Dying Light is easily the biggest game set to deploy on the PlayStation 4 this month – sorry, Resident Evil – so we figured that you may fancy a sneaky peek at its corpse ridden map. The rotting playground known as Harran may not be enormous, but this brand new PlayStation Access video shows off some of its districts, from a smelly sewage area to the densely populated rooftops of a South American-style favela.
The footage focuses on a few of the moves that you'll be able to perform while you manoeuvre between dead bodies, such as drop kicks and head stomps. Given that it's an open world game, the tightly crafted courses found in Mirror's Edge appear to be missing in action – but maybe it takes a little while to nail all of the moves that link things together. Either way, we're quite impressed with the draw distance and overall density of the setting.

hmm. actually a little disappointed. im a believer of quality over quantity but i cant help but to expect bigger maps then last generation. i may be wrong but san andreas still seems like the biggest open world game out there and that was ps2!!! i dont understand whats happening here. it seems like open world games are getting smaller. maybe due to how expensive and time consuming it is to make games now. before the ps4 came out i thought i was going to be playing open world games and have the feeling of really being in an open WORLD where it really feels almost limitless. like i am actually lost if i wander long enough. but instead games like this, watchdogs and infamous feel more like open small part of town games. im not saying these games are not good because they are. i almost wish i had never played san andreas or skyrim. guess ill have to wait for the next bethesda game to feel that REAL open world feeling.
EDIT- just realized farcry4 is HUGE, but also the map is all kind of the same. come to think of it, i think minecraft takes the cake. i love getting lost in its huge diverse world. so ive kind of disproved my point but i hope some of you kind of get what im saying. thanks for listening to my rant.
Gmork makes a fair point about the size of the map. At least we could have zones that open up like Infamous or AC. I suspect we'll have the 'opportunity' to buy more areas later on instead of just being given them up-front for handing out our hard earned cash.
Hmm. The open world seems to be a selling point of this game and yet... it's kind of small. Not sure about that.
i KNOW im going to love this game and have tons of fun none the less but i also KNOW that ill always be thinking, this would have been really something special if it was a huge open world. that should be 1 of 4 areas that size.
@Gmork___ notice the map says slums. Maybe there are more areas/different maps.
