![]() In both games, the story begins pre-apocalypse as we start to see the world go into chaos. Looking at the story alone, here are some of the story beats I found that relate to each other in some way. If you examine any story close enough to another you will find some similarities most of the time, especially in a post-apocalyptic setting. Days Gone is classified as types depending on how the virus infected a person based on structural DNA or evolution of the virus. The Last of Us infected is classified as classes based on the duration of infection.Both games use a “heavy” class for their infected.Both games use the term “Runners” as a type of infected.It all depends on the length of infection. If the host continues to “survive” it can move on to a Stalker, Clicker or Bloater. The infection grows in multiple stages with each stage more dangerous than the last. ![]() In The Last of Us, a parasitic fungal infection or commonly known as the Cordyceps Brain Infection is what devastated humankind causing the fungus to grow while the host is still alive. The virus also crossed species infecting different animals including wolves, bears, crows and bats. Freakers are not dead in the way you think of zombies. Freakers have multiple stages including Swarmers, Bleachers, Newts, Screamers, Reachers, Breakers and an Intelligent type. At the convention held in Portland, Oregon the infection spread from person to person where they then traveled back home all over the world. The virus was spread across the world by one person who unknowingly was infected by trying to expose the corrupt Cloverdale at an environmental convention. The Freaker Virus was developed from research done at Cloverdale Lab. In Days Gone, the infected humans or animals in this case are called Freakers. Both games took the sense of a zombie, and spun the genre to fit their own creative story. The word zombie is casually thrown out by people in regards to any dead or undead human that has formed into a cannibalistic creature in media. This is a similarity between the two games, but also a difference. First and foremost, both games do not include the term zombies.
