DAYS GONE 2

[Terminator assasin]

I know that Days Gone 2 didn't work, but I have to say that it's the fault of the creators because it's really not enough for the main character to be able to swim in water. You have to polish the game and make a lot of improvements there to excite the rest of the players. You have to think of more things and also not to do so boring side quests. I liked the first one and bought it at full price. So improve the two to make the game worth it! I read that you put few new things in the double and that's why it didn't go through! Two must be better than one!

If Deacon could have swam in water, you'd be able to defeat entire hordes by luring them into the water, taking out the challenge of actually fighting them.

To be honest I would rather if the team focused a lot more on the survival and crafting aspects if there's ever going to be a sequel

[Marazipan]

What an odd take on game development. It takes years to develop a game, Sony's decision to not go ahead with a second game would not have been solely based on some early ideas the devs had if they got the go ahead for a second game.

It was a new IP, it didn't sell as well as they wanted, Sony decided to cut their losses.

We want more!

In my opinion Days Gone provides a really nice "Game" platform for a more open-world-multiplayer style game. Yeah its(Days Gone) a nice story if its your cup of tea and youre in the demographic. But it would be cool to just make your own character and explore the open road with people in your group, or randos you can group with at different camps. Have some special Motocross events people can just ride their bikes for fun at, etc.

Hell, could even take it a step further and have PvP servers where you can play as bandits or drifters. Lots of potential, but the only question big companies ask nowadays is "Is it profitable?"

Game was profitable. It outsold Ghost of Tsushima.
What hurt the game was 2 fold. The ps4 was too weak of a machine for the game(it shines on ps5 /pc) so its release was buggy and not up to Sony's QA for their products . The other is the game is it doesn't work for 'modern audiences'. It has a straight white male in the leading role that saves his wife and even dares to check out her ass which it was review bombed upon release for. Which might have Sony second thoughts with regards to a sequel.

Well I'm definitely inside the target demographic for the story aspect of this game, I'm just saying there is a good platform in Days Gone that could expand into a multiplayer game if the devs could work out the technical aspects of that.

Most games feature a straight white male as the main character. It's the same with movies and TV shows.

Issue #1 is no longer valid because Sony isn't really making games for the PS4 anymore.
Issue #2 could easily be addressed by having you play as a new or returning character of color.

For example, they could easily make the playable main character Rikki, then it would check all the obligatory diversity quotas at once by having the main character a Bisexual Indian-American Woman in a relationship with a Lesbian African-American Woman.

Problem solved, sequel when?

It's Sony. They saw they couldn't capitalize on making it into a TV series and moved on to something else. Review bombing had nothing to do with it.

I like Rikki as a character. I would be so down to play the sequel as her. And I didn't even really notice she was "non-white", nor cared that she was bisexual. When the story is good (non-preachy) and characters developed in a believable way, I have absolutely no problem with it. But then again, I actually like TLOU2 so maybe my opinion is skewed, lol!

A dev said the sequel would be out now since they had most everything built if it was greenlit when it should have been. Sony prob wont go back to this IP since the have TLOU to cover the zombie genre

Difference is game came out when corporate wokeness was in full blown fever mode. At the height of metoo.
