I really like the look of the bike handling, looks weighty and satisfying to control. Which is good considering you'll be on it a lot, it might sound daft but I bet you build a strong bond with it over time.

rdgneoz31923d ago

From previous videos, you basically start off with a top of the line bike to show you what it can be like. Then it gets pillaged for parts and you have to start over from scratch. So you'll be bonding with that baby with all the time and effort you put into restoring her back to her former glory.

CrimsonWing691923d ago

I must be in the minority but this game looks incredible. I’m never going to understand why it barely gets talked about. To me, im way more excited for this then other big hitters like Anthem or The Division, but that’s just me.

LiViNgLeGaCY1923d ago

Nah, I don't think you are. This game looks amazing, and I know a lot of other people that think the same. So excited for this game.

rdgneoz31923d ago

It doesn't get much discussion because they delayed it by a month or 2 to avoid to surge of huge name games coming out. Since then, they haven't really released much info since it would get lost in the sea of info from the games coming out soon. Even Anthem waited a bit till after Christmas till it started dropping info and division just started doing that now.

ArchangelMike1923d ago

I do hope we get more info as it gets closer to release. I know they said this is the first of three trailers, so I hope we get more deep dives in those. The only thing is I don't think one trailer a month will be enough to really rasie it's media profile, but then again it is a Sony Exclusive and it will be releasing in a relatively quiet month.

rdgneoz31923d ago

They'll most likely ramp things up by the end of Feb and do a lot in March up till release. Drop a lot of info now and it'll just get overshadowed by all the big name releases coming out in the next 2 months.

ArchangelMike1923d ago

I'm with you on this one, I'm really excited for this game. It was the media that immediatyely started throwing stones after it's reveal with comments like "oh it's just another zombie game" and "It's a TLOU clone" etc etc".

But I agree that I''m much more excited for this game than the likes of Far Cry New Dawn, Anthem and Destiny. I'd also pick Days Gone in a fight over Metro or Crackdown 3.

I can't wait.

nucky641923d ago

i'm equally excited for metro: exodus and days gone - both look like great adventures.

nucky641923d ago

looks like great fun to me too - i have no clue why some people are wanting to hate on it or give it backhanded complements - i'm there day1!

Chevalier1922d ago

Literally its even in the title of the game! DAYs gONE.

Sevir1922d ago

No, early gameplay footage was concerning... The game looks fantastic now.

Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.

Chocoburger73d ago

I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.

The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.

shinoff218373d ago

I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.

Knightofelemia73d ago

Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.

Days Gone | Trailer [GOG]

Days Gone is now available DRM-free from GOG

shinoff2183181d ago

Such a fun ass game. I enjoyed it alot more then I thought I would.

ravens52181d ago

We need a part 2 doesn't even have to be Deacon. But I had no problems with him either, he was a dude on a mission.

Cacabunga181d ago

My second favorite PS4 game after RDR2 hands down

neutralgamer1992181d ago

I think with Jim Ryan gone we may get a sequel down the road. It has become a cult classic

andy85181d ago

This was so fun I love the hoards. People need to stick with it because the start is very slow

MrDead181d ago

Has a really good PC port too, I wasn't expecting much from this game but I had a blast. Wish it had a part 2 as the story was building well.

jznrpg181d ago

It does take some time to get some weapons ,skills and a few bike upgrades up to feel like you got a rhythm going but then it really starts to click and the game is a lot of fun

shinoff2183181d ago

I was sad when it ended. I wanted more. I'd have to look but I think that was one of the few games I platinumed to. I only got like 4. I don't go out of my way for trophies though

Abnor_Mal181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

@shinoff same I only have 4 plats and one is Days Gone, and I also don’t go out of my way for platinums.

Was a very fun game and wish there would be a sequel, maybe one day they will come back to it with a different pitch that Sony will approve.

They probably rejected it he sequel because it might not have been the direction they were going for with gaas games and the like.

jznrpg180d ago

@shinioff I had the same feeling when I got the platinum. I need more. Hopefully they make a sequel and leave multiplayer out of it unlike the last pitch for Days Gone2.

got_dam181d ago

The critical reception had Sony relegate Bend to a support studio. Thank God the fans spoke up and Sony reversed that decision.

jznrpg73d ago

They have been working on a game for some time now and have said so

Knightofelemia181d ago

One of my favorite Sony titles too bad there is no sequel.

4 PlayStation exclusives, rdr2 and gta 4 and 5. Not one xbox made game.

zachyBROosevelt290d ago

What Xbox game should be on there?

Flewid638290d ago

Quantum Break and Ryse Son of Rome. They're the only 2 Microsoft games I ever enjoyed, probably because they felt like PlayStation games.

MIDGETonSTILTS17290d ago

What Xbox games are missing?

What Xbox games would even be candidates? The OG Xbox version of Chaos Theory?

SullysCigar290d ago

None - I took that as his point. There aren't any xbox games that are contenders for this list.

Abnor_Mal290d ago

“Not one ‘Xbox made’ game.”

“Made”

Yet people are throwing out games made by third parties that are exclusive to Xbox, which isn’t what the question asked.

MIDGETonSTILTS17289d ago

A simulator that was built for PC first hardly counts….

MGS2’s ice cubes deserved a mention.

ClayRules2012290d ago

Seriously, they melt🤯 that game, ahead of its time.

andy85290d ago

Blew my mind back in 2001 in the bar area, each bottle smashing individuallly when you shot them too. Never seen that before

ClayRules2012290d ago

I’m so glad to see Days Gone get some recognition, because it absolutely is a BEAUTIFUL looking game, and in other times, downright incredible, with its snow forming on the ground over time and the storms coming in with the winds blowing the trees is a sight to behold! I remember at one point I was using photo mode and snapped this photo (I swear) using the filters and other effects the shot I captured looked so realistic, it was remarkable. It was of a leaf 🍁 (others were around it) by this train track and the area was wet from the rain. I captured many others, which turned out fantastic. I’m sure ya’ll captured some fantastic one’s yourselves. Oh, and the horde of freakers 500 coming at you is insane and a sight to see. Wish we could get a sequel, Days Gone deserves it!

Uncharted 4 - Man, that game still blows me away still to this day. ND really captured the adventures of Nate, Elena, Sully and Sam in a way that was not just so stunning to look at, but in a way that EVERY new location, be it in a new area of this specific city, town, jungle, mountain range etc all felt truly living, with life. One of my favorite locations was the old lady’s mansion, such a simple mission, yet so fun, intriguing, sad, and intense all at the same time. And the richness of detail packed into the objects in that mansion is superbly detailed. Anyone notice the couch pillow in Nate and Elena’s house actually mushes down when she rests her arm on it when she’s talking to Nate about him taking the job? ND delivered with best in class character models, yet again. Dirt in nails, I mean🤯 I remember capturing a photo of Nate hanging from a ledge in Madagascar and I snapped a pic, zoomed in, and dirt was in his finger nails, that’s just insane detail. Add on the chest hair blowing in the wind lol.

RDR2 - Masterpiece of a game! In visual details, how this game still looks better than games nowadays (and they don’t even have to be open world) is something else. Fantastic character models, hair/facial hair that grows in real-time, awesome cloud system, NPC characters in the world actually eat their food, cut up their 🥩 among other new details being discovered these almost 5 years later, it’s amazing. Horse testicles. Has me intrigued to see how GTA6 will deliver in comparison to dynamic events etc.

The Last of Us Part 2 - ND took PS4 to its limits with this game. The level of detail in these models is striking, again, best in class, along with the environments. Foliage is phenomenal and doesn’t look like that “cheap” looking video game grass. It’s such a step up in quality. The gore is a visual ummm, I don’t want to say delight, but showcase for depicting how unforgiving that world is. The level of pain, fear and loss on the faces of NPC’s when you take their life in this game as Ellie or Abbie, man I always felt bad about that. And the dogs too… until the dogs came at me, than all bets were off lol. But again, there’s many more details that players who’ve not played this game must see for themselves to appreciate. Motion matching technology to me tho has to be the most impressive thing above even the visuals. Although both compliment each other, playing the game with the tech and the way everything flows so fluidly and smoothly is like playing an E3 demo, each play through feels just that damn good.

Rimeskeem290d ago

Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone. The game was great, just maybe not the same quality as other PS exclusives. They are on the right track though, for their first new IP since 1999 I would say they should be given a chance to polish in a sequel. I can only imagine the madness of hoards they can make with the PS5. Maybe add a coop mode so that friends can be like a biker gang together and take out giant hordes with each other.

Just seems stupid to not give the IP another chance given it (supposedly) sold extremely well.

jznrpg290d ago

As long as it stays single player I hope they do make a sequel. I really enjoyed Days Gone and It would be a guaranteed purchase from me. I have the collectors unopened for the first game.

StormSnooper290d ago

I wouldn't mind a multiplayer Days Gone. It would have some intense hoard fights for sure! This is from a mainly single player gamer. I would want a single player Days Gone II, with a solid multiplayer mode.

Rimeskeem290d ago

I'm not saying to make it massively multiplayer or PVP, just would be nice to explore and kill hordes with a friend or 2.

1Victor290d ago

@Rimes:”Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone.”

Personally I would prefer a remastered Warhawk, Starhawk or better jet a new game in the series even if it’s a GAS 😢
