Director to pornstar this scene features a gangbang, pornstar ok. Director  cue the zombie horde, pornstar wtf!. Director didn't you see the videos title Debbie does Zombies.

While I'm not thrilled that Sony is putting resources into this and not a full fledged 1st party RPG (while they have some of the best in their catalog).

I'm not going to detract that Sony gives plenty of room and freedom for their developers to make what they want to make.

Not gonna be blown away, the new trailer looks good though, using things around to create chances to kill zombies can be actually fun

The game has been looking extremely meh since the very first trailer. It's Sony's Anthem.

You could say the same for The Last of Us. It's a post-apocalypse zombie, escort mission game, I never thought it looked quite unique aside from its "zombies." It was super hyped because it came from Naughty Dog and they were on top of the world at that point (still are, I would argue). The game itself was praised mainly for its story, the gameplay was basic but effective. Days Gone looks to offer a lot more variety in tackling the enemies and other types of gameplay.

Still, I agree that it's very much a "been there, done that" looking game. It will need to set itself apart by its enemy variety, set-pieces, crafting/weapons (which doesn't look all that innovative?) and story. Originally, I was really hoping that you would be playing as a group of raiders or "bad guys", it would have been a cool little spin rather than just the heroic do-gooder.

I'm still excited for it, I love zombies to death and I hope that the story and characters will be memorable enough to forgive its lack of originality. I hope it does well if it deserves it.

Some aspects of it looks fun. Just exploring the world and scrounging for stuff seems fine. The main character seems too generic and boring though. Hopefully it will be an enjoyable ride.

If games like Sea of Theives & State of Decay can get scores in the 66-69 range, with their lack of content, bugs, graphics,story, ect... then Days Gone should be a 80+ rated game imo.

Litterly everyone seems to be underestimateing it, and saying it looks like a generic zombie game, when that isnt true at all.
I expect people to get surprised by it, and how well it reviews.

No, but you didn't offer any other explanation so how I was supposed to know you possibly thought there was more to it? Why was it without merit? You didn't provide anything solid to back that up. Just because PS said is was for polish doesn't mean much when PS has said plenty of things and done the opposite not long afterwards, and fairly recently at that. You mentioned they put in more money. It makes a massive difference whether it's 1 dollar or 1 million dollars. Just because they haven't had demo time doesn't mean they've been spending the majority of their time on Days Gone.

If I were PS, even if I were launching TLOU2, I wouldn't allow it to launch around the same time as a COD or GTA or RDR game, etc. Your just asking to be overshadowed to some degree. That's money lost for almost no reason. You might as well launch slightly later and have the spotlight and sales to yourself. That's why I said sleeper in the first place. The game probably has a lot more to it, we just aren't seeing it right now. Days Gone and TLOU2 are different but are much more the same than the majority of other games, launching around this time frame, and in this case by SIE themselves. Both should do just fine, but some of that will no doubt be due to strategic launch positioning.

I saw the latest gameplay video. I really hope that's not all you do. If they can implement good base building that would make it a lot more interesting.

For me is day 1
