There's definitely at least one more Freaker type that has not been shown yet.

I'm so relieved seeing that the Special edition is back to regular size after Spider-Man enlargement lol.
The same reviewers who give it a low score for "not being original enough" will be the same ones who complain about the studio shutting down when the game doesn't do well.
Like yes, valid criticism is good, and studio closures are at least in part on the backs of the studio owners, but it feels disingenuous to simultaneously care about a studios future while being petty and doing what you can to bury it.

Very nice touch with the thunder starting first then the rain.
I just checked for you but it seems that this comes with the deluxe edition, not the standard one.

Another guy beat the game

Thanks and that is interesting as in the US the normal version has this one included as a pre-order. Looks like I will buy it from the US store
This is honestly what Im expecting...and right now, sounds just what Im looking for.
So we've had about 3 people that have completed the game that have basically all rated it around 8 to 8.5/10. I'm guessing 78-85 MC is pretty much locked at this point.
The German magazine M!Games reviewed the game in the current issue, which I got three days early as a subscriber. They reviewed version 1.02.
Pros:
- Land idyll with nasty zombie troops
- Many interesting NPCs
- Giant freaker hordes with daytime dependent behaviour
- Fine graphics
Cons:
- Sometimes the game crashes
- Cutscenes often get interrupted by loading screens
- Popups and poor framerate in later parts of the game (even on PS4 Pro)
- Generic mission design
The score is 83%. Overall they really liked the game. The soundtrack reminds them of The Last of Us. I think the biggest point of criticism are the repetitive and generic missions, story missions are marked with a yellow symbol.

I just got £130 cashback on a three-year old phone, so I've pre-ordered the game. Was going to wait, but hey.

The player in question rated the game a 75/7.5 and I think they'll be more forgiving and less critical than the reviewers who have harbored preconceived notions about the game from the moment of its unveiling. I know many of them have now recanted and acknowledge that they are in fact looking forward to the game but I think anyone expecting an 85 as the high end for the game will need to reconsider. 79-82 is my revised estimate and even with that, the game will still sell incredibly well and will ensure that Bend can proceed to make whatever games they want or continue this franchise in the future.
I'll give impressions tonight gonna install and update (?) shortly.
Yeah, I think you need to back this up with some sources. That's insiders (plural) claiming The Order was going to be "incredible", or a synonym as applicable.

I think this might be the best looking UE4 game out there right now
I am watching some videos and damn... looks hot as hell
A pitty the animations are so janky though. They are especially bad compared to how good everything else is, fidelity-wise. It feels very low-budget-ish.
Hopefully they can up their game on this aspect for the next one.

Is this one of the games where you can say I can climb that mountain I see in the background? Or are some things off limits
I'm sure with the success of Days Gone (hopefully) Sony Bend studio will grow. A 130 person team on a project this big is no easy task.
Some people received the game earlier last week. Almost two weeks before the game gets released.
Seems to have similar complaints to a lot of other open world games. Can't wait to see a freaker horde for myself though.
Generic and repetetive missions...Why am I not surprised?
Damn son, hold your horses
Why dont you throw there some raytracing while you are at it
To be fair not a lot of open world games hide repetitive side content well. If the gameplay loop is good enough, than side content should be OK. As long as controls are fine usually loop is addictive.
I've always heard that a lot of a games performance issues are worked on in like the last couple months and the game went gold on 3/8 so I can see the day one patch being pretty significant for performance stuff. I mean that's just me guessing but I would hope a game this long in development, especially a Sony game, be fairly solid on the performance front.
OT is up for those interested

My mom and pop shop might get this in tonight. Will probably cancel Best buy Pre-order even though I still have GCU.
