Days Gone kommer tættere og tættere på udgivelse, og vi havde chancen for at sætte os med Bend Studios Eric Jensen i løbet af E3, og her fik vi spurgt ind til spillets miljø, hvilket ligger tæt på Jensens hjerte, da han er Lead Open World designer på projektet.
"As you're progressing through the game you're going to see more and more of [the freakers], and you're going to have a better chance of actually taking them on. They're part of our open world" fortalte Jensen.
Disse såkaldte freakers er "part of the ecosystem, just like everything else. And so you can be just driving around and stumble upon them and if you're not quite ready for it you're options are to try to take it on and risk losing, or you can just take off and come back later when you have more supplies and you've upgraded some of your weapons."
Jensen fortalte også om, hvordan spilleren kan have en effekt på verdenen omkring sig. Ikke bare ved at interagere med NPC'er, men også ved at takle fjender:
"There's different camp leaders that have different motivations, and there's different jobs and job types that you can get from camps. That's some of the more [...] static stuff" fortæller Jensen. "The rest of the world is dynamic and living and reacts to Deacon, so as you take out what we call 'infestations' - these are kind of hotspots of the freakers where they can nest - you'll see the environment and an area start to change and adapt. So where previously where it was infested with freakers, you might start to see humans showing up."
Days Gone udkommer eksklusivt til Playstation 4 d. 22. februar. Og som sidenote, så bør det også blive udgivelsesdatoen for Anthem, Crackdown 3 og Metro Exodus. Så vi får noget at lave i februar.
