via Gamezone: No one plays a game solely because it's pretty. We may start a game for that reason, but if everything else sucks, the odds of anyone seeing the credits roll are slim to none.
Audio is different. No, I'm not trying to imply that gamers are willing to suffer through garbage gameplay for a mesmerizing score, or endure a lackluster experience for realistic engine revs. But can triple-A sound improve the quality of a game that falls between "excellent" and "slightly above average"? You better believe it. I don't need to give examples – just think about the games you love. The proof is in their sound.
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?
