This new generation brings together all the things we wanted in a video game console. These new systems now have large hard drives, are able to be updated via the internet and, starting with last generation, you can now download games to your console's hard drive (and start playing it before it is done downloading). The problem for most gamers now becomes do you buy a physical copy of the game or do you just download it. There are many pros and cons for each. But for those who love your games lining your shelves, I am sorry to say the days of the physical disc are numbered and this console generation will see that happen.
Days Gone developer appears to be moving well outside its comfort zone in order to join Sony's ongoing foray into live-service games.

This game will determine the fate of Sony Bend. Not looking to good if it's a live service game.
I'm going to say this as someone who really enjoyed Days Gone
Why would you go and create an open world, multiplayer game with live service elements if you're previous game which was only a single player title came out flawed?
Wouldn't you want to create a new single player game to refine and fix your last mistakes to master what you were going for the first time before jumping into uncharted territories with online, multiplayer and live service which is a completely different beast entirely.
I can't be the only who thinks this right?
Just seems like your setting yourself up for failure in my opinion, you're giving yourself and your team bigger challenges to overcome in an already oversaturated market, a market where live service games made by people who are used to online and multiplayer are even struggling themselves.
It might be good, who knows, but at the moment it just seems they are biting off more than they can chew.
I full expect to see this game announced at SGF.
It's definitely not Days Gone 2 it's a new LS IP. Hope it looks and plays good.
Are you also tired of video game reboots, remakes, and reimaginings?

Not with internet caps. Disc must succeed. Because of data caps.
ineviable...bla...bla...bla... no thank you, some guys prefer to keep a game they like in physic form so they can keep them forever, buying digital mean there will be a chnce that you lost that game if your account get ban
Something about having that disc in your hand and the collector's edition goodies........ digital special editions are just ridiculous. I agree with Jamsam360 on the data cap stance as well....data caps and poor connections all over the world should keep that from happening for a while.... will it happen eventually? Probably, but not in the immediate future.
I don't see this happening if the likes of Comcast-TWC enforce data caps and Net Neutrality ceases to exist.
I actually like discs for the value as a collectors item and for the longevity of its functionality. People who have Super Nintendo carts can play those game even decades later. Even if they are alone in the desert or mountains with no reliable internet connection.
