I hope notvery good number, maybe we will see sequel later in ps5 lifetime or as psvr2 game
Good number for a new IP, but not good enough for Sony to allow Bend to make a sequel I guess.
John Garvin was fired after it shipped.Then why did you two leave the studio?

Jeff Ross quit, most likely due to his obvious anger with Hermen Hulst and Sony producers.
And worse yet - still no Knack 3.Death Stranding recently sold 5 million as well. Absolutely insane management by Sony not greenlighting sequels for these two games right away. Had they begun dev on those games right away they wouldve already been in dev for 2+ years with a potential release maybe next year. now, we are looking at 2025 at best from both Kojima and Sony bend.
I remember when they greenlit an Uncharted sequel even though it sold 111k in NA in its first month and topped out at 650k. Now, 5-10 million isnt enough. 100+ goty awards for Death Stranding isnt enough. Absolutely shocking display of incompetency by Sony's upper management. And I am looking right at Herman and Jim here. They both took charge around 2019 and thats when these decisions were made.
It sold a LOT of those units at full price though. He also said it's done around another 1 million on PC where it isn't cheap either. Pretty sure this is a case of Sony caring more about the Metacritic score than the sales. Fucking reviewers complaining about dumb shit in Days Gone like "Oh why are all the zombies white?" Really pissed me offIt was heavily discounted though. I think its problem was too many units were made to be sold at full price. It didnt move and they had to sell them at a loss. I saw it selling as low as 12 CAD
The games made by Kojima and Bend will be much better than Days Gone 2 and Death Stranding 2. Sony made the right choice. All of their open world big budget for graphics games will sell. That doesnt make the games greatDeath Stranding recently sold 5 million as well. Absolutely insane management by Sony not greenlighting sequels for these two games right away.

Gruff white male who likes to stare at his wife's ass and with an actual testosterone level was too much to handle for some reviewers.It sold a LOT of those units at full price though.

Man this is one game that is somewhat of an exception to that rule though if you play all the way through.I liked it, but didn't get crazy far in it. Was super impressed early on but then the feeling didn't really last.
I feel like it ended up feeling like it suffered a bit from Open-World-itis.
That's my main problem with some of these Open World games. Cool concepts but then they end up feeling too Ubisoft-y?
ghost isnt on pc, while days is on pc.Cool, but it outselling Ghost of Tsushima is a crime.

I swear that gamespot reviewer killed the game along with other journalists who couldnt accept the fact that bikers would make ass jokes about their wives. That wives could joke with their husbands and have playful banter. The game had an interracial fucking lesbian couple. The fucking biker protagonist had a bisexual love interest who happened to be called Nikki fucking Patel. Patel! How is that game not woke enough for these people.That’s sad that local management made it seem like a disappointment, freaking meta critic and soy boy journos
No one is woke. Its just a façade these journalist keep, in order to run their business.I swear that gamespot reviewer killed the game along with other journalists who couldnt accept the fact that bikers would make ass jokes about their wives.

It's a shame because the story and characters ARE well written. Deacon's character development is way more subtle and understated than Abby and Ellie's. He's indifferent and callous in the beginning yes, but who wouldnt be in that world. I loved how they dont make a big thing out of the big reveal in the middle of the game and both characters slowly learn to trust each other again. In another game, they wouldve flown into each others arms like a Twilight novel. Even the ride my like your bike line is BRAVE writing because the writer knew the payoff wouldn't come until late in the game, and he decided to leave it in there anyway. And while the youtubers were posting it out of context, I was laughing at the payoff. Thats great writing to me.
Yes, the game had bugs. Yes, it's not as good a first game as horizon or ghost of tshushima but it is by no means a bad game, and the gameplay was straight up fantastic. It's insane that they had to even pitch a Days Gone 2. It shouldve been a simple greenlight. Go make a next gen version of it. Simple. But instead, they forced out the writer because of internal politics and forced them to pitch an Uncharted spinoff which ND kept rejecting. All because some moronic journalists didnt think the game was woke enough.
What a shitshow.
100% if Days Gone had a Black lead character none of them would've complained about any of that.Gruff white male who likes to stare at his wife's ass and with an actual testosterone level was too much to handle for some reviewers.
Fuck videogame journalism.
You'll always find someone unhappy with every game but many, many people who actually PLAYED it through to the end really enjoyed it. It has very positive user reviews on Steam. Reviewers likely played a part of it and called it a day. Right after they got fed up with all the zombies being white and Deacon looking at his wife's ass.It wasn’t just the critics shitting on the game either.
Yeah at launch reception was brutal although of course you have to factor that not everything is genuine. Tons of people just want certain things to fail.Revisionist history where days gone is now a great game that no one made fun off with memes, joked about its horrible metacritic scores, considered it an unplayable buggy mess on launch and joked about how horribly written it was.
Just like how i expect the concern over it not getting a sequel isn’t genuine.Critical reception was the major disappointment that killed the chances of a sequel, not the sales.
But tbh I prefer they're doing a new IP, many other Sony studios are doing sequels, new ideas are always needed and obviously Sony certainly isn't going to stop doing Spiderman or God of War. Days Gone was the obvious weak link.
