In Dying Light, how the game plays will differ dramatically depending on the day/night cycle. In the daytime, focus will be placed on exploring the city in search of supplies. The undead are still dangerous during the day, but can be properly managed through combat or fleeing. When the sun goes down, however, the zombie threat increases as their numbers grow.
In an exclusive interview with Examiner.com, Techland Producer Tymon Smektala took the time to discuss many of the different elements which the developer is combining to create Dying Light. Smektala also spoke about developing the game across two console generations and what gamers can expect to be added to the Xbox One and PS4 versions.
It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?
Wtf did this edition come with ? A real helicopter and a real zombie virus ?
For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.
LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’
Techland is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dying Light with updates and events for both games. The new The Beast game comes out soon.
It got a lot of shit from fans more not being as scary at night on release. I was in that boat. But once I gave it a fair shot I really loved it. The movement was so much more expressive to me. I enjoyed the story too.... for the most part. Was my game of the year when it came out. With all the updates for darker nights and all that, it's even better. I feel almost exactly the same about stalker 2 right now. The erojank games are scratching my itch.
The Steam Winter Sale is now live, and here are the best Steam Deck games you can get for under $5 right now.
Really looking forward to this game.
i relly hope they can pull off the horror element, too many zombie games these days feel like target practice.
And I'll bet yo ass it will be Dead Island with parkour and nothing else
Any release date?
I played this at the Australian EB Game's EXPO. It plays exactly how it looks on the demo.
Probably one of my favourite games from the show.
