Yes but it's still the best or second best looking open world game IMO... Guerrilla are tech wizards. I just didn't expect to be impressed by Bend coupled with UE4 to be honest. It's a pleasant surprise!

Days Gone |OT| A Deacon of Hope

You're right, I was reading total file size on that.
Still, that's a big patch.
From the gameplay I watched it seems there are question marks but they only show up when you are near them.
I have a pair of the PlayStation 500 million limited headset. Same thing as these right with the 3D audio option?
Yeah it should be. Make sure to download the companion app from PSN store.
I saw the swimming thing. If they put a small drowning animation at the end of a timer it'd be way more acceptable. Right now its like the water is an invisible wall lol. Unless of course there's an ingame reason why water kill deacon.
I'm afraid I need to wait for reviews and better impressions of the game before I pull the trigger on this one. Too many development setbacks from a developer that has yet to truly prove themselves. I want this game to be amazing so cautiously optimistic on this one.
The studio behind Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Resistance: Retribution, and the whole Syphon Filter series hasn't proved themselves?
Most of their development efforts have been on older portables/consoles, not a current gen platform. Hopefully this is their ace in the hole.
Meh, Syphon Filter games were amazing and memorable to this day. People are still clamoring for a remake/revival so there's that.
It's still a demonstrable track record of managing and completing large scale projects to critical acclaim. I can understand maybe being apprehensive to the first open world game from the team, but I guess I just disagree with the idea of Bend having not proved themselves as a great team already.
I can't wait to see the looks at the faces of those who were pretty sure the game will score low 70s on MC.
Tomorrow!
I mean, from the previews ("it's a AAA-ass game that borrows from a ton of other AAA games in a way that works") make it sound very competent.
If it's something special remains to be seen, but I'm down for some open world "zombie" action on a motorbike.
Has night lasting for over an hour been confirmed?
The clear Horizon influences have been nice to see
Perhaps my phrasing was poor. They HAVE proved themselves in the past, but not in the current console generation. I've got my PSN bucks ready to pull the trigger. I love this style of game so this is right up my alley.
User warned: drive-by trolling across several threads
Ready at Dawn had a good track record as well - we know how that turned out
You can say it as many times as you like but it's still not true. If you can name 3 single player only games with day one 20GB patches then you win a prize. We've had Kingdom so far and that's the only one with a 20GB patch.
I mean, I've preordered the game already but that size a patch is taking the piss and would put me off if I didn't have a half decent connection.
Really not sure what your need is to bring The Order into discussion(s) about Days Gone.
OT: Like others, I've been on the train since the beginning. Less than 48 hours to go!
Haha We all know u will be the one with that one 6/10 review telling everyone " I told u so " while disregarding all the positive reviews .
Here we go again... Why are you going into every Days gone thread if you have 0 interest?
Wht? I thought you were curious about patch sizes this gen. If I knew you were looking to prove a point then I would not have started this conversation with you.
Most AAA games have big day one patches, this includes some single player only titles. I don't know how many of them are around or above 20 GB.
This is just petty now. The Order 1886 is 6 hours long with half of that (3 hours) dedicated to cutscenes. RAD fucked up, Bend isn't making the same mistake.
I'm not generally bothered emotionally by how games are perceived on the run up to release, I mean, who cares right? But with Days Gone it's been bizarre how aggressively people have shit all over it and I'm genuinely (pathetically?) hoping it does really, really well critically and commercially in large part just to stick two fingers up to everyone who concern trolled, who spouted 'GENERIC' without ever expanding on why, who wittered on about zombie fatigue, open world fatigue, bad animations, bad sound effects, backwards pointing hats, ad nauseum, who just straight up refused to give it a chance. Fingers crossed the review thread is glorious tomorrow.
I've been on board since the reveal, buying this weekend. Don't let me down you magnificent bastard.

Because he's lonely and wants attention. Even if that means being weird on the internet.
Gee I'm glad you're here to bring up the Order again. Thank you for your service
I'll be honest, I've been skeptical about the game since it's reveal. Nothing in the early trailers made the game look compelling or original.
I've since come around but that's only thanks to the extended gameplay footage that has only come out recently.
I mean, I get the "trolling" part of people being down on the game, but I think a larger part was Sony just marketing the game very poorly from the start.
Nope, it was a rhetorical question which you answered with a one word answer which aside from being completely inaccurate made no attempt to justify it with examples.
Why even answer the question when you don't even know what games launched with patch sizes this enormous?
If a single player game is so broken it needs a patch of that size it should be delayed otherwise we might just as well do away with physical copies of games altogether.
You've been shitting up Days Gone threads with comparisons like this for a while now - could you give it a rest please? For someone who doesn't care about the game you sure like telling everyone. Repeatedly.
Damn this thread has got to me (especially those PNG screenshots) and I pulled the trigger. My backlog just got fuller
Oh. Look who's here mentioning the Order again.
Now get ready for the sealioning.
Wasnt dead rising 3 a launch title for the xbox one? A console that stripped all its drm 6 months before launch and was in panick stations to get games running for launch.
Or are you talking about dead rising 4, because dead rising 3 seems like an odd choice to compare this too.
