GR-UK writes: We caught up with game designer Maciej Binkowski and learnt more about Dying Light - a more mobile, mature and vertical experience than the studio's previous offering, Dead Island.
"We'd like the player to experience an adventure of going from this very simple person and becoming something better in the process, when all the challenges that the world will throw at you will definitely change you as a person," the game designer explained, before going on to give us a little insight into the game's RPG features.
"We have a number of RPG elements... There's plenty of active abilities for you to unlock, and we want each one of them to be a game changer."
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.
Still waiting for a release date ...hopefully before the peak season as I won't have enough time to enjoy the other games then :S
Same here. I've had this game on pre-order since March. This is definitely on my must have list for the year.
Boring
Finally someone talking about the game again!
I thought it was scheduled for this month, but we haven't heard much for a while. I hope it comes out soon!
