Look
.I'm very skeptic and I found it rather uninteresting/underwhelming since the very first showing, but we'll see.
This the place that predictions lead to believing destiny 1&2 would bomb, horizon would flop and gg never made a good game, every single Ubisoft title this gen would bomb, yea no...never take this community seriously for this stuff
the only hard evidence you have is the 10M views it got for the first gameplay demo, but you neglect to mention how the second demo at E3 2017 had a massive drop to the 2M view range.
Such snark and cynicism in this thread. I can't really say I'm surprised but it's still disheartening to see nonetheless. Some of y'all need to understand that it's perfectly fine if you don't post in a thread if you have nothing of actual worth/value to contribute. No need to seek to discredit the enthusiasm people show for a video game.
I sure hope so cause I got some ppl to call out than hell they in here now
Well got my own catering business so I hope I'm good at it ;)I do work professionally in digital marketing, and yes that OP definitely sounds like a marketer trying to sell me a game.
The use of 'gamers will enjoy this' 'to keep you playing for hours' 'it has caught the attention of many' is all marketing talk.
If you aren't in the field, consider it. Because it looks like you have a natural knack for it.
But..it has hordes!I'm still so disappointed that this is what Bend is putting out after years and years of silence. I was expecting an actual horror game, I got meandering open worlds. I would've been happy with a new Syphon Filter, I got generic beard guys and zombies. Literally nothing about the gameplay looks appealing or fun, it just looks like a complete and utter waste of time and energy.
I expected so much more out of Bend than behind-the-curve trend chasing. "Dead Rising, minus the fun parts" is just not a good look.

that's a fair point, but even then that's a pretty massive drop. both god of war and spider-man, as shown in your chart, are well above that, and those would go on to have incredibly good reviews. whereas days gone seems to be previewing pretty poorly from the few impressions i've seen/heard/read. which is why i personally am thinking the game will probably do decent--it's a first party ps4 game with relatively good youtube views--but maybe not on the level of horizon and the other sony exclusives.All the metrics for Sony's trailers at E3 2017 is not reflective of the actual interest level, as Sony fucked up in uploading the official videos late, and a lot of alternate channels who posted theirs up earlier got a ton of views.
Back in 2017, when I did the metrics assessment for the top performing trailers at E3 2017 for the first week, Days Gone's aggregrate numbers were around 6 million, which was a 40% drop.
Franchise? I hope not. I'd love for Bend to return to Syphon Filter at some point.
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.
Screenshot I shamelessly stole
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.

Well, reviews aren't the end all be all either. Ghost Wildlands is at a 70 meta (PS4 version with the most reviews) and it was one of the best selling games of 2017.Number of views on GIs YT channel isnt going to indicate how well the game is reviewed or received tho, it just tells that ppl click on Sonys first party games on that channel, also someone can click a video and not like it or intend to buy it

You've seen the latest stream highlighting some beta created levels?Game will review around 75-80 MC but will sell way more then Dreams thats gonna do 95+ MC.
People want zombies and shooting.
:(
So many zombie games.
I've a feeling it's gonna review like poo

It is more about if it can align with an audience. The very high YT views partially indicate that it probably will.
I know :) i'm in the beta and love it so much. But GOTY and amazing reviews doesnt mean sales sadly.You've seen the latest stream highlighting some beta created levels?
If that's any indication, it's GoTY material and possibly a game changer.
That first person level where you open the window and the sky slowly morphs into Van Gogh's starry night or that clever precision puzzle game where you need to jump on floor tiles in a way that matches patterns on the wall or that plarformer where you have full control over time and so you constantly remix the level as you play... and that's just 2 weeks worth.
I mean holy shit what will people make given more time?
I imagine the majority of posts are either pure fanboying or sarky posts. No one with an ounce of brain power could genuinely believe it could fail at least commercially - you're playing as Ygritte in an open-world game complete with bow and Dinosaur mounts. It couldn't be more by the numbers or culturally relevant.It's funny going back to those Horizon threads with people saying it was gonna be the most disappointing game of 2017. I don't know how this will perform critically, but Gaf/Era is clearly way off the mark sometimes.
I'm very skeptic and I found it rather uninteresting/underwhelming since the very first showing, but we'll see.
days gone looks a lot more fun than CD3 IMO, CrackDown 3 looks like a janky mess and i really dislike the direction the multiplayer (where the basic pitch sounded amazing, and instead turned bad because of auto aim).
and they were absolutely wrong about Horizon, spiderman and every other upcoming PS4 game since 2016 so who knows.
