Bend Studio has said that Days Gone Remastered features noticeable graphical improvements on PS5 that utilize the hardware’s capabilities. In a lengthy PS Blog post discussing new features, including Speedrun and Permadeath modes, the developer promised that players will be able to “see the difference.”
Days Gone Remastered takes advantage of PS5’s capabilities
Bend Studio’s Kevin McAllister says that PS5 allows developers to fully showcase Days Gone‘s potential, which wasn’t possible on the PS4.
“There’s increased lighting, increased shadow quality ,increased fog depth. For example, night time is now darker; the moon is more natural-looking,” McAllister explained. “The blue sky is more natural, too–Days Gone is a very realistic-looking game. And we’ve taken that to a new level with the PS5.”
Days Gone Remastered’s Speedrun mode can be played on any difficulty. As for Permadeath, it sounds like players can make the mode as grueling for themselves as they like.
Players can choose to play the whole game or specific acts in Permadeath mode. The former nukes players’ save files if they die and sends them back to the beginning. The latter, as the name suggests, sends players back to the beginning of the selected act should they die.
Like Speedrun, Permadeath can be played on any difficulty, so those who choose the highest difficulty and full-game Permadeath will be in for a tough time.
