Huh, I never even realized that Uncharted did that. Even Uncharted 4
Well, if you're going to draw ideas from other games, take them from the best.

To the best of my knowledge, nothing will be effected during rebuild. Just like you can defrag on Windows, it just internally sorts your PS4 files, which may end up making menus (or even game files) load a bit quicker and reduce choppiness in games from data being loaded from different parts of the HDD (not much of an issue in SSD's I imagine).
As long as it scores around 80, it'll be a win-win situation. I even foresee an scenario where it goes below 70 (which I don't see happening) and still becomes a big commercial hit, which would help both Bend and the franchise to live on for another day.
All in all, this is one of those releases too big to fail, and it won't.

This sounds great. I was always under the impression that initialise/format was the only option. Guess I'm rebuilding the database after I delete The Lost Legacy tomorrow night.
From what I've seen I cant see it getting under a 70. I think it looks pretty solid. I'm still sticking with my solid 78 and a hope to be surprised.
That makes sense to me. So the 500 million edition is the gold version then? If they make a profile for it that would be cool, they sounded great when playing through Spider-Man just on default settings. Thanks for this info!
Watched a bit on mobile and it looks fine but they're just roaming in empty spaces for now.
78 sounds realistic, I agree. As much as 83, if I was to feel more positive. Everything above that would surprise me too, but in any case, and as you pointed out, it would be a solid range.
He was just fighting marauders and freakers near an infestation.
I was seeing alot of that in one vid they doge melee attacks and your gunfire as well
Yeah I noticed they dodge some of the melee attacks and counter attack. Will have to remember to not swing wildly now and get ready to dodge out the way if they go for a counter attack.
Yep, like I stated last night, Bend has done a good job differentiating freakers from your average zombie. The dodge manoeuvre is pretty good to get out of a build up.
Make sure you Mikiri the thrust attacks and jump over the sweeping ones. Shit, wrong game.
any impressions about hard mode, is it challenging enough? is it fun? resources spare or plenty?
debating if i might start this game in june on survival

Haha, will need to try to train my brain not too. Sekiro combat was so good though.
I'm so locked into Sekiro this is going to be weird, lol.
Cross-post from the other thread, sounds like a solid open-world zombie game if they managed to fix the technical issues with patch 1.03
First(?) Review from German games mag MGames (not online yet).
Here's a summary:
Verdict: 8.3/10
Days Gone is not in the same league as TLOU, Horizon or GOW but Oregon is still worth the bike trip. It offers a unique, detailed playground for you to explore and tense moments when confronted with hordes of freakers.
+ Many interesting NPCs
+ Giant hordes of freakers whose behavior varies with the time of day [and weather]
+ Fine visual presentation
- The game crashes from time to time [note: reviewed with patch 1.02]
- Loading screens that pop up during story sequences
- Bland mission design
First(?) Review from German games mag MGames (not online yet).
Here's a summary:
- Deacon doesn't have a huge amount of HP at the start and has to be careful around enemies
- Large arsenal of weapons and crafting options like Horizon
- Human enemies have poor AI that's easy to exploit, freakers and wild animal offer a bigger challenge
- Weapon and bike upgrades in the camps. Each camp represents a faction that has their own way of dealing with the end times (preppers, forced labor, etc.) and they each have their own currencies.
- Uninspired mission and enemy design (fetch quests and the zombie lineup from Left 4 Dead)
- The narrative throughline often gets lost in a sea of sidequests (tip: yellow symbols indicate missions that are relevant to the story)
- Bike feels slow at the beginning of the game, upgrades change that and make it fun. You should prioritize gas tank upgrades. There is a fast-travel option but it only works if there's enough gas in your tank.
- Time of day and weather conditions affect the size and strength of freaker hordes. Weather also affects the handling of your bike.
- Detailed visual presentation, lots of little details that especially stand out on characters and enemies. Good-looking weather effects.
- HDR doesn't add much, mostly benefits dark scenes like those set during moonlight
- Very long initial loading, followed by more loading during story cutscenes that often takes you out of the otherwise cinematic experience
- Lacks technical polish: Game crashes, pop-in while riding the bike and unstable framerate during later sections of the game (even on PS4 Pro with patch 1.02)
- Good voice acting and surround sound implementation, the soundtrack is a little reminiscent of The Last of Us.
- Deacon becomes a more interesting character as time goes on, but the way the story is told doesn't work in favor of a rising narrative tension

Myself and Ninja need to be added to that list, as are a dozen or so more era members.
I was always interested in it but since last months i actually started to feel it. Didnt preordered yet tho.. waiting for some more impressions
for me it was glorious since the beginning.
giant zombie horde, sam witwer as a protagonist, tlou-ish gameplay and sons of anarchy theme, i was super hyped already.
i watched this trailer like 50 times in 3 years.
All jokes aside, it was one of Bends first interviews after the reveal in 2016 where they mentioned their "Creative Freedom" I knew I'd be picking it up day 1. I mean, even back in 2016 the notion that studios could go create without interference from publishers shoe-horning in their own bs, seemed increasingly rare.
I replayed the start and it felt better, but nowhere near perfect. The drops are kind of weird though, you can be fighting a horde and not notice any significant drops but be walking around a camp and it bottoms out. Maybe it's loading in a horde or some other event that's doing it? That might also explain why some people get drops in an area and others don't.
I had a streaming bug during the opening mission that obliterated my bike, so there's still work to be done on that end.
Yeah it has to be something going on with that, you would thank hordes would be the most taxing , but I guess its good if its not becuase that would have been a bigger issue .Thanks!
I'm curious how the exploration and side quests feel.
Is it more like Witcher 3/RDR2 or Ubisoft open worlds? Would love to be the former (although it isn't probably even logical to expect it from such a small studio), with discovering the story through interesting locations, characters and collectibles, but so far the opinions don't seem to be that good in this matter.

Ahem just wanna say I'm the king of this whole operation 🚶🏾♂️
Even if I end up enjoying this game, I will NEVER forget how rubbish it was as a closer to an otherwise sterling E3 conference.
only because i'm a newts member of this forum and i wasn't present at the reveal (see what i did there)
Same. Although the AI interactions between enemy types should ideally make up for weaker human AI
Fake reviews?
Not to keep this going, but I disagree. Visually, it looked better every time they showed it. It was a well polished game, actually. It's biggest issues were lack of replay value and it needed tighter gameplay (though I thoroughly enjoyed it).
Regardless, Days Gone and it have only one thing in common - Sony properties. Otherwise, the former is shaping up to be a much stronger release.
