A
remaster
of
Bend
Studios’
Days
Gone
is
seemingly
being
hinted
at
by
Jordan
Middler
of

videogameschronicle.com.

If
you’re
thinking
“wait,
didn’t
Days
Gone
just
come
out
in,
like,
2019?”
then
you’d
be
completely
right.
The
action-adventure
game
featuring
biker-turned-zombie-killer
Deacon
came
out
in
2019
and
already
has
a
PS5
patch
that
enables
the
game
to
run
smoother.

However,
that
apparently
isn’t
enough
to
stop
Sony
from
remastering
it.
Just
the
other
day
insider
Jeff
Grubb
was
discussing
the

Horizon
Zero
Dawn
remaster
that
appeared
on
the
ESRB
website.
During
the
chat,
Grubb
commented
that
he
has
heard
the
upcoming
PlayStation
State
of
Play,
which
is
itself
not
officially
confirmed,
will
feature
“some
other
remaster”
that
will
“be
even
less
exciting”
than
Horizon.

This
set
people
speculating
about
what
remaster
Sony
could
be
working
on,
but
one
person
seems
somewhat
confident
that
they
know
exactly
what
Sony
will
announce.
Enter
Jordan
Middler,
a
podcaster
and
writer
for
VGC.

Responding
to
a
tweet
focused
on
Grubb’s
revelation,
Jordan
replied,
“If
he
was
angry
that
his
character
is
in
Astro
Bot,
he’s
going
to
lose
his
mind
at
this.”

Jordan’s
comment
is
making
fun
of
John
Garvin,
the
creative
director
of
Days
Gone
who
was
fired
from
Bend
Studios.
Garvin
has
earned
a
rather
bad
reputation
since
his
departure
from
the
studio,
often
heavily
criticizing
his
former
team,
Sony,
reviewers
and
more
over
Days
Gone’s
relatively
small
level
of
success.

Just
recently,
Garvin
railed
against
the
lead
character
of
Days
Gone
appearing
as
a
cameo
in
Astro
Bot,
tweeting
out:
“Haha,
I
see
my
character
reduced
to
a
cartoon
schill
promoting
some
small
game
and
I’m
being
harsh?
Sit
down,
my
brotha,
adults
are
talking”

Middler’s
comment
is
aimed
squarely
at
Garvin,
but
also
strongly
hints
that
the
upcoming
remaster
will
be
for
Days
Gone.
If
true,
it
would
be
a
baffling
decision
by
Sony,
because
why
bother
remastering
a
game
that’s
only
five
years
old?

I
actually
loved
Days
Gone,
but
I
don’t
feel
any
desire
for
a
remastered
version,
although
part
of
me
hopes
that
if
its
true
it
does
exceptionally
well
so
that
a
sequel
can
finally
be
made.

Plus,
you’d
think
if
Sony
are
willing
to
throw
money
at
remastering
a
relatively
new
game
like
Days
Gone,
why
wouldn’t
they
spend
that
money
on
re-releasing
something
like
God
of
War,
a
much
more
commercially
and
critically
successful
game?
I
can
only
assume
someone
at
Bend
Studios
has
a
silver
tongue
to
pull
this
one
off,
if
it
turns
out
to
be
true.
