Great! Playing from yesterday and so far so good. Game mechanics seems perfect to me.

_SilverHawk_2180d ago

Days gone is an amazing game and I'm glad the developers have been releasing patches to help with various issues it has.

Sono4212179d ago

Well it didn't patch the out of map glitches I found.. sweet :) Honestly tho I haven't came across any game breaking glitches yet.

Kurisu2180d ago

My copy has just been dispatched, looking forward to giving it a go.

HeisenbergX2180d ago

It seems so .. not that i had huge framerate problems before this patch it ran pretty good except when you get into some camps its slows down quite a bit when you enter but thats just for a couple of seconds. Well i tested that now and it’s pretty much fixed.

Like I need another reason to jump in, the game world has me hooked, so much random stuff happens, feels very alive, from the weather effects to the sounds.. hoping it's done well enough for a sequel.

Knushwood Butt2180d ago

Yep, have to say I'm loving this game. Already one of my all time favourites.

It just reminded me that when I was about 14 or 15, I had an English class assignment where I could write a story about whatever I wanted, and heavily influenced by Day of the Dead at the time, I started drafting an apocalypse type story based on my world at the time. Didn't help that they made us watch Threads.... (If you haven't seen it, be prepared...).

In the end I abandoned my essay and wrote some other crap, but today I realised that Days Gone is the essay I wanted to write.

joestrummer772180d ago

Day of the dead is pretty much my favourite films along with Dawn.

Knushwood Butt2180d ago

Thank you sprinterboy.

IRetrouk

Threads is amazing but incredibly grim. Not sure how old you are, but if you watch it, consider that my school in England made us watch that, aged around 15. Lots of respect for that, but at the time, there was a very real threat that it could become a reality.

I think everyone on the planet should be forced to watch Threads. It's a hard pill to swallow, but...

IRetrouk2180d ago

It's crazy to think that 130 people made this game, I cant put it down, not watched threads but will deffo check it out, the game is becoming a fav of mine too, feel sorry for the people missing out on it.

Knushwood Butt2180d ago

Now that I think about it, my school also forced us to watch:

Boys from the Black Stuff
1984
and Kes

All around the same period.

I remember thinking, hang on, I'm not even 15 years old, but my school is showing us films rated 15?!! That's hardcore.

I also remember them showing us The Killing Fields in the school library. That's 18 certificate stuff...

I guess my school was pretty hardcore. I was 16 when I graduated from that place....

IRetrouk2180d ago (Edited 2180d ago )

Lol we had of mice and men(great story) and macbeth😂

Knushwood Butt2180d ago

I suppose we had some pretty forward thinking / open minded people running our school :)

SyntheticForm2180d ago

The audio desyncing was the only thing that really dogged my game. Glad they fixed it because it really is a great game. Doesn't deserve that nonsense.

chris2352180d ago

a little late. i already platinumed it. bugs and glitches were not that severe.

WickedLester2180d ago

Well good thing Sony Bend doesnt plan their development schedule around you, lol

alexgibson2180d ago

Hah, no you're right they should release a broken game and fix it a month later. That makes perfect sense. #2019Gamesindustry

slayernz2180d ago

i got the platinum yesterday but cant wait for the survival mode in june...definitely gonna fire it back up

I stopped playing RDR2 for Days gone and jumped back into RDR2 today to resume the story.....lasted for 15 minutes before turning it off....it just feels so slow and cumbersome and quite frankly was boring after the masterpiece that is days gone

2180d ago
CBaoth2180d ago

RDR>RDR2. My 2 biggest disappointments this gen - rdr2 and ni no kuni2. Just awful compared to their predecessors.

nucky642180d ago

me too - an it'll be brutal. NO map and NO fast travel - that alone is a huge change in gameplay.

AKS2180d ago

I'm curious to see if Survival mode will be difficult enough that it will push me to start relying heavily on the directional audio with my headset, which thankfully is pretty good for a single player game. I'm hoping it's legitimately challenging enough to alter the experience and the way you have to play. So many games these days are so absurdly easy that you can essentially mash buttons and walk through attacks and skip many of the mechanics that are supposed to be part of the game. This is why an "easy" mode in a Souls game would be disastrous. You can't just button mash and tank through damage. You MUST learn to dodge and recognize enemy attack patterns and aren't progressing until you do.

sushimama2180d ago

I Platinumed BOTH games. Days Gone and Red Dead 2. They're both great games. But you look at the trophy pecentage for Red Dead 2 and compare it to Days Gone, so many more people have abandoned Red Dead 2 earlier than expected. It's kind of crazy. Days Gone percentage is really healthy for a long open-world game.

Days Gone PS5 Is a 'Really Good Piece of Work', Say Tech Experts

Sammy writes: "Back when Days Gone Remastered was announced, many fans were squinting to see the differences between the excellent original PS4 version and its PS5 re-release.

But now with the game readily available – and our 8/10 review declaring it the “definitive version of a fan favourite” – we’re beginning to get some meaningful tech analysis.

And according to Digital Foundry, this is not just the bare-bones resolution upscale some had anticipated – “a lot of effort has gone into it”, according to the tech experts. "

First game sell well enough to warrant a sequel? Our received well enough?

Alos885d ago

It sold well but reviewed only okay, which apparently wasn't enough for Sony.

Cacabunga5d ago

Sold well and received even better.. had a bad first month due to technical issues but ended up being one of the best games from last gen

Knightofelemia5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

That's the nature of the beast. If a game like a movie does not meet certain numbers then they write off the franchise. EA scrapped DS2 because the DS1 remake did not meet certain numbers. I was hoping the remaster of DG and the fact it also came to PC would convince Sony to green light a DG sequel.

PanicMechanic5d ago

Critic reviews were appalling. The worst reviewed game I’ve ever seen. By that I mean, poor quality journalism, dishonest writing and review scores which are out of touch with fan reception.

Cacabunga10d ago

Huge difference i must admit, but not sure i would notice without 2 screens next to each other.

Not getting this game still, i want a new game and im tired of remasters

Muigi10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

It’s $10 and there are plenty of games out there for you.

Flewid63810d ago

Then its not a huge difference?

Killer2020UK9d ago

Of course you wouldn't, nobody would. If you have never experienced the other, then you don't have the reference needed for comparison.

TheEroica9d ago

Sony getting ready to milk some more people on dumb products.... I can see the psvr1 and 2 owner salivating over days gone remaster. Lol. What a ruse song is pulling.

Knushwood Butt9d ago

How can Sony milk customers if it's such a 'dumb product'? If it's so dumb, nobody will buy it, and there's no milking.
Plus, there's nothing preventing people from getting a copy of the PS4 version.

Babadook79d ago

As a PSVR2 owner. Yup. If there’s a VR version I would be there day one.

Greg28019d ago

There are plenty of people who never had a chance to play this game, now they can with the remaster.

Don't understand why people who already played the game complain about a remaster. No one is forcing you to buy it. There are plenty of new games to play

marioJP879d ago

Huge difference where? Besides blue color filter and darker lighting?

Remastered.....

Tedakin10d ago

Sony is now remastering games with 71s on metacritic.

Bathyj10d ago

Like that's a judge of anything
This game got scored before it was released.

andy8510d ago

Days gone is 85+. It got heavily marked down at launch for bugs where as others get a free pass for that. It's a fantastic game.

Kosic10d ago

And it's not even a big overhaul remaster. It's list turning up the graphic level by one. It's quite embarrassing, as the original wasn't that bad. And the remaster isn't that noticeable

PanicMechanic9d ago

“And it's not even..”

Bugs bunny NO meme

TheEroica9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Poorly remastering if images are to be believed.

Tapani9d ago

To me it was very close to The Last of Us Part I. It was that good quality.

PanicMechanic9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Shut up. Best open world zombie game on the market

andy8510d ago

I spoiled myself by modding this game on my PC. Genuinely one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Whilst this remaster looks nice it just doesn't compare to that sadly. It shows the effort that these remasters could put in if they wanted

REDGUM10d ago

I so hope this game or DLC for those of us who own the original sells well.
Ive said it before, its an underrated game for sure & was unfairly judged upon release.
Please try this game if you haven't already.

For those who say 'i won't purchase digital only' you can pickup a hard copy for 5 bucks here in Australia, then add the DLC and you have a superb game for $20 or so.

Give it a shot, tell me I'm wrong After completing the game.

Game on gamers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH10d ago

It was full of bugs at release I wouldn’t call that being unfairly judged. If you want your game to score well then release it in a completed state. Now with that being said I think the game was pretty good.

Knushwood Butt10d ago

It really wasn't.
The worst I encountered was a horde spawning on top of me when exploring a cave.
Did you even play this at launch?

S2Killinit9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

It wasnt full of buggs, it was very playable. That was the excuse for the hit job at launch before people started to speak up about how great the game was.
