[E3 2018] Extended ‘Days Gone’ Gameplay Demo Explores the Freaker-Infested Open World
Ahead of E3 we were treated to the release date trailer for Playstation 4 exclusive title Days Gone, which will be releasing on February 22, 2019. Today brings a brand new open-world gameplay demo out of E3 this week, introducing you proper to main character Deacon St. John and the “Freakers” he’s tasked with fending off.
With insight from the developers, the demo paints a clear picture of the gameplay experience.
At its core, Days Gone is about survivors and what makes them human: desperation, loss, madness, betrayal, friendship, brotherhood, regret, love – and hope. It’s about how even when confronted with such enormous tragedy they find a reason to live. Hope never dies.
Play as Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter facing a brutal struggle for survival, searching for a reason to live.
The House of The Dead fans have a new rail shooter to dive into with Alex Rassloff‘s MEATHOOK, which will be launching on Steam on July 21. If you can’t wait that long, you can check out the demo, which features seven of the game’s 10 levels.
This survival horror FPS sees you being captured by a mysterious cult, which has killed your partner and suspended you from a conveyor mechanism like a piece of meat. Making matter worse, you’re now forced to partake in a collection of ritualistic challenges, collecting weapons and cleansing the tunnels of cultists that are looking to carve you up.
Sporting throwback PS1-style graphics and gore, MEATHOOK also features a tactile physics-driven weapon system as well as a unique manual reload feature. You navigate the small interconnected levels by selecting markers to move along the conveyor that takes you throughout the levels. You’ll be stocking up on resources such as food, ammo, keys and guns.
For added replay, there are multiple paths to discover, as well as a few shortcuts. There are also secret items to discover for the completionists in mind.
