Does the world really need another zombie game? That’s one of the many questions we had before heading to Sony Bend Studio’s offices in Oregon to check out Days Gone. After spending a couple of days playing the game and gaining a deeper understanding of what the studio is trying to accomplish, we came back with an enthusiastic yes. You face a massive undead threat, but they’re just part of the dangerous open-world ecology. Virtually everything in this dark vision of the Pacific Northwest wants to separate you from your life. Fortunately, you have the tools you need to survive – including your fully upgradable motorcycle.

In the June issue of Game Informer, we packed 14 pages with exclusive details and developer insight from that trip, including an extensive look at how Sony Bend is working to breathe life not only into the zombie apocalypse, but open-world games in general.

Sony has shown off Days Gone at E3 over the past couple of years, but we didn’t fully appreciate what Sony Bend is doing until after we played it ourselves. We learned more about the game’s biker protagonist, Deacon St. John, and his broken world – and experienced some of the brutal lengths he’s willing to go in order to keep his friends safe. We also have a better understanding of how exploration, story, and action interlock to tell what could be one of the genre’s most consistent narrative experiences.

fand bisher das material (gerade zur letzten e3) ziemlich ansprechend, aber der coverage trailer hat so paar dinge, die mir nicht gefallen. angefangen bei den schadenszahlen und dem kompletten hud (welches man aber sicherlich wie bei horizon und god of war bearbeiten kann) bis hin zum ghosting bei 0:35, welches mich leider an quantum break erinnert. hoffe das liegt am alpha material.

When Sony announced Days Gone at their E3 2016 press conference, some people quickly wrote it off as just another open-world zombie game. With our new cover story on the game, we'll be diving deep into the game's features and showing off why you might want to give it a second look. While visiting Sony Bend, we sat down with Days Gone's creative director John Garvin to talk about how the team hopes to win over skeptics and show them that the PlayStation 4 exclusive is an intriguing new experience for players.

Watch the interview with Garvin below to see new gameplay and learn what the game offers.

Das Zombie-Setting finde ich dafür allerdings hervorragend geeignet.

für mich ist das setting eh bis jetzt der größte pluspunkt des spiels.
pazifischer nordwesten in verbindung mit dem fokus auf motorräder ist genau nach meinem geschmack.

auch wenn sie bei letztem noch etwas an der physik schrauben müssen.

Reading about Days Gone in the new Game Informer issue. There's apparently choices you can make throughout the story. Player endings can be different. A small example is leaving your incapacitated friend in a safehouse & choosing to leave his shotgun w/ him or take it with you.

There are 5 "encampments" throughout the open world, each with different ideologies and ways of surviving. You also have access to a mechanic who can upgrade your motorcycle.

The world is described as extremely dangerous at all times. During their play time, a single swipe from one of the 'freakers' took a quarter of the player's health.

Your motorcycle can run out of gas, a component you have to constantly be aware of and scavenge for. Sounds like trouble if you're in the middle of a horde or something.

Heh, this sounds pretty neat: Player was in an abandoned medical facility for supplies, found a generator and managed to get it working. Though he failed to scout his surroundings and realize they're attached to loudspeakers that also turned on, attracting dozens of freakers.
