Ok, I'm sold on Dying Light. Going to have to go by Gamestop and grab a copy for my Xbox One!

Glgh4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

You know, it won't be a GOTY candidate but I do have a lot of fun playing it.

gangsta_red4042d ago

I'm not concerned about any GOTY, let the fanboys fight over that, but I want to play a game that I personally find fun.

It can win the GOTY....of my heart ;-)

ZombieKiller4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

Co-op. It does co-op the way I wish EVERY game did it. Separate unlockable items, separate lootables so we aren't fighting over the same stuff, yet we can still explore as much as possible. All players see the same cutscenes but only when everyone is at the goal, not to mention the warp option to actually GET there. Just awesome.

I hope more single player games follow this formula!

Bobby Kotex4042d ago

More games need co-op matchmaking. This reminds me of Borderlands 1 and 2 which are much better with other players.

TrollsBringer4041d ago

lol, don't. You'll get it used.

I've been playing it non stop on my PS4. Such a beautiful and fun game. The gameplay is very satisfying. And I like how they took advantage of the PS4 controller's speaker, like when you pick up loot or if you're using your radio or turn on your light, it all comes thru your speaker. They also used the touchpad for navigating menus and stuff. The light bar even lights up super white when you turn on your flash light. These little things add such a nice effect and makes it that much more immersive. Plus it's full HD on PS4, so that's a plus. :)

CorndogBurglar4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

Nice! I was expecting more games to make use of the speaker in the controller of the PS4. I'm kind of disappointed more games haven't yet. Maybe in the future.

But thanks for all that info. I'll probably be picking this up this weekend. Bubble up for you!

Stopher924042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

You're gonna love it! The gameplay is my favorite part. It's so fluid!

Ozmoses4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

Seriously for anyone on the fence.

Dying Light is incredible..

The parkour and traversal around the city of Harran is pretty seamless. The crafting works on the fly meaning you don't have to go anywhere specific to craft something. You can craft items anywhere.

In this day where the "majority" of games are broken on release. I can firmly say the the Co-op element works perfect. I just finished all the Co-op related trophies last night. http://psnprofiles.com/JayB...

A lot of people are saying Dead Island/Mirror's Edge because of the parkour. But I never played Mirror's Edge. It just feels natural playing the game (I'm on PS4).

I personally think there is a FarCry vibe throughout the game also. The overall presentation of the main menu and the main character actually talking and the background menu music.

I've put 16 hour into it so far and I think I'm 15% story completion and 22% overall completion. I've just been dicking around. But seriously anyone that wants a true to true zombie killing game should get Dying Light.

Be Careful at Night. Points are doubled but so is the risk.

Stay Quiet!

GusBricker4042d ago

Night gameplay is the true definition of survival horror.

Ashby_JC4042d ago

Thx for spoiling something. Avoid reading #5 if your like me and haven't played the game

Glgh4042d ago

Lol, it literally happens as the game begins. Even before you get to gain control of the character. That hardly counts as a spoiler.

levian4041d ago

It's literally the first three seconds of the intro video. You're not missing out

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

ocelot07238d 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

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?

Nobody bought it for an obvious reason.

Gamingsince1981367d ago

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

Vithar367d 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!’
