Re: Days Gone

Unless choices/decisions are absolutely core to how a game plays, they often seem like they're just "thrown in" and meaningless to me.

The choices/decisions were connected to the other characters in the game and how your relationship with them works but I don't think that it was ever fully implemented the way they wanted it to be so they removed it which im fine with. Unless it's an actual RPG, im not a fan of making those decisions as I never know what option I want to choose and not a fan of multiple endings in games. So basically, very happy that Bend removed it. The game is more straight forward in regards to the story and characters which is definitely a huge positive for me. Less than six weeks to go too!!! Woohoo!!!

Days Gone: Photo Mode

Hello, PlayStation fans! Now that Days Gone has officially gone gold, I’m happy to finally share details about Bend Studio’s implementation of Photo Mode. The world of Days Gone includes a regular day/night cycle, as well as multiple biomes and weather types. We’re giving players all the tools they need to capture and share these breathtaking vistas and the unique sandbox gameplay moments Days Gone makes possible.

The vast Central Oregon wilderness is so beautifully crafted and rendered in Days Gone it’s easy to forget that you’re playing a game. Our aim with Photo Mode was to make players feel like they’re manipulating a real camera in the real world.

Of course, this includes features that people expect to come standard these days. From the Characters panel, users can toggle character and bike visibility as well as select from a library of facial expressions. The Frames & Presets panel hosts nine custom frames, several black frame shapes and sizes, Days Gone logo options, and 18 filter presets. The Lens panel lets players manipulate Field of View, Focal Distance, Aperture, and Film Grain. One of the first features we developed for Photo Mode was the inclusion of Focus Lock, which allows users to set a permanent focus point that stays sharp no matter where they move the camera.

But the pièce de résistance is our Advanced Mode where users can fine-tune their final shots by manipulating 55 different settings across Bloom, Color Grading, and Color Depth Grading panels. We worked closely with members of our Art team, including some Hollywood veterans, to help define the essential properties to capture all the power and flexibility that comes with professional photo editing software. This is the very same interface our artists used to author the filter presets that ship with the game. Players can even use one of our presets as a starting point to learn how Advanced Mode works, then use it a baseline to creating their own filter that can be saved to one of five preset slots for easy reuse later.

All of this will be available at launch. Everyone at Bend Studio can’t wait to see the pictures the community creates starting April 26!

Not my type of game never cared for Zombie's but I am interested to see how this does being that Sony bend is not like the most while known Sony first party studio. That first photo in that photo mode thing looked pretty realistic.

Re: Days Gone

Every game should have a photo mode.

Re: Days Gone

Damn that was beautiful!

I still don’t know if I’m picking this up on Friday... I have The Show and The Division 2 to keep me busy for a long time.

I already have it pre-ordered and will pick the game up Thursday night at 9pm EST at GameStop. Love that they release the game at 9pm as opposed to midnight because if it was midnight, I would just wait until the next morning when the store opens.

Needless to say, im super hyped!!! My most anticipated game since E3 2016 is just five more days away!!!

Review embargo is Thursday April 25th at 5AM PST/8AM EST. I'm expecting at least an 85+ on opencritic.

Re: Days Gone

I have a question, do we have a camp or settlement to build up thru progression?

Anything like that in this one?

As far as I know, there's multiple camps that are connected to there own story and missions. Not sure if you actually build them up or not. I'll let you know Friday.
