Sony Bend neighborhood supervisor Kevin McAllister has apologised to the passionate fanbase constructed round PS4 favorite Days Gone after he feels the neighborhood was lent “false hope” by deceptive feedback from the studio’s former employees members and a misleading headline from an outlet reporting on these tweets.
John Garvin, the previous director and author of Days Gone, responded to queries from the sport’s neighborhood earlier this week about the opportunity of a Days Gone sequel. It is already public information Sony Bend is now engaged on a brand new IP, however Garvin responded by saying he and Jeff Ross (additionally previously of Sony Bend) had a “full define” for a sequel, and even supposed to show the collection right into a trilogy. Garvin claims to have had a “script, define, map [and] idea artwork” for a pitch earlier than he was let go by Sony.
The actual fact Sony determined to not go forward with a Days Gone 2 was detailed in a Bloomberg report in 2021, as an alternative choosing the crew to work on one thing new. That is widespread information amongst hardcore Days Gone followers, so what John Garvin needed to say wasn’t significantly stunning. “Perhaps in a few years when the IP is gathering mud and so they’re positive they’re completed with it, they’d license it to different devs… however once more, not holding my breath,” he hopes.
Nonetheless, the place the issue lies — and in the end why the present neighborhood supervisor felt the necessity to apologise — is with a GamingBible headline that picked up Garvin’s feedback, and easily learn: “Days Gone trilogy plans confirmed by developer.” Suggesting the present Sony Bend employees has extra Days Gone titles in manufacturing, neighborhood supervisor Kevin McAllister believes the “false hope” lent to followers is unfair.
He tweeted: “I apologize to our Days Gone neighborhood for constantly getting fed false hope and poor info by individuals in search of likes. It’s not honest to you all. We’re presently engaged on a brand new IP, and when now we have precise information to share it’ll come from our studio.” He then continues: “All these sort of headlines originate from earlier builders, which places us in a nasty place. Like I stated, individuals want likes. Time to maneuver on.”
John Garvin and Jeff Ross have spoken publicly at stunning size about what a Days Gone sequel might need appeared like, with mentions of a extra dynamic open world, swimming, and higher animals. Although, after feedback from Garvin about how the sport acquired a disappointing vital reception because of “woke reviewers”, the present Sony Bend crew distanced itself from the previous director.
As for what Sony Bend is definitely engaged on, neighborhood supervisor Kevin McAllister known as it the “finest Bend sport but”. What’s your tackle this? Share your ideas within the feedback under.
