Dying Light Developers Interview Sheds New Light On The Evolution Of Horror Gaming

As part of the next issue of their magazine, Skewed and Reviewed have posted selctions of their interview with the development team for Dying Light. The survival zombie action game is shaping up to be one of the biggest titles of 2014.

I have played it a couple of times and I liked what I saw. It is fast, intense, and brutal. The detail level of the maps was great and I am curious to see how the night combat will play out as I was only able to play two day scenarious at PAX Prime last Sep.

I liked how I could hack with a weapon or take a power hack and do some serious damage, but the speed was the biggest change from others like it.

How was it with bugs and other issues ? and one more question. When do you Think it will come out ?

Garethvk4154d ago

What we played was controlled and limited but it did not seem to have any big issues. I had thought it was coming in April but based on the interview and some other things I am wondering if Fall is more likely. I could see them doing some polish and such to show it off at E3 in June and launching soon after.

Meltic4154d ago

Cool thx for the info. You answer better than Tymon does. Ive asked him a few question about the game but he rather not tell me much. My game store is keep telling me that april is more likely a release date. But Watch dogs is coming then meaby so i Think dying light will prob wait until Watch dogs announce a date.

Garethvk4154d ago

You are welcome. Mind you I am just guessing but it is not unheard of for games to change release dates as you know. When I worked for some publishers years ago it all depened on many factors. I know one publisher who did not care that the game did not work properly and had issues, they said it was past time and over budget and shipped a game that nobody in QA would even sign off on as stable.

Others have said ok, we are going to wait and keep polishing it to make the best possible game we have as the extra time and money are worth it.

Warner Bros is the big money behind it so I think they will be smart and wait as the last Batman game while good, did not get the response they had hoped and I think they see Dying Light as a potential big franchise and want to take their time.

Now of course developers will always wish they had more time and money as they always can find new things to include but so far so good from what I have seen and played.

Nobody bought it for an obvious reason.

Wtf did this edition come with ? A real helicopter and a real zombie virus ?

Vithar127d ago

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!’

I finally beat DL2 this past weekend. I’ll pick up the Beast for sure.

got_dam150d ago

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.
