PostH1Z1 - DayZ clone turned battle royale (PC, PS4, X1 later)

Couldn't see a thread on this, but this looks like it has potential.

Like the title suggests, it's about a zombie virus-ridden post-apocalypse... It takes place 15 years after the virus broke out and players will have to scavenge for supplies, craft tools, and fight against the undead, wildlife, and other survivors alike.

Smedley noted that like previous SOE games, H1Z1 will have a large scope with seemlessly connected open countrysides and concentrated urban jungles. "Our focus is building a sandbox style of gameplay where players can build shelters out of resources in the world," Smedley explained. "They can even work together to make amazing fortresses complete with weaponry to help defend against both the Infected and other players. Players also have access to a very deep crafting system that can let players make a huge variety of awesome stuff, including weapons and things like Molotov cocktails, explosives.. and other fun surprises."

Zombie game isn't a genre. Bored of hearing this every time a new game with zombies in it is announced.

This one does look like it's got a lot of potential and SOE know what they're doing, so it could be great :D

Sandbox zombie scavenge/survival multiplayer games like this are quickly becoming a genre though, one that is getting a bit oversubscribed.

Perhaps there should be fewer games with zombies in them. It shows an utter lack of creativity to just slap zombies in everywhere, because they have been completely overdone.

At the same time, next-gen Dead Island without all the bugs, and with more people involved, in clans, sounds pretty good to me.

Lots of genres are over-subscribed - the cream rises to the top and is worth playing regardless of how often it's been done. If this turns out to be gooseberry fool, it'll sink without trace. It's not something to fret over though. :lol:

Couldn't care less how overdone it is if the games are good and I enjoy them.

Well said, Maf. Zombies never get tired, for me. This game looks intriguing. The developer seems certain it's coming to PS4, as well as PC - that is interesting. I'd definitely welcome a 'DayZ' type game like this for the console. From the video, it looks pretty good, too. One to keep an eye on.

The developer says quite clearly in that video (towards the end) that a PS4 version is going to be available.

He's referring to the Xbox One/PC MMO made my Undead Labs who also made State of Decay.

Not sure why you are trying to cause an argument out of nothing.

No I dunno what he was on about MS being mentioned in this game, I know its not. I just thought it's interesting that Sony and MS are both making similar games, thats all.

(im not sure the undead labs mmo is coming to PC btw)

Perhaps he mis-read what you typed and thought you suggested both Sony and MS were working on this game..

I wondered why you came into a topic about a PC and PS4 game to mention a different game.

Yes?
