I haven't played Days Gone but Deacon St. John is a ridiculous name for a protagonist.

Great protagonist though. You should play it. It is a great game.

I do own it, it's just one of those one's I've always meant to get round to but haven't. I had never heard his name though until that article

I got the game on release, didn’t warm to it but returned to it last year and was hooked, it’s a fantastic game and it sucks we’ll never get a days gone 2.

Some of the criticism is definitely warranted but jeez I had a lot of fun with Days Gone. Unfortunate news.

Great news but the damage is done. Beginners and anyone who wasn't far progressed into a project have jumped to UE and Godot.

A year after outraging developers, blowing up its reputation, and saying goodbye to its CEO, Unity decides 'Runtime Fees' are a bad idea so it's getting rid of them

The circle is complete.

Speaking of Day's Gone...

Days Gone Is Reportedly Getting a Remaster

It seems like the other 'not-so-exciting' PlayStation remaster to be announced shortly might be Bend Studio's Days Gone.

Horizon Zero Dawn is getting remastered too...they are taking the piss with these remasters lately

Wait so PS4 games are getting remastered?

Wait so PS4 games are getting remastered?

Yes. And if the article is correct even the PC ports are listed for remaster when they only launched on PC much more recently and already look great and scale well with desktop hardware.

Just hurry the **** up and give us a NFSU and NFSU2 remaster. <10 year old games don't need a remaster.

If anyone is following the Ubisoft share situation there are some interesting conspiracy theories. They range from the CEO/family or minority shareholders like Tencent deliberately tanking the company to buy back more shares cheaply to the activist investors recently calling for the company to switch to private to prevent any buyout (this one is less conspiracy but activist investors are often layoff enthusiasts and honestly Ubisoft couldn't get any worse right now). AC Shadows launch is going to be interesting.

Full marks to them for responding to the replies. TL: DR version

“We fully acknowledged that our other game didn’t meet expectations and we refunded everyone. Now we simply want free money so we can make another game that won’t meet expectations”
