Support NeoGAF

[SolidSnakex]

"Certainly I think if we don't, for want of a better word 'fuck up,' the PC release then I would say a console port is almost certain," Hall revealed. "I know a lot of people get really hot and bothered about it. Like, I'm not a console gamer, I'm a PC gamer, but I don't think it necessarily has to hurt things."

But what consoles would be likely to see a DayZ title in the future? At the moment it seems like the PS4 may be the leading candidate. "It appears to be the kind of game that Sony are interested in, I think we just have to wait and see," he continued. "We've talked and met with Sony, and they're very - you know, they're obviously interested."

I guess that explains the "DayZ100" username during the PS Meeting.

Do it! Please do it!

EDIT:
If it were to make the jump to the PS4, do you guys think Sony would allow mods and KB&M support like UT3?

 

[childplease]

Great now hes gonna dumb down the pc version.

Thankfully Arma 3 is just around the corner and the modding community will outdo rocket, only a matter of time.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Do it Sony, do it for mankind.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Yes please

 

[flipswitch]

Thank you PC style architecture. It's already paying off.

 

[benny_a]

Sony is interested in everything, I'm surprised they haven't posted in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread yet.

Haha wow.

 

[el retorno]

The WarZ was the crappy game and this is the good one?

 

[Infernal Monkey]

I'd hit it.

 

[Fezan]

what is with every developer praising sony these days beside Epic

 

[educator]

Yes please! Would love to see it on the PS4!

 

[UrbanRats]

Yeah, even though i have a good PC, it's good to see Sony proactive, anyway.

 

[Xater]

Man Sony is making all the cool moves these days.

 

[Nibel]

Sony has very good taste

 

[7he Talon]

Sounds good to me.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Yes.

 

[benny_a]

I don't see any quote of him praising Sony.

 

[jabuseika]

Sony, I would love you forever, make this happen.

 

[jabuseika]

Epic makes Xbox exclusive games? Do you really need more.

 

[Thoraxes]

It'd be weird to see it without custom server mods, but I suppose a vanilla version could work for some people.

 

[Kusagari]

Please do it!

 

[Night_Trekker]

I always confuse DayZ with TheWarZ :/ (I guess that was kind of the idea with the latter, wasn't it?)

This is pretty cool, though I imagine they're going to be tweaking the stand-alone version for a while to get it right.

 

[Spinluck]

I always thought this filler username was weird.

Probably doesn't mean shit, but out of all the PSN usernames you could use for demonstration purposes you choose that? Lol.

 

[zainetor]

how much, before someone asks him about wiiu?

 

[DirtyManos]

My biggest problem with dayz became the hacking epidemic and poor admins on some servers. It ultimately led me to just wait for the standalone (whether that'll stop hackers etc is something else).

Would a console version make this problem much less problematic, even nonexistent? I think I would trade modability for playability.

 

[Majanew]

Hell yeah. I'll be there Day Z on PS4 version.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Oh man, this could be such a colossal hit on consoles.

Please make it happen.

The hacking problems stemmed from the inherent modability/scripting nature of the engine the original Arma II game was running on. Making it into a standalone should have eliminated these vulnerabilities and moving a lot of the things to server-side. Granted, there will still be hackers, but I don't think you'll see anymore than the amount you see on BF3 or other PC MP games.

Not much can be said for PS4 till it's out in the wild.

 

[kittens]

I am also interested in this.

 

[metalslimer]

Read it as War Z and was expecting April fools

 

[Noisepurge]

sony has done some drastic changes to the publishing system that is causing all indies to jump on board.

free devkits? no release costs to PSN? something!

 

[sappyday]

Never realized this.

I've always wanted to play DayZ so I'll get it for sure.

 

[reptilescorpio]

This would sell tons, pump him full of attention Sony.

 

[eot]

Bring it to more people!
It's such a good game I want everyone to experience it.

 

[zainetor]

minecraft sold tons on xboxlive. This could be even bigger.

 

[Ardenyal]

Would buy just to play a version without hackers.

Bohemia Interactive isn't exactly indie.

 

[Truant]

Sony seems to be on it lately. Might switch consoles next gen. Exciting times!

 

[B1gg_Randall]

Please let this happen.

 

[Rezbit]

Cross play with PC please!

 

[eot]

Awesome news. I wonder if there will be an offline mode for it if it happens.

Hmm, that'd be weird. Being multiplayer is so fundamental to what it is. It affects the game even when you're not directly interacting with other players. If you fire your gun you might reveal your position to another player, same with running across a field or looting a high value area. It is what gives the game tension, it's like a large scale PvP stealth game. Well it's more than that, but it can be that. You can't make an AI that will stalk you for 10 minutes and then rob you at gunpoint, or note the location of your hideout and wait until all your friends return and kill them.

 

[raphier]

Sony has been killing it recently with PC developers.

 

[Man]

Fuck Yeah!

 

[Radec]

Do it Valve style.

Buy on either version, get both.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Wow, well spotted! I don't think that's a coincidence

 

[subversus]

Bohemia Interactive isn't exactly indie.

they are independent so they are indie.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I would buy this if I had a good PC, and I will buy it if it comes to PS3/4

 

[Superflat]

Hmm, well me getting a PC version is pretty much confirmed since a lot of my PC buddies have been planning on grouping up once it comes out.

Great news if it gets on PS4 though since there are plenty of console only players out there who should experience it. I might even double dip when I get a PS4.

 

[Punkster_NY]

seal the deal Sony, make it happen.
