Beautiful shots taken from some of the real-life locations in Days Gone but, unfortunately, not a horde in sight!
Days Gone’s world really is one of the most amazing places there is to discover. Hopping on protagonist Deacon St. John trusty motorbike and riding across the glorious landscape’s of Oregon is one of the many things that make Bend Studio’s latest title a worthwhile experience.
While, at times, taking in these splendid views of Crater Lake and the snowy hilltop mountains that lie above crystal clear waters is certainly one of the reasons in-game photo mode exists, these moments inDays Gonecan be hampered by the hordes of treacherous infected.
Thankfully,Kevin McAllisterhas found a way to take in these beautiful views in real life without the worry of getting munched on and in the process, has discovered some locations that has inspiredDays Gone’s environment.
McAllister, who started off as a huge fan ofDays Gone, quickly became one ofthe community’smost well-known photographers, forever taking stunning in-game images of every nook and cranny scattered within the title which he proudly showed off on hispersonal blog.
More recently, he was offered the position as Bend Studio’s Online Community Specialist due to his unwavering dedication to all thingsDays Goneand whist on a trip to Bend, Oregon in search for a new home to go along with his brand new role, Kevin took a trip around the area in search of locations from the game.
While travelling through the town of Chemult on the way to Crater Lake, McAllister stopped to take some comparison shots of what the real-life town and buildings look like versus how they feature inDays Gone.
As you can see, the town’s real Burger Stop is called “Burger Mart” in the game in the side by side shots as well as Chemult’s Wheelhouse Cafe compared to an in-game image ofDays Gone’s “Horseshoe Cafe”. It really is fascinating, especially seeing all of those train tracks and not one infected trying to come for your ass!
Kevin finally made his way to the famous Crater Lake and looking at those pictures, it sure seems like it was worth the effort.
