Strip a man of his humanity, his compassion, his intellect, his notion of fear, and you have the animal we've always been. We bury it deep down under the guise of civility, but it’s there, slumbering gently. Roused only when we hurt, when we feel anger, when we release our rage. You see, it’s the constant reminder of what may come of us when we seek to defeat the unbeatable, death. Our fascination with immortality, to circumvent the order of life, may, one day, be our undoing. And while we may yet close our fists around the prize of longevity, of surpassing our forefathers as we live for centuries, for millennia, we may fail to see that we are being stripped of the very things that make us human. That while we may think of tightening that grip ever so much around the thought of eternal life, we may simply be throttling the last vestiges of our humanity and realize that we have finally become the animal we've always been.
The Retouched update for Dying Light that improves graphical features has been released; here's how it compares with the Enhanced Edition.
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.
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.
It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?
Wtf did this edition come with ? A real helicopter and a real zombie virus ?
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!’
I hope that whatever Techland is doing with Dying Light, that it doesn't end up being a repetitive bunch of nothing like Watch Dogs. Hopefully, they'll keep it simple; Missions/quests, killing zombies, running from zombies, open world.
