Days Gone – Sarah & Deacon's Wedding trailer

[Philly Cheesesteak]

The more I see this, the more I’m getting a Zombies meets Sons of Anarchy vibe and I’m starting to like it.

 

[CaptainKashup]

Days gone got me really hyped lately.
You can feel that Sony Bend pour their hearts out in this game, it's their baby and I really hope it's gonna do well, they deserve it.

 

[Riderz1337]

Game is looking better and better each time we see it. That slight delay did wonders!

Looking forward to playing this.

 

[OrdinaryPrime]

Why did he just drop his picture?!

He probably went to the church to say goodbye and move on from love to hate.

2 and a half months left, can’t wait to see what they can crunch out at release. Wonder if it’ll give me time to announce DLC plans

Also World War Z is releasing like a week before this. Zombie horde overload

I know I'm a pedantic jerk but these aren't zombies. They aren't dead. They're more like the creatures in I am Legend the movie.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Yeah.

Found the picture in the screenshot thread tho:

🤔🤔🤔 talk to me bend

 

[OG_Thrills]

 

[Loudninja]

That was a good transition into gameplay which I think was the shotgun blast.

 

[Lulu]

You basically insulted me so what should I say again?

Lmao, I'm wrong? Just look at your post history. Even since the gaf days. Come on bro, stop.

 

[Bear]

Take the hat off, jabroni

 

[VideogameVices]

What's up with the animation on the priest? lol. With the weird hunching over and the weird mocap on him.

Also the guy Deacon looks like an actor... can't quite recall the show but some sorta scifi one.

there's some last gen jank to the animation but other than that it looks good?

Actor is Sam Witwer.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Good Trailer. I'm a bit more interested then I was.

 

[OrdinaryPrime]

Loudninja is into Sony games, but you shitting on him or her isn't cool. They never shit up threads, they're just enthusiastic and excited. Come on.

Take the hat off, jabroni

Maybe they didn't render the top of his head :)

 

[Zacmortar]

I brought up fridging when they announced this but the thing is, they don't show her dying. They only show him missing her. There is no reason she didn't just leave him for whatever reason. I hope that's what they go for honestly.

It's interesting you bring up The Last of Us since it kills a woman in the beginning of the game as a vehicle for how the main character acts for the remainder of the game. I kinda call that fridging.

She doesn't have to be dead to be fridged. Just locking her up/her left doing nothing offscreen the entire time and him being angsty is still fridging.

Even if theres some big twist and she becomes a huge constant on screen presence for most of the game, the marketing still exploits the trope to paint their main dude as a "troubled yet deep protagonist" which is a problem itself

 

[nolifebr]

I'm sure that if TLOU were released today, it would be completely destroyed by some.

"A generic father who tries to raise his daughter alone, I already saw this story 1000 times" - "They are killing women just to give motivation to the main character"

 

[Nokagi]

Game looks good. I probably won't be able to get it on release date though due to MK11 taking my money but I do want to play it eventually.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Lmao, I'm wrong? Just look at your post history. Even since the gaf days. Come on bro, stop.

How is this shit even allowed

 

[Memento]

Holy hell

It looks simply incredible

 

[VideogameVices]

I am really impressed at the facial animations.

It is REALLY good. Especially for an open world game.

re: facial animation - i have the exact opposite impression. It looks bad and sort of unnaturalistic.

 

[JessePJ]

Ya’ll need a little bit more faith, I’m sure Sony Bend has a plan..

 

[VideogameVices]

Actor is Sam Witwer.

yeah lol. yeah, that's who I was thinking of.

 

[SuikerBrood]

That's a good trailer.

I'd play this if I had a PS4. For sure.

 

[TransEuropaExpress]

Take the hat off, jabroni

I really hope he has a full-blown mullet under that shit.

 

[Nightengale]

Lmao, I'm wrong? Just look at your post history. Even since the gaf days. Come on bro, stop.

You are wrong.

People have the freedom to be fans of what they want and make threads and post they like within the rules of the forum, and last I remember, being fans of something is not against the rules or even any semblance of normalcy.

 

[vestan]

You can tell some people really have nothing to say when they focus on what he is wearing to a biker wedding of 4 people.

I mean, what else do you want us to talk about? This wasn't exactly a 10 minute deep dive gameplay breakdown on the game's complex systems. My man looks like a tool wearing what he wore to the wedding, this is coming from someone who actually likes his design. No need to get so defensive over people discussing what they see lmao. Anyways, game looks great. Bend really don't disappoint.

 

[Memento]

re: facial animation - i have the exact opposite impression. It looks bad and sort of unnaturalistic.

Give me 1 example of an open world with better facial animations

 

[Yog-Sothoth]

I mean, it's a bit unfair to judge a game based on dark/wet surfaces but damn this looks really good.

 

[OrdinaryPrime]

She doesn't have to be dead to be fridged. Just locking her up/her left doing nothing offscreen the entire time and him being angsty is still fridging.

Even if theres some big twist and she becomes a huge constant on screen presence for most of the game, the marketing still exploits the trope to paint their main dude as a "troubled yet deep protagonist" which is a problem itself

Pretty sure in order for it to be fridging she has to be killed. Fridging is usually criticized because it takes agency away from women. So if she leaves him of her own volition, it isn't fridging.

This is all rather pointless as we won't know until we play the game. I'm just hopeful Bend doesn't kill her.

 

[Riderz1337]

Lmao, I'm wrong? Just look at your post history. Even since the gaf days. Come on bro, stop.

Are you accusing him of working for Sony or something? Do you ever see Loudninja shutting up threads with negativity like you are doing right now? No. Let him be enthusiastic about the things he likes. Go away with your negativity.

 

[Yog-Sothoth]

I'm sure that if TLOU were released today, it would be completely destroyed by some.

"A generic father who tries to raise his daughter alone, I already saw this story 1000 times" - "They are killing women just to give motivation to the main character"

Sure, but TLOU also gave us one of the best female characters in gaming, who is also the protagonist of the sequel.

 

[TheInfinityGauntlet]

According to the dialogue from the Game Informer videos she got on a helicopter and he didn't. Now Deacon believes she is dead but hasn't seen the body so from that we could assume the helicopter got destroyed. This leads me to believe that she could still be alive and probably crash landed somewhere.

Oh wow I didn't know that, that's cool, she's definitely alive then

 

[VideogameVices]

Give me 1 example of an open world with better facial animations

that's a cutscene. and it looks odd.

 

[Memento]

I'm sure that if TLOU were released today, it would be completely destroyed by some.

"A generic father who tries to raise his daughter alone, I already saw this story 1000 times" - "They are killing women just to give motivation to the main character"

It was destroyed when it was announced back in 2011

"Cant believe ND is making a generic zombie game"

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Ppl have judged games graphics from a screen shot from YouTube on a Nokia flip phone....you good

Death isn't the only way to take away agency from women

 

[Kalentan]

Oh wow I didn't know that, that's cool, she's definitely alive then

Yeah basic rule of stories. If you don't see a body, it's likely they're alive.

 

[Loudninja]

EH just leave it along you dont seem me caring what people think of me,I enjoy games thats it!

Oh wow I didn't know that, that's cool, she's definitely alive then

Yeah he apparently keeps going to a refugee camp looking for her. SO I dont think he actually seen the chopper go down.I am guessing he was told.

 

[OrdinaryPrime]

Sure, but TLOU also gave us one of the best female characters in gaming, who is also the protagonist of the sequel.

Indeed, it still doesn't change the fact that Sarah (ironic) is fridged within the first 15 mins of the game :/.

 

[Bear]

I really hope he has a full-blown mullet under that shit.

I hope he's completely bald except for the hair on the outer ring.

 

[Yerffej]

Give me 1 example of an open world with better facial animations

I mean I'm not gonna say this looks anything but great in that department, but doesn't RDR2 beat it?

 

[Marcus Brutalius]

He's wearing a fucking base cap in church, during the wedding ceremony?!?! I'm by no means a religious person, but what savagery is this? Pre-order intention cancelled!!!

 

[Zacmortar]

I'm sure that if TLOU were released today, it would be completely destroyed by some.

"A generic father who tries to raise his daughter alone, I already saw this story 1000 times" - "They are killing women just to give motivation to the main character"

Last Of Us was one of the early Dad games and was still unique at the time for it in the AAA space, and killing off female characters isn't as awful when nearly half the cast is women, including the actual main character of the series, Ellie.

 

[OléGunner]

Looking really damn good!
The polish to this game has been immense imo. Really hope the story comes together nicely.

I'm sure that if TLOU were released today, it would be completely destroyed by some.

"A generic father who tries to raise his daughter alone, I already saw this story 1000 times" - "They are killing women just to give motivation to the main character"

TLoU was raked over the coals at announcement at the old forum.
Generic, lame zombies game, "not maa naughty dog", edgy, boring post apocolypse etc were a few of the choice things I recall.

 

[OrdinaryPrime]

I mean I'm not gonna say this looks anything but great in that department, but doesn't RDR2 beat it?

I would say so but I'm not an informed person when it comes to facial tech. If people are expecting RDR2 levels of polish they're going to be disappointed as far as the animation front goes. I just hope the game is fun to play and there are interesting things to do in the game. As far as the story, I really don't know what to think.

 

[Kalentan]

I mean I'm not gonna say this looks anything but great in that department, but doesn't RDR2 beat it?

I feel like RDR2 imho is a mix bag when it comes to facial work. Sometimes it looks good, other times it looks really stiff. Never bad mind you but nothing that blew my mind at the level of intricacy.

 

[blackmass]

Men don't wear hats in a goddamn church!

I really hate everything about this game.

 

[OG_Thrills]

Holy hell

It looks simply incredible

It looks unsettling to me.

 

[Yog-Sothoth]

Indeed, it still doesn't change the fact that Sarah (ironic) is fridged within the first 15 mins of the game :/.

Yeah I'm not disagreeing. Could have been a son and the result would have been the same

 

[Jeffram]

I mean, it's a bit unfair to judge a game based on dark/wet surfaces but damn this looks really good.

Agreed. I feel like this cinematography of the trailer was hit and miss, but these last few shots were 10s.

 

[Ricky_R]

Game has definitely become more of a looker now.
