The arrival of Astro Bot has served to PlayStation can pay a small tribute to all the sagas that, in one way or another, have marked the future of the Japanese company in the field of video games. Even those franchises that have passed away, as is the case of Days Gone.

“It’s pretty sad that Deek (Deacon St. John) has been reduced to promoting other games… well done Bend Studio! Great way to protect your legacy!”
The promotional image has not gone down well at all, since it refers to the presence of Deacon as one more bot of the 300 that you can gather in Astro Bot. In response to complaints from some users about his intransigence, he was in charge of making it clear that “I see that my character has been reduced to a cartoon that promotes some small game and I’m being harsh? Sit down, my brother, the adults are talking.”
It doesn’t seem like the time to claim a sequel to Days Gone was the best choice by Garvin, since his reaction has caused a lot of rejection in the community. In the meantime, we keep our fingers crossed to annihilate hordes of zombies again.
