Days Gone is getting closer and closer to its February 22, 2019 release date, and the internet war continues to rage over whether this is going to be the newest Last of Us, i.e. an amazing tale with decent to above average combat, or just more of the same old, same old over the shoulder, third person zombie shoot em up we've seen a thousand times before, but this time with a vehicle you can upgrade, a la Mad Max (although it's a motorcycle, not a car).
Either way, this new trailer will probably not change any minds, but it does look pretty cool, and gives you a little more insight into the character of Deacon, or "Dek" as he's referred to. The game has a big open world, with day and night cycles affecting enemy behavior and strength, and of course, it will affect traversing the environment, as ripping through the night on a motorcycle has never been the safest choice. Combat has a good amount of crafting and customization to it, from traps to weapons, and the core of the story will focus on what it means to be human; desperation, loss, madness, betrayal, friendship, brotherhood, regret, love and hope. You know, human stuff.
We'll see how this whole thing comes together when the title releases at the end of February.
