That looks freaking good as well
Yay zombie games all round 
And guys stop being so petty about saying that it is a rip of DayZ, none of these games have even been released, you have no idea what came first, and besides that point, everything is slightly copied from something in one form or another.
Its like Stockholm syndrome but for gamers...

What I've always wanted is a Zombie MMORPG set in a world as big and open as WoW. You start as Human and go from there. Give it graphics akin to the latest modern combat sims, but beyond that it's every man for himself.

I don't see it as a rip off, after all Zombies have been a part of gaming since it began & with the exposure in the media over the last few years especially, things like the excellent books by Max Brooks "The Zombie Survival Guide" & "World War Z" (which I advise everyone to read) games such as this were bound to come along, typical we get two at once.
Day Z is great but there is room for competition in this area & it can only be good for us IMO.

But DayZ is a mod, this is a full game, you would expect developing a whole game is going to take more time!
Anyway this could be awesome, or just flop. We will see.
I think they have been overused for a while, but zombie mmos are the new big thing.

Is beta registration really that easy? input email, presss ok, be greeted with a blank white box? well okay then.
I can see a couple of issues with this concept. For me day-z works so well because in my opinion it fits with how a Zombie apocolypse might be.
What I mean is when you start adding things like 'pvp' areas and levelling and everything else to a game like this, it detracts from the main theme. Surviving a zombie apocolypse.
I would love to see this work, I love Day-z and welcome games that can work on the concept and polish it and make it better.
EDIT - Re read the article. I'm guessing they mean open world 'pvp' like day-z.

It sounds like it could be brilliant. Safes zones and things might bring many people over from DayZ, being able to level up skills and so on will also put many people off as they play DayZ for the realism of there being no abilities and such.
I dont think anyone cares if its a rip off or a homage or whatever, although it clearly is, you only need to look at that survivor in the first screenshot to see the office worker with cap/backpack style - there is no way you would come up with that independently. And if you wanted to separate out your game rather than say appeal to Dayz players you wouldnt make *your* survivors look like that.
But who cares? Good games that result are good for everyone, copying a great game like Day Z just makes it more likely to be a great game. In my head this is currently Day Z lite - I have no idea about whether I would like quests / safe zones but Im very pleased im getting the option.

+1, its like; why even bother to hate on this, if your that much of a fanboy just go and play DayZ and leave us superior people in peace.
But DayZ is a mod, this is a full game, you would expect developing a whole game is going to take more time!
My statement was to counter all of the 'ZOMG DIS IZ A DEYZEE REPORF LAWL' nonsense. I really think you need to go on the naughty step Mr! Or have your bedtime lowered to 8 for a few weeks, cheeky!
As I said before, how do we know Rocket didn't branch off from this dev team and steal all of the concepts? It wouldn't be illegal if there was no patent, and nobody heard of WarZ or the dev team behind it until recently. Not outright accusing him, but these things do work both ways...
WarZ evidence: Rocket keeps banging on about some 'rubbish' dev team he left, and refuses to name them.
DayZ evidence: A few screenshots of a man in a cap with a backpack.
Fo'sho.
Some guy just knocked up couple of screenshots after playing Dayz. Been in development for ages my ass.
We are the winners tho as they go head to head to be the best zombie survival game.
Pinning my hopes on Dayz though as Rocket seems to like the Eve Online eco system, would love to see something like that in an fps.
not talking about stront timers gtfo.

I really, really do hope that's sarcasm/overexaggeration, to suggest those screenshots are even remotely close to being taken in DayZ is pathetic.

So what youre saying is they didnt copy it but they did... but glad the devs were saying they were thinking about it before Day Z because that clearly seals your point.
'DayZ doppleganger The War Z announced' - Eurogamer
'The War Z announced: zombie survival shooter-MMO with strong parallels to Day Z' - PCGamer
'DayZ Might Have Some Competition From A New Zombie MMO' - Kotaku
But dont let any of the above opinions convince you theres any correlation between the two. You are correct, they are totally independent coincedental creations . And that is about as far as I can bothered to take this very boring discussion I couldnt care less about.

Interesting, I really want to play DayZ but can't justify spending money on Arma 2 when I have next to little funds for an alpha, but have been following it, watching let's plays and various things..
So subbing to this thread
