While Terrifying, the "Days Gone" Trailer Hasn't Got Everyone Sold

Will Days Gone be the polished turd everyone is anticipating?

Days Gone has unleashed its trailer and we're finally getting a better understanding of what this zombie game will feature.

Coming out next February, the game follows the story of Deacon, a human trying to survive a zombie apocalypse in the Pacific Northwest of United States; a storyline we've sorta heard a million times already.

But, alongside the nightmare-inducing zombies, the world will also feature zombified wolves, mountain lions and a gang of murderous humans that call themselves the "Rippers". Eesh.

The trailer also reveals that your motorbike can indeed run out of petrol, so that might be a bit of a gnarly one if you're trying to escape any of the aforementioned baddies.

Still, despite all the semi-interesting new additions to the game, the verdict, for some on Twitter, is still a solid next.

the only interesting thing about days gone is putting gas in your motorcycle

Meh the zombie theme is way past its prime

can you imagine the elevator pitch for days gone?
"yeah, I want to make ride to hell retribution but replace what few cultural era features were in that with zombies."

I mean, I'll still play Days Gone. Conceptually, I'm super into it. I'd be more into it if I could play as a lady, but y'know.

Well, they've got eight months until February to change some pretty apathetic minds.
