The game is super mediocre to me and very unpolished, but a second game would be interesting since it has potential. It's kinda fun for a while but I lost interest after maybe 15 hours. A far cry from the quality of God of War, The Last of Us (1 and 2), Horizon etc. If a second game got more polish, care and attention from the developers (and maybe a higher budget?) it could be great!

 

[nullpoynter]

All I can say is you have my sincerest condolences for your bad taste.

Everyone likes different things. It doesn't mean one person's likes are bad taste just because you disagree with them. I'm sure there are games that you like that I don't. That doesn't mean I'm going to say you have "bad taste" though.

 

[Manwithoutfear]

lmfao. maybe dark souls to pc everything else was planned way ahead. who asked for days gone on pc?

i beat days gone on my ps4 pro and i promise i was begging for it on PC. PC is way more powerful and would have been able to enjoy the game the first time through at 60fps. bring all Sony games to PC!

Do people actually like this game or is it just another fuck you to The Last of Us: Part 2. I much rather get a sequel to The Order 1886.

 

[BattleScar]

They might, it just won't have the same budget if it does happen.

 

[Fake]

Pretty much every game loved before TLOUS2 now is just fuck you TLOUS2.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Days Gone actually isnt that bad.

Ultimately the gameplay is just fun. If I was Sony, I would just replace the zombies to "The last of Us" infected. Set it outside the united states. Make it co-op.

 

[bitbydeath]

Do people actually like this game

It's the best open world game of last gen which will hopefully show other devs how to make large open worlds interesting.

 

[99Luffy]

No.
I feel sony is developing an EA like rep for being anti developer but really theyre at their worst when theyre too lenient.
We got 2 resistance games that should never of happened, Killzone really should not have been a franchise at all. Infamous was an average game when it came out and it got 3 super average sequels. No more second chances Sony.

 

[iorek21]

It's pretty obvious that Days Gone 2 will happen

 

[CaptainConlock]

Doubtful because the main guys already left the studio and the team is well underway on working on a new project. Maybe much later down the road but it's still very unlikely.

 

[FatKingBallman]

Nope.

Game Of Throne producers didn't listen petition for Remake which had around 2 mil. signatures. Sony will listen because around 35k signatures? Naaah

That was a false rumour.
They've been working on an undisclosed open world game since 2019, that alone debunks everything Jason said.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Since when petition are working ?

 

[DaveTheSnake]

Really enjoyed the game on PS5 with the PS+ Collection.
Signed....LFG

Red Dead Redemption II

More people buying the game would have sent a stronger message.

Red Dead Redemption II

That was good with the dynamics used such as road blocks and releasing the prisoner but Days Gone took it further making it so there was always something unpredictable that would occur on your journey.

I loved how the world felt really hostile and dangerous in Days Gone, and how I had to constantlty watch out for threats but at the same time I feel like RDR2 went the extra mile in regards of making the world feel like it was really alive with all that wildlife and the random/scripted encounters. I hope we'll see Days Gone again in the future tho. Just imagine what they can achieve with UE5.

 

[Krizalidx11]

Yeah, who wants another Walking Dead game?

I don't recall animals attacking enemies in RDR2 but they did in Days Gone. You could even attract a horde and have it tear through an entire camp. RDR2 had nothing like that.

Yeah, they can attack NPC's in RDR2. I honestly don't remember if I ever used the horde thing to clear a camp, I don't know why. Have to try it in my next playthrough. And now that you mention it, I'm kinda curious if I can use predator bait in RDR2 to attract a bear or a cougar and see if it kills some O'Driscolls.

Why do people care so much about this game all of a sudden?

 

[odhiex]

The gameplay was decent, the story was quite good, the horde mechanic was awesome. I have finished the campaign, enjoyed it, but I don't think I'm going to miss it if it does not continue.

I would rather see them working on a new IP.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Oh for fuck sake

GAF ??!!

 

[CitizenZ]

imagine a deeper crafting/ loot/ exploration world. SIGN ME UP!

Is this petition going to make Days Gone 2 reality, is Sony going to listen to this voice?

 

[Kumomeme]

Sony Bend Studio's New Game is "Open World", Also Features Vehicles

Sony Bend Studio has posted a number of new job listings for an upcoming game after Days Gone 2 was cancelled.

This project was probably canceled in last december because the two new writers who joined Bend have left in december.

Tom Dibble - Screenwriter: HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL - Catalyst Pictures | LinkedIn

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Signing fucking petitions to get a sequel to an Ok game with the petition count at 50 000.

So this is what life is like in the onion.

 

[SlimySnake]

Tom Dibble - Screenwriter: HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL - Catalyst Pictures | LinkedIn

this was the uncharted game according to Jason.

 

[killatopak]

It's a 60 hour open world game that you can keep messing around in endlessly. It's also FILLED with tonnes of unoriginal cookie cutter gameplay elements. Why do people want a sequel to this straight away?

Let Bend work on a new IP, improve their game development skills, and then that way if they do end up making a Days Gone 2 it'll be significantly better.

You mean like Assassins Creed and every other open world game?

Even if that were true it would still go against Jason's report.

 

[Mokus]

The story sucked big time in the first game. So I'm not really convinced for a sequel unless they can deliver something considerably better.

 

[Keihart]

Whatever mismanagement they had before their new IP can't be fixed now, i don't see anything good coming out of them going by back to Days Gone right now, lots of talent related to the first game left and the team has already started production on a new game. They would only lose time and be less creatively free.

 

[Kerotan]

I think it's better if they make a new ip for say 2024 and then late gen around 2027 Days Gone 2.

 

[Zeroing]

Will Sony listen? not sure

I think with this uproar some gaming devs will start making zombie games and biker games because it seems there's demand for it.

 

[rofif]

Lol people really want days gone 2 without garvin and with multiplayer focus? Lol

 

[Gamezone]

We: How much did Days Gone sell?

Sony: Millions.

We: But 40, 000 people signed a petition.

Sony: What the hell were we thinking? Get the Days Gone 2 development going right now.

 

[Ryu Kaiba]

Is there a list of gaming related petitions that ever did actually work?

Yes,
it is as follows:

 

[DForce]

To the petition?

No.

But they'll likely consider it if it sales great on PC.

 

[xrnzaaas]

More people buying the game would have sent a stronger message.

but not on day1 like John Garvin wants you to. I'm glad how Days Gone turned out eventually after all the big patches, but the devs shouldn't have released the game in such an unpolished state in the first place.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Before you sign, ask yourself: Are you part of the problem?

 

[EDMIX]

It's pretty obvious that Days Gone 2 will happen

The fact that Sony is putting Days Gone on PC, sounds like what Jason was saying was very exaggerated. I just don't see Sony putting more money, in a IP they are not expanding. Its like how we all knew Horizon Zero Dawn was getting a sequel when it hit PC and months later we got a announcement of a sequel.

I think the reason why ALL of Bend is not working on Days Gone 2 is because Unreal Engine 5 is not done yet, ND new IP is deeper in development and needs more help.

Sony has no reason to announce a sequel out of no where simply to please people, MOST companies don't do this. So they likely have it planned, but they are correct to not address a fucking rumor like this.

Folks might as well argue Sony isn't doing Spiderman anymore and be like "new rumor bro, Spiderman 2 NOT HAPPENING, sign this petition to get it worked on" and or "WHY WON'T SONY TELL US SPIDERMANY 2 is in development bro?"
