Analysis: everything looks online to work
After a delay in 2020, a long silence, and the announcement of a new December release date at the beginning of this year, Techland seems to be open with the fans on what they can expect from the dying light 2 at his Dying 2 Know Livestream.
While the pandemic has pushed the great play shows like E3 and Gamescom even more online than they were previously, the value of the Livestream and the way it allows only to become developers and publishers to appeal Directly to clearer players. If the previous Dying 2 Know episodes had not occurred, this showcom show could run the risk of being a discharge of information, instead, it is just another piece of the puzzle.
Studios like Techland and Playground with their dying 2 Know and Go streams of Forza Horizon lets have used LiveStreams, information feeding drip for fans who know where to find them, using the space dedicated to enter into Details in a way that is not always possible during events in person. Although not always a guaranteed indicator of what the final game will be, these livestreams seem like a fairly effective method of keeping the conversation around the game in progress.
It is the second event completely online and it seems gamescom the organizers try to build the first. With just a week before the show starts, the calendar begins to fill with presentations such as the Flux of Xbox on August 24, the two opening hours Night Live animated by Geoff Keighley on August 25th and the Games Future View the August 26 currently confirmed.
