A remaster of Bend Studios’ Days Gone is seemingly being hinted at by Jordan Middler of videogameschronicle.com.
In the event you’re considering “wait, didn’t Days Gone simply come out in, like, 2019?” then you definately’d be utterly proper. The action-adventure sport that includes biker-turned-zombie-killer Deacon got here out in 2019 and already has a PS5 patch that allows the sport to run smoother.
Nevertheless, that apparently isn’t sufficient to cease Sony from remastering it. Simply the opposite day insider Jeff Grubb was discussing the Horizon Zero Daybreak remaster that appeared on the ESRB web site. In the course of the chat, Grubb commented that he has heard the upcoming PlayStation State of Play, which is itself not formally confirmed, will characteristic “another remaster” that may “be even much less thrilling” than Horizon.
This set individuals speculating about what remaster Sony could possibly be engaged on, however one particular person appears considerably assured that they know precisely what Sony will announce. Enter Jordan Middler, a podcaster and author for VGC.
Responding to a tweet targeted on Grubb’s revelation, Jordan replied, “If he was indignant that his character is in Astro Bot, he’s going to lose his thoughts at this.”
Jordan’s remark is making enjoyable of John Garvin, the artistic director of Days Gone who was fired from Bend Studios. Garvin has earned a moderately dangerous fame since his departure from the studio, typically closely criticizing his former crew, Sony, reviewers and extra over Days Gone’s comparatively small degree of success.
Only recently, Garvin railed towards the lead character of Days Gone showing as a cameo in Astro Bot, tweeting out: “Haha, I see my character decreased to a cartoon schill selling some small sport and I’m being harsh? Sit down, my brotha, adults are speaking”
Middler’s remark is aimed squarely at Garvin, but additionally strongly hints that the upcoming remaster shall be for Days Gone. If true, it will be a baffling choice by Sony, as a result of why hassle remastering a sport that’s solely 5 years outdated? I really cherished Days Gone, however I don’t really feel any want for a remastered model, though a part of me hopes that if its true it does exceptionally nicely so {that a} sequel can lastly be made.
Plus, you’d assume if Sony are keen to throw cash at remastering a comparatively new sport like Days Gone, why wouldn’t they spend that cash on re-releasing one thing like God of Battle, a way more commercially and critically profitable sport? I can solely assume somebody at Bend Studios has a silver tongue to drag this one off, if it seems to be true.
