One of the surprises of E3 this year was the PlayStation 4-exclusive Days Gone. It got more details revealed on the North American PlayStation Blog.
SIE Bend, who have changed a ton since one of the biggest flops of the nineties (Bubsy 3D), will focus on two factors in this game: survival at all costs, and crafting. „Desperate people do what desperate people need to do to survive,” says Ron Allen, creative director of the game. „In most open world games, when there’s danger, it’s usually because you’ve brought it on yourself. Days Gone is a dangerous world — always.”
The main character of the game was previously part of a motorcycle gang, and his experiences with this team helped him survive. Still, Deacon St. John is going to be an anti-hero. „He’s a dangerous guy. He’s using his skills where he can — his appetite for violence and mayhem help him excel at his job.”
The experience wouldn’t be full without his bike, which was changed largely from its initial form. „There’s no way you’re going to pull off jumps or cross the kind of terrain you saw here on a Harley-style bike.” It’s also going to be able to hold a few items in case your inventory is already full!
Deacon St. John’s story (which made him a broken man) doesn’t have a release date yet – we can’t wait to play Days Gone, though!
