Well was poisoned.
jason schrier covered it.
Game development was troubled and went on way longer than anticipated. Missed all types of internal milestones. Was over budget as well.
there were internal issues with Sony bends former management, that led the game. They are no longer there.
the game was a mess at release and reviewed less than what they would’ve liked.from all accounts the game that people are playing today was not like that at release due to bug fixes and content additions.
yes the game sold well but it also received multiple price cuts very early on. Like a couple months after release it was 40 permanently. Then shortly after it could be had for 20.
Sony turned down a pitch for a sequel but planned to put them on an uncharted game, to keep them working. Bend turned it down and pitched a new ip instead. Sony gave them the go ahead.
so, here we are.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about. GOT sold 8 million at the $60-70 price. While Days gone was instantly put on sale for $20-30. GOT also came out the same time as LOU2 and had to compete with that masterpiece and still held its own.
but its no dying light

I couldn't get passed the first hour. The controls were horrible and the physics engine was weird. It was a good concept with poor execution.

Why is he crying on Twitter like a bytch
Who is asking for one tho? I absolutely never see a movement pushing for one from ppl, other than the odd journalist.
I liked that game, it was an underrated game. I thought that game was whack until I played and this game is dope.

I'm playing Days Gone rn and I'm liking it
I put on a podcast while I'm playing, and occasionally turn down my podcast to pay attn to the cutscenes.
The gameplay loop while repetitive is enjoyable to me, it's very similar to HZD(I know same engine) and I like clearing out camps.
game being a buggy shytshow at launch didn't help.
but selling that much and not getting a sequel is weird IF true. Woulda gave them a chance to improve on the fukkups.
Quality over Quantity I guess

I would rather a new IP

It seems like people only started liking the game once that bloomberg article came out that painted the creator as a victim at sony. That game was straight up clown shoes since release and even stans threw the towel in on it.
I honestly just don’t think sony needs two major zombie games in its catalogue right now which is probably a big reason why they told them to make a new IP and its clear if one gotta go its not gonna be The Last of Us lol
This is like when a tv show no one was watching gets cancelled and suddenly theres a big online petition to save it
This game is free if you got a PS5
