GameTech: ‘Days Gone’ hoping to put new life in zombies

How many days of your life have you spent gaming? Considering we spend roughly 16 hours a day awake, and the average big budget game takes at least 40 hours to complete, it’s pretty easy to imagine many of us have spent months, if not years of our lives in video games.
That’s why Days Gone — itself a game about lost time — is already facing an uphill battle. Due for release on April 29, this open-world zombie game feels like a game that should have been released ten years ago, when zombies were still at their peak in gaming culture and freeroam gameplay was just taking off in big titles.
