Buggy comes to Developer Tools

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF5QkQyLfLw

Continuing the year-long support for Dying Light in 2016, we have just expanded the Dying Light Dev Tools. Players now have the ability to use all-terrain buggies featured in Dying Light: The Following on custom maps, even if you only own the base game. With that new addition comes also the option to freely modify the driving system and use the buggies in PvP scenarios.

To coincide with the latest update, Techland and Razer announced the special ‘Buggy Madness’ contest. Anyone can compete by creating a buggy-based custom map using Dying Light Developers Tools (available for free on Steam) and submitting it at the official contest website.

The contest runs from May 19th to June 19th 2016 and aims to select the most creative, enjoyable, and high-quality maps.

More information and the submission form can be found at http://DyingLightGame.com/Devtools-Contest.

Developer Tools update release notes:

• Buggy unlocked
• Added "following" collection to editor's collections set
• All The Following and The Bozak Horde assets are now available
• Multiplayer fix on workshop maps
• Added missing weapons' textures to the editor
• Tiny Objects fix + added 4 new layers
• AI presets can be configured in HumanAI.pre file
• Example map is updated to The Following game version (buggy, driver skills, example track)

Got it during the Summer 2016 sale, best game i've bought in a while.

If you love killing zombies with practically whatever you want in an open world enviroment you'll love this. And the following, I find it a lot like The Walking Dead tbh. But night time, awwww mate, real intense even with the good weapons. Best to find a safehouse, coz night time is practially I Am Legend. Just a fantasic game. Co-op is great as well. Makes it a lot easier and real good fun. And to top it all off you can get old western style weapons. I just love having my revolvor.

So if you can get it on sale definatley buy it, though its worth the full price.

best zombie game available, amazing storyline, amazing graphics, amazing sound quality, very immersive, but has one big con.....

the camera sway movement when walking along edges of stuff and being at high places can cause motion sickness, I barely got through some missions becaue of this reason. Be sure to check out some gameplay videos before you decide to buy it.

The love child of basically any zombie title caught in an awkward love triangle between Dead Rising, Assasins Creed & Far Cry. I highly recommend this title, I've come back to it three times now with roughly 60 hrs of PC gameplay & well over 50 hours on Xbox One. With good guys Techland & Warner Bros offering a free season pass for those who initially pre-ordered the game due to release delays, for a season pass I didn't pay for - I'm not complaining. The Following DLC is fantastic and has a lot to offer, buggys you can drive and fully customize, a huge new map, a fun quest line and the mother of all campaign villains. I persoanlly can't fault the game, the parkour system is fun, the agility skill tree and the others are easily achievable to max out. I have nothing left to do in the game bar a few achievements and I still find myself aimlessly grappling from building to building and coming across something to do.

10/10, would flying kick zombies in the head again and again.

I have only played the base game once (not hurriedly), but let me give you a run-down of what this game's best points are:

  • Fantastic parkour that gets more fun as you level up
  • Combat is satisfying and gets cooler as you level up
  • Dead Island-style crafting and scavenging, plus more throwables
  • Nice array of enemies; I personally enjoy the tight but colorful variety—enough slow guys so that fighting the fast ones and the big ones feels like an event, in a way
  • There are enough guns available to you at the correct times so that fighting against humans isn't rediculous (usually)
  • The times when you are caught out at night are awesome and thrilling
  • World/level design is pretty good
  • Graphics are a plus

There are a few downsides, however:

  • Storyline is basic, not gripping at all
  • Voice acting is terribad
  • Character design is mediocre, all the characters are flat and/or generic, none are very memorable
  • Setting is kinda dull and unoriginal
  • ♥♥♥♥♥♥ lockpicking—carbon copy of Fallout 3/TESV (but it's far clunkier, and you have to craft lockpicks at the cost of vital scrap) that really does nothing but hinder you; could definitely have been implemented better
  • "Far Cry 3 is a fantastic game, so why don't we put takedowns in our totally unrelated game?" - Techland
  • "Far Cry 3 is a fantastic game, so why don't we make the player climb a stupid ♥♥♥♥ing radio tower in our totally unrelated game?" - Techland
  • "Far Cry 3 is a fantastic game, so why don't we make the player trip balls and discover his inner self (or not) in our totally unrelated game?" - Techland
  • They even stole the dragon machete from FC3 by tattooing it on the villan's chest (just kidding, but seriously, they bit a few too many of Ubisoft's game aspects to create this game)

Keep in mind not everyone is going to see the same downsides as I do. In my opinion, the good outweighs the bad by a slight margin, but I really appreciate playing a game with a good story and likeable characters.

My personal gripes:

  • Puts an unreasonable storyline emphasis on killing other humans that I didn't personally enjoy
  • Grappling hook takes the point out of parkour—using it feels cheaty, not using it makes you feel like you are missing out (I guess this is okay since it takes a while to unlock, but I dislike it nonetheless)
  • Not every game needs Assassin Creed Eagle vision
  • Although there is a huge amount of crafting recipies to collect, none of them offer a unique visual of your weapon—in Dead Island, some certain mods made your weapon look drastically different and cooler (i.e. hot rod mod)
  • Crane is a simple and stupid surname for a main character, pls more name creativity Techland


[tl;dr]: Techland did a pretty good job of turning an original idea into a concrete game, but even though they did an admirable job on gameplay, they skimped on all of the other important parts of a good game. Also hurr durr copying Ubisoft (but seriously, they could have been slightly more original past the concept).

Overall, it's worth playing, try it if you can

Dying Light is "another zombie game" but done right. In my opinion of course.

Positives:
+Parkour is great, its smooth and it works well. Not quite Mirrors Edge level smooth but not exactly far from it either.
+Graphics are good, zombies look good and some very interesting.
+Crafting, crafting is fun and sometimes necessary if you want to live/survive.
+Progression, leveling up is always fun and adds a fun small RPG element to the game also tricks/skills are fun.
+A lot of side quests.
+Includes CO OP
+Good combat.
+'The Following' DLC that includes is a lot of fun. Includes a Buggy.
+Great sound.

Negatives:
-Story isn't anything special, but characters and the protagonist make up for that.
-Story is relatively short
-Zombies look interesting but if you've played a Left 4 Dead game you know the zombie types.
-First couple of hours are a little bit boring.
-Final boss is a quick time event, a big let down.

tl;dr: It's fun, but has a rough start.
8/10

When this game was first announced, I had mixed feelings. I didn't know it was gonna be so DAMN good, but listen, the main story lost me. It was kinda corny, and could have been a lot better. The parkour, the buggy driving, the zombie killing, blueprints, and all that was absolutely amazing. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The Following was a perfect expansion pack, and all the DLC for Dying Light is worth every penny. I cannot wait for a Dying Light 2 and more DLC!
If you enjoy zombies then definitely get this game! It really is a great zombie killing experience. It's even better when you're with friends and playing on the Nightmare difficulty! It's hard, scary, and you must have a level of teamwork. If you ever need someone to play with and you have a microphone, then feel free to add me. Dying Light is among the best horror zombie survival games ever made. Congratulations!

Intro
Dying Light is the third edition to Techlands Zombie Killing games, and manages to incorporate some familiar, and improved features from Dead Island 1 and Riptide, with a few weak points here and there.

Crafting, all day, every day
You have your weapon crafting and repairing system, similar to how Dead Island Riptide handled it, but this time, you're able to have increased stats from weapon mods which effect how much damage your weapon does, or even the speed and critical rate, which is nice to have once you learn how it works.
Weapon Quantity has been increased too, with more unique variants of weapons, and base weapons when compared to Dead Island or even Riptide, with the rest being DLC weapons that have their models and textures locked away until you purchase the dlc, which isn't bad, but the Bozak Horde DLC is a bit questionable, but we'll get to that later.


Graphics and Animation
The graphics and animation are a major step up from Dead Island 1 & Riptide, with more fluid animations, more animations in general, and proper god rays and beautiful textures that are nice to look at.
Low-Tier gaming rigs should avoid playing the game on ultra, anything with, let's say a 550ti can run the game on high settings or more.


The Story
The weakest point of the game, cardboard box tier character interest, and an annoying QTA sequence that'll happen to you makes it a bit frustrating to get through, there's some interesting characters here and there, just not enough of them.


DLC
Be The Zombie
One of the earliest DLC's done with Dying Light, you're able to be invaded by Night Hunters controlled by other players, or do it yourself!
You can turn this off or have certain conditions before it happens, It's pretty fun and hilarious to surprise friends with.

Bozak Horde
Mostly used for its weapons, The Bozak Horde offers a short story alone or with your friends, with the story being mostly forgettable, and the final boss being poorly implemented.

The Following
The Following offers and entirely new world, rivaling that of the main game itself, with places to explore, side quests to do, and an all new Dune Buggy to ride in, so you can mow zombies over and get to places faster.
Sadly, It's exclusive to the DLC Worldspace, but the main game is cramped enough and meant for parkour so it's reasonable.


Conclusion
Dying Light is a pretty decent zombie killing game, one of the underrated games that came out in 2015, It's fun alone, and even more enjoyable with friends.
