Days Gone’s 30-Hour Campaign Will Reportedly Be 20 Percent Cutscene
Days Gone, the upcoming action-adventure game from SIE Bend Studio, will include a roughly 30-hour campaign, and 20 percent of it will allegedly be made up of cutscenes.
Initially reported by German outlet GameReactor.dk (via translation), SIE Bend claims the game’s main story will take roughly 30 hours to complete - an estimate previously reported by GameInformer. However, SIE Bend has also reportedly stated that there are about six hours of cinematics in the game, meaning they should constitute around 20 percent of the overall campaign.
This six-hour estimate was later confirmed on Twitter by Sam Witwer, who portrays the game’s protagonist Deacon St. John.

Former Head of Sonic Team Reacts to Alleged Movie Leak
Update 3/5: Former head of Sonic Team and lead programmer of 1991’s Sonic the Hedgehog Yuji Naka has commented on the alleged leaked images of the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog film, and he appears to be less than impressed.
Naka reacted to the images on Twitter, and said (via translation) "When the unofficial image of the Sonic movie comes out, I think that it is leaking strategically, but it is not good because it will go to the IP of Sonic
when it becomes a topic in a bad direction.”
He also noted that it’s strange Sonic’s hands are made of white fur, saying "It is shocking that his bare hands are white.” In a separate tweet, he noted that it’s important for designers to look at Sonic’s body as a whole, and that these alleged images could use some more balance.
Rumor: Disc-less Xbox Name and Release Window Reportedly Leaked
New rumors suggest that an Xbox One S without a disc drive may arrive this spring.
Reported by Windows Central, according to unnamed sources, this device, frequently referred to as “Maverick,” will be called the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. Microsoft is reportedly aiming for preorders to open up in mid-April with general availability coming in early May. The rumor suggests that this could be a near-global simultaneous launch.
No pricing was mentioned, though if this rumor proves to be true, it should be expected that the device will be cheaper than the standard Xbox One S.

HyperX Gaming Headsets, Keyboards, and More On Sale Today Only
If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
HyperX has a long history of releasing quality PC peripherals, and right now at Amazon, many of the highest-rated gaming headsets, keyboards, and more, are marked down. I have a HyperX Cloud II gaming headset, (which unfortunately isn't on sale), and I love it. I got it to replace a HyperX Cloud headset I broke, and I'm pretty sure if I hadn't been negligent, I'd still be rocking my original pair from years ago.
This is an Amazon "Deal of the Day," so these prices are only good until midnight Eastern Time.
