Just to be clear here....this is game Informers most highest viewed video on their channel


This is e3 gameplay


To sit here and think for even a second this gonna bomb because "YOU" aren't interested is absurd

I'm not sure what it is about this game but I don't think I have seen a single thing that is the least bit interesting in any of the trailers. I have it in my Gamefly queue and I will check it out and give it a chance and I hope it does well. I just can't quite put my finger on what is so unappealing about this game for me personally.

Step off this website and this game actually has hype. The one hour video from game Informer is their most watched video. Impressions on gameplay seem positive the story was the worry because there's not much to see yet. Sales wise it's zombies.. it's social metrics have been tracking higher than horizon and it's the next blockbuster from sony...

There's one thing not to like something but sometimes y'all gotta separate that from the bigger picture

People here think ERA = the entire thing community. Most gamer so know, and I m ow alot have no clue what Era is or Neogaf was.

Probably because everything looks so derivative of everthing else mechanically, setting, art design, characters, and enemies.

So if it bombs critically you think it won't sell? I don't buy it. Ppl like zombies. It'll sell some copies
The game would have to be broken or get really terrible reviews for it to not to sell. I meant they have higher expectations sales wise compared to a Double A, zombie survival Microsoft first party exclusive.

I feel like this game will be like GRW scenario all over again where it sells like a hotcake outside the bubble. that game is not even have an OT in ERA if I remember it correctly.

I think general audience love something easy to consume like zombie is a one of good bet that people will get just because of it has zombie in it.

It is pointless to argue with these people.

Some will call it generic (even when we never saw something of huge scale as this gsme or with the whole dynamic weather/horde/ecosystem) or others don't understand why Don't allowed the game to exist when TLOU 2 is coming while ignoring that Sony Bend wanted to make it.

Game will sell tons of copies mark my words.

I said SoD2 got mediocre reviews. Even if days gone gets mediocre reviews it will sell. I don't think that is up for debate. Ppl like zombies. And now SoD2 is AA. LOL, love it!

Yup. Could have terrible reviews and it will still sell. Mediocre reviews didn't stop sod2

SoD2 is Double A, it sold for $30 dollars making it's high placement on NPD all the more impressive since it's by revenue. I agree with you, Days Gone will sell well even if it gets mediocre reviews hence me saying it would have to be broken or get really terrible reviews for it not to sell. There aren't as many Triple A Cinematic Third Person Action Adventure single player games and along with it being a Sony first party exclusive, which is at it's peak in quality, PS4 players are going to get this.

i guess you guys don't see the gaming conferences as that big of a deal if a game informer coverage is as important in your eyes, the reality is that this is the first time sony has treated one of its conference ending exclusives in a vastly different way then it usually does, and whether that's a good thing or a bad thing it's up for debate I guess but it's undeniable that sony's decision to move Day's Gone spotlight away from the conference completely was at the very least a little eyebrow-raising, especially when u consider that this was the only exclusive ever to get a story trailer and a gameplay trailer in the same E3 conference years ago.

I gave you the painfully obvious reason why it wasn't at the conference. And the only person I've seen making a big deal out of Days Gone not being at the conference is you. So it's safe to say that it didn't matter.

And if you really want something similar, look at Ratchet and Clank for PS4. It was announced during the E3 2014 conference, along with the movie, but when E3 2015 rolled around, was it at the conference? No. It got a trailer 5 days before it, and they were showing it on the livestream and giving demos on the showfloor. When the game came out it did very well both critically and commercially.

This game looks like a very polished nice 'been there, done that' kind of game. There have been many like it, especially in the PS3/360 era...or maybe I'm just thinking Red Dead.

None the less, I'm going to imagine that this was Undertakers life in 2000 before he made his way through the curtains at a WWE show.

I'm looking forward to the game, it should be a good start for PS4 in 2019

My guess is it won't be PS4's best 1st party exclusive or be the best selling PS4 exclusive but it should sell a good amount and should be a solid game, probably 80-85 Meta score range.

Sony can market this very well and they need Gameplay Trailer like Rockstar did for RDR/GTA V/RDR2 or like CDPR did with The Witcher 3

A 5-6 min long video which explains what you can do in this open world, which shows us the possibilities on how you can handle situations about humans and zombies, etc...

If they make a video like this, it will hype people and show the game in a good way

I still don't know how this will perform and I don't think anything will surprise me. It's an open world story-driven zombie Sony game, with plenty of traction online (just not here), which should scream big. People insisting it will bomb is strange. But it's the biggest game of Bend's existence, the pressure is on after Horizon/GoW/Spider-Man, and it's releasing on one of the most crowded days in gaming history. Gun to my head, I think it will do fine, not great. Good enough for Bend to get another big project but not successful enough to greenlight a sequel.

Yep, smart marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if TLOU shows up at PSX/VGAs to unveil the MP section and DG shows up at Gamescom continuing the cycle.
Gamescom was last month. Assume you meant Paris Games Week.

Rachet and clank is not a show ending exclusive that got two trailers in the same conference, I would argue that it really wasn't an high caliber exclusive in the first place since it was basically a reimagining of the first game and not a fully fledged new AAA experience, people already knew what to expect from the game by and large because of that, and on top of that it wasn't even a full price game when it realeased so again calling it AAA is stretching it a little, this is really a weak comparison you're making.
Edit: now that I think about it that comparison is actually even more telling: Sony went from giving day's gone the biggest marketing push it ever gave an exclusive to using the same marketing tactics it uses for 40 dollar games.

It'll definitely perform very well. Graphics are nice, Sony does great marketing and State of Decay 2 showed the mass market is still into zombie games.

Yeah, this will sell pretty well. Sons of Anarchy crossed with The Walking Dead? The general public can easily identify what it is and it has a broad appeal. I mean, I was genuinely surprised at how broad the appeal for Ghost Recon was and this is way more accessible.

I'm all for more SP experiences, it's a nice contrast to the shift to GaaS.

zombie exclusive game will sell. to think it will bomb is a bit silly.

whether its a good game is completely a different kettle of fish.

Why does it need to be a show ending exclusive? Because Days Gone closed the show in 2016? Did Days Gone close the show at E3 2017? And if you say that people already knew what to expect from Ratchet and Clank, you think that they don't know what to expect from Days Gone when it was already shown two times at E3?

Again, there is a really simple reason why they haven't shown it at the conference, but I guess you need to have something more interesting.

Yeah, I agree.

An Overview trailer with updated game build, I want to see it.

I hope they will do this with Ghost of Tsushima too...

The Sony of today - doesn't believe in cramming their shows anymore. They'd gladly put Gran Turismo on pre-shows if it doesn't fit their reveal or show agenda.

Fact is - Sony wanted to shine spotlight on the Fantastic Four at E3 this year. And Days Gone already had 2 gameplay reveal segments at the previous E3s.

Is putting Days Gone on GameInformer a 'lesser spot' compared to the E3 stage? Sure. But it's also gotten 2 extended times at two E3 shows already.
