Sony's biggest exclusive announced for the year by the long dormant Sony bend(console development wise) is days gone. The open world,Survival rpg focused zombie apocalypse took to the stage at e3 and has gotten big buzz since. It hits all the right notes with the casual and core crowd and it stands out from the tlou enough to compete on its own with its dynamic weather, dynamic world events such as freaker hordes; ripper ambushes and enough side content to keep you playing for hours such as freaker nests, rip camps, bounties and more

Enemy variety to keep you on your toes such as the freakers, the newts(adolescence when infected) screamers, rager bear, infected cougar; infected wolves, infected crows, humans and of course the horde

Graphically it's a beautiful game set in Oregon and we all know graphics catches the wandering eyes of gamers easily

Most importantly the hook and the biggest eye catcher among reaction videos obviously the horde this cluster of freakers that can come charging at you each one being an actual individual is both frightening and exhilarating . These hordes can grow to a size of 300 at minimum from what we've seen and bend has described those as "baby" hordes

And no don't drive into them

Days gone has caught the attention of many amassing over 10 mil views from its debut gameplay demo of over 10 minutes


Also holds the title for gameinformers most highest viewed video on YouTube yes even over Spider-Man with a hour long gameplay video gathering 3.2 mil


Also ranked #13 in reset era most anticipated list.

Needless to say bend crafted a hit on their hands can't wait to see how it takes off like horizon did two years prior.

HELL YEAH
ResetEra is going to learn to respect the name Days Gone
80+ Meta, top 10 on NPD for 2019, bigger than RE2, Sekiro, and DMCV

I agree. This is one of my most hyped for games this year. I really feel like playing a game like this. It will review well and sell even better. It will be the Let's Go of this year, and y'all will learn to respect it.

Wish it had a multiplayer component otherwise I would have bought this, so for now my money's going to that upcoming World War Z game looks fun and actually well made very L4D like too

I don't think so tbh it looks underwhelming in every way but we'll see. I'll give it a go when it releases though.

yea it looks like something that could get really big. i didnt realize how big however, until i got an article about it in a freaking local sports website, not games, sports. that tells me that the casual readers are super interested in this game, and, it looks really good. i am still worried about some aspects of the gameplay but as we will get closer to release and know better i am sure those aspects will be clarified.

This will probably do well. I'm a PS only owner but it's not grabbing me yet. Hopefully when people are playing it on twitch it makes me want it.

If it's not super heavy narrative and focuses more on the survival mechanics and the hordes and such I am very interested. Excited to hear the reviews.

I made a bet in my friend circle that Days Gone would be another great PS4 exclusive, despite them all insisting otherwise.

People think to underestimate it, just because it's a zombie game. I think it's gonna be a hitter, though. First major Sony exclusive of 2019, and with them not doing E3 this year, you bet your butt they're gonna do everything they can to make sure the exclusives they release this year are of a very high quality.

Myself, I'm optimistic towards it. If done right, this has the potential to be a super intense, single-player Left 4 Dead style game. It does well to convey the danger of the zombie horde, as opposed to peppering maybe 3-4 mindless drones in a small play area, or just going for numbers without substance, ala Dead Rising.

Good points. I think it's going to surprise a lot of people how well it does, both critically and commercially. It's hitting all the right notes for me.

I'm waiting on word of mouth before buying it but I genuinely hope it turns out good. A big open world single player zombie game sounds damn interesting.

I don't think the game will review that well tbh, it will be top 70s/low 80s, but I am confident it will sell enough to grant a sequel.

Looks like a openworld checklist to me, even more than Horizon was. Almost nearing the typical Ubisoft game.
That said, I think it'll do 'ok'. Haven't seen much marketing though.

Sales wise no doubt, this thing is gonna sell. On the quality I hope you're right but Days Gone and Concrete Genie are the first Sony games in a while I just can't get hyped about. DG looks generic af and CG just doesn't appeal to me on a conceptual level.

Days Gone looks like a multiplat, honestly. Nothing against multiplats, obviously, but it's just what it feels like.

It really could be. Depends on how it reviews, how Sony supports and markets it and also how gamers get on with it.


Or it could be the next Order 1886 game...

I think it's one of the Sony franchises that has the most potential to reach the mainstream, behind Spiderman obviously, and TLOU. Btw that's not to say it looks amazing, just that it has a bunch of elements that make it highly marketable.

But potential isn't much by itself. I think it'll be a good game but it's going to need to be more than that to become a long-term thing.

I'm personally not interested in it, but this has all the makings of a sleeper hit indeed.

I love open world games so I'm definitely getting this.

Bend has had a lot of extra time to polish so I expect this to outperform and impress more than recent impressions would lead you to believe.

It just looks super uninteresting and generic. I have no doubt it will sell and get atleast 80+ on meta but it will not stack up in comparison to everything else coming this year, its not even going to be the best zombie or post-apocalypse game.

ERA is terrible at judging the popularity of games. If people really think a AAA post apocolytpic open world Zombie game with the backing of a top tier developer/publisher won't sell well, then they're clearly delusional and don't know what the market wants.

It also has one of the highest view counts for their Game Informer coverage videos on youtube.

Two of the top 5 videos on Game Informer are for Days Gone.

Great thread and I agree.

It'll do fine - probably the equivalent of Detroit Become Human or Infamous Second Son, in both sales and review scores.

I'm not expecting Spider-Man sales numbers though. I was lucky enough to see an exclusive dev walkthrough a few months back, and it looked really rough. I'm hoping the delay has fixed and cleaned up a few things.

I have yet to see a single good showing of the game. It looks extremely generic both in terms of gameplay and setting.
I'm sure it'll sell well though, people don't seem to care much about that.
