News This Dying Light PS4 Disc Delay Is Starting to Get Awkward
Good night, good luck
With respect to all of the parties involved, Polish developer Techland probably thought that it was trading up when it dumped Deep Silver for Warner Bros.

News What's It Like to Be a Zombie in PS4 Undead-a-Thon Dying Light?
Probably smelly
Being a zombie doesn't sound all that great. In addition to the constant pangs of hunger, you'd have to contend with rotten, flaky skin – and probably wouldn't have the mental fortitude required to whip out some moisturiser cream. Still, the 'Be a Zombie' pre-order bonus mode for Dying Light makes the whole thing look a lot more...
