And on the upcoming GI Show (which might be a little late tonight) we share new exclusive impressions of Days Gone.

And tomorrow we'll share 45 more minutes of gameplay for Days Gone.

And next week we'll share another big video with new gameplay for Days Gone.

I liked it..glad I watched it and it’s really not very spoilery...
Love the lighting and atmosphere. Deacon seems like a cool guy and it definitely made me want to play the game. Performance was a bit choppy sometimes, but they still got loads of time for optimisations.

So two more videos? Nice.

- In this game, the zombies (freakers wtv) come running after you in huge swarms, the only other zombie game I can think of where they also do this is Dead Nation, which is not open world and have a top down view. In Dead Rising there's also a lot of zombies on screen, but they are passive as hell, just standing there for most of the time waiting to be killed.

- The weather changes, and it affects the gameplay. For example, cold weather makes freakers stronger and changes your motorbike performance .

- You can both upgrade and customize your motorbike.

- You can use the swarms of freakers in your favor, by releasing them upon your enemies or attracting them.

- The freakers make nests.

- There are wolves, and they can get you off your bike.

- There are freaking zombie bears!! Ok, zombie animals aren't a new thing, big or small, but the big ones tend to be bosses or mid-bosses in other games, while in this game they are regular enemies.

The alpha footage looks pretty good. Assuming the release date is not until February, that means Bend has around 9 months to work out the kinks. I would fix the UI a bit and Deacon's running animation, especially.

I like how they said some of the infected don't just attack mindlessly, they react to you so can walk among them, but they may try something if you are weak or not paying attention. Like vultures stalking a dying prey.

Release: February 2019, i think :)

41 minutes of new footage:

In the new video, the directors said that you will have the option to turn off the XP popups in the final game.
