Works both ways. If they were high on it, I'd be more relieved as well.
The Eurogamer one told it how it was and they don't seem like an outlet that is negative just to be negative.
Like I said, I hope days gone can work on its problems.

I couldn't read it, lol. How was I supposed to comment on the preview. That's why it was the only one from that list I would trust.
Then really, what is the point of all this marketing at the minute?
The Eurogamer preview is something.
What a weird way to categorise a game.
That says more about the writer's memory than anything else.
Just the type of generalization I like to see.

The preview video from PS Access turns me more on than the Game Informer videos.
It's actually good, they'll be able to get all the press and opinions and work on them, 1 year is a looooong time, remember Horizon didn't come together until 3 months before launch date.
This is already in much better shape.
Because as a marketing tool, it's working?
The days gone footage is the highest viewed video on The Game Informer YouTube channel.
so this thread is going to be a mix of people only focusing on the eurogamer article and others getting overly defensive of the eurogamer article isnt it
personally im looking forward to the game. yes it has some issues right now, but its like 9 months out. they have time to polish it up. theyre a small team and this is their first big console game in over a decade, im not expecting horizon levels of polish in an open world, nor am i expecting goty material. it looks like a fun game thats doing some interesting things. if it still looks rough once the batch of previews close to release hits then its time to be worried but for now, im not really. it is strange that they chose to present it in a rough state though

Days Gone has some of the most forgettable characters i have seen lately.
In GI footage we saw dude biker 2 (forgot his name) getting tortured. Do you have option to let him get killed or that was scripted scene and you need to save him to be around you through the game?

Really?
Perhaps you should look at Oli's previous reviews. He recently gave SotC an 'Essential' and Lost Legacy 'Recommended'.

So, I guess the other thread died.
What exactly was the issue with the Eurogamer coverage? "It's in Alpha" and? The whole point of the development right now is to fix and polish the game, they need negative feedback in order to know something is an issue. Take the the 20xp popping above the zombies head when you kill them. Bend is currently debating whether or not to keep it, if it bothers you it is in the best interest of yourself and the game to express your negative feelings. That way they know to remove it. Eruogamer is doing their job properly.

Ouch, finally getting round to reading the Eurogamer piece. Starts with a savage opener! As much as some posters are painting that preview as 'of course it's janky, it's in alpha', none of the criticisms in this paragraph sound like they're about performance/early state of the game. It just sounds like the writer thought it wasn't fun.
Right-click, Translate To English.
If you're on mobile, though, I dunno how to do that, haha
A syphon filter made in 2019 would have been fucking sick. With all our gaming advances. And make it a reboot.
Would still have the same running animation though lol.
Deacon on the bike = I like the game
Horde = This thread
Someone add that to this gif lol.
"I played it four days ago and can't remember what Deacon looks like."
Lol. Days Gone looks like the quintessential generic open world zombie game. No offense to the team, but it just doesn't set itself apart.
Such a shame Sony put money on this project and not on something that is visually and thematically different than their other titles.
How many are like me who feel like this is the first Sony game they just can't care about? I don't even care about the jank in the current demo, it just doesn't excite me on a conceptual level when there's TLOU.

Sorry, my bad.
The old thread wasn't being properly updated with new previews as it wasn't originally meant as a general preview thread.
Loudninja made a new preview thread to remedy this - I tried to merge the old one into it to preserve the comments so far, but the thread merge did not have the desired effect, so I instead rebooted this thread and locked the old one.
The old thread and its comments are still there - it's just locked now ( https://www.resetera.com/threads/days-gone-preview-thread.43864/ ).
I can already envision people making videos trying to round up as large of a horde as they can, then lead them through the woods or traps just to see what happens.
Don't worry. Days gone has brought the running animation into the future.

wow they not even try to hide it anymore.
Remember euro\usgamer gave horizon zero dawn review
not recommend\ 5/10 score.
Best to take not serious regarding Sony exclusives.
Looks great.
A gif from that killing scene at 4:52 would be nice.
Very real how the body is sacking down.
Yeah, seems strange for previews to show up when the game has 1 year development.
I consider myself a big PlayStation gamer (actually I pretty much only game on PS4 this gen) but it always annoys me to see some PlayStation fans so eagerly to defend anything that's first party or exclusive, like they absolutely can't stand the negative previews.
Everything Eurogamer said you either ignore or make fun of, only because they didn't enjoy the game as much as you think you would? Since we all agree that these previews are only for the alpha and not the final game, why do you care anyway? It's not like they are criticizing the final game, if anything they might just encourage the developers to make the game even better. It's just pathetic to see people calling Eurogamer ''fanboy hater'' as if they literally can't accept different voices.
''How dare you insult our new born exclusive of the glory PlayStation empire? Your opinion is laughable and your criticism is invalid, begone haters!''
Calm down people, it's okay that others disagrees with you, especially when they played the demo and you haven't.
EDIT: Personally I'm looking forward to play the game, not a fan of zombies but a zombie open world game with a kick ass bike sounds like a fun time, don't have high expectations for it though.

Maybe these preview obligations were made before the delay was set in stone? I can't imagine them wanting to show the game in this state this soon unless there was some kind of pre-delay obligation.
I like the hit detection.
That is very cool. I don't recall many games doing this. Only Dead Space comes to mind.
Don't say anything against Eurogamer in this site. Some people get really upset over it. Lol.
God of War is amazing tho? I don't get this? A lot of people argued against edge 8.
Either way, footage definitely looks much better now, PS access stuff looks like an actual fun game.
I like the hit detection.
Wow, these are the things what I missed in the GI trailers.
Yeah I dig those hit reactionsI like the hit detection.
ftfy
Indeed,but I guess the hype was dying so they had to warm up the interest or else nobody would care in 1 year
Eurogamer and easy allies are amongst the only reviewers you find reliable. You said the Eurogamer was the only one to give a "realistic" review of god of war, is that because they agreed with your sentiment on the game? Because the easy allies review of god of war was glowing
Almost as upset as those Days Gone defenders who haven't even played a single minute of Days Gone.
Pretty sure it was their first actual 10/10 ever even (not 5/5 = 10/10).
