Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a Wheelman press event which took place in London yesterday, creative director Simon Woodroffe has revealed that the future for Midway Games' titles is looking very good indeed and it's all because of the publisher's shared technology.
"I just saw a demo of a new Midway game that's in development. I can't tell you too much about it, but they've been on it for three months and it looks as good if not better than Gears 2," said Woodroffe. "This is only possible because of the sharing of technology."
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?

"but they've been on it for three months and it looks as good if not better than Gears 2"
...lol
I'll hold off on the excitment until I see it with my own eyes. To many games are given unrealistic labels prior to public showing.
Oh wow....
Current 2010 lineup
- Secret Midway game
- Cool Midway game?
- Final Fantasy XIII
- Final Fantasy XIII Versus
Keeps getting bigger. Can't forget another Madden game that swears it's so much better then the last one.
Well thats not Hard to Achieve
Come Back Gears when you got a game that looks half as good as Drakes Fortune never mind Metal Gear
Never mind BoTs
AHAHAHAHAHAH
I have no faith in Midway after the travesty that is MK vs DC Universe. They have been on the verge of bankruptcy for years. The last game I remember enjoying from them is Hydro Thunder. That was probably about 10 years ago.
