blathering blatherskite!
if they marketed the game like this looking like this w/out the glitches, it would have been more successful critically IMO. It would have been an even bigger hit
I don't think Days Gone 2 is completely the window. Hopefully Bend learned from this and makes an amazing new IP
Bend could expand enough to continue their IP and convince Sony to make Days Gone 2 in the future. However, TLOU3 will Sony's biggest end of gen game and will be the face of the zombie genre for Sony. TLOU3 will most likely be linear in nature like part 1 and 2 but will have a lot more semi open world sections.
The old heads at the studio left after this game, the writer and both directors. They said they clashed too much with the younger programmers and staff they hired to make the game.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Bends next game is a lot better than this now that those dudes left.
