The more we hear about Days Gone, the more Sony Bend seems to be leaning into the concept of survival. In this new video, directors John Garvin and Jeff Ross talk about realism, and how it helps set the title apart. For example, you’re going to need to fuel and repair your bike if you want to get about; fail to do so, and you may just find yourself lost in the wilderness with no means of escape.
With so many other open world games on the market, we reckon this is a smart selling point to lean into, because it is something that sets the post-apocalyptic PlayStation 4 exclusive apart from the likes of Far Cry 5.

mad max did it already.. no sense of realism there.. just annoyance
@LaNooch1978 Early Gamescom stuff.
Me soon hornnnyahh
Days Gone is among my most anticipated games, along with Red Dead, Cyberpunk, Ghost of Tsushima and Metroid Prime 4
@notdead Realism in Mad Max where?
@Flaming_Kaiser
fuel and repairing
more annoying than feeling real
loved the game and i will probably love this one as well, but the fueling and repairing mechanic is not realism material
not ready to announce Pre-order details including digital deluxe edition, standard and Collector's Edition for this game ? ughhh gosh Metro Exodus and Anthem pre-order details were already announced
Realistic parents telling you to quit playing and go to bed game mechanics
@LaNooch1978 don't look for ways to complain and i bet you said the samething about god of war
@LaNooch1978 omg that doesn't mean anything and you acting like days gone is coming out when spider man and shadow of tomb raider comes out
@notdead just as annoying as botw weapon durability, it's kind of putting me off.
Dying Light and its buggy did it great.
What's wrong with a bit of RPG style resources management? It's impossible to please everyone, no game ever can or will please everyone. The last of us weapons broke as well, metal pipes and 2x2 timber, and we had limited ammo / resources, still a good game.
Many gamers want games to get better or be better than the previous game in a series but they don't want the game to change, they want something fresh yet they want more of the same, it's dumb. Assassins creed origins is a great game all the changes were for the better, God of war, also a great game all of it's changes were also for the better.
Stop complaining just because you can, just for the sake of complaining, wait till you play the game then you'll have some informed opinions.
@LaNooch1978 Wondered what you meant by that.. very true
@Nesstark88 I like these survival mechanics. I feel like they should have an easy mode for people who don't like it, but that as you raise difficulty there are more features like bike management (maybe no bike concerns on easy, gas management on normal, then gas and repair on hard, then reduced carry weight on very hard). Just put trophies on the harder settings so you get credit for not being a scrub (my main gripe with God of War.. no difficulty based trophies).
Last of Us did a good job with taking away the hearing perk and limiting resources as you raised difficulty, plus giving a trophy to show you beat the game completely, not just on an easy difficulty.
