Days Gone |OT| A Deacon of Hope
- Thread starter Nagito
- Start date
There's different types, similar to how Left 4 had the hunters and tanks aside from the usual freakers.
This recent video does a good job of showing some of the freaker variety but its possible they are holding some off for spoiler reasons.
Also don't forget they are infected animals too like rager bears and wolves.

In this video you can hear how much Bend improved the gun sounds across the board.
Amazing OT just missing some stealth gameplay information tbh.
Looking forward to the release, I can't wait to see the story and the Syphon Filter Easter eggs

Yo people asking for why Deacon can't change his outfit, he can't because the cutscenes are pre rendered. Similiar to Mafia 3.
Good to hear, will pick this up in a month or so i reckons, the world looks like a lot of fun to explore.
Sigh, that explains the big size of the game when it should be around 40..
Thanks for the info.
I'm not really one that cares much for spoilers. I got spoiled on the entirety of BB before I played it and I still think it's one of the best games this gen.
This will be a great weekend. Home alone, some Jambalaya, some stuff for university and plenty of time for Days Gone. Absolutely in the mood for some ubiesque Open World and Zombies (I don't like the term freakers oder whatever is used for infected/zombies)
But still, it's much more fun to get blindsided and surprised by some unexpected creature that makes you go 'wow', than knowing it's in the game beforehand, isn't it?
Yeah it's going to be a fun ride for me after a break up.
If it's something really special and unique, sure but I'm not exactly sure if Days Gone will cause a paradigm shift in zombie games or anything. On the other hand, you can also say that I'm pretty weak willed so sucks to be me I guess.
Yeah but as Tom said, in the cutscenes it shows his default jacket. It is only in in-game cutscenes and the dlc that you can see the outfits.
It wasn't intended to have outfits before people complained.
Just had it confirmed that my copy will be shipped today so should have it by tomorrow, can't wait 😁
A very stylish thread, Nagito. Thanks for your work.
Hours before release, I think Days Gone's best asset is that no one seems to be expecting a "GOTY caliber" game. There is a collected air around it, very accepting of its virtues and its shortcomings. It is from this moderate position that the final product could be able to surprise us and take the world (players) by storm.
Days Gone doesn't need to be the next interactive wonder. It's enough for Sony Bend and the franchise, to start off on the right foot and deliver a nice, solid product.

When is the review embargo up? I'll probably end up getting it on release but I'm still curious nonetheless.
Speaking of easter eggs, it'd be cool if they put a clicker somewhere for us to find.
Does hard difficulty turn the zombies into annoying sponges or what? I like a challenge but everyone being a supersponge would probably get old
They've shown a few variants like a big brute one and little children ones -- I would assume there are more as well but I'm not sure

Just got email from Shopto saying they have taken payment for the Steelbook version and are getting ready to ship it, bring on Friday.
is the game broken without the day1 patch or still playable but a bit buggy. because the 23gb patch will mean i wont get to play till Saturday if its broken without it.
It is playable but you might run into issues here and there. Someone fell through the world (one time) and the performance got worse here and there.
I would recommend downloading the patch if possible for the best experience but it is playable without.
alright. thanks. hopefully my internet plays nice Friday afternoon and i can play sometime friday night.
You are welcome. I hope you enjoy it.
I am ready for it. Game is installed and is waiting to unlock. 2 more days.
Been wondering what it looks like when you run into zombies while biking

Looks satisfying enough
My main issue with the game is some of the combat animations are sloppy -- you see characters/enemies juttering around, flicking their position, etc, particularly during melee. That said, it's not so bad that I think it'd ruin my enjoyment, and there are some good elements too. Blood/gore looks pretty good. The general rendering quality of the characters and especially the environment is absolutely world class. Environment looks on the level of HZD if not better.

I also realized this.
The animations are not exactly Naughty Dog (yet?), but it's functional & sometimes funny somewhat.
But good effort from Bend at least.
Here we are. Near the end of the road for this game.
I'll be the first to admit that when the long-rumored Bend Studio's new IP was unveiled at E3 2016, there was a sinking drop-of-mic moment when it turned out to be a gritty, self-serious open world zombie game. And while I've come around on the game to thinking that it looks pretty neat overall, it's still not a pitch or setting that excites me - unlike say, The Order or Ghost of Tsushima.
But credit to Bend. The leads for Days Gone has been on-the-record on being open about their inspirations for the game (RDR/Sons of Anarchy/TWD) and the more I see the game, while it's not a game pitch that subverts its inspiration, it's clearly a product that wants to live up to those games and shows that they were inspired by.
And when I look at other aspects of the project's origin and where they were compared to now, it's still surprising that a studio that hasn't made a AAA console game in a decade was allowed the time, resources and creative freedom to make a game, that while not revolutionary from a game-design standpoint, is very ambitious in many different facets.
However the game's critical and commercial reception will be, here's to you - Bend Studios.
P.S. My OT name of choice would've been |OT| Bend it Like Oregon

My interest in this is slowly increasing the more gameplay I see, even though the dudebro characters are extremely unappealing to me.
I remember reading somewhere that it was 20 developers or so doing all the animations. Really crazy considering the quality.
Sound is definitely good. The visual of the rain at night looks nice.
I actually watched Sons of Anarchy, as it was mentioned as an inspiration for Deacon and geez, it was such an awesome series and I nearly missed that one. So Days Gone already has a plus side for me, even before release ;)
Only played a preview build during an event for 3 hours and liked it, let's see how the final version is going to be.

Yes, from Reddit:
There are also animal freakers.
How would the bike look in cutscenes if prerendered?
And Mafia 3's cutscenes were real time by the way.

And attack on titan season 4 aaaaand cobra kai season 2.Endgame, Game of Thrones, then Days Gone in the same week.
Best week of the year.
I just completely forgot to check Opencritic. Thanks guys!
What happens if you run out of gas? Do you have to leave your bike, go and find some and then find your bike again to fill it up?
You can steal a rival gang's bike or go to a friendly camp and pay them to bring it back.
Or you can explore to find gas and bring it back to your bike to refuel.
