Jeff Ross Tweets: "I get a little bummed out from these #PlayStationShowcase shows because they only remind me we could of had Days Gone 2 out a month ago if we'd have just stuck to our guns."
Days gone was an amazing game but got destroyed in reviews because it had a few flaws but a lot of games I've seen getting very high scores had the same flaws or worse. Days gone should have been a lot more successful and it sucks that a lot of games get low review scores when they are very good games. Reviewers often times suck at playing games or wish games were like other games they like
There were, of course, genuine criticisms, too. There were awful technical issues at launch, that were fixed a few weeks later. Reviewers didn't keep that energy for other games with technical issues before or since, though, which always struck me as odd.
For anyone still curious or that skipped it at the time due to the backlash, it works very nicely on PS5 (free upgrade) and is a great game!
the game was destroyed because of the Pygmalion effect. The majority of media already made their reviews in mind the moment they saw the game trailer and any small flaws basically confirmed that the game could be average at best.
Heck we had the next day of reveal : another zombie game : Another white male protagonist : We see again the Playstation/Ubisoft formula of open-world game
and any previews you saw convey the emotion of I'm not really interested in learning about the game.
You know the same feeling you see when you read a Ubisoft game score 8/10 review but the conclusion still seems like great game but you should wait for a discount.
Amazing that reviewers were allowed to complain about "another white male protagonist" but if you say anything about all of these games now having a female or black female lead then apparently you're a shitty person. It's honestly absurd how many of them have them. Like the industry doesn't know how to have a good balance so they just flipped it completely the other way.
I liked Days Gone, but it was a 7.5/10, even after the bugs were fixed. I think a sequel had tons of potential, especially with the secret ending, but i also understand why it was canned.
Push square is pushing some BS all over. Second attack article. There a lot of games that could have released by now. Director needs to shut his mouth. And no I'm not reading your articles to give any clicks.
Anyone disappointed with all those games shown needs to turn in their gamer card. If the new game turns out to be more awesome than Days Gone, then what?
Serious question, was Sony wrong to greenlight Horizon over another Killzone? I liked Killzone. Horizon ended up being more awesome. I liked Infamous. Sony green lit Ghost of Tsushima. It's actually more awesome. Was Sony wrong in greenlighting TLofU over another Uncharted?
How about we wait to see their new game previewed, reviewed and played by gamers before marching with pitchforks at Sony's doorstep.
And no, I don't read push square because they suck.
"Push square is pushing some BS all over. Second attack article."
The showcase was stinking garbage as far first party game is concerned. Both articles from Pushsquare regards first party games! They´re a pro Playstation site making valid criticism due worldwide disappointment with Sony´s latest presentation.
You´re the one trying your best to sugarcoat Sony´s mess of a show!
Whatever happened with all that "When Playstation screws up, we´ll raise our voice and demand better" rhetoric. Smdh.
Man I loved Days Gone so much. Finished it 3 times. Out of anything Sony has ever done, I would say the announcement that Days Gone 2 was denied actually hurt the most. Out of anything they've ever done, ever.
To each their own. It was probably one of the more disappointing playstation 1st party games in the past decade for me. I was so hyped for it when they first revealed it. It certainly wasn't a polished game at release.
I played it a year or so after buying it day one. Life got me. It was fun as hell and I don't recall bugs but it was clean. If people playing redfall I imagine days gone wasn't as bad as that
The game was a great open world, crazy zombie game. Also played through multiple times with my boy. We want to know what happened with O’Brien at the end and where it was going next.
If the lead character was a woman looking for her wife it would have got 10’s.
If days gone 2 was truly gonna be multi-player I'm alright with it happening. If it wasn't then I'm kinda pissed. Fk those reviewers it was a fantastic game
This was one of my favourite games ever. I was devastated when they knocked back the second one. I still don't quite understand, I never experienced any major bugs and my friends that game also highly rated it. I think there was certainly some wokeness in the review scores.
This guy is quite funny at this point. You sounds like a broken record they really hurt him. However, I don't disagree it would be awesome to have a days gone 2
To me? Nothing. Fact is that they´re always taking shot at Sony´s current leadership. Some will be more discreet like Layden while others like Ross and Jaffe will be more vocal about it.
My main disappointment with Days Gone was the backpedaling they did on the Moral Choices that was in the original trailer. Overall, I liked the game, but they needed more time.
Is this twat ever going to shit up? It was a mediocre game with a tired zombie trope ten years too late and a completely unlikable and boring af protagonist. THATS why it didn’t sell as well. Own your shit dude, no one owes you anything. Its not like you made a terrible game, it just wasn’t special, and it certainly didn’t stand out. Happens ALL the time, move forward and get over it you whiner.
Start a Petition to get this series back rolling. This is a crime. This was a masterpiece of a game. Deep emotional story, challenege mode was a blast.
Funny this game got hit hard from reviews when was great and almost broke the ps4 when was running. The excuse of generic, critics to the protagonist. Now it's the best ever game made... I really like the game and the hordes were amazing. But players didn't buy the game.
Hopefully this has better dialogue then the first. That was such a cheese fest it was rather awkward. I found the gameplay somewhat satisfying, but could've been better.
Days Gone was such a great game man! It was butter smoooth on the PS5! It was like a PC gaming experience in a console. Sony got to change their minds on this game. I hope their new game is something similar.
Jeff Ross still crying over the fact that his game only appeals to the Pac North West, Norman Reedus fans and Sons of Anarchy goobers. Have another IPA bro.
Not true at all. I used to live down the street from a biker bar in fact right on the corner where there's a stop sign. It was annoying as fk. I really really dislike bikers and the whole genre of it all days gone was fun game imo
If Shawn Layden was still the CEO, he might be right 🤔
Bruh.
