Being done with Syphon Filter, and having some successes with a Resistance spinoff and an Uncharted spinoff, Bend Studio got to work on Sony's next big PlayStation exclusive. We're going back to 2019 to take a look at an open-world action-adventure game. We're talking Days Gone.On this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we take a look at how folks at the studio just could get people to understand that this definitely isn't a zombie game, but how they also had to fight zombie fatigue in potential customers. We also discuss – in a rare move for us – some post-launch Days Gone news and some of the comments made by people who worked on the game.In our review, you'll hear some chat on more on-screen stealth indicators than anticipated (that are often irrelevant because they just repeat information you can get elsewhere); avoiding revving your engine; sneaking around enemies that may or may not see you; throwing rocks; a rigid and dull system when up against humans vs a more tense time when up against the Freakers at checkpoints; eavesdropping on very long NERO conversations; a steady-handed sniper rifleman; an unused crossbow; the Chicago Chopper, as seen in The Mask; the splat when an axe meets brain; placing traps and planning your attack on the first horde, 30-ish hours in; the joy of going for a ride on the Drifter Bike; a ludicrous amount of petrol and motorcycle enthusiasts; surprises on the road; the beauty of Oregon; the jobs are very samey, but the currency makes sense; collecting ears for some reason; a gigantic bear; using Gabe Logan espionage to get into an encampment; the sheer length of the thing; delayed story resolutions; cringey dialogue; a wedding; Courtnee Draper as Sarah Whitaker; the Syphon Filter connection; walkie-talkie woes; and Lewis Capaldi.After all that, we take you through what some of the critics were saying about the game around the time it came out, and then we give you our final verdicts on whether Days Gone is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those who would like to play along at home, we'll be discussing, reviewing and dissecting A Plague Tale: Innocence on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS

The James Gang originated in Cleveland, Ohio, and is best known as a power trio consisting of Jim Fox on drums, Dale Peters on bass (Tom Kriss on bass for their first album) and Joe Walsh on guitars and lead vocals. This Greatest Hits album captures work done on the first three James Gang albums where Joe Walsh is the principal songwriter and is front and center of the band.Walsh joined the group just prior to their signing with a record label. They produced "Yer' Album" in 1969. This would be followed by "James Gang Rides Again" and "Thirds." A live album would also be produced before Joe Walsh would depart the band in favor of solo work, and eventually join the Eagles.While the group would continue on for several years after Joe Walsh's departure, they could never recapture the sound or hooks that Walsh brought to the band. The James Gang disbanded completely after 1977, though occasional reunions and tours of the classic lineup have happened since then.Friend of the show and owner of Monkey Wrench Brewing, Wayne Baxter features this album for this podcast. Walk AwayHard rock, funk, and soul can be heard throughout this song. It was on the Billboard Hot 100, making it to number 51 in July of 1971 when it was out as a single off their third studio album. It chronicles a rocky relationship in which the girl doesn't really want to keep things going.Funk #49 This track was the first single of the James Gang's second album. The lyrics are about a wild girlfriend, but the core of the song is the instrumental work and Walsh's guitar riffs. The name follows a previous song, “Funk #48,” which appeared on the first James Gang album.Midnight ManAnother song off the “Thirds” album, this song has a mellower sound that hearkens back to the 60's. Mary Sterpka is the female voice brought in as a session musician for this track. The Bomber: Closet Queen/Bolero/Cast Your Fate to the WindThis complex suite from the second album contains original works and covers from Maurice Ravel and Vince Guaraldi. Ravel's will stipulated that “Bolero” was only to be played by full orchestras and threatened suit, causing many releases to exclude the “Bolero” section. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:The theme from the television series “Mission Impossible”The original television series made its exit in April of 1973. STAFF PICKS:Space Oddity by David BowieRob's staff pick is the opening track off Bowie's second studio album. It was released in July 1969 just prior to the Apollo 11 moon landing. After the success of the “Ziggy Stardust” album, “Space Oddity” was re-released and hit the charts in April of 1973. Little Willy by Sweet Brian brings us Sweet's biggest hit, peaking at number 3 on re-release as a non-album single. The writers, Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, wrote a number of rock songs including many more Sweet songs, Tony Basil's "Mickey," Tina Turner's "Better Be Good to Me," and "Heart and Soul" by Huey Lewis & the News.Desperado by the EaglesBruce features the title track from the Eagles second studio album. While this may be one of the best known songs from the Eagles, it was never released as a single. When Linda Ronstadt covered it later in the year, it drew more attention to the group. This was one of the first songs penned by the songwriting partnership of Don Henley and Glenn Frey.Hocus Pocus by FocusWayne Baxter closes out the staff picks with an instrumental prog rock masterpiece from Dutch group Focus. You don't hear too many rock songs featuring polka beats and yodeling. We're doing the shorter U.S. single version, but there's a 10-minute version for those who need even more Focus. COMEDY TRACK:Freakin' at the Freakers' Ball by Dr. Hook & the Medicine ShowThis novelty song chronicles a trip to a freaky party, and wraps up the podcast for the week.

Happy Friday! On today’s Daily Fix, Naughty Dog’s blockbuster, The Last of Us, is reportedly getting the remake treatment. However, like one of Days Gone’s Freakers, some bad news is lurking right around the corner. There will be no sequel to Bend Studio’s 2019 action-adventure survival horror game, at least not in the foreseeable future. There’s also been some strife among Sony’s first-party development studios, as devs have been moved around various Uncharted and The Last of Us-related projects. And finally, Sydnee shares her desert island movie recommendation and it’s all Presented by Movies Anywhere.

Set for release on March 5th, 2021, Alex Bleeker is adding another gem to his discography, in the form of an all new album called Heaven On The Faultline. You might know Alex Bleeker best from either Alex Bleeker & The Freakers or from him being the bassist in the indie rock band, Real Estate. He also works on his own on this self-titled project that we love just as much, which is why we were so incredibly excited to interview ahead of the release of this album. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wewriteaboutmusic/support
Apps and Tom Adkins (not Adcock) are here for more Games on the Grill. On this edition, Adkins shares his early experiences with Final Fantasy VII Remake and the lads offer a belated celebration for #DaysGoneWeek by grilling it. Apps is also ill, so he whinges a lot. A fun show as always so check it out! Final Fantasy VII Remake Available on: PlayStation Apr 10th 2020 Developer: Square Enix Genres: Action, RPG Description: A spectacular reimagining of one of the most visionary games ever, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE rebuilds and expands the legendary RPG for today. The first entry in a multi-part saga, delivering a level of depth inconceivable for the original. Mind-blowing story, unforgettable characters, epic battles and technical excellence collide. The world has fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet's very life force as mako energy. In the sprawling city of Midgar, an anti-Shinra organization calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their resistance. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra's elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the group, unaware of the epic consequences that await him. Days Gone Available on: PlayStation Apr 26th 2019 Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment Genres: Horror, Adventure Description: A Dynamic World Using the power of PlayStation 4 and Unreal Engine 4, Days Gone offers an incredibly realistic and detailed open-world action game experience. Vast and hostile environments can be fully explored on the back of Deacon's drifter bike. Abandoned vehicles can be searched for useful items. Towns and buildings can be entered and searched – at great risk. All lighting is done in real time – eye adaption technology creates a real sense of dread when entering dark buildings; day and night have an impact on the experience; weather affects enemy behaviour. Brutal Sandbox Combat Exemplifying true, free-form gameplay, Days Gone offers freedom to explore, strategize and play “your way.” Every challenge can be approached and completed in an almost infinite number of ways. Many different items and weapons can be crafted using items found in the field, including brutal melee weapons and traps. Customizable weapons and skills offer true freedom in how the game is played. Unique Enemies In addition to human drifters, marauders, and other groups, Deacon must face a wilderness overrun by Freakers – mindless, feral creatures, more animal than human but very much alive and quickly evolving. Freakers have needs, habits and behaviours that the player can learn and adapt to. Unique Setting The harsh high-desert of the Pacific Northwest offers a large variety of environments in a single geographical area. One-minute Deacon can be riding through a pristine forest, a snow field, a lush meadow, and the next, be in the harsh desert lava fields. The hazardous environments, scarred by millions of years of volcanic activity, are defined by ancient lava flows, mountains, caves, cliffs and river basins, delivering a breath-taking backdrop to an equally diverse style of gameplay. Cinnabar mines, lava tube caves and small rural towns offer a variety of environments to explore. - 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 Support this podcast ( https://www.patreon.com/dimpdigital )

Nos encaminamos al final de temporada a tope de jueguico. Un poco de todo y variado. Esta semana en el menú tenemos un triple A recién salido, un clásico de culto de From Software y una apuesta indie muy refrescante.No podemos empezar de otra forma que comentando novedades jugosas: se apunta a 2020 como fecha para la Next Gen de Playstation. Remedy ya nos ha enseñado algo de su nueva IP: Control, que bebe de las mecánicas de Quantum Break (Xbox 2016) para añadir, esperemos, algo novedoso que conecte con nuestras ansias de ciencia ficción de la buena. Mientras tanto disfrutaremos con Rage 2 que está a la vuelta de la esquina y le echamos un vistazo a lo que Valve nos ha dejado ver respecto a su nueva apuesta por la VR. Metiéndonos en harina arrancamos con Travol, que ha podido echarle unas cuantas horas a Days Gone y ratifica que hay cositas muy buenas en este título de SIE Bend Studio. Si te gustan los sandbox y los zombies (perdón, freakers), dale una oportunidad.En la abadía soplan vientos extraños, aunque parece que la magia negra no va a impedir que el Abad nos ilustre sobre un género que sigue muy vivo, los RTS (Real Time Strategy)RodoR ha tenido oportunidad de jugar a Katana Zero, el indie de Askiisoft que mezcla una porción de Hotline Miami (Dennaton Games 2013) con aromas de Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn, 2011) envolviéndolo todo en frenetismo y katanas.El Ms-Dos Mini está centrado esta semana en Dreamweb, una de esas aventuras gráficas con misterio, cyberpunk y un guión muy sólido con las que disfrutábamos hace años y podemos seguir revisitando a día de hoy.Finalmente, cazadores, ha llegado la hora de volver a Yharnam con Bloodborne de la mano de JK. Hacha en mano, y abriéndose paso entre bestias, pasadizos lóbregos y resbaladiza sangre pálida, analizamos el que hoy ya es considerado un título de culto, otro más de nuestros amigos de From Software.Escucha, comparte y dale al play!Dewa, mata.
It feels like we've been waiting forever (and we kinda have), but our long national nightmare is finally over: Sony Bend's PS4 exclusive Days Gone has arrived. Now that it's on store shelves and in folks' hands, we thought we'd do a special episode of the show all about the game, giving our in-depth opinions about all it has to offer, and delving headlong into the plot with reckless abandon. (This podcast contains substantial and consistent spoilers, as the title suggests.) We also corralled a ton of your questions, comments, concerns, thoughts, and ideas about the game, which we've sprinkled throughout our program. So top off your gas, load your shotgun, and ride off with us to Central Oregon. There are zombies... we mean, Freakers... to kill. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
On this month's episode of Mega Dads Live the dads discuss all manner of undead in games like Days Gone and World War Z, the perils of bathtub poops, and what we want from the coming generation of game consoles (we don't even mention Stadia 'cause it's dumb). Our Producer Pop-In is Dan Nagan and in place of Small Talk this month we get a weird commercial from the Backlog Busters.
Someone should of told the company producing the Sonic movie that the 3D model looked a little off. We got the Sonic movie trailer this last week and the internet exploded with negativity. So much so that the director took to social media to claim that they were going to redo the CG. Will it help this troubled mascot, we discuss. Also in the news, a new Earthworm Jim game is coming but to a very unlikely console, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat and others get inducted to the Video Game Hall of Fame and we learn that Dan has never played Solitaire before!!! A revelation indeed. And we round out our show with podcaster and games journalist Matt Adler. We talk Katana Zero and Days Gone and what the future holds for Playstation.
Rolling around at the speed of sound… It's another two-man show with this week as Mr. November is away but that's okay, because we've got Inky Folley and Thumper Swift to pick up the slack (these silly names doing anything for ya?). On this week's now: We finally get a trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie Epic Games acquires Psyonix What is the Valve Index? Dan gets started on SteamWorld Quest Coleman fights Freakers in Days Gone

Days Gone ou ces jours lointains, ces jours heureux du passé qui ne sont plus, deux ans après une pandémie mondiale ayant tué presque tout le monde.
