Fntastic shared new footage of The Day Before the very first time since 2023 yesterday (February 2), but fans weren't impressed.
Earlier this year, Fntastic promised a gameplay reveal trailer for The Day Before would be released in January. However, developers postponed both launch from the game and also the premier of the trailer due to legal issues that stemmed from Fntastic forgetting to trademark the their game.
The Day Before had been due for release March 1, but due to those issues, Fntastic pushed the discharge to November 10 to own studio adequate time for you to sort things out. However they went ahead with the launch from the trailer, 1 hour after the announced time.
Advertised as “raw gameplay footage”, the 10-minute video sees a person running down a street, exploring an abandoned house, fiddling about using their inventory and opening some cupboards. They eventually shoot some zombies but because one fan commented “For a game which was previously meant to come out this month, this sure is a-unique gameplay reveal.”
“Best jogging simulator I’ve ever seen,” wrote another fan
After the video premiered, Fntastic started another countdown ahead of a developer playing The Day Before live. 15 minutes later, a 40-second clip was shared that saw the dev playing the exact same stretch of road covered in the initial gameplay reveal.
According to one fan on Reddit, a clip “wasn't convincing enough in the end the suspicious stuff happening. Using the original name here basically confirms the copyright issues were bullshit, also it was super slow gameplay that showed no new information or actually showed much of interest at all, as well as just being super slow. Even when it was real, I'm not even close to impressed.”
“This doesn't look like a game that's being released in 2023, cheap we'd to wait so long for something so simple is simply as concerning,” wrote another fan. “Either farmville gets cancelled or will release in 2026.”
“Once again we know nothing concerning the game. They literally just had the smoothness walking with the city, killing a handful of zombies. What was so difficult [about going] within the features of the sport,” asked another.
Last month, Fntastic founders Eduard and Aisen Gotovtsev hit back at claims that their upcoming open-world survival game The Day Before is a scam, following numerous delays and controversy over the utilization of unpaid “volunteers”.
“It is unpleasant to hear such accusations,” said an argument. “We only believe in the ultimate product. No matter what anyone says, you will see on your own on November 10 this season.”
“We hope that after the game's success, we'll give people faith that in this life, should you persevere toward an aspiration, it'll become a reality, despite all of the obstacles and doubts,” they added.
