I feel like if I hype myself up I'll be disappointed, but I'm doing it anyways.
so stoked for this, DayZ done right - that's my wish
They have so many great ideas in DayZ, such a strong concept that is so poorly executed(yet it is still very good).
If SOE understands what makes DayZ compelling they can make a great game. I hope they don't cram to many players on the map, DayZ balance in that respect feels just right for the map size.
Totally this^^^
A DayZ esc clone on PS4 would knock it out of the park! But it has to be literally a DayZ clone with all the looting/survival/MP aspects/1st - 3rd person perspective etc.
Please, Please, Please don't half ass it SOE!
I'm leaving this thread now before I hype myself up for a fall.
I saw an IGN article on this this morning: http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/04/09/sony-online-entertainment-revealing-major-project-tonight.
"Currently being referred to as H1Z1, SOE president John Smedley explained via Twitter that "the new game we haven't announced" is set to be revealed tonight replete with gameplay footage at 5pm PT / 8pm ET / 1am GMT. All we have so far is a ghostly teaser site, suggesting the game may be rather spooky."
I'm interested in hearing more.
The art of cloning is something that should be more appreciated.
What is SWG??A zombie game with SWG mechanics is more exciting than just a polished DayZ clone, and they've said in the past that this game is made with SWG fans in mind. The more I think about it, the more I think it has a ton of potential.
What is SWG??
Thank u! I would've never figured that out lol.Star wars galaxies
You won't really see what I'm getting at in videos. The gameplay probably won't be similar either because apparently this is a shooter. Two examples of elements I'm talking about are SWG's player cities and its excellent crafting system, which went quite a bit more in-depth than most MMOs. If this game includes the cities system in particular I'll be very excited.Thank u! I would've never figured that out lol.
*off to look at some SWG vids
Planetside Z
yep same engine (SOE's Forgelight, same for EQ Next) and that makes me even more hyped (supports thousands of players, not 50 like DayZ does)
I'm getting sick of people calling The Last of Us a zombie game. It isn't. Zombies rise from the dead. The affliction in TLOU is caused by cordyceps, an actual thing which occurs in nature. In the game, people get infected, eventually swell, burst, and spores are sent into the air for the cycle to repeat. No zombies.
Edit: I know I'm off topic, I'm just sick of people parotting lies
Thousand of players support would be a bad thing. What is a appealing about DayZ and what makes it "believable" is that your are not in a war-zone with people bunny hopping everywhere its a much more slow paced strategic game. The best situations in DayZ are simple things: You hear gunshots in the woods and decide to check it out. You identify a survivor and decide to follow his for a while, eventually you decide that he seems friendly enough but as you are going to approach him, shots are fired in your direction and confusion ensues (like he turns and shoot you because its the first person he sees, you still manage to kill him, but now you are bleeding, and the person who fired the first shots are still around).yep same engine (SOE's Forgelight, same for EQ Next) and that makes me even more hyped (supports thousands of players, not 50 like DayZ does)
What time is the announcement? I need a competent DayZ game in my veins like, yesterday.

Some other stuff from the website: DTKR.trackEvent({eventName:"playFreeButton"});DTKR.notify("clickPlayButton");}); {eventName:"betaRegDisplayed"});DTKR.notify("beta_reg_displayed")
Give it to me. Now. Simultaneous PS4 beta and launch please. I've been trying to squelch my hype all day but when you say Beta... I just can't ignore it.some redditor found this
#get #hype
I'm surprised it's taken this long for a major studio to take a stab at a MMO Zombie Apocalypse game. It's pretty clear from games like DayZ and Rust that a sandbox-MMO type zombie/survival game will just print money. Fortunately for Sony, no other competent studio with a lot of resources has attempted to develop such a game.
So is there somewhere to watch this being announced or are they just sticking the info online when it happens?
How big is the team? And do you have a link? I haven't seen that info.Don't let the hype get you! I hope it's good, but the size of the team kind of worries me a little bit.

H1Z1 is an MMO that allows players to take on the roll of an apocalypse survivor who is in a world that is filled with zombies,"
"When you see a zombie coming up to you with nothing out but a highway flare. But here is something your gonna be able to do that you can't do in these other games: Light things on fire. We are in the middle of putting that in so you are gonna be able to burn down trees, burn down stuff, and that's gonna be a lot of fun. The idea is that these players [are] building these forts and all of the sudden these other guys coming in lighting it on fire and waiting till they come out of the fortress ... is awesome."
"Oh God yeah," Smedley said when asked about day and night, "but in this game it matters a lot more than in others because it gets really dark at night and you need to have a torch and you will be ganked by other players, zombies. So we [have] vehicles in here. We can actually have aircraft if we want. Our goal is to build out this entire massive massive world that is this apocalypse of the United States."
So... Day Z...?
Thanks for that, 1am for me in the UK.Don't let the hype get you! I hope it's good, but the size of the team kind of worries me a little bit.
