Overview
Description

Days Gone is an action-adventure survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic Oregon. Players control Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter fighting to survive against hordes of Freakers, the zombie-like creatures that have devastated the world. The game features a vast open world to explore, a variety of missions and side quests, and a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle that affects gameplay.

Set after the European battle, Resistance 2 thrusts players into the role of Sgt. Nathan Hale as humanity makes its final stand against the alien Chimera on American soil. The single‑player campaign blends intense firefights, new weapons, and massive boss encounters while Hale battles a virus threatening to turn him into the very enemy he fights. The game also offers a groundbreaking eight‑player class‑based co‑op campaign and massive 60‑player competitive modes, supporting split‑screen play for both solo and team experiences on the PlayStation 3.
