#SAM WITWER DAYS GONE PC#
John actor Sam Witwer noted that buying Days Gone's PC version could constitute the best way to convince Sony to greenlight a sequel. But because Sam is not only an accomplished actor but is an avid gamer as well, it was interesting to hear his thoughts on the game itself, the dynamic events, the alternate paths, the brutality of the world.Speaking with fans in a recent Reddit AMA, Deacon St. Sam and I also talked a little about the genesis of Deacon’s character over the last three years of development and some of the challenges Sam faced while helping create the character. What if you wanted to try to stealth the entire camp? What if you had a sniper rifle, a lot of ammo, and a perch way up on the bridge near that waterfall? What if you wanted to ride through the camp on your Drifter Bike, tossing Molotovs left and right? How you play is up to you. And these aren’t the only ways to play it. In the Media Showcase demo, Deacon weaponizes a Swarm and uses it to attack the Marauder camp, while in the alternate-path demo, he goes in guns blazing. When Deacon rides out to save his friend, the weather, time-of-day, dynamic events, and playstyle preferences can change the experience pretty dramatically.

Our goal for this second demo was to show that changing something like the weather was more than cosmetic - it could significantly impact the experience.Īfter the dust from E3 settled, I sat down with Sam Witwer - who plays Deacon St. At the E3 2017 Media Showcase we premiered a new gameplay demo for Days Gone that focused on open-world dynamic events.īehind closed doors, we showed an alternate-path of the demo, changing up the weather, time-of-day, and play style.
