I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
While it doesn’t quite seem like The Day Before is vaporware on the level of Blue Box and its non-existent “Abandoned” game, it’s a title that has raised a serious amount of questions, even as a supposedly playable version of the game will now arrive in December .
But it couldn’t even announce that without stumbling into a new controversy. Previously, its game art has been accused of lifting from other post-apocalyptic gamesIt’s not mainly about the visuals this time , it’s about the audio. In that video above, you can see how lines of dialogue directly rip off other open world games, namely GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077.
I would give The Day Before the benefit of the doubt if A) we had not already seen it taking things from other games before and B) if this was just one throwaway line instead of half a dozen instances in a single short trailer.game. It’s not Abandoned, which was content showing us images of hallways for a year despite getting a PlayStation feature. Like there’shere, but it appears not just to be an amalgam of genre games, but often lifting pieces right off of them. At least for marketing.
It's hard not to get extremely bad vibes from this game, which attracted attention because it initially seemed like a wildly ambitious project from a small studio, that if it could deliver, would be something to see. But now? It’s hard to imagine this is going to produce a final product of significance, given it’s bizarre road to release. I mean, I am curious to see how it all plays out, I’ll admit to that.
