[FONT=&quot]Days Gone was one of the surprise reveals at Sony's E3 2016 press conference, with not one, but two announcements. First in the form of a reveal trailer and secondly with some excellent looking gameplay footage that resembled World War Z.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But ever since developers at Sony SIE Bend have remained incredibly tight-lipped on the game and really all we know is that the zombie looking, creatures, are called "Freakers".[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]However, recently actor Sam Witwer who plays the lead character in the game teased fans with some new information ahead of a potential return at the Sony E3 2017 press conference.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In a recent interview on Twitch, Sam Witwer confirmed that not only will Sony SIE Bend appear at the gaming convention but that Days Gone will be there in a “big way” during the PlayStation showcase.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Unfortunately, Witwer stopped short of sharing any further details about the game, but given his tease, we're expecting that the developers are going to share quite a bit Intel.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For instance, we’re still in the dark with regards to how that motorbike will fit into the gameplay or how survival elements will work.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Likewise, we're hoping for a bit more info on the game's storyline and fingers crossed a rough release date for when the game is coming to PS4 and PS4 Pro.[/FONT]

 

[Salvation]

The first good thing about this game is that it is a third person shooter. I have played first person zombie apocalypse games like Dead Island, Dying Light etc and were not able to digest it for than an hour or so.

The second good feeling i have for this game is that since it is an exclusive title, the devs are definitely going to put a lot of effort into building a great gameplay experience. Like they always do for all exclusive games.

Now, i am keeping my fingers crossed for its story mode. I personally want it to be different from all other zombie apocalypse themes. Infection spreads. Find the cure to fix the infection or just get out of the infected area etc. A faction based progressive story mode could be great i guess? like in Walking Dead (Although I hate the series now)

The third good feeling I have is that it is going to have a great massive multiplayer game mode.

Sony closed its E3 2016 conference with gameplay footage from Days Gone, a new open-world action game that with post-civilization crafting, a biker anti-hero, and massive hordes of zombie-like enemies. In a conference that included reveals of God of War and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, choosing to end with an unknown entity like Days Gone could only mean that Sony has high expectations for developer Bend Studio’s first PlayStation 4 game. Days Gone looks to be a resurgence of the zombie-infested, survival-horror genre, but from what we’ve seen, it looks like the title will deviate from the traditional zombie tropes. Here’s everything we know about the forthcoming title, from its characters to its settings.

A DRIFTER IN THE POST-APOCALYPTIC PACIFIC NORTHWEST

[FONT=proxima_nova]As revealed at E3 2016, Days Gone, a third-person action game, takes place in the Pacific Northwest two years after a global virus wiped out much of the population, turning people into zombie-like “freakers.” You play as Deacon St. John, a biker turned bounty hunter/mercenary following the global pandemic.[/FONT]
[FONT=proxima_nova]While we don’t know much about the character, we know that the virus affected his personal life. In the trailer, he recounts riding down the open road with a woman, presumably his wife or girlfriend. The assumption here, based on the language he uses, is that she either fell victim to the virus herself, or was taken out by someone afflicted with the virus. A man with a head tattoo, possibly a member of St. John’s biker gang, reminds him that “Phoebe” is dead. St. John appears to be on a vendetta as a bounty hunter, and it seems as if he is a lone wolf, working outside of his biker gang in the present.[/FONT]
[FONT=proxima_nova]He is described as a drifter, and at this time, we don’t know of any close allies. St. John remarks that “brotherhood” used to mean something, implying that he has lost hope in humanity. In the reveal trailer, however, St. John enters through a gate into what appears to be a safe haven, suggesting that there’s camps where St. John can regroup before setting back out into the apocalyptic wilderness.
[/FONT]
[FONT=proxima_nova]Although we haven’t seen much of the game’s world outside of the forested area surrounding the lumber yard, Days Gone is set in an open world, with a heavy emphasis on the wilderness. And from what we’ve seen so far, St. Johns’ main means of traveling is by motorcycle.


[/FONT]
“FREAKERS” AREN’T YOUR TYPICAL ZOMBIES

[FONT=proxima_nova]The E3 2016 demo picked up right where the game trailer left off. Presumably on a bounty, St. John rides into an abandoned lumber yard in search of Two-Dog. While on foot, chasing down Two-Dog, we witness the effects of the virus during St. John’s encounter with a massive swarm of freakers.[/FONT]
[FONT=proxima_nova]Freakers don’t move like typical zombies, however, as they’re swift on their feet. As showcased in the demo, St. John will encounter huge masses of freakers at a time. It’s difficult to gauge how many chased him down in the lumber yard, but it was easily more than a hundred. And while they appear to travel in packs, they do seem to be at least relatively autonomous, as they converged on St. John from multiple directions. One other important thing to note about freakers is that they come out during the day, but if they follow zombie lore, there may be even more of them on hand when night falls.


[/FONT]
GEAR MANAGEMENT AND CRAFTING

[FONT=proxima_nova]Prior to going after Two-Dog in our preview, we moved gear from our motorcycle stash into our inventory. Besides high-powered assault rifles and pistols, resource management appears to be key to survival. In the demo, St. John uses molotov cocktails to take out swarms of zombies, but hand-to-hand weapons like axes will be key for close-quarters combat.[/FONT]
[FONT=proxima_nova]On top of maintaining healthy ammunition levels and throwable weapons like molotovs, Days Gone will feature a crafting system. In the gameplay footage, St. John pillages scraps from a broken down car to modify his pistol.


[/FONT]
INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENTS

[FONT=proxima_nova]Along with your own inventory, there’s other ways to slow down hordes of freakers. In the lumber yard sequence, for instance, the yard is littered with interactive points such as cradles of timber that can be knocked over, conveyor belts, and mechanical doors that can be shut to stave off, and eliminate some of swarm, if timed well.[/FONT]
[FONT=proxima_nova]While all we’ve seen so far is the lumber yard, we can infer that other set pieces throughout the open world will have similar interactivity, giving players unique ways to defend themselves, and in some cases, escape, even if it’s just momentarily, from the freakers.


[/FONT]
DYNAMIC WEATHER SYSTEM

[FONT=proxima_nova]During our preview, the studio confirmed that Days Gone will have a dynamic weather system. In the reveal trailer, we see St. John traveling both during the day and at night, and there’s even torrential rainfall at one point.[/FONT]
[FONT=proxima_nova]At this time, it’s unclear how the weather system will affect the gameplay, but from the footage we’ve seen, it would appear that it’s safer to work during the day. At nightfall, St. John enters a gated camp with a bonfire.


[/FONT]
PLAYSTATION 4 PRO SUPPORT

[FONT=proxima_nova]At the PlayStation 4 Pro reveal in September, Bend Studio director Chris Reese showed off Days Gone running on the PS4 Pro. On HDR TVs, the title’s environments really pop, but Reese claimed that even for users who don’t own a 4K TV, the PS4 Pro will offer a better visual experience than the PS4.

[Chandoo]

Yeah, too early for an OT and we don't even know if that date is accurate, if the game was releasing in 3 months, there'd be a lot more previews and footage coming along.

Days Gone was one of the highlights from last year's E3. Good to see it's coming along nicely.

they still didn't give a proper release date its a shame

 

[venom]

Last years walk through of this game was all guns blazing. This time around the stealthier approach showcases the variety this game is going to offer. This for me was one the best parts of Sony's otherwise underwhelming conference.

 

[GloriousChicken]

D; die with the zombies already

it looks so much like TLOU, that I wonder if they are using ND's engine

Actually, believe it or not, this is running on Unreal Engine 4.

Not sure what to make of the game .. seemed like they're taking a lot of cues from the Fall season segment of TLoU and expanded on it. The zombie behavior looks easily exploitable and I just can't get over the fact that you're playing as a Biker .. Might as well have called this Ride to Hell: Retribution 2.

Game *looks* really awesome though and seems to be pretty open-ended in terms of how to tackle scenarios.

Well that is definitely unreal's lighting profile but the shader and texture are so much like TLOU....

 

[manigamer]

man this game looked solid back at e3 2016 and now even more

what IF this game is in the same universe of TLOU
