Now if only we could mod some co-operative multiplayer into this beast...

Game starts out like shit, gets in a good groove and then wears out it's welcome by stretching a 20 hr game over 40+ hours. Some of the worst cutscenes, characters and dialogue I've experienced in an AAA game ever.
It is a looker though. Should look bonkers on a good rig. Right behind RDR2 as far as open world visuals.

For sure! I definitely got sucked into upgrading my bike, skills, and weapons, and some of the later weapons you get are so much fun to use. The game has great atmosphere, and I'm glad that it seems like a lot of people started to come around to the game, because it was always pretty damn good, but a lot of folks wrote it off. Not every game needs to reinvent the wheel, and, mechanically, Day's Gone reminded me of an open world The Last of Us (when it comes to scrounging for resources and crafting items, that is; tonally, i think they're very different).
Such a pleasant surprise of a game for me. Not that I thought it'd be bad, just that I wasn't sure if I was interested in the premise at all.
I think Deacon is an underrated protagonist as well. He's not a charming, likeable quipster rogue, he's just an asshole, but, unlike many protagonists, that aim to endear them to you from jump, NO SPOILERS, Deacon actually grows as a character as the narrative progresses, and he's not the same person at the end as he was at the start. I think he's really well conceived and written, personally. And I started off really disliking him. He grew on me, big time.
Sort of. Oddly, on Steam Days Gone is published by PlayStation Mobile, Inc. and Horizon Zero Dawn is published by PlayStation Mobile Inc (sans comma). Both are considered separate publishers on Steam. What? Huh? Why? I guess it's easy to create a new publisher profile. So just create an SIE one!
Can't agree more. I bought Days Gone on sale in the summer of last year, and thankfully waited until January to play on PS5, enhanced at 60fps. Calling Days Gone a gem is the best descriptor for this game. It is 100% worth playing, really picks up steam after the first couple of hours, and pays off in the end from both a gameplay and story standpoint.
And I must say, that ultrawide looks good... damn good.
I downloaded it on PS5 through PS Plus and played a tiny bit, but I'll definitely grab it on PC and do a play-through.
Should be interesting to see if we can unlock any more settings through the UE4 console unlocker, like downsampling and removing the HUD/radar etc.

So, will they add those features to the PS5 version?
I know that BC has some limitations, but they could release a native PS5 version.

Well 2 of them are unlikely (uncapped fps and ultrawide). Maybe the improved graphics?
PS5 doesn't support ultrawide, and I doubt arbitrary rendering resolutions choice will be a thing on console. But I imagine any PS5 update could achieve the rest other than higher refresh as 120hz output is max for PS5 iirc.
HZD on PS5 hasn't got the PC updates though if I'm not mistaken
16GB RAM
16GB has been the standard for gaming PCs for a couple years. It's pretty cheap now too.
I'm saying about improved draw distance, foliage and etc. The game already runs at 60 fps via BC. They could add a mode with these things at 30 fps
OMG YES IT'S STEAM AND NOT EGS EXCLUSIVE
I'm so happy they're spreading the love
Don't hurt me like this, I still remember summer 2020

I only played through the first hour and that was largely my take away. Its storytelling is actively pushing me away hard.
I do agree that they have notoriety, but I disagree that most PC players are enthusiasts. There are people who play on laptops and windowed mode without ever checking graphical options. And there are a lot of them. For those who don't check forums, social media about games, or Steam pages, it's harder to find these games - especially as it's just the second major release.
Like I said, I'm sure those could be added in an update, if they are inclined to do so. But top features for me are also flexibility in resolution and framerate too. Folks are going to be keen on going well beyond 60hz. I'll certainly be pushing for 100-144hz range as I usually do. Also if this is like HZD, full Steam Input support is always fantastic, and an awesome feature for those of us using all sorts of controllers incl. things like Steam Controller, or wanting to map our own Gyro support etc
Yeah, you've missed my point. What I'm getting at is that there are more enthusiasts in the platform imo, and its an ecosystem that propagates info typically without the marketing fanfare of giant console launches, without the platform holders hand. I'd say that's pretty normal.
This was one of the only big PS4 exclusives I didn't play so might grab it on PC if the price isnt shit
Hell yeah! I'm glad I waited on this one. :-)
edit: Legit question, why do a lot of people think that it may have gone to EGS as an exclusive? That didn't happen with HZD...

and here I thought I was alone!! tbh I'm gonna wait a bit and see if it'll drop on Epic. I've already waited this long, what's a few more months?!
I think the notable difference here is the level of marketing exposure. PC-players are generally not used to marketing campaigns since there is no single company that oversees the platform, so whether you're "casual" or "enthusiast" you'll have to rely on conventional discovery methods such as word of mouth, social media, reviews (professional or user submitted) or whatever tools are available through the store you're using. I mean, you can pretty much look at any successful PC-title, their initial success is very rarely backed by marketing in any significant capacity.
As was shown with "very positive" that text box seems to just be a text box. When the set up the page they must have forgotten the comma.
Remember that while it's releasing in 2021, it's still a 2019 game.
System requirements are standard 8th gen games. Most AAA games have the 1060 as recommended gpu.

Well, it's third person to start. Most of those games are first person due to budget/resource limitations. There's also those screens with Deacon on his bike, one of which is shooting at a zombie, which I bet has never been seen before in early access games.
With Horizon I understand that the PS4/Pro hardware would not be able to handle that set of improvements. But the story is a little different now with the PS5.
I got that, but I'm still reluctant about it being a platform where there are more enthusiasts than those who don't follow gaming news and forums. I'm sure there are a lot who basically play Fortnite/League of Legends/Counter-Strike/DOTA and/or games that are big on Twitch.
Oh, for sure. But still, announcements usually come with a press release or a YouTube video. Even if they're not constant. Sony's PC strategy has announcements in the middle of an exclusive interview.
Yeah, 1060 was recommended for Horizon, Cyberpunk and as well as RDR2. It doesn't tell us anything about optimization.
System requirements mean nothing to me, anymore.
I'll await the Digital Foundry breakdown for the truth.
It's like Jim Ryan once read the "...just shot themselves in the foot.." meme and took it dead seriously.

Such an embarrassing way for Sony to do business. I can't believe they base strategy on how angry their fanboys get over ports.
