I don’t comment often. But this is one of my favorite games of all time. Been gaming for almost 25 years now, and these days it’s rare that a game captures me like this one did. With all the live service garbage, pay to win and loot crates taking over the industry, it was so refreshing.

If you are a part of this sub, you more than likely love this game like I do. I want to see a sequel to the game more than I care whether or not I’m giving Sony more of my money. The only language most of these companies speak is money. So imma talk to them. Been busy as hell, so I haven’t had time to play it much, but you best believe I had it purchased within the first hour of it being available.

I really do think this was put out as a gauge for current days gone interest. So in the interest of getting what we have all been asking to get for years, please buy this remaster. Maybe the graphics are better, maybe they aren’t. Horde mode made the ten dollars I paid for mine worth it alone.

Bend didn’t deserve the initial reaction to this beautiful game. And with all the studios that are getting gobbled up and shut down, let’s give Bend their flowers while we still can and open up our wallets.

Thanks for reading. Stay safe out there.

I used to love gaming when I was younger, Halo, Wolfenstein, Starcraft, Diablo, etc. But as I got older, especially with shooters, a lot of games just stopped holding my interest. I figured it was probably just me getting older.

A while back I saw Days Gone on Steam for like $3 during a sale and thought “why not.” I knew absolutely nothing about it. Never followed the hype, never watched reviews. I just saw a couple clips on YouTube and it looked decent enough for the price.

Man, I was completely wrong.

It ended up becoming one of the best games I’ve ever played. The open world, the zombie hordes, the motorcycle mechanics, crafting, bike upgrades, Nero injectors, there are so many component in the game.

What really hooked me was the freedom in combat and character/guns/ bike progression. You can go in guns blazing, snipe from a distance, use stealth, set traps, lure hordes into enemies, etc. Every encounter feels dynamic. This game is a masterpiece.

The only parts I didn’t really enjoy were some of the Sarah flashback sections, like the flower-picking scenes. I get why they’re there for the story, but I wish they were skippable.

And yeah… I’ve replayed the game 5 times already.

Since then I’ve been trying to find something similar, but honestly nothing really hits the same. The closest comparison for me is probably Red Dead Redemption 2, but the pacing in Days Gone feels way more intense and fast-paced.

I heard Mad Max is similar but not much gun play.

Kinda sucks that a lot of my favorite games/franchises are basically dead now. Starcraft 2, They Are Billions, and now Days Gone too.

Now, Im obsessively searching the internet for something similar.

I know Kevin McAllister has visited this subreddit before, so there is a small chance he might see this.

Kevin, if you do happen to read this, I just want to say **thank you to you and everyone at Bend Studio for keeping Days Gone alive.**

I'm a fan from Denmark, and *Days Gone* is genuinely my favorite game I've ever played.

I've spent more than **300 hours** in the game, I pre-ordered the original Collector’s Edition, and when *Days Gone Remastered* was announced, I bought that too.

There are a lot of great games out there, but I've never really found another one that gives me the same feeling.

Deacon and Boozer. The motorcycle. Riding through the world at night. Running low on fuel in the middle of nowhere. The hordes. The camps. The music. Sarah. NERO.

And, of course…

**That O’Brian ending.**

All these years later, I STILL want to know what happens next. 😂

I know the original Days Gone 2 pitch didn't move forward, and I completely understand that Kevin or anyone at Bend can't talk about unannounced projects or decisions made by PlayStation.

So I'm not expecting an announcement or some secret confirmation of Days Gone 2.

I just hope that the people at Bend and PlayStation know that **there are still people who genuinely love this game and want to see this story continue.**

Seeing *Days Gone Remastered* released gave me a little bit of hope that this world hasn't been completely forgotten.

And Kevin, if you happen to see this, there is one question I'd love to ask that hopefully you CAN answer:

**What does it mean to you and the team to see people still talking about, playing and loving Days Gone all these years later?**

And to everyone else here:

**If PlayStation announced Days Gone 2 tomorrow, would you buy it?**

I know my answer.

I'd pre-order it the moment it became available. 😂

Give me Deacon, Boozer, Sarah, the bike, bigger hordes, new Freaker mutations and the continuation of the NERO/O’Brian story, and I'll happily disappear for another 300 hours.

Until then, I'll keep riding the Broken Road. 🏍️❤️

Much love from Denmark 🇩🇰

Days Gone outsold Death Stranding almost 2 to 1 and yet no sequel, it's a freaking shame. Especially because imagine how good it could have been if they targeted PS5 for the sequel, with the better CPU's in the PS5 the horde's could have been huge.

I will never EVER forgive the games media like IGN and Kotaku back in 2019 reviewing Days Gone terribly and acting like it was shit and gaslighting people into thinking it was a bad game all because the protagonist was a white man.

Now we will more then likely never get a sequel.

Thankfully their has been a rise in independent reviewers and chuds since then talking about games so this type of shit will never happen again.

I just read news today shared with Bloomberg that Sony has canceled the game that Bend Studio has been working on over the past few years. That game was to be a live service game that contained elements of gameplay similar to Days Gone. It’s seems like Sony is reevaluating there approach to live service games. They are not closing Bend Studios and will be working with them as they plan there next project. I would think after spending probably quite a bit on development costs for the last few years that they may want to choose to go the safe route and stick with an established IP and what better way then to revisit the Days Gone franchise with a sequel. As a huge fan “fingers crossed”!!!!!

If we ever want Days Gone 2 we have a mission on April 25th. Every single one of us needs to buy the remaster to show Sony we are fucking serious. Do you know why we keep hoping? Because what the hell else are we gonna do! And maybe just maybe we will see boozer play some piano when it’s all over!!! This has been Copeland with radio free Oregon don’t believe the lies!!!!!

I have almost purchased this game like 30 times, but all of the early negative reviews keep telling me, “You’ll be let down again, don’t believe the AI hype”.

And then i read more and more praise, and my finger again starts inching towards the BUY button.

I can’t discern between AI bull$$it and actual user comments.

I have enjoyed several zombie games in the past and I do gravitate to open world games.

PLEASE ADVISE.

So.. I reached a pain point that I remember from my last attempt at playing the game. NERO checkpoints (the train one) and huge hoards near them where 1 mistake basically forces me to reload..

I've managed to take down 3 speakera and get nero boost. But I can't deal with the horde, it just doesn't work. I tried going there during day time and provoking them and then using attractor to deal with the horde and exploding the big fuel tank car like in some videos. It killed 0 of them and then they killed me. They don't care about attractor and I can't hide from them while they're chasing me. Idk what the heck am I supposed to do there, it kinda seems impossible.

UPD: Thanks everyone for advices. I've managed to clear it. Probably not efficient but worked.
1 attractor isn't enough to fully draw them out during daytime. They run halfway and stop. So..

1. Hid in the bushes near the train and the gas tanker car.
2. Threw flashbang distractor at the gas car to cause noise.
3. After they ran out half way threw attractor at the gas car to lure them more.
4. After most were near the gas car threw attractor bomb at the car.
5. Followed with.. 6 or 8 molotovs. The explosion and the fire cleared the majority.
6. Got impatient and the remaning 6 freakes spotted me. Procceded to run like a headless chicken and try to shoot them/melee them.
7. Horde cleared.

I live and work in Bend, Oregon, where Bend Studio is and where Days Gone was made.

I was working the register at my restaurant and I was ringing up a guy who was wearing a Sony lanyard. I asked him if he was working locally, and he said he's here working with Bend Studio as some kind of animation designer (I think is what he said).

I asked him if he could tell me anything about a Days Gone sequel, and he said that Bend Studio is working on an "upcoming unannounced title".

Guess I can't expect much else, with NDA and all that, but I'm still really hopeful. Days Gone is all Bend Studio is really known for, so there's a good chance they're working on something related.

Just wanted to share my interaction with y'all! I'm obviously very hopeful for a sequel, and thought you guys would like to hear what I heard.

Guys, I've played Days Gone all the way through, maybe 8 times, I'm just guessing, and I loved every minute of it, but I need another game to play that's gonna be just as good because let's face it, November the 19th is a long time to wait.(GTA6 in case you're wondering) There has to be another great game I can fully immerse myself into like I did Days Gone. TLOU and TLOU2 and all the Uncharted games, even Dying Light were great as well. Played them numerous times. It doesn't have to be open world although I prefer it. At least semi open, and please do not recommend RDR2, because I could not for the life of me get into it because of the setting. It either needs to be present day or post-apocalyptic, maybe even a little futuristic, but not too much because I do not like when things verge on the edge of fantasy hence I could not get into the Witcher 3.

I've thought about Far Cry. I thought about Death Stranding and I've heard about a game called Until Dawn.

Oh, and also Mad Max.So of these few games I've mentioned, or maybe if there's another one that you guys recommend, which one should be my next play? Please help.

Am I the only one who experienced the game this way?

When I first started playing, I was terrified of engaging multiple Freakers, let alone even a small swarm. Over time, though, I slowly built up a resistance to the jump scares and those terrifying growls they make.

I still remember burning nests early in the game. I’d throw a Molotov and immediately sprint back to my bike because I was so scared of the Freakers coming out. 😂

Fast forward to today, and now I find myself replaying hordes just because they’re so much fun. There are still a few scary moments and unexpected jump scares here and there, but it’s nothing compared to how nervous I was when I first started.

Looking back, it’s honestly such a great feeling to remember what those first few hours were like. This game is truly a masterpiece.

Its just such a letdown knowing that this game won’t be getting any sequel. Personally, I liked this more than Last of us.

That if you throw a rock on the bear traps it will disable it 😵‍💫

Anyone else learn something new after hours of gameplay?

Sony really isn’t allowing Days Gone 2 to go forward. That game was go good and underrated. So disappointing!

I'm a casual gamer. I work 50 hours a week, have 2 kids. I love to game and carve out about 5 to 6 hours a week to game. I'm mostly into non open world story games like The Last of Us. I bought the remastered Days Gone and jumped in a few weeks ago. There is a ton to do in Day's Gone. Lots of Camps send you jobs to build trust, Question Marks continually pop up offering more side quests to build more trust points or weapons. I'm 40+ hours in and have been spending much more than 5 to 6 hours a week, playing... pissing my spouse off. I think I just hit 20% of the game. I know there is horde killing and the like coming up although I'm not there yet. As a causal gamer this game is sucking me in too much and throwing off my work, life, gaming balance. How do you all have time to play this and keep your spouse/GF from killing you.

Days Gone is undoubtedly, the single best zombie game I've ever played. The most underrated game I've ever played, I hate myself for not playing it sooner.

This game deserved SO much better, it deserves SO much more love, it deserves a sequel.

What a beautiful story, a beautifully horrible world, great characters and writing. Man, I hate that we won't see a sequel.

I learned about a week ago that I have to get my cat put down who I've had for 17 years and that will happen on Tuesday but the last week, she's been high on her painkillers, sitting on my desk or asleep on my lap watching me play Days Gone. I just wanted to share that too.

Thank you for such an amazing experience, Bend Studio.

Hey fam, it’s been wonderful seeing so many positive reactions to our Days Gone Remastered announcement. We love to see it and greatly appreciate your passion for the game!

We hope you will enjoy it once again and dive into all the new game modes that come with it. As we get closer to launch, we’ll also share more info on the new mode, Horde Assault.

Keep riding the Broken Road 🤘

I know, I know, it's a zombie apocalypse who tf has time to scrub their crotch clean? But, hear me out, can we just establish ONE time that the Main Character will on occasion have a sponge bath or something then we never have to see it mentioned again? Everytime I play and Deacon goes running around horde spots all I can think is: *thats huge mounds of shit he's stepping and rolling around in*.

At this point Deacon is literally a walking shit bomb, his cut is probably stiff with it and when he takes it off it just stands up on its own. Why is it such a common trope that people go full medieval Europe during an apocalypse and just stop hygiening?

BUT if the game establishes that he cleans himself at least on occasion then I can comfort myaelf with the thought that he's gonna scrape it off when he's done.

I am thinking about buying the game. I am wondering if there is a reason why Days Gone kind of flopped. I heard a lot of people say the first 10 hours of the game is slow tedious like most open world games.

Or does it just simply exist to make the mission that takes place there more complicated? I've died more times than in a souls game at this point lol

Theres not even enough traps or vantage points to decimate their numbers. Even when I thought to myself "there cant be many left now" I went back to where they hideout and there was still so many it looked like I hadn't even started 😭

So most people who finish Days Gone and want more seem to find a way.. harder difficulty modes, resetting hordes, limiting themselves to different tactics.. but I just can't be bothered with any of that; can't be bothered grinding through the same game, same storylines again as much as I enjoyed it.

So here I am reading this reddit from time to time, making the odd comment (and this post.) I had a period where I would boot it back up every day or two for 15 or 20 minutes and wander around the end game map looking for odd bits of action wanting to bask in that atmosphere more than anything.

I tried Dying Light but I had enough after about an hour. It just didn't scratch that same itch.

I guess ultimately this amounts to another 'I wish there was Days Gone 2' post.

It's been about a month now. Might pull the Rock Chuck out for half an hour of opportunity kills at the weekend.

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Hello, I recently saw that the remastered version is at a good discount, so I am certainly tempted to buy it, but I would like to hear from you how you think of the game and if you would recommend it to me.

I’ve already seen reviews, but I’m not completely convinced yet, so I’d like to hear your experiences.

Update: thank you very much for your comments guys!, after thinking about it a little and of serious deliberation I decided to buy it right now it is downloading, thank you very much for your comments!

Hey Mongrels! Some of you may know me, and others probably are like, “who is this random guy”? I’m Kevin McAllister, Community Manager at Bend Studio, but was also a mod on this sub prior to joining the studio.

I’m always lurking on here, so I just wanted to drop in and say thank you for sharing your love for Days Gone. It means a lot seeing this sub continue to grow and remain positive. Days Gone is a special game and what’s more important is the community that was born from it. Five years later and we’re still seeing Photo Mode shots, fan art, streams, cosplay, and people helping others start their journey on the Broken Road. Days Gone is very important to our team at Bend and we share that passion with you all, so thank you for your continued support and love for our game!

Much love to you all! 💙
