Looks like it'll depend on various camp trust meter. I wonder if there will be camp that's not getting along and you have to pick sides. Which will effect the ending.
I'm torn between wanting multiple ending or just 1 defined ending. Multiple ending mean you have to play multiple times to see everything while I like that you can get 100% completion in 1 playthrough for Spider-Man and Horizon
I wonder if survivor storylines will differ depending on which camp you send them to. Lisa survivor story seems pretty detailed. You send her to one of the camp, later you speak to her that she didn't feel right at the camp and later got kidnapped when the camp is attacked.
I want to know if her story will always follow the story about not fitting in and got kidnapped, or there will be different storylines altogether if you sent her to different camp.

If anything, that will be required on the harder difficulty. It seems like an easy mode would allow you to disable on-the-fly crafting, not hard mode.
The best on the fly crafting was in The Last of Us. I love that it takes a bit of time, while the game still running in the background.

Not sure how it will work in this game otherwise,this game is all about keeping on the move and escaping at a moment notice.
Cracking impressions! Division 2 will tide me over nicely until this drops. This is going to do REALLY well for Sony and Bend! Can't wait.

Jesus, haters gonna hate
It's one of the core elements of the game and is an inherent part of the gameplay loop. If anything it'll become more important as it gets harder and be a part of the challenge itself.
Well at least the survivors that you send there get a nice RIP carved into the skin.
Just my assumption, but maybe (only?) the Skills menu screen will be 60 fps?
I hope it wont turn the PS4 fan into jet again...

Giant Bomb staff played Days Gone at the recent preview event and talked about it on a podcast (around the 38:20 mark): https://www.giantbomb.com/shows/episode-198/2970-18880
Its available to their Patreon subscribers now(maybe even yesterday). It will be available to the rest of us on Monday I believe.
From the 10 minutes he spoke about it at the end of the May 6th games daily report, he loved it.
Dan was pretty harsh. I think It might be the most negative impression i've heard so far, lol.
He's hit or miss when it comes to games that I might like/hate so the game might just end up being fine.
I'll be honest I didn't expect him to like the game since it's so story focused but damn he straight up hated it lol. Hopefully he wont be the one to review it.
When are they not? Some of them look miserable when talking about games lol
GB in general aren't a group that shares my tastes. I would always respect Jeff's opinions of older games and the industry but if anyone is going to them for predictions or opinions on games...yeah. Remember how before this gen their general consensus was they were worried consoles wouldn't sell.
Also Dan loves EVERY Mario party 😂

I think Vinny would be into Days Gone and I hope he doesn't shy away from playing it. He loved Horizon Zero Dawn but didn't play it till this year because the others poo-pooed it so much.
Has the SkillUp preview/impressions been posted yet?

"Days Gone is Nailing Some Important Things"
Did he? Was always disappointed they didn't even mention Horizon for best story at the end of the year podcasts.
I'll bet my life's savings on your PS4 sounding like a 747 getting ready to take off while playing this
As harsh as he is there are other impressions that are super positive so lets not focus on the only negative impression we've had thus far.
Honestly they're so jaded on almost everything in the games industry now - unless it's a retro style/influenced game they're generally negative. I enjoy listening to them bc of their humor but watching their E3 reactions/listening to game reactions are almost always negative
I mean go back to the Sony 2016 conference (which was arguably one of their best) - even their God of War reactions were negative because "they kept the same Kratos, how is that believable"
Plus it's giant bomb. The last time I think I saw them get even remotely excited was when Jeff played the dreams beta... and even that was barely even evident. They're as cynical as a games media outlet comes.
I think people expect them to be super enthusiastic like the Easy Allies crew. They all have varied tastes and are usually not over the top on stuff they like or find interesting. I guess you can see that as jaded. Not everyone gets excited at every AAA game that is announced or that is coming out. Which is why I love them even if I don't always agree with their opinions. Also, God of War literally made their top 10 games list for that year. It was like number 4 or something.
But even God of War was heavily contested to make it into their top 5
Jeff and Brad didn't like it and thought the combat/performance wasn't good
I don't expect them to be super happy/excited like Easy Allies or Kinda Funny but at least be a little more optimistic when it comes down reveals. I just feel like they embrace the role of the contrarian way too often
Yeah he talked about it a few times on the podcast with the story being one of his favourite parts. Sad thing was the rest of the group treated him like he was talking about Sonic All-Star Racing.
I see where you're coming from and I don't really feel like they purposely go against the status quo or are contrarian for that matter. I think if you are looking for hype and all that stuff then Easy Allies and KF are a way better fit.
One thing that I've found irritating in the more negative previews is, why is there some special expectation on Days Gone that it NEEDS to reinvent the wheel. I think it's an odd expectation these days. Are people just tired of videogames? Maybe it's because I've avoided half of the big open world games and have been pretty selective on the genre.
I also still haven't gotten a good answer from anyone as to what other game is doing this specific combination of things on PS4. The closest I can think of is Dying Light, but even that is pretty different in tone and execution.

I love Giant Bomb for their personalities but honestly I think they mostly have pretty terrible taste collectively. It often feels like they will rave about some mobile game or early access thing as long as it has the whole carrot on a string thing and numbers going up.
There last few years of top 10 debates have actively made me angry.
Previews are a strange beast in the main. They tend to talk at length about positive aspects of the game, but it's always worth noting the small parts where they do cover things they dislike as they are usually pretty telling.
The latest Eurogamer video is a good example, it's titled '5 things we liked about Days Gone and 1 thing we didn't'. Great! you'd think. The positives seem to outweigh the bad.
But when you realise the one thing they didn't like was that after three hours of play they never had any desire to play the game again, it becomes clear it's probably best to wait for the reviews.
