Dying Light: Making Zombies Fresh Again - IGN First

IGN - Until very recently I thought of Dying Light as little more than the free-running zombie game from the studio that made Dead Island. And while parallels can be drawn – an exotic location gone to hell, brutal melee combat, copious loot, and legions of the peckish undead – so much of it feels fresh. Some exciting new mechanics and a darker, more sinister tone suggest Dying Light might succeed in carving out a new space in what is a crowded sub-genre.

are they aiming for 60fps on consoles?

Relientk774176d ago

I just Googled: Dying Light 60fps

and they are indeed aiming for 1080p/60fps on consoles

Dannycr4175d ago

I played the demo at E3 on a Xbox One and it was definitely 60fps

kingmushroom4175d ago

nice, hey did you get to play during the night? i find it freaking terrifying.

Dannycr4175d ago

@kingmushroom

Unfortunately no. It was a timed demo (since the game is pretty much freeroaming, it had to be timed) so it was daytime only.

I did want to play the night part because of what they say (that it is harder and the monsters are way tougher)

Dannycr4175d ago

This is encouraging. When I played the demo it felt exactly like Dead Island, perhaps the same setting could fool you into thinking that. I'm glad that there is more to it. I want to experience the nighttime

CorndogBurglar4175d ago

Im really excited for this game. I loved Dead Island and didn't experience nearly as many glitches as others did, but it was still nit withiut its flaws.

I hope this game delivers.

medman4175d ago

I completely slept on this game. I didn't even realize it was releasing Jan. 2015 until a few days ago. It's looking really good, and with The Witcher and Bloodborne moving out of February leaving The Order as the only true big AAA in Feb. I can think of, I'm definitely considering picking this up when it launches.

Meltic4175d ago

look pewdiepie he have already a copy of the game. here is a gameplay footage from him https://www.youtube.com/wat... Looks same as dead Island. You help people and doing quests but better graphics

Dannycr4175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

I played it at E3 and it felt EXACTLY like Dead Island including the setting, except that it ran REAALLY SMOOTH (60fps) and the parkour made it more interesting to traverse. It seems that it may have some other stuff to separate it from DI.

Meltic4175d ago

When you played it on e3 did it look better then or now ?. From my perspective it looks waaay more polished now than in 2013

Dannycr4175d ago

It looked really nice back then, but the area I saw pewds playing looked better.

In these open world games, there are areas that look better than other for different reasons (not graphical) . It does look better, but back then it also looked nice.

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

ocelot07318d 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.

Looking Back At The $386,000 Dying Light 'My Apocalypse Edition', 10 Years Later

Nobody bought it for an obvious reason.

Gamingsince1981448d ago

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

Vithar448d 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!’
