GR:
"Like watching professional wrestling or wearing a cravat, there’s something about Dying Light I’m compelled to defend. It has obvious problems, but many of them are eclipsed by the simple joy of braining zombies with shovels. It’s unoriginal, crude and frustrating, but it also lets me dropkick monsters onto spikes. Most of all, it’s a pleasing reminder that not every game has to be a $200 million sequel. And, just as Socrates probably said, we need the B-movies to appreciate the blockbusters."
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!’
This is what I can't understand: GR is another reviewer that scored Dying Light lower than Dead Island. For gods sake - HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? Is there any other Dying Light on the market?
Yea I'm confused too, I bought Dead Island and Riptide day one and I love both of them but I love Dying Light more since its a smoother Dead Island with way way less bugs and more stuff to do in it. Also the parkour is amazing, after playing 8 straight hours, I honestly felt like I could go out and climb shit like in the game.
Everyone has their own idea of what is considered a "spoiler", but in my opinion, that review is full of them.
Maybe not the "plot twist" kind of spoilers, just the little bits and bobs of how things play out that you are better off experiencing for yourself.
I quit reading it within a couple paragraphs before he got to a mission I HADN'T done yet.
