"We were positively surprised at how much fun Techland has managed to get out of such a worn and overused motif. The story won't immerse you as much as it should, but that's perfectly acceptable in this sort of game. The storytelling is a step forward for the studio, even if it's not of the highest calibre; but it's certainly better than Dead Island and Riptide before it. If you've still got a thing for zombies, you should definitely give Dying Light a shot (preferably in the head)."
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!’
For everyone that played the game. Would you recommend it?
If you liked the rpg elements in the dead island series, you will enjoy this. Parkour mechanics are fun and night time is scary. Story seems interesting so far. There's lots of crafting and weapon upgrades. I'd give it a shot.
I love Zombie games so I am a bit biased, but I would recommend it if you have people to play it with. Single player isn't bad, but it is definitely made for co-op. Also, they are similar to Dead Island (made by same developer), though this is a bit harder (read: easier for the zombies to kill you). Parkour is a major game element and it appears to take a lot of influence from Mirror's Edge.
I bought the game for PS4 on Tuesday and haven't even got to play yet. My 27 yr old son can't quit playing it. I've watched him play and it looks really fun. The graphics are nice and clear too.
this game is worth a shot if anyone has doubts.
