Cant wait to get my hands on this game. It looks great. I'm not bothered that is hasn't got mp or coop either as I think more effort has gone into the sp so it should be great....possibly even outstanding! :)

Graphics looks similar to other Sony's games. Do those studios exchange graphic engine and they just tweak it for their needs?

Not saying it's bad (the opposite, looks really good), but the Last of us, Uncharted, HZD, Days gone look pretty similar, just different world. Because of it they have more time to focus on the story etc. I've not read anything so just wonder.

last of us and uncharted use different build of the engine where as the other two are different

I haven't played Dead Rising, Dying Light, State of Decay
Blimey, you're in for one hell of a ride. Big fan of all of those games, and Dying Light contains the most c*** your pants moments out of the three. It is about to get a raft of free DLC's leading upto a possible sequel next year too. Looking forward to seeing how Days Gone turns out - I do love post apoc horror games and this seems to fit the mould nicely.
