Dying Light was one of the best games released in 2015, but it flew under the radar because of a very early release date. These are the reasons why We The Nerdy writer John Newby thinks Dying Light is fantastic.
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!’
Dying Light didn't fly under the radar- it was all anyone could talk about for a solid month.
I don't think anyone stopped talking about it except to complain about RE Revelations 2 which was like a full month later, and then Bloodborne, I think, was one of the first games to completely take the wind out of its sails.
So yeah, 10-11 months later, we're no longer talking about it- who would have thought? I think that says a bit of good about how we had some big releases post-February of this year.
I love this game, still playing it now. Just on PC rather than my PS4.
This WAS one of my favs for 2015. Love the game,even purchased the season pass,BUT then I hit an unforseen snag - I ran out of day time missions! Yep, can't get any further with this now game for two reasons. Every attempt at a night time mission leaves me dead within minutes -I simply can't avoid, and don't have the means,to defeat the night beasties.This would be something I could overcome eventually I guess except, I cannot stand anything to do with stealth in games.Love rpg elements, but if I had known for one second stealth was involved at any point it would have been an avoid for me. I'm so hoping that, either they make night missions easier OR the new DLC will do away with the stealth elements. I really miss this game, but there you have it. Just my opinion.
