The first new property to get a major announcement was Days Gone from SIE Bend studio. I wasn’t entirely sure how to digest Days Gone. On one hand it feels like a retread of previous settings and ideas. Post apocalyptic setting? Check. Zombies? Check. Grizzled and cynical white dude for a main character? Check. Honestly for a quick second I thought we were getting an announcement for The Last of Us 2. The minor twist is that we seem to be dealing with World War Z style fast zombies and the game seems to be taking advantage of the current gen’s power to generate some truly large zombie hordes. Whether the game can do enough to really stand out remains to be seen.
