Days Gone has gone gold

Bend Studio: Our team has done it! #DaysGone has gone gold.

Legatus1875d ago (Edited 1875d ago )

Congrats Bend Studio, can't wait for april 26th.
Day[s] [G]one

robtion1875d ago

That team shot kind of looks suspiciously like a horde of zomb...err... freakers.

Dark_Knightmare21874d ago

@Doos zombies are dead the freakers are not. Zombies also don’t eat,sleep,build nests and have trace memories like freakers do.

bluefox7551874d ago

@Doos Both are fictional, so you can't say one is objectively the other. If they wrote in differences from the standard zombie formula, and it seems they have, then no, they wouldn't be "zombies". I do think they should stop worrying about the distinction though, but I also think everyone else should as well. It just seems petty to focus on this.

ziggurcat1875d ago

cool. I'll probably pre-rder this in a week's time.

DrumBeat1875d ago

I'll probably end up doing the same. After all, I do love these types of games.

chris2351875d ago

no matter how hatd you are loving a game. if you are pre ordering games you are part of the problem ;-)

mkis0071874d ago

no problems here. Pre-ordering is free. Collectors editions need to be pre-ordered.

jukins1874d ago

Do tell why preordering is "part of the problem"

Ricegum1874d ago

Another day another negative comment from chris235.

ArchangelMike1874d ago

I pre-order when I want to support a developer and their game. When a developer/publisher is not worth supporting with my money, I dont buy their game at all, not just on "day 1".

bluefox7551874d ago (Edited 1874d ago )

There are a few developers that I will pre-order from, just because I'm absolutely certain that they will release a top tier game (I will be pre-ordering the next God of War game, and Persona 6 for instance), and I think it's worth supporting them. I'm excited about this game, but admittedly I have no experience with the work of the developers, so I will remain caustiously optimistic.

sprinterboy1874d ago

Pre order is great as everything I buy off the store is pre downloaded ready to play @ 12 midnight.
Only problem I have is normally the incentives are shite like 2 free weapon skins (unlock in the game within 1st hr) or improved backpack (again unlock within a hour) etc etc

Ratchet751874d ago

What problem exactly?
You usually get some free stuff.

shinoff21831874d ago

Pre ordering is perfect for me, especially at gamestop I can pre order a game months in advance and pay a couple bucks each week, by the time it releases im all paid for. Its easier then dropping 60 bucks at a time. Pre orders arent a problem for anything.

Skuletor1874d ago

I can preorder a game and get it delivered to my house day one, which is pretty cool

TKCMuzzer1874d ago

Some peoples comments are just bonkers. You do know pre-ordering is free?....and guess what? you can still cancel before despatch.
Just to prove it, i might just go and pre-order this game....

ShadowWolf7121874d ago

How would pre-ordering after a game's gone GOLD, no less, be part of the problem? It's not as if they're going to slack off suddenly. The game's done. It's shipping.

Congratulations Sony Bend on the release. Hopefully it turns out to be a great game.

15 Biggest Unresolved Video Game Cliffhangers We May Never Get Answers To

Cultured Vultures: These 15 unresolved video cliffhangers could be solved in the future, though if we’re really honest with ourselves, we all know there’s no chance in hell of that happening.

Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.

Chocoburger74d ago

I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.

The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.

shinoff218374d ago

I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.

Knightofelemia74d ago

Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.

Days Gone | Trailer [GOG]

Days Gone is now available DRM-free from GOG

shinoff2183182d ago

Such a fun ass game. I enjoyed it alot more then I thought I would.

ravens52182d ago

We need a part 2 doesn't even have to be Deacon. But I had no problems with him either, he was a dude on a mission.

Cacabunga182d ago

My second favorite PS4 game after RDR2 hands down

neutralgamer1992182d ago

I think with Jim Ryan gone we may get a sequel down the road. It has become a cult classic

andy85182d ago

This was so fun I love the hoards. People need to stick with it because the start is very slow

MrDead182d ago

Has a really good PC port too, I wasn't expecting much from this game but I had a blast. Wish it had a part 2 as the story was building well.

jznrpg182d ago

It does take some time to get some weapons ,skills and a few bike upgrades up to feel like you got a rhythm going but then it really starts to click and the game is a lot of fun

shinoff2183182d ago

I was sad when it ended. I wanted more. I'd have to look but I think that was one of the few games I platinumed to. I only got like 4. I don't go out of my way for trophies though

Abnor_Mal182d ago (Edited 182d ago )

@shinoff same I only have 4 plats and one is Days Gone, and I also don’t go out of my way for platinums.

Was a very fun game and wish there would be a sequel, maybe one day they will come back to it with a different pitch that Sony will approve.

They probably rejected it he sequel because it might not have been the direction they were going for with gaas games and the like.

jznrpg182d ago

@shinioff I had the same feeling when I got the platinum. I need more. Hopefully they make a sequel and leave multiplayer out of it unlike the last pitch for Days Gone2.

got_dam182d ago

The critical reception had Sony relegate Bend to a support studio. Thank God the fans spoke up and Sony reversed that decision.

jznrpg74d ago

They have been working on a game for some time now and have said so

Knightofelemia182d ago

One of my favorite Sony titles too bad there is no sequel.

4 PlayStation exclusives, rdr2 and gta 4 and 5. Not one xbox made game.

zachyBROosevelt292d ago

What Xbox game should be on there?

Flewid638291d ago

Quantum Break and Ryse Son of Rome. They're the only 2 Microsoft games I ever enjoyed, probably because they felt like PlayStation games.

MIDGETonSTILTS17292d ago

What Xbox games are missing?

What Xbox games would even be candidates? The OG Xbox version of Chaos Theory?

SullysCigar291d ago

None - I took that as his point. There aren't any xbox games that are contenders for this list.

Abnor_Mal291d ago

“Not one ‘Xbox made’ game.”

“Made”

Yet people are throwing out games made by third parties that are exclusive to Xbox, which isn’t what the question asked.

MIDGETonSTILTS17290d ago

A simulator that was built for PC first hardly counts….

MGS2’s ice cubes deserved a mention.

ClayRules2012292d ago

Seriously, they melt🤯 that game, ahead of its time.

andy85291d ago

Blew my mind back in 2001 in the bar area, each bottle smashing individuallly when you shot them too. Never seen that before

ClayRules2012292d ago

I’m so glad to see Days Gone get some recognition, because it absolutely is a BEAUTIFUL looking game, and in other times, downright incredible, with its snow forming on the ground over time and the storms coming in with the winds blowing the trees is a sight to behold! I remember at one point I was using photo mode and snapped this photo (I swear) using the filters and other effects the shot I captured looked so realistic, it was remarkable. It was of a leaf 🍁 (others were around it) by this train track and the area was wet from the rain. I captured many others, which turned out fantastic. I’m sure ya’ll captured some fantastic one’s yourselves. Oh, and the horde of freakers 500 coming at you is insane and a sight to see. Wish we could get a sequel, Days Gone deserves it!

Uncharted 4 - Man, that game still blows me away still to this day. ND really captured the adventures of Nate, Elena, Sully and Sam in a way that was not just so stunning to look at, but in a way that EVERY new location, be it in a new area of this specific city, town, jungle, mountain range etc all felt truly living, with life. One of my favorite locations was the old lady’s mansion, such a simple mission, yet so fun, intriguing, sad, and intense all at the same time. And the richness of detail packed into the objects in that mansion is superbly detailed. Anyone notice the couch pillow in Nate and Elena’s house actually mushes down when she rests her arm on it when she’s talking to Nate about him taking the job? ND delivered with best in class character models, yet again. Dirt in nails, I mean🤯 I remember capturing a photo of Nate hanging from a ledge in Madagascar and I snapped a pic, zoomed in, and dirt was in his finger nails, that’s just insane detail. Add on the chest hair blowing in the wind lol.

RDR2 - Masterpiece of a game! In visual details, how this game still looks better than games nowadays (and they don’t even have to be open world) is something else. Fantastic character models, hair/facial hair that grows in real-time, awesome cloud system, NPC characters in the world actually eat their food, cut up their 🥩 among other new details being discovered these almost 5 years later, it’s amazing. Horse testicles. Has me intrigued to see how GTA6 will deliver in comparison to dynamic events etc.

The Last of Us Part 2 - ND took PS4 to its limits with this game. The level of detail in these models is striking, again, best in class, along with the environments. Foliage is phenomenal and doesn’t look like that “cheap” looking video game grass. It’s such a step up in quality. The gore is a visual ummm, I don’t want to say delight, but showcase for depicting how unforgiving that world is. The level of pain, fear and loss on the faces of NPC’s when you take their life in this game as Ellie or Abbie, man I always felt bad about that. And the dogs too… until the dogs came at me, than all bets were off lol. But again, there’s many more details that players who’ve not played this game must see for themselves to appreciate. Motion matching technology to me tho has to be the most impressive thing above even the visuals. Although both compliment each other, playing the game with the tech and the way everything flows so fluidly and smoothly is like playing an E3 demo, each play through feels just that damn good.

Rimeskeem292d ago

Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone. The game was great, just maybe not the same quality as other PS exclusives. They are on the right track though, for their first new IP since 1999 I would say they should be given a chance to polish in a sequel. I can only imagine the madness of hoards they can make with the PS5. Maybe add a coop mode so that friends can be like a biker gang together and take out giant hordes with each other.

Just seems stupid to not give the IP another chance given it (supposedly) sold extremely well.

jznrpg291d ago

As long as it stays single player I hope they do make a sequel. I really enjoyed Days Gone and It would be a guaranteed purchase from me. I have the collectors unopened for the first game.

StormSnooper291d ago

I wouldn't mind a multiplayer Days Gone. It would have some intense hoard fights for sure! This is from a mainly single player gamer. I would want a single player Days Gone II, with a solid multiplayer mode.

Rimeskeem291d ago

I'm not saying to make it massively multiplayer or PVP, just would be nice to explore and kill hordes with a friend or 2.

1Victor291d ago

@Rimes:”Wonder if Sony will give Bend another chance at Days Gone.”

Personally I would prefer a remastered Warhawk, Starhawk or better jet a new game in the series even if it’s a GAS 😢
