Absolutely AWFUL PlayStation Take - Days Gone Director SEETHES at Astro Bot

Garvin would be whining just as much if Deacon had been left out of AstroBot.

[@No-oneImportant42]

They should patch him out and do a serious apology to him, lol.

[@GhostsLuvBooffets]

Did Days gone get the short end of the stick? Yeah, it kinda did. Does that warrant such a petty response to another games success? No

[@crazychase98]

Very much so

[@joesoprano74]

The amount of fun I'm having playing the game and watching my kids enjoy the game totally justifies the price tag.

[@Nathan-Croft]

How does Days Gone promote Astro in this context? It's exactly the other way around

[@MagnificantSasquatch]

"Cartoon shill to promote a small game" My brother in christ, you are deluded. Days Gone left no impact on the industry whatsoever. It cane and went and barely anyone noticed. Astro Bot meanwhile is exploding, is a much more robust and complete title to begin with, and if anything is promoting _your_ small game.

[@flying1dead155]

Days gone has been my go-to game for the last couple of years . The real problem was 3 fold 1. Red dead 2 came out before so every one was burnt out on huge open worlds and it didn't borrow enough from read dead two alot of people wanted to be able to store a gun on the bike make a campsite in the open world Have more survival mechanics and an outfit system. And 2 . The woke of us :the last of the bigot sandwiches part two . Was about a year away everyone else was riding that hype train mock 9 straight into a Joel in one . 3. The performance issues at launch and gamers from the hard-core to the most casual tourist still listened to the mainstream uralists saying in unison" not another gruff white male" singing that sweet baby inc tune opening the flood gates for the woke garbage . And let's not forget youtubers who didn't even play the game dismissing it as another generic zombie game . I played rdr2 after days gone . And I'm old enough for the woke of us to have not been my first" adult themed" game of a Father's struggle to save his daughter from a nightmarish hellscape (silent hill 1 ) . And if astrobot is supossed to be a huge celebration of all these Sony i.p.s. where are the concord astrobots ? After all they belong in this grave yard of Sony memberberries

[@monochaos9442]

I get being upset that the game you were a creative director for isn't getting a sequel anytime soon and is basically otherwise ignored, I really do. That's so frustrating. But that's no reason to take it out on other studios who love the game as much as you do and I really hope that if, by some miracle, Days Gone gets a sequel that it gets a new creative director rather than that whiny cumstain.

[@ooze1982]

I mean Astro Bot with all the cameos is a reminder that there are many games we will never see sequels or remakes like Days Gone, Ape Escape, etc. Sony wanted Concord and see how that went

[@ricthiamevans8980]

Days Gone does deserve a sequel. I don't think the character's appearance in astro wasn't meant to belittle it. But as a celebration. However considering what sony has been putting out this generation, a sequel to days gone would have done better than these live service games. Sony has way too many IPs to have such a dry first party generation.

[@inabearsuit2425]

10 to 12 hours is fine. Games don't all need to be 100 hours. I'd prefer a good shorter game than a 100 hour slog through nothing but the same shit over and over

[@ardy6241]

Someone tell this man that if he’s so pissed about not having Days Gone 2 he should have been a better director.

[@ajflink]

Knowing that The Order 1886 will probably never have a sequel stings a lot. However, I have come to accept that. That game director is acting like a Ken Penders. Don't be a Penders. If you don't know who that is, he is basically the poster boy of narcissism.

Resident Evil 7 and Village could be beaten in less than 5 hours but no one complained that it was short. Astro Bot is one of the only games that i have play that has hardly any bugs or glitches. Modern games need to be more polished before it gets released. Game companies need to hire people by their skills not by their race, gender(sex) and what they identify as.

I STILL hope one day Sony will give us sequels to Days Gone.

[@bilbobaggins7527]

On Steam, Days Gone is rated Very Positive with 92% of 61,652 Steam gamers who reviewed it giving it a thumbs up. I pre-ordered Days Gone and played it day 1 and got the Platinum, and I loved Days Gone despite some of the PS4's limitations. Days Gone and all those who wanted a sequel got shafted by a few idiots who made the stupid decision to cancel the sequel. I would be pissed too if I was the director of Days Gone and the sequel was canceled...and then later on Sony supposedly "honours" the game by having Deacon in Astro Bot. Those responsible for cancelling the Days Gone sequel deserve the anger and animosity the director has for them and Sony for not supporting a sequel.

[@uberbyte7467]

How do you not know? Sony revealed that they never even got a days gone 2 pitched, it was the STUDIO that declined to make the sequel because the director was hard to work with

I can already imagine him complaining if the game was actually successful and Garvin instead complained he didn't get a series exclusive level.

[@marvelsProtege]

He's talking shit Days Gone sold more than most games it's close to 10 million

[@No_Envy_777]

John Garvin should be happy that his IP and character is getting recognition in Astro Bot instead of viewing it as a slight. I guess that's what ego does to you.

[@RpgAddict325]

I think Days Gone director should be pissed off about what happened and not getting a sequel, but sometimes you just need to not speak your mind publicly because you come across as a asshole.

[@dragondelsur5156]

Garvin is acting like a spoiled baby here, it would be worse for Days Gone to not be represented at all than the contrary. Plus, it's kind of funny that Deacon is found next to the rapping tree. I wouldn't be surprised if he is the reason PlayStation rejected the idea of a sequel.

[@proggz39]

Bruh no wonder they cut this guy off. Any normal person would take the L and move on

[@davida.8709]

Make days gone part 2 on ps5 hardware to shut up the criticism. Bend studios turn away from making a second part, Not Sony! Sony wanted to continue if bend studios were on board. But years back, everyone thought that Sony didn't want to work on anything else. 🤔 it's been 5 years since the release of days gone... still waiting for something to be announced.

[@aftabbukhari]

As a person who was not caught up in the pre-release hype of Days Gone nor in the genre, I can say it not only surprised me pleasantly, it became my favorite game of the ps4 generation followed by Ghost Of Tshushima. I can further say no game of the current generation engrossed me as much, although Lies of P and FF7 Rebirth are both amazing fun. Spiderman 2 and GOW 2 were definitely epic, but were more like Cinematic bull runs that didn't really compel me into a 2nd playthrough. Sony did Sony Bend dirty. If the game didn't hit the expected sales, maybe Sony should also consider how they are marketing their franchises, and waste less resources on other things like overpriced VR and Pro models. Astrobot is great, and I'm glad I purchased it day 3, but compared to the full fledged worlds of Days Gone and Ghost, it's a lovely palate cleanser and fun tech demo. My point isn't that one should replace the other, but that the collection of these Sony Exclusives is what wins me over the years.

[@SkyIslandEaston]

Only downside is that we need more

[@mucknstrunz]

john garvin should shut the f up since days gone was great but its story , which garvin is responsible for, was by far the weakest part of it. Days gone 2 yes please. Garvin as narrative director. Please no. Get better writers. This guy is a bad writer there are way better people in the industry

[@jessie6769]

Days Gone director is one of the big reasons why people were slightly turned off from playing it because of his tweets from what I recall. Plus, people were also tired because Sony was promoting the game too much. Basically it suffered a Deathloop situation where people grew tired of seeing it.

a game's value isn't tied to how long it takes to beat it. If that were the case, all Ubisoft assassin's Creed and far cry games would be worth $200. I doubt anybody would argue for that. astrobot is better in 10 hours than any Ubisoft game is in 100 hours, and that is just a simple obvious fact. by the way, how long does it take to complete Mario 64 or other games of the ilk? I bet you could complete it in 10 hours or less easily

What people doesn't get when talking about this game is that for players outside of the US, there's not much to relate to, character wise or story wise. He's bland and doesn't have global appeal. The creator must think otherwise but riding a bike in uninspiring locations wearing the cap backwards is not the epitome of coolness as he believes it to be.
