I've seen a mention of this as a new game coming soon -

http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/9/5599530/sony-onlin...

"The H1Z1 virus devastated mankind and left nothing but death and destruction in its wake and a world nearly empty of human life where the remnants of humanity are in a fight against extinction against those infected with the virus," Smedley revealed. "It's been 15 years since H1Z1 was first encountered and what's left of the world before it is overrun with the Infected. Humanity has been reduced to hiding in the shadows, searching desperately for food and water and anything that can help to survive even for another day. But the Infected aren't the only dangers in the world. Everyday life in the Apocalypse means dealing with all kinds of wild animals and the brutality of other survivors, as well as finding your next meal and a safe place to sleep."

Maybe it'll be a DayZ contender if they manage to get the gameplay balance right.

SOE's Forgelight engine sounds ideal for this. It already makes Planetside 2 look great, can't imagine how much more they can do with the performance advantage of less population per-sq-km.


It's F2P too? As long as they keep P2W out of it (and the reddit threads suggest they are being open about the monetisation side of things) then I'm looking forward to this smile

The monetisation on Planetside 2 is pretty fair, I never feel like I need to buy new weapons to shoot people better. Its mostly skins and stuff. If they stick to that, happy days.

This is pretty good.

Playing with a friend who has been playing the DayZ standalone quite tenaciously and he thinks that H1z1 is the better gameplay BUT DayZ currently has better graphics.

Liking the crafting and looking forward to when buildable camps/strongholds become available.

Also it's nice to see something get posted up on the forum then days later see a patch that fixes it. Benefits of large company backing from SOE though.

Playing a character called Shakeaspear on server "Zed" (pvp).

I have encountered the asshole.

"I'm Friendly! Friendly? Hello my friend. You are a friend yes?" *proceeds to punch me to death*

Moral of the story, only 66% of people with french accents can be trusted. biggrin

I got it via Steam.

No idea if it's out for PS yet.

You can build structures and they're adding little bits (only 150ish Mb patches) to it very regularly, more regularly than DayZ.

BUMP.

Ive got a decent gaming PC now, been looking at videos of this and it seems that other players on here are more 'friendly' than on rust. (RUST is mostly PVP)

If anyone else is still playing il get a copy and join you.

I play occasionally, am in the Trafalgar server with a nice little base set up and a couple of pick up trucks, its a little empty so don't venture in often.

Added you (im Wongshuis)

Dowloaded the game last night and im mightly impressed! played for around an hour and a half on a non-PVP server to get a feel for it,

Night time is scary as fk! Run round a corner and theres a black figure on the horizon standing in the fog, 'has he seen me?' A wolf howls somewhere to the right, im going left, what was the rustle of leaves?

Daytime, seems a little calmer, the zombies are different, make different noises, move at different speeds and some even seem tougher to kill than others. They can be distracted by scaring some wildlife.

and the graphics, very smooth, lovely effects, the UI is brilliant, crafting is unique and pretty well thought out.

I can see me putting some hours into this! smile

Which server do you use? its just wiped so may as well use a server that other PHers do.

Don't mind, I am in Trafalgar but there are some hackers and glitches in there, choose one which is PVP and I will get building a base as I know where the car spawns are and where to get the metal!

I'm playing a lot now, playing BR mostly.

Any tips on improving my aim? shoot

Also had a crack on survival last night, wasn't really sure what was going on? Big groups of people running around but not doing anything to me. Strange

Ive mostly avoided BR until i 'get' the game more.

Survival is just that, build a base, get a food supply going (animal traps, crow crops) defned your base. get some wheels etc.
Survival can be PVE or PVP.
