Why Sony, why?

Days Gone could have been a good game, but it wasn't.

a lot of things could be a certain way but aren't.

I honestly dont see how you could objectively say days gone is a bad game, sure it had issues at launch (is jedi survivor a bad game then?) And sure, it might not be your cup of tea.

But a bad game, objectively? This is not.

 

[DeepEnigma]

But yet they're green lighting a movie adaptation.

I think this comes down to studio CULTure more so.

Thats the wildest part, the IP got picked up for a movie but not a new game?

Watch them reboot it down the line with a different cast.

Cry.

more people listen to Justin Bieber than to any good musician.
all that shows is that generally people are really stupid, and that generic shit that plays and looks like other generic shit will usually be more popular than better things that are less generic

It's the same handful of people that you'd expect to say it, to the surprise of nobody.

They've cried about "cinematic 3rd person with trees, depression simulator, one and done" games until they are blue in the face and now that they are getting what they asked for they still aren't happy. It's incredible really.

It's actually one of the least "generic" open world games we've had in a while from a game mechanics standpoint but please go on.

[Warablo]

I just don't think the characters and motorcycle thing were very appealing. Always looked interesting but couldn't get into it.

They're going to blow Senuna to Niflheimr and back next month. You watch.

Wait for the flip flop if Indiana Jones winds up similar to Uncharted.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Deacon's wife makes a joke about Deacon promising to ride her like he rides his bike, and people took it out of context. In the game, it's actually a sweet moment between two people who obviously love each other.

And in the discourse, I heard as much about that line as the zombie hordes.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

This thread was popping off, then I posted, and it died. Looks like I win.

 

[gundalf]

They are working on Days Gone 2? Great news! I loved the first one.

 

[TheRedRiders]

"Could HAVE had"

And that's why your game isn't getting a sequel.

Dam dude lmao

 

[Solarstrike]

In other words he's upset on the current game SONY is having them make

 

[Last Hearth]

So many children here just post out of their ass.

Days Gone has a fanbase. Its not a small fanbase either. Hell, half of this thread is already saying they liked the first one.........

From what I've heard, the game has a major pacing problem and doesn't really become good until half way through the game and your character gains enough different abilities, and most of the hate come from people who gave up before they got to the good part. So the people who stuck it out really enjoy it, and the people who never saw the good part say it's crap, and neither group is wrong.

Developers needs to be mindful of things like that. Most players do not have the patience to invest 10-15 hours into a game before it gets good.

 

[HawarMiran]

I enjoyed Days Gone, but it didn't wow me. So i am not really bothered that it doesn't get a sequel. Maybe in a few years they can come back to it, because it is a game many love apparently

 

[WoJ]

I mean if Alan Wake can get a sequel, what? 12? 13 years later? Maybe Days Gone 2 could end up being a thing eventually.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Was this the game Kotaku said had Aryan Zombies? I looked into it, and it was more The Descent than Wolfenstein. Kotaku and this guy should work together only to be immediately fired.






Out of a cannon.

[Muffdraul]

I really didn't get the negativity towards this game. I thought it was a standout exclusive game for the platform.

I bought it on day 1 and didn't get how anybody could possibly stay interested in it for more than the two or so hours I did. So I guess we cancel each other out. =P

No gay sex or pronouns. Also white. Understand?

 

[Knightime_X]

What i'm hearing..
"Could have released a month ago, but we're gonna go ahead and wait another 1-2 years."
Our bad.

 

[SSfox]

Instead now they are working on some multiplayer GaaS trash. Thanks Sony. Imagine being confident in this leadership lmao

It's confirmed Bend are working on online/gaas?

 

[kiphalfton]

You made a complete douchebag like Deacon St.John the protagonist of your AAA game, you deserve no sympathy.

When I heard people were upset the voice actor wasn't going to be cast for the role in the TV show, I felt for them.

Then I played the game....

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

next-gen hardware would benefit days gone 2 in basically every way.

hope it happens.

had a fun time stealthing it and setting traps.

 

[Luigi Mario]

It's actually one of the least "generic" open world games we've had in a while from a game mechanics standpoint but please go on.

This should not surprise you.

Sony seems to only want games that emulate movies and have zero depth these days as to not overwhelm the typical casual idiot that's sadly the average console buyer these days

 

[Hero_Select]

Days Gone was incredibly mediocre, just let it go people.

 

[unlurkified]

Days Gone > TLOU2 imo. On PS5 at 60fps that is. Can’t speak to its release state.

 

[mdkirby]

Such a shame, was one of my fav games from last gen. It even sold really rather well in the end too

 

[JayK47]

I too hope for a sequel that will never happen. One of the few games I purchased more than once and have enjoyed every playthrough.

 

[Ozzie666]

The end result of Days Gone was a good game with some good ideas. It's unfortunate it took a while to get there with all the patches. The development hell and time required by the studio, is probably why Sony didn't sign off on a sequel. Meanwhile you have a developer like Sucker Punch who releases Second Son and then Ghosts of Tsushima in the same generation. Sony knows where to put their time.

But this guy sounds like the Scotty Pippen of gaming, just let it go man and move on.

I really didn't get the negativity towards this game. I thought it was a standout exclusive game for the platform.

Not woke enough for the usual "gamers." That and as much as I do not like it, TLOU set the bar too high for people to care about something that looked like a "lesser version."

 

[ahtlas7]

 

[mrmustard]

It seems he is not too happy about whatever he is working on now.

 

[-Zelda-]

Dang she was cute back in the day. That's like some Anime hair or something how it isn't in her face/eyes. Especially that shorter section on the right side that seems to be partially in front of her face, but not touching it.

 

[MMaRsu]

Could of? Jesus christ

 

[daninthemix]

Coulda woulda shoulda.

 

[hemo memo]

Do we really need a sequel?

 

[oji-san]

Days Gone wasn't good, it's was fantastic.
And the secret ending had me looking forward even more for a sequel. I hope we'll get a sequel one day.

 

[ChoosableOne]

It's one of the best Sony exclusive games. Canceling the sequel is one of Sony's biggest mistakes.

 

[oji-san]

Do we really need a sequel?

Most definitely! More riding please.

 

[rofif]

Days gone was bad but I wouldn’t mind a sequel

 

[Flutta]

Why Sony, why?

I believe Sony was planing to shift funding to their ”10 GaaS games” that needed resources. DG2 was the first one to go.

Who knows what else got canned because of their GaaS garbage. I mean DG was a bigger success financially than Death Stranding even. So weird what happend with DG tbh.

Do we really need a sequel?

Yeah that’s the only thing the game had to offer, a cringy line.

As a whole DS was a good game sold well, and was well recived by gamers.

Games much worse with less success got sequels.

 

[Sethbacca]

But yet they're green lighting a movie adaptation.

Wait what? Apparently I missed this announcement somewhere.

 

[simpatico]

Best Sony studios game I've played in a long time. I liked it better than Dad of War.
