From the studio that made a bad Uncharted game, comes a TLoU rip off that doesn't understand why TLoU worked. Pass.

That could be it.

For a new IP I'd want something just a bit more inspired. Well, a lot more.

 

[Lime]

Disappointing as a "new IP" when it's so derivative with american midwestern zombie shooter game.

 

[TimeEffect]

Endless zombie horde kind of killed the tension for me. The number was impressive.

I am more interested in the story! I love this idea of riding motorcycles, and I love the main character for some reason. He's apparently a deacon.

To me, I want to play a good story. I think it shows a world of difference between ND's approach to LoU and Bend's approach here.

Not to be so judgmental, but I do hope the story is as intriguing as it may look. For some reason, I really like the protagonist.

 

[Persona7]

Why did they randomly throw the demo in at the last moment? Technical issues maybe?

 

[Quotient]

Of the game shown this looked the most interesting until the actual gameplay demo - the shooting seemed off and there were numerous times the zombies looked to be right at the characters face and nothing happened.

They could have done a better job with that demo.

 

[Devilgunman]

Thoroughly uninspired. So sick of fucking zombie games.

Yeah, not feeling anything from the demo. At all. And to have that as a closure to the conference is truly a mistake.

 

[Ocarina_117]

I was really tense until the guy walked through the crowd of zombies without any damage. Meh.

Seemed interesting otherwise. Looks like a more actiony TloU. Not sure I'm interested yet.

 

[Trevelyon]

Seems baffling to me why Sony are backing this game so hard.

 

[humansarehorses]

I guess it looks okay. Gun sounds tinny as hell.

It's the crafting element. He was using the attachment as a silencer because he was trying to kill that one guy.

They probably should have focused more on the crafting than the giant horde.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Much more interested in a new God of War than new IP. Weird.

 

[Illucio]

Looks like The Last of Us 2 but with Sons of Anarchy motif.

 

[Nirolak]

I'm glad they changed the title from the previous awful one.

 

[UrbanRats]

I really hope this is an open world, otherwise it'd be bootleg Last of Us.

 

[Loudninja]

Seems baffling to me why Sony are backing this game so hard.

Why wouldn't they?

 

[misses bull]

This is the worst thing of all of e3.

Days Gone is the Medal of Honor of this generation

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Not sure if this "conference closer" worthy. Looks pretty decent, but nothing too special.

I'm glad they changed the title from the previous awful one.

So much this.

 

[Concept17]

I loved it. Brought back that feel of zombie hordes in L4D, where you would just unload on them and do everything to take em down. This feels more inspired by L4D than say Last of Us.

And we certainly aren't getting a new L4D anytime soon...

This is the worst thing of all of e3.

Days Gone is the Medal of Honor of this generation

lol, hyperbole much

 

[DarkConfidant]

I thought the engine looked a lot like the Uncharted 4 engine, leading me to think that it was Last of Us 2.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Clearly suffered from being over scripted being an E3 demo and all. Looks cool but I will reserve judgment until a more fluid/natural gameplay demo.

 

[Chuck Norris]

I thought it looked really good for what it was. Looked like TLOU x Dead Rising.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

Like everyone else I too get The Last of Us vibes. I will watch this game and see how it develops and I am interested as of now.

 

[Pooya]

I'm glad they changed the title from the previous awful one.

It had a different title?

 

[Danis Saur]

I'm amazed at the hoard of zombies, it looked sooo good. That huge wave of zombies... so good. But, it will have to have an amazing, unique story because this looks bland. Other than that wave of zombies of course.

 

[Harlequin]

Kinda mixed feelings on this one. I mean, it looked great for what it is but what it is is another zombie apocalypse game and I was already not a fan of that kind of setting in The Last of Us. So yeah, I really don't care for the setting and as great as this looks, unless its promo really blows me away at some point in the future, I think I'll give it a pass. Kind of a shame considering it sort of feels like a waste of a talented studio to me (and before someone starts complaining, I'll say it again: to me). We'll probably already be getting another Last of Us, anyway, having this take place in such a similar setting just seems a bit redundant.

 

[Eggbok]

Anyone else?

 

[Willy Wanka]

The first trailer was good but the gameplay left me feeling pretty cold. As others have said, that might have been because of the way the game was set up for the E3 demo.

 

[Shambalakan]

I really liked it, even as a zombie hater!

 

[misses bull]

lol, hyperbole much

Not really. I can't think of a more generic looking game at e3

Doesn't help that the gun sound effects sounded horrible

 

[biglittleps]

Demo was just ok (zombie flood was nice to shoot) and also seems like they were not ready to be shown, but the story trailer was really interesting and got my interest in this game. Hope to see more from this in PSX.

 

[nampad]

basically a world war z shitty movie version game

Ftfy

 

[Shredderi]

I'm super baffled about the mixed reactions in here. I thought it looked really good and I'm usually siding with the majority opinions lol.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

Safe to assume this is PS4 only and never coming to PC?

 

[Nirolak]

It had a different title?

Dead Don't Ride.

 

[Megalosaro]

This is Last of Us 2. They're pulling a Kojima on us. They using Bend as dummy company.

 

[Wollan]

Zombie crowd physics was a clear step up from whatever else zombie-tech seen so far.

 

[Kaversmed]

I literally don't understand the negativity in this thread. Game looked beautiful and I've never seen enemy density like that before. This looked way more interesting than something like Gears 4 in my opinion.

 

[Leona Lewis]

RIP all the rejected Bend proposals circa 2011-2014

They must've been pretty terrible if this was the last man standing.

 

[boingball]

Need to see more of this game before I pass judgment. While the amount of zombies was impressing they didn't seem very scary, since you could just walk through them.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Wish we had seen more motorcycle-action, but otherwise, I liked it a lot!

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

I'm glad they changed the title from the previous awful one.

What was the old title?

 

[biglittleps]

Safe to assume this is PS4 only and never coming to PC?

Its sony first party studio game, so it will never come to PC unless sony ports all of their games.

 

[Walpurgis]

Anyone else?

The first thing that came to my mind. It's awesome.

 

[Bio-Frost]

I literally don't understand the negativity in this thread. Game looked beautiful and I've never seen enemy density like that before. This looked way more interesting than something like Gears 4 in my opinion.

I like this post!

[Zemm]

That gameplay demo killed the excitement I had from the earlier reveal, it just didn't look good at all.

 

[Defect]

Wasn't what I was expecting it to be but I'll try it.

Anyway

Whoooo

 

[Falchion]

This looked really good, like TLOU with a lot more ammo.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

I'm super baffled about the mixed reactions in here. I thought it looked really good and I'm usually siding with the majority opinions lol.

I thought it looked amazing. I noticed the unlimited ammo(probably for demo purposes), but I felt the "panic" Shu mentioned.

 

[dr_rus]

So lots of zombies. Well, I might be interested if it'll be more than just shooting waves of mindless enemies running on you.

 

[Yoday]

Based on the mountain range in the trailer I am pretty sure this is set in the Oregon Cascades near Bend. The mountain range looks like The Three Sisters. Even without that mountain range it all just looks like the Cascades region. So, that's cool.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

Anyone else?

I'd love it if they actually climbed over each other and used each other as ladders. Could make for amazing gameplay.
