Early Access doesn't mean shit.

Early Access doesn't mean shit.

It'll mean it exists in some form. Many still doubt it does.

Game is terrible another one for the "overpromise and underdeliver" for the pile. The thing is is that this doesn't deliver at all, it's an asset flip, calls itself an MMO but it's an extraction shooter...

Naughty Dogs and TLOU are safe. Now we wait for a proper sequel.

 

[Darth Vader]

$3.99 would be too expensive.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Overwhelmingly negative but we knew it would be, they didn't even send out preview copies. I know this is early access but damn.

"The world is empty not enough zombie or even players frame drops on a 3090 it's Bare bones from what I've seen so far only ran into 2 players in the world but see a bunch in Wood berry so far it seems like a walking and looting simulator not nearly enough combat from what I've seen will give more stars later but for now I'll give it a 1 game isn't worth 40$ for I say more Like a 9.99$ add more enemies and more players and it'll be good but for now it's just bare bones also it's not an open world mmo like the devs had said its more of an extraction shooter but not as much zombies or even players to kill its just empty and all quest I've seen is just fetch quest nothing more".

Controversial, PC-only shooter The Day Before is officially dead, barely a month and a half after its launch. Steam’s much-hyped zombie game, which saw developer Fntastic shutter its doors almost immediately after release, is now totally unplayable. For a few weeks following its disastrous debut, it existed in a state of limbo, but on January 22, The Day Before’s servers were switched off and various other aspects connected to the game, such as its official website, no longer function. RIP.

The Day Before was one of Steam’s most wishlisted titles of 2023, while courting controversy amongst gamers and industry members. The dev team incentivized volunteers to work on the project by offering “free codes” and “participation certificates” and in January of 2023, the game was pulled from Valve’s game distribution platform over supposed trademark issues that resulted in a nine-month delay. To put it bluntly, Fntastic’s zombie survival MMO has faced a litany of problems on the road to—and after—its early access launch on December 7, 2023. It was a dramatic saga that ended in flames as The Day Before had ceased operations mere days after its massive launch on Steam.

Now, as reported by IGN, the game’s servers are officially dead and buried. We already knew that The Day Before’s servers would shut down today; Fntastic said as much on X/Twitter on December 22. Well, the time has come. Pour one out for The Day Before, y’all.

And nothing of value was lost.
