Days Gone Receives 25gb Update
- Thread starter Psychotron
- Start date
- News
I think I heard something about more asset files decreasing load times, so maybe that's part of what they're doing here (forgive me if I butchered the details).
Bloodborne.. The Last Guardian....there is hope. (Why is Gravity Rush 2 not in PS+?)
I would love for a last guardian patch. Even on Pro that game at times was rough
fantastic game loved it. immediately started new game+ when finished. will be nice to try on PS5
Looking forward to see what PS5 does with TLG without a patch.
Days Gone has a lot of potential for ps5 improvements depending on how far they go with it. Obviously 60 fps by itself would be a game changer, and I hope that's the case.
In addition to that, the game suffers from some pretty obvious pop in and LOD stuff that could be improved. In addition, zombie gore and blood is very inconsistent. At times, when zombies are isolated, we get great hit feedback and effects and gore, but most of the time, particularly when they're in groups, all of that is completely missing -- presumably due to limited CPU resources. I don't really *expect* this, but the days gone devs have gone above and beyond before so I do have a fantasy in my mind that they rework some of this so that the gore and hit reactions are more consistent across the board. In a game where shooting zombies is a big focus it'd be nice if it was implemented more evenly.

I don't know if anyone knows but I wonder, if this update really includes PS5 upgrades will they only be activated when the console launches or they are already active just with no way for us to know?
New Game loads take about 26s.
Load of my full complete save takes 1:07.
So not quite super loads. 🙄
Edit: I loaded the new game after already loading my save file and it somehow messed with the time taken. Normal New Game loads are the same as a load of my complete save.

Days Gone is a really good game and it's already a looker on PS4 Pro, can't wait to see what those PS5 updates have in store.
It was already greatly reduced in January (62GB to 38.7GB). This patch now reduces it further by 800MB (38.62GB).
What version is that you have installed? Seems like you're a few patches behind.
yes I noticed your post after posting mine, but yeah it seems I'm on a much older version from last year
My patience has been rewarded! Excited to try this out. Haven't played a zombie game since Dying Light
What is interesting is that patch 1.60 actually loads faster then patch 1.61 in respect to first load, as shown in the video at @7:11. The latest patch doesn't seem to improve load times either as shown @12:23:
Also the file is size is marginally smaller with the update.

Was there always an initial load before the game gets to the main menu, just wondering if thats new.
These are the load time comparison from the same save on my PS4 Pro
External USB HDD 39 seconds
Internal SSD 25/21seconds... here I loaded the save twice and it was slightly faster

This was such a great game already, can't wait for the new improvements

I got distracted by some other games and put this down about half way through. Was starting to enjoy my time with jt so looking forward to finishing it on PS5
I made some tests here, my 2 first videos show that it takes longer after the new update
1.70 takes 10-11 seconds more than 1.61
Ps4 amateur + game on external HDD launched after full reset
