Dying Light Developers Interview Sheds New Light On The Evolution Of Horror Gaming

As part of the next issue of their magazine, Skewed and Reviewed have posted selctions of their interview with the development team for Dying Light. The survival zombie action game is shaping up to be one of the biggest titles of 2014.

I have played it a couple of times and I liked what I saw. It is fast, intense, and brutal. The detail level of the maps was great and I am curious to see how the night combat will play out as I was only able to play two day scenarious at PAX Prime last Sep.

I liked how I could hack with a weapon or take a power hack and do some serious damage, but the speed was the biggest change from others like it.

How was it with bugs and other issues ? and one more question. When do you Think it will come out ?

Garethvk4497d ago

What we played was controlled and limited but it did not seem to have any big issues. I had thought it was coming in April but based on the interview and some other things I am wondering if Fall is more likely. I could see them doing some polish and such to show it off at E3 in June and launching soon after.

Meltic4497d ago

Cool thx for the info. You answer better than Tymon does. Ive asked him a few question about the game but he rather not tell me much. My game store is keep telling me that april is more likely a release date. But Watch dogs is coming then meaby so i Think dying light will prob wait until Watch dogs announce a date.

Garethvk4497d ago

You are welcome. Mind you I am just guessing but it is not unheard of for games to change release dates as you know. When I worked for some publishers years ago it all depened on many factors. I know one publisher who did not care that the game did not work properly and had issues, they said it was past time and over budget and shipped a game that nobody in QA would even sign off on as stable.

Others have said ok, we are going to wait and keep polishing it to make the best possible game we have as the extra time and money are worth it.

Warner Bros is the big money behind it so I think they will be smart and wait as the last Batman game while good, did not get the response they had hoped and I think they see Dying Light as a potential big franchise and want to take their time.

Now of course developers will always wish they had more time and money as they always can find new things to include but so far so good from what I have seen and played.

I knew holding off playing it for 10 years was the right call.

ocelot07340d ago

I remember playing this for the first time on the PS4 and it knocking me sick and hurting my eyes due to the horrible motion blur and FPS.

Played it a lot on pc a year later. Then again on ps5 once they dropped the 60fps update. I'll be giving it another go. Mad how they have kept updating this game for 10 years.

Ten Years Later - Still Going Strong: Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26

Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.

It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!

But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.

Nobody bought it for an obvious reason.

Gamingsince1981470d ago

Wtf did this edition come with ? A real helicopter and a real zombie virus ?

Vithar470d ago

For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.

LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’
