Until we can show you the PS4 version later today, here are a few gameplay videos of Dying Light on PC. Since we captured them using our dedicaded capture PC, the framerate issues you can see are real with our game rig (i5 4670K @ 4.0 GHz, 8 Go RAM, Windows 8.1, Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 Gigabyte OC), which seems to indicate that the game isn't fully optimized yet. Indeed, apart from the draw distance option that clearly has an impact on framerate, lowering the other graphics settings do not seem to improve the overall experience. It's still playable, but the drops should be fewer with a GTX 970. Aside from the optimization problems, the game seems rather solid thanks to the new traversal possibilities. Melee combat has been improved over Dead Island's and fighting has become even more visceral. That being said, if you never enjoyed Techland's previous zombie series, chances are you won't find this new game to your liking either.
