Iven't touched dying light in a while. However I recently got bored with dying light 2 and couldn't get my main save on DL1 to do a NG+ for some reason. So U know what? New game completely and boy. It's amazing. I don't think techland understands how important details are anymore or lighting, the lighting makes me feel at home. The story of the game makes me sad and depressed but playing makes me feel good. Even with all the gore updates and weapon animations, fighting in DL2 does not feel as good. Yes we can block now without it taking up a slot in DL2 when fighting humans but they don't feel like right, never did. And of course the environmental story telling, the interior designs, the breakable objects, this game gives me a way more intense fight or fly response than DL2 They should've kept all "phases" of the zombies in for diversity, same mistake they made in DL2. They should have all the weapons in higher rank and rarities, same as DL2. But otherwise just a fucking great game.
I never realized that civilized society was so close to Harran. Hell, some dude with a telescope in his apartment could probably peak into the Quarantine zone and witness Crane slaughtering Rais' men with complete legal impunity.

My latest Nightmare run made me notice that early game zombies are tourists, and the end game ones are all soldiers and athletes. I thought it had something to do with activating the Following before fully beating the game but apparently not.
@@Ironwalley89If I am not mistaken it was the Olympics or something basically as important to Harran.

It's a standard RPG level scaling mechanic. The enemies are completely dependent on the level of Crane. I appreciate level scalings positives but for me personally I'd rather level scaling wasn't a thing. Have areas with harder enemies and areas with easier enemies. I don't want every zombie to be max level when I'm max level. Give me my power fantasy.
@@upon-fe2720omg, this 😭 I don’t know why every zombie game is like that. I made the mistake just today of speedrunning the main storyline of dead island 2 with the intention of coming back for all the side quests later but now all the hard ass mutant zombie types are EVERYWHERE when they used to be normal boring areas
virals and zombies at the beginning all have civilian clothes, while virals near the end have the outfits of tower runners and zombies have gear. Really shows survival of the fittest.
My head canon for the updated zombies is that, while the virus has been in Haran for a while, Crane shows up late in the process. Everyone who is still alive is running out of food and medicine and other perishable items; they're getting desperate and the zombies and special infected are honing in on them. Plus, Crane is killing a lot of Rais' men and bandits who are getting reanimated as infected. So, basically, the virus is overtaking the last bit of survivors and Crane is adding to the body count so a lot of the zombies in the end game are "Fresh".
The first part is probably true but we don't really have any indication that they revive into zombies, the virus seems to need the victim alive the whole time. Another factor that's likely is the zombies seem to be continually mutating on top of everything else so that can be another reason there getting tougher.
So glad you mentioned the kid you can rescue in the airdrop mission, found it by accident, refused to enter the house cause I thought it was a screamer and I said fuck that.
@paladinboyd1228 I guess the kid gets eaten? I've played the game 3 times and never went past the house where she was hiding, I didn't pick up dying light till 2019 so I never watched the E3 trailer.
There's another side mission with 2 children who go looking for their mum. It's at the harbour safe house and the place you find him is the same house I think. But most locations inside look the same.
I never noticed that first one. For some reason, I always feel like Harran is in the middle of nowhere with nothing around it. Knowing there's a functioning bustling city right outside of the walls is insane to realize.
Yes,cause technically Harran is divided into 3 parts,Slums,Old Town and the other one,which remains uninfected, covered with walls and military towers to check the situation out
@roxinim6479 it doesn't said, it's just an obvious thing,according to the fact that the tower is out of antizin, the majority of bitten runners just became the virals
bro its literally 3 notes 😂 it may be decent i guess (i found it annoying) but nowhere near top 20 theme songs. if you wanna hear what a good theme song sounds like play skyrim, legend of zelda, even GTA 5 police chase themes to me are way more complex and better songs
I used to just veg out on the roof at night after playing for hours; usually drunk. I remember just chillin there watching the outside portions of the city, trying to pinpoint where the walls were running and such. Fun attention to detail.
i actually forgot how they made a border from harran and the city which was still not infected yet from the virus, this was actually quite a cool detail to notice. 0:12
In the tower you can over hear some survivors talking about the wall. They mentioned how they built it in 3 days. I also believe the goon zombies, the massive ones with the rebars built it and that’s why they are massive.
This game was the first game in a long time that made me feel something. It took me a little bit, but i started connecting with the characters pretty hard. And the way some of these missions play out, man...for as old as this game is, its really gripping. Best 8 bucks ive spent in a loooong time
If this game had settlement management in Brecken's Tower, I would never stop playing it. Imagine looting resources to help your community get food, weapons and maintain building infrastructure, as well as keeping safe areas from zombie invasions to maintain resource logistics.
@@Ape8658 Nah, it should be much more than what we got in Fallout 4. I've been playing it a lot recently and I'm constantly thinking how much better the settlement system could've been. Imagine being able to form squads who go out to scavenge locations you've cleared or to secure resource nodes with logistic networks which hauls the resources back to base and you could hire people to utilize said resources and make weapons, armor and ammunition. There could've been natural rivalry between settlements which eventually turns into faction warfare for numerous reasons, water scarcity for example. I don't think this stuff would be too difficult to create since there are many 4x strategy games which already have it figured out.

The zombies changing appearance is cus the virals are newly infected, so the original ones in regular clothes have deteriorated into regular zombies. Meanwhile, newer runners and also Rais's guys, who wear different clothing, are now starting to get infected and turn to runners
The 5 years I spent with this game were magical. The best times I've EVER HAD in gaming, and I've been at it since 1982! Most notably the two friends from Holland and the one from Japan that I met through DL. We would meet up at Jasirs farm, bust each other's chops and trade weapons and wait to take on invading Hunters. We would either make them rage quit, or some apex predator would come in and destroy us. Sessions would average 4-5 hours, such epic fun.
@@robinackermann7711 We were all in our thirties then, and we all ended up having kids and just drifted apart. Hard to check your ps messages and hop on a session when you've got a crying infant and a cranky wife. But MAN what a run! In my eyes what Techland produced with that Following DLC and the Hunter invasion is the most atmospheric gaming I've ever experienced. In my book Dying Light 1 is a true masterpiece.
Fun fact I think when you are around normal zombies and you've set off an explosion you can actually see the zombies get turned into virals because the explosion was so loud that eardrum exploded causing a loud ring pushing out blood. I think because of that loud ring it causes to activate adrenaline mode and hypersensitive that they also know where you located and are hyper aggressive until you're dead.
I noticed that after i did the Tahir boss fight, once I got back to the streets of old town, two infected begged me to wait after damaging them, then went back to normal zombie habits. Was not expecting it at all and the first time I have seen that. Just picked the game up on sale for $9 including DLC.
I'm spanish and i never tried the game with voices on english, i always said spanish was better but after seeing the english version of Tahir's death made it 10x times better than Spanish. Colder, enraged... Jeez that was top tier voice acting right there. 🌟🌟
I honestly hope that they put in the dynamic day and night cycle into Dying light 2 and the weapon degradation in as well, like they had for Dying light.😊
And in 7:58 you can hear his cynism and malice in his voice too. Crane is taunting him before he finishes him off. Two different sides of the same coin
zombies changing is really cool. Starts out with random people & ends in virals being Tower people while street zombies are Rais people mixed with soldiers.
I think the virals resembles rahim and jade after you beat the game, i know that there is a lot of models but i am sure that they do it intentionally to triggers memories
thats one thing, the other thing is at the start zzombies look like they got infected while the city was falling down and at the end there are more zombies that look like survivours you see in game
They do it because those specific models are stronger than the other models and those stronger models resemble jade and rahim simply because of budget, not to trigger memories. Dying light didn’t have a very good budget so they reused tons of assets. Can’t imagine what this game would’ve been if it had gotten a far bigger budget. They probably would’ve just continued updating this game rather than moving on to the sequel.
Your one of my favorite RUclipsrs because i actually love dying light 1 and 2 and seeing a RUclipsr actually play dying light with mods and show off secrets
The antenna thing is like a typical zombie survival game mission of trying to restore communication in the area. I'm nearly finished with my playthrough of the base game and I legit didn't notice that subtle detail that the static clears up after you fix the antenna.
I also noticed that when the sun starts to set all the walkers will look up at it and seem to forget about everything including the player even if you start running circles around them (idk if this was already known but my dumbass took until my third run to notice it)
the day night cycle is just so much better with it being dynamic, with 2 sure its dynamic but they did it in a way where its kinda static as opposed to the skybox actually moving like here in DL1
Yeah but I also get it with dying light 2, I mean I hate that the sun just teleports through out the sky at certain times, but techland said that the reason for that is for the lighting, they said that having the sun and moon stay in place let's them give better realistic lighting wheras if it was constantly moving (like in dying light 1) then the lighting wouldn't be as consistently good, which makes sense as sometimes in dying light depending where the sun moved it made it very hard to see things at daytime as either it was in your face blinding you or it was hidden behind a building making it dark, wheras dying lighr 2 they have different light maps baked into the different stages of where the sun is, so every few hours in game when it hits certain time and the sun teleports it loads up the new baked in light map to try and give more consistent lighting
I wish you could get near the edge of the quarantine zone and see guards or soldiers or something other then just a wall because you're telling me volatiles didn't just rush that city lol
I modded a "Sniper Rifle" (I basically gave the rifle with a red dot magnifier about x3 zoom) Anyways you gain more points from a kill, the closer you are to an enemy. If you are sniping at a distance the points rewarded are worth far less.
I like how the models of zombies change towards the end. You see more zombified versions of Rais’ men, and the virals have the appearance of survivors/other runners, showing the events of the game taking its toll on those who were trying to survive the outbreak long term
I do remember noticing the radio being crystal clear when we repaired the antenna but these details are just crazy. Just another reason why this is my all time favorite ❤ gotta replay this shit again now that I'm on ps5
i honestly believe there’s a theory here, at the beginning of the game the enemies are like basic citizens and construction workers and towards the end the zombies are like boxers, athletes,soldiers and even the quarantine workers.
The zombie changes were pretty interesting for me. I spent thirty hours playing before the airdrop mission, trying to do everything I possibly could, go any place I could, before starting the day and night cycle, and the changes from just doing a couple of main quests after that are striking. Infamy bridge, which was a cake walk, becomes hell, and hordes that were easy to destroy before become incredibly deadly.
wow, i love how the surrounding cities don't give less of a shit about the poor souls in the QZ. But then when THV gets out, oh noe! It's a clusterfuck XD another great video as always
The only thing I did was at 5:26 I want to experience the explosion that the developer work hard for and boy that was so cool and I'm glad i looked back
The weapons actually look even more different when you repair them. There are a few exclusions tho, like Korek Machete which looks same all the time, only with more blood on it, if I remember correctly.
4:34 - you only have the chance to save the kid DURING that quest. It won't appear again in any other context as it is not like other random events in the game. 7:24 - this is to give the player a more accurate perception of what a "boss" looks like, this technique is frequently used by FromSoftware in their boss characters.
THIS shit look like it’s own version of a MK PIT level fight😆😆😆! Addendum😏: You even got the sun OUT in THIS instance of the scene in STEAD OF the MOON😆!
no everyone is still alive outside the quarantine in the beginning, i mean that’s how crane was sent in. spoilers: also at the end of the following DLC when u become the night hunter, u can see crane coming out of the sewer system and it leads directly into the uninfected town
Zombies having normal clothing like in the first missions makes more sense tbh. Or like in the following where soldier zombies are mostly placed in outposts
With the city lights, it's interesting to think that civilization is still functioning outside of the quarentine zone. But here you are, fighting desperately for your life every night.
Anybody remember that tunnel run from DL2 where you run with a flashlight and they just keep coming and coming from all different sides?? man it gave me nightmares for quite sometime 😅
The modern day atmosphere was so much more interesting and immersive than the apocalyptic future atmosphere. I don’t think they did a bad job for DL2, but 1 was done perfectly
Seeing the uninfected city in the distance makes it understandable my the ministry wanted herran destroyed so badly as seen in the following ending all it took was one person to escape for the infection to spread
When I first played Dying Light 1 I did not realize that entire game takes place in a small quarantined city, I thought everything in the world went to shit like every zombie stories

I'm spanish and i never tried the game with voices on english, i always said spanish was better but after seeing the english version of Tahir's death made it 10x times better than Spanish. Colder, enraged... Jeez that was top tier voice acting right there. 🌟🌟
True. I was pretty impressed by Crane's voice acting
Brazilian is pretty cool, besides some technical issues
@@roxinim6479 i need to try brazilian one day.
Of course it all matters on the respective actor, im sure in many games the Spanish actors are much better
@@james5076 borderlands 2 and 3 are comedic masterpieces.
I honestly hope that they put in the dynamic day and night cycle into Dying light 2 and the weapon degradation in as well, like they had for Dying light.😊
cant tell if this is satire or you being fr
Is this a joke? They did add that.
Boy do I have news for you buddy
Oh brother this guy 😂
Those in the comments no they didnt add dynamic sky.
That background music realy helped with the eerieness of the zombie infested Haran it kept me on my toes
5:06 I love the way crane changes his voice too be more passive tone he is the goat too kids
And in 7:58 you can hear his cynism and malice in his voice too. Crane is taunting him before he finishes him off. Two different sides of the same coin
zombies changing is really cool. Starts out with random people & ends in virals being Tower people while street zombies are Rais people mixed with soldiers.
I think the virals resembles rahim and jade after you beat the game, i know that there is a lot of models but i am sure that they do it intentionally to triggers memories
thats one thing, the other thing is at the start zzombies look like they got infected while the city was falling down and at the end there are more zombies that look like survivours you see in game
@@adamrozpedowski4831 ah yes now it make sense, the military zombies was survivor for some time and then they fails
They do it because those specific models are stronger than the other models and those stronger models resemble jade and rahim simply because of budget, not to trigger memories. Dying light didn’t have a very good budget so they reused tons of assets. Can’t imagine what this game would’ve been if it had gotten a far bigger budget. They probably would’ve just continued updating this game rather than moving on to the sequel.
Your one of my favorite RUclipsrs because i actually love dying light 1 and 2 and seeing a RUclipsr actually play dying light with mods and show off secrets
The antenna thing is like a typical zombie survival game mission of trying to restore communication in the area. I'm nearly finished with my playthrough of the base game and I legit didn't notice that subtle detail that the static clears up after you fix the antenna.
those dancing zombie scene is a fever dream
Here's a thought. Just imagine how scary it must be to live just outside the quarantine zone. You'd probably hear Volatiles shrieking every night!
Truly one of the best zombie games of all time
I also noticed that when the sun starts to set all the walkers will look up at it and seem to forget about everything including the player even if you start running circles around them (idk if this was already known but my dumbass took until my third run to notice it)
the day night cycle is just so much better with it being dynamic, with 2 sure its dynamic but they did it in a way where its kinda static as opposed to the skybox actually moving like here in DL1
Yeah but I also get it with dying light 2, I mean I hate that the sun just teleports through out the sky at certain times, but techland said that the reason for that is for the lighting, they said that having the sun and moon stay in place let's them give better realistic lighting wheras if it was constantly moving (like in dying light 1) then the lighting wouldn't be as consistently good, which makes sense as sometimes in dying light depending where the sun moved it made it very hard to see things at daytime as either it was in your face blinding you or it was hidden behind a building making it dark, wheras dying lighr 2 they have different light maps baked into the different stages of where the sun is, so every few hours in game when it hits certain time and the sun teleports it loads up the new baked in light map to try and give more consistent lighting
@ashleybarnes9343 it's no excuse the lighting in 1 was more realistic
@@DayMan.. I never said it was a excuse, I was just stating the reasons they gave us
It’s jarring how Dying Light 1 has less and simultaneously more features than the sequel. The zombies don’t even watch the sunset in 2.
I remember that the airdrop mission saving the kid thing was in one of the the original trailers
I wish you could get near the edge of the quarantine zone and see guards or soldiers or something other then just a wall because you're telling me volatiles didn't just rush that city lol
When jade and crane scene
The lights from cities outside the quarantine is a nice touch.
it must be really creepy living in that city in universe. obviously being in the quarantine is worse but you know
@abbcc5996 Yeah, bro, like living with your concern that it might come to you next is something scary.
Wow didn't know you could watch the building blow up
We also see Tahir in the intro right after the parachute jump, he beats us up along with the bandits
proof you can really tell if a developer love their game. sad the old team not there to make dying light 2
I modded a "Sniper Rifle" (I basically gave the rifle with a red dot magnifier about x3 zoom)
Anyways you gain more points from a kill, the closer you are to an enemy.
If you are sniping at a distance the points rewarded are worth far less.
I love the lore to this game so much. Sometimes when I get in the mood to play this game I just go to the top of the tower and look around lmao.
This game had the best soundtrack. Still listen to it till this day
Dying Light is a certified masterpiece
“Because you’re not the kind of loose end you leave untied” is still such a cold line
I like how the models of zombies change towards the end. You see more zombified versions of Rais’ men, and the virals have the appearance of survivors/other runners, showing the events of the game taking its toll on those who were trying to survive the outbreak long term
I noticed all of these details because the game does a great job showing and explaining this stuff thru dialogue and lore
The amount of love they put into DL1 is so much more obvious after DL2😢
I do remember noticing the radio being crystal clear when we repaired the antenna but these details are just crazy. Just another reason why this is my all time favorite ❤ gotta replay this shit again now that I'm on ps5
The amount of times Ive been in that little building and never stumbled on the dancing zombie easter egg
The original soundtrack gets me so hyped up.
i honestly believe there’s a theory here, at the beginning of the game the enemies are like basic citizens and construction workers and towards the end the zombies are like boxers, athletes,soldiers and even the quarantine workers.
The zombie changes were pretty interesting for me. I spent thirty hours playing before the airdrop mission, trying to do everything I possibly could, go any place I could, before starting the day and night cycle, and the changes from just doing a couple of main quests after that are striking. Infamy bridge, which was a cake walk, becomes hell, and hordes that were easy to destroy before become incredibly deadly.
looking at this after 800 hrs of dying light 2 this game still finds ways to out do its sequel and its amazing
That final cutscene has my palms sweating, again!
3:22 Crane: I don`t need helicopter to escape Harran, I am helicopter!
the third person thing got me. And that its not a thirdperson game, but cyberpunk devs says "uhhh impossible to do this"
wow, i love how the surrounding cities don't give less of a shit about the poor souls in the QZ. But then when THV gets out, oh noe! It's a clusterfuck XD another great video as always
Me accidentally going down two steps down the stairs: Incapacitated foot for a few minutes
Crane casually falling a skyscraper height onto a car:
The thing about Dying Light is that most of its epic moments are real time and thats why most people miss them
This is such a great game.
LOL...the team that made Dying Light 2 had to make it more like Dying Light in order to make it better.
E3 is better in dying light 2
The only thing I did was at 5:26 I want to experience the explosion that the developer work hard for and boy that was so cool and I'm glad i looked back
The weapons actually look even more different when you repair them. There are a few exclusions tho, like Korek Machete which looks same all the time, only with more blood on it, if I remember correctly.
8:11 that’s just so cold 🥶
Batman came out at the end there
4:34 - you only have the chance to save the kid DURING that quest. It won't appear again in any other context as it is not like other random events in the game.
7:24 - this is to give the player a more accurate perception of what a "boss" looks like, this technique is frequently used by FromSoftware in their boss characters.
Never noticed how every zombies is basically bald
man the amount of details I missed as I played, what a great game Dying Light is
Fun fact, at sunset all the zombies will ignore you and stare at the sun
6:20 it looks like a drunks men are fighting😂
but still good
lol Fr
Especially at 6:31 💀💀 that spin bruh
THIS shit look like it’s own version of a MK PIT level fight😆😆😆!
Addendum😏: You even got the sun OUT in THIS instance of the scene in STEAD OF the MOON😆!
I always got confused with people turning on the lights. I thought everyone was dead
no everyone is still alive outside the quarantine in the beginning, i mean that’s how crane was sent in. spoilers: also at the end of the following DLC when u become the night hunter, u can see crane coming out of the sewer system and it leads directly into the uninfected town
I mean, right at the beginning, the game, it explains that you're in a quarantine zone....
Idk if anyone noticed, but the virals you encounter are former runners of the tower. You can tell by the way they're dressed
imagine playing video games and living normally when there is a Zombie Outbreak at less than a 10 mile away hidden from the governement.
Zombies having normal clothing like in the first missions makes more sense tbh. Or like in the following where soldier zombies are mostly placed in outposts
I love this game soo much, brings back some wonderful memories
The cutscene mocap thing is pretty cool. Makes it feel more real, than you being like a camera most times.
With the city lights, it's interesting to think that civilization is still functioning outside of the quarentine zone. But here you are, fighting desperately for your life every night.
Anybody remember that tunnel run from DL2 where you run with a flashlight and they just keep coming and coming from all different sides?? man it gave me nightmares for quite sometime 😅
Dying light 2 failed about that atmosphere
50/50 but no
The modern day atmosphere was so much more interesting and immersive than the apocalyptic future atmosphere.
I don’t think they did a bad job for DL2, but 1 was done perfectly
@@Michael1234567860 yeah i agree with you
E3 has better atmosphere
Because it has a whole different atmosphere and it is supposed to be like that
Imagine living in (turkey...??) right outside the zone as a young kid and making runs over the wall into the zone with your friends.
Seeing the uninfected city in the distance makes it understandable my the ministry wanted herran destroyed so badly as seen in the following ending all it took was one person to escape for the infection to spread
4:35 also I'd like to mention, this scene was also in the trailer gameplay of Dying Light before it came out
When I first played Dying Light 1 I did not realize that entire game takes place in a small quarantined city, I thought everything in the world went to shit like every zombie stories
