Zombie Action Development Leader Days Gone John Garvinwho previously left the team Sony bend, became a guest on the creator’s internet podcast God of War David Yaffe, where he commented on recent publications about the cancellation Days gone 2…
According to Garvin, according to his own observations, the reputation of new PlayStation games is of paramount importance to the current leadership of Sony. In this regard, a good Metacritic score is valued much more than a high sales figure.… Unfortunately, Days Gone is not considered “good” – 70 is not enough.
“A Metacritic score is the most important thing. If you lead a major game and it ends up getting a score of 70, then for the foreseeable future [Sony] will not let you into the franchise anymore. Everything here is like in Disney – you just can’t make a bad film, even if a lot of people watch it.
And I totally agree that the responsibility was solely on us: on me, on Jeff, on the entire Sony Bend team. We had to create a project that would resonate with a wider audience. We could have avoided a number of mistakes that we got into through our own fault, “he said.
At the start, some Western journalists criticized Days Gone for being too “traditional” by modern standards, and the main character – a white man. But Garvin thinks that was not the problem with the game.
“It’s not even about political correctness, compliance with modern norms, pleasing fighters for social justice – that’s not what I mean at all. It’s just that when you create a product designed for millions of people, you need to make sure that it not only pays for itself, but also conquers a wide audience. which will allow the brand to grow further, “explained John Garvin in a series of comments.
According to Bloomberg editor Jason Schreier, the development of Days Gone was problematic and delayed. Sony was afraid of a repetition of the script and felt that the good sales of Days Gone were not a guarantee of the success of a possible sequel, which would cost even more. As a result, Sony Bend was commissioned to create a new franchise.
Premiere Days gone took place in 2019 at Playstation 4… In the summer, the project will go on sale at PC…
