Days Gone Bike Secret: How Deacon’s Motorcycle Has 4 Wheels | #shorts
272In this video, I will reveal a surprising secret about Deacon’s bike in Days Gone. You may think that Deacon’s motorcycle is a normal two-wheeled bike, but it is actually not. In fact, Deacon’s bike has four wheels instead of two. Why is that? How did the developers of Days Gone manage to hide this fact from the players? And what does this have to do with Unreal Engine 4?
Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game that was released in 2019 for PlayStation 4 and in 2021 for Microsoft Windows. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic Oregon, where a former outlaw biker named Deacon St. John tries to survive in a world overrun by zombie-like creatures called Freakers. Deacon’s bike is his main mode of transportation and his most valuable possession in the game. He can customize and upgrade his bike with various parts and features, such as engine, exhaust, tires, fuel tank, and more.
However, there is something that Deacon and the players don’t know about his bike. His bike actually has four wheels instead of two. This is because the game was developed using Unreal Engine 4, which is a powerful and popular game engine that can create stunning graphics and realistic physics. However, Unreal Engine 4 does not support two-wheeled vehicles by default. The developers of Days Gone had to find a workaround to make Deacon’s bike work in the game.
The workaround that they used was to add two extra wheels to Deacon’s bike and make them invisible. These hidden wheels are located at the front and rear of the bike, and they are attached to the visible wheels by invisible rods. These hidden wheels provide stability and balance to the bike, while the visible wheels provide steering and movement. The developers also had to tweak the physics and animations of the bike to make it look like a normal two-wheeled motorcycle.
This is how Deacon’s bike has four wheels in Days Gone. It is a clever trick that the developers used to overcome the limitations of Unreal Engine 4.
