Days Gone ends on a straight setup for a sequel and has sold really good. Not even a question what will happen.

Which would you want most from Bend Studio: Days Gone 2 or a new Syphon Filter?
- Thread starter Gunman
- Start date
Syphon Filter Logans Shadow also ends in cliffhanger that I assume will get resolved in a sequel when I first beat it...
Nope, not really. Which is why I rather have a new SF instead of Days gone.
Splinter cell has been teased for AGES, yet we get nothing but cameos or Easter eggs. Kojima won't make another MGS and Konami laughs at AAA video games.
I think xbox is rumoured to get a new perfect dark. Honestly can't think of anything else.
I want a PS5 exclusive Days Gone 2. Nothing held back or compromised to make it work with the PS4 as well. I really loved Days Gone and would love to see what they're able to accomplish with massively better hardware. Honestly I'm excited to see whatever they do next.
Presumably, more zombies and bigger hordes. Anyway, I think Days Gone have a problem balancing their game between stealth survival gameplay where you sneaking around clearing bandit camp with limited resources etc with horde gameplay where you need lots of ammo to fight hordes.
The end result is the main game is mostly about stealth survival type of game and left the hordes mostly for end/post optional game content. Which is just weird considering the hordes gameplay are supposed to be their main game pitch.
I like Days Gone, even more than Horizon, and Days Gone 2 is obvious, fortunately.
But I really don't mind if they return to Syphon Filter, and it doesn't need to be Gabe Logan again.
Unless they're considering a remake... 🤷

Let another dev take Syphon Filter. Bend killed Gabe off for a reason and that should be respected.
So to answer the question: Give me both.

Days Gone 2 easily, the first one was excellent and my GOTY. Just imagine what they'll be able to achieve with more power and the blazing fast SSD, them hordes will be glorious!
After that I wouldn't mind a new Syphon Filter or something entirely different, but DG absolutely deserves and needs a sequel.

I want Days Gone 2 and I want it to be the last Days Gone. I feel like a tight, two-part story would be awesome. I mean the "secret" ending of Days Gone is one of the best cliffhangers in every PS4 exclusive lol.
I don't think I want Bend to go back to Syphon Filter ever, and I don't think that they want to either. I'd give Bend a new IP or let them pick any IP from the vast Sony library, Syphon Filter is a project I'd rather give someone like Bluepoint, or a third party dev or even someone like Guerilla at this point.

A Days Gone Prequel that's a Syphon Filter game basically tying both games and universes together.
Loved loved loved Days Gone. The bestest kind of swimming in sevens.
But I'd be down for a new, modern take on Syphon Filter. We need more spy games asap since Sam Fisher's solo adventure is still MIA.

The answer is DG2 because that franchise (I guess we can call it one now) has the best elevator pitch in gaming:
"Walking Dead but bikers"
It's a shame but also a great achievement that Days Gone was done by so few people.
We probably will never find out how much the budget was compared to other Sony exclusives but it's not hard to imagine that corners had to be cut.
For Days Gone 2 I want them to do it the RDR2 way. Keep Deacon, Boozer and them in the universe but use a different main character.
After DG1 was set in a rural landscape the dream setting for DG2 would be Portland. An urban environment with some suburbs sprinkled it. Loved the open world section in TLOUII, would love to tear through a city like that with Deacon.

Days Gone 2 by a long shot. Not that Syphon Filter is bad, but it had its time in the sun. Bend tackled that series through multiple entries.
Days Gone is, in my opinion, a sleeper hit. It's a damn good game, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the story, even after its Ho hum start. I was genuinely invested in the narrative, and it just kept upping the ante and building up, and had a really, really intriguing ending that has me really excited for a sequel.
On the gameplay front, I loved it as well. The bike is fun to drive, the weapons you get are fun to use, and battling hordes of zombies is both terrifying and exciting. I'm glad it still performed well commercially, because I imagine the PS5 sequel is going to surprise a lot of people. For a new IP, it's core foundations are damn solid. A sequel expanding on those strengths is going to be excellent, I think.

With Days Gone, I really feel like it was a good first effort for Bend Studio after a long period in which they made handheld games only. If they can do something similar to AC1 -> AC2 or U1 -> U2 (easier said then done, sure) then Days Gone 2 might very well be something special. Because I felt it had a lot of potential.
Syphon Filter. But Gabe needs to be able to crawl. MGS shouldn't be the only stealth game where you can go prone.
And AC3 inspired melee combat.

Days Gone 2. For me it was one of the most enjoyable games I've played this generation. Days Gone was their first attempt at creating a AAA home console title. Given what they've learnt through the experience and with the increased power of the next-gen machines I can't wait to see where they go with the sequel.
Personally, though I'd rather they were given the chance to create a new IP, if Sony wanted another Syphon Filter title I'd get Bluepoint on the case.

I'll be honest here: Syphon Filter reboot.
But Days Gone has been highly successful for them so I'd say it's unrealistic to expect something else than Days Gone 2.

We gotta see how many freakers they can pack into the hordes on PS5. So Days Gone.
Bet they could do lots of cool things with the foundation now with better tech, like add cities. And have a more complex and organic ecology. There's a lot of potential.
But I do want to see the Syphon Filter taser animation in 4K.

Days Gone 2.
Days gone is one of the best open world games i've played/still playing.
Deacon is an amazing protagonist and the progression is great.
Looking forward what they'll do with a sequel

Days Gone 2 if it has co-op.
Or a Syphon Filter Omega Strain follow up. Basically PS2's version of The Division...

Give them another crack at it. I think that the story was a bit hit and miss but had some real highs with good characters. Same with the gameplay and world design, excellent in places, poor in other areas. A "lessons learned" sequel has real potential if they can add to it in some interesting ways (like Assassin's Creed or Uncharted did).
I think the sales figures for Days Gone has afforded them that at least. While the reviewers weren't in love with it overall, the game had heart and I think thats been reflected in the opinions I see from those I know who have played it.
Plus the PS5 CPU whould allow crazy amounts of on-screen zombies in hordes.
Then do a Syphon Filter!
