Days Gone Remastered: A Zombie-Slaying Revival on PS5 Pro with Enhanced Features and Accessibility
Days Gone, the 2019 PS4 exclusive, has risen from the dead with a remastered version for the PS5, boasting PS5 Pro Enhanced upgrades. While it initially garnered mixed reviews despite strong sales, this re-release aims to offer a definitive experience for fans and newcomers alike.
The remastered version, simply titled Days Gone Remastered, offers players three modes: Enhanced, Performance, and Quality. While the specifics of these enhancements remain somewhat ambiguous, the "PS5 Pro Enhanced" tag hints at graphical and performance improvements tailored for the more powerful console.
Developed by Bend Studio, known for the Syphon Filter series and Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Days Gone places players in the role of Deacon St. John, a former outlaw biker navigating a post-apocalyptic Oregon overrun by zombie-like creatures called Freakers.
One notable addition in the remaster is a small but significant detail: Deacon now sports a modeled flashlight around his neck. This seemingly minor change adds to the game's realism, addressing a common critique of the original where the light source appeared to emanate directly from Deacon.
Beyond visual tweaks, Days Gone Remastered shines with its expanded accessibility features. Bend Studio prioritized making the game more customizable and accessible for all players. These features include:
- Subtitle Customization: Players can now choose from 11 subtitle colors and customize the background.
- High Contrast Mode: A fully customizable mode to improve visibility by highlighting key elements like enemies and interactive objects.
- UI Narration: Audio descriptions for menus and in-game options to aid navigation.
- Collectible Audio Cues: Sound notifications to help players locate collectibles within the game's open world.
- Customized Controls: Fully remappable controls for the DualSense controller, compatible with the PlayStation Access controller.
- Game Speed: The option to adjust the gameplay speed, ranging from 100% to 25%, making combat and challenging moments more manageable.
Days Gone Remastered also introduces a new Horde Assault mode. This mode challenges players to face waves of increasingly difficult enemies, unlocking new characters and rewards. This promises a new way to engage with the unique horde combat system that was a defining feature of the original game.
While a sequel to Days Gone remains uncertain, this remaster offers a chance to experience the game in its most complete form. With enhanced visuals, improved accessibility, and new content, Days Gone Remastered aims to reignite interest in Deacon St. John's journey through the zombie-infested landscapes of Oregon.
Will these improvements be enough to win over those who were initially hesitant, or will it primarily serve as a nostalgic trip for existing fans? Share your thoughts and expectations for Days Gone Remastered in the comments below!
