I think Sony should take note of the fact that people are still talking about this game and the demand for a sequel is there. The one thing I like about days gone is that is was just...........fun, it is a fun game and we don't get enough of those these days.
On the flip side I think the problem is that there are soooooooo many zombie games now (freakers/zombies, same difference) that it's just starting to get silly and maybe that was one of the reasons behind it not getting the green light, these zombie games are standing out much less than they did 10-15 years ago.
I've tried a few of these sorts of games because I usually like the horror aesthetic a lot of them go for but I just don't have the time or patience to persevere and so I end up just selling them after a few weeks.
Maybe back in the day when I was a fresh faced teenager I would have been willing to put the time in but I'm almost 40, I have 2 kids, a wife and full time job. I'm not into dying over and over and over again it just ain't doing it for me but if people like em then more power to em.
Who cares, playstation games have no business being on PC anyway, the only reason Xbox did it was because their platform was a flop and had to claw back some profits. I'm not bothered personally about PC gamers being able to play playstation games but they are a particular bunch and need to just be left in their own lane, Nintendo gets it so why doesn't anyone else.
I'm not the biggest spiderman fan but I grew up watching the 90's animated series and quite enjoyed most of the movies but I've always been more of a batman guy myself.
Another superhero I've always liked is wolverine and seeing how insomniac and Sony are doing things, I don't trust them with wolverine and my excitement is pretty much dead for the upcoming game.
They'll end up doing something stupid to the story or his character because these "enlightened" writers and developers can't help themselves no matter how much they annoy the fans.
That's what you get from a generation of gamers that only care about "those graffix" and want everything super realistic. One of my favorite games of the last 3 years was Metroid dread so you know why I like the look of this.
I would have gotten a PS5 for days gone 2 and I still would if somehow the game ever got the go ahead.
The confirmation that there would never be a days gone sequel is one of the reasons I went with the series x over the PS5. Not into superheroes, not into horizon but days gone was soooooo underated and felt like it was aimed at my demographic.
I didn't say they don't sell, I said they don't sell as well as third party games.
FiFA and COD sell more on just Playstation than any of the first party titles. These games can sell up to 10+ million copies on their first week alone.
I'm playing it on gamepass at the moment and it's one of the best games I've ever played, but I'd recommend playing the first game before jumping into this one.
Do you guys not think that Microsoft looks at numbers before making these kinds of statements and these decisions?
First party games DO NOT sell as well as 3rd party games (maybe on switch but I'm not sure) that is a fact and the numbers are out there.
Secondly, during the Xbox one era I think it's fair to say that Xbox were putting out bangers like Titanfall, quantum break, sunset overdrive, dead rising 3, killer instinct, Sony gave us a last of us remaster and killzone shadow fall and yet Xbox still lost despite having a much stronger first party offering straight out the gate.
Look at Bayonetta 3 on switch, that game is fantastic but did anybody buy it?? Well I did but y'know what I'm saying.
What has Sony given us so far this year, forspoken!? Yet they still sell consoles like hotcakes in 2023, it speaks for itself
I think some of it is price increase but I gotta say a lot of it is people just buying a PS5 to simply have the hot new thing and then just using it to play FiFA and COD and watch blu rays.
I will be picking this up for sure, I got a PS5 today and almost got a series x instead and this was one of the games that was swaying me a bit, I know the scores were mixed but I'm a massive horror fan and MUST play them all and thought this was an XSX exclusive bit lucky for me I will be playing this soon
Days gone wasn't woke enough for sony so it can't have a sequel, we need to start facing facts that the playstation brand of today is not the same brand from the PS1-PS2 days which in my opinion was their golden era. To be honest I was a bit shocked that a game like days gone came along when it did as a Sony exclusive and felt like a breath of fresh air.
This really is a shame as days gone was right up my street, I loved the whole biker gang and zombies vibe it had and I enjoyed it more than both last of us games but it is what it is and this is yet another reason why I don't plan on ever owning a PS5.
Sony probably has bend working on some looter shooter garbage with micro transactions and roadmaps and what not and that's probably why the devs that could afford to do so packed up and left.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Can Be Played Entirely Offline, Once You've Installed It
@MrBook The point I was making is not wether you've bought them or not it's that nobody makes much fuss and just gives Nintendo a free pass
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Can Be Played Entirely Offline, Once You've Installed It
@MrBook mortal Kombat 1, batman Arkham collection, Wolfenstein 2, tony hawk 1&2 are just a few examples.
Not to mention code in a box, can you imagine playstation or Xbox doing code in a box?
