The mission culminated in a big fight with the Rippers, a faction of human enemies that worship the freakers.

It showed that there will be a deep economy in the full game, with plenty find out in the open world. I was able to scavenge around the area to find parts for crafting, even if I didn’t do much crafting in the demo itself. I noticed the surrounding newts beginning to get a little agitated, so I thought it best to move on with my mission and get the motorcycle part. Scattered freakers could be found around the area, but I was able to dispatch most of them with a couple of melee attacks and gunshots. Hordes of them observe from a distance, but they won’t attack unless they sense you are weak. Whatever the studio wants them to be, they are quite creepy. Dead Space 2 introduced infected alien zombie infants without shame, first encountered in a nursery on the colony, so these “newts” seem pretty tame by comparison. I understand the studio’s reticence to acknowledge that these freakers are essentially children, but they wouldn’t be the first studio to tread that path. “They aren’t usually aggressive.” The newts scurried away from me as I approached the garage and many of them perched on the rooftop glaring down at me very Smeagol-like.

“The smaller ones are called newts,” he told me. When I asked about them, the developer was very cautious to steer away from that word. See, Days Gone features infected children. I was still met with a very disturbing scene however. It wasn’t a scene that I got to see right here though, so I carried on. He talked about some creepy sights in the game where you can see freaker herd drinking water nearby one another. They require food, water, and have an ecosystem. “Wow, these things are cannibals?” I asked the developer sitting next to me. On the way there, I noticed a couple of freakers devouring the body of another freaker. I was set to head to a nearby garage to get a part for my broken down bike.
