10 Overhyped Upcoming Video Games That Could Disappoint You

2. Days Gone

Here's hoping, hoping, that Days Gone is more than "Open-World Zombie Game #8437", as right now it seems developers Sony BEND are struggling to connote anything in the way of uniqueness.

As a premise it's accrued quite the swathe of fans. 'Sons of Anarchy + The Walking Dead' is quite the pitch; blending two of the biggest fan groups in modern TV history, yet when it comes to the game in action, main-man Deacon St. John looks to be thwacking zombies in ways we've seen millions of times before.

Such an emerging reputation wasn't helped by Creative Director John Garvin addressing overall zombie fatigue by saying Days Gone's enemies were "Freakers, not zombies", though when asked about how this impacts the game overall, the fallback continually seems to be that we're fighting waves of the creatures at once.

Masses of zombies/freakers/whatever was done immaculately back in 2006 with Dead Rising, and although Sony BEND might be tempering expectations by being quite honest about what is in the game, Days Gone is unlikely to offer anything we haven't seen before.
