*** Infestation: Survivor Stories ***

Those screenshots look fantastic. That's why DayZ isn't that immersive, doesn't have overgrown grass/plants and run down buildings and stuff like a world would have when everyone stops working.
 
Yeah this guy has far too much time on his hands, but it makes an interesting read! "tl;dr even the executive producer of the game admits several times they only started working on the game as early as May 2012" started in may and finished by fall, sounds like so much time and effort has gone into this!
 
There is a reason you have never heard of it Jono!

Fancy some ARMA II vanilla today?

Would love to, but I'm at work all day then busy pretty much all night :(

Just read some War Inc reviews...Lol. Now I'm not looking forward to War Z so much. I really hope DayZ standalone is a success, but I have some hopes for how it might work....as an SMMOw (Small Massively Multiplayer Online whatsit)
 
There are many who would like to see a game of the same type i.e. vast and open world. The above game seems obviously to be cashing in, just in terms of the name. Many can’t run DayZ high enough to get reasonable graphics, plus all the glitches that arma 2 has that are still being ironed out (you have to really love the game to stick with it sometimes) it can seem a pointless route to go down.

There is huge potential for DayZ to develop into something great, if a modding community similar to the one the arma series has already, get behind it, then really you would find it hard to touch, scale and addon wise. It’s a big ‘if’ though, but there are fans in the arma playing community who like dayz and some are mod makers and of course there will be new players who will possibly make terrains/addons for it. BIS provide the tools to do it and also the editor for players to do almost anything they like with missions etc, it’s a hard act to follow, I would imagine.

But for the many that can’t run a2 that well, a new zombie game along similar lines would, no doubt, be a godsend..

The only reason why many find it hard to run dayz, is that it is based on probably the heaviest island/terrain to run ‘Chernarus’, however there are lots of terrains for arma 2 well over 100, many are a lot lighter to run. Already ‘Lingor’ terrain is now available for dayz, although that’s quite heavy to run as well, but ‘Dingor’ will follow suit and that’s a lite version terrain to run. I would, if I were a fan of the zombie genre, keep an eye on dayz, there could be much bigger things ahead..;)
 
Looks fun! I've always loved zombie films and games so I will get this.

I haven't played a role playing game for years..will be fun to get back into one again although they do become addicting and time consuming lol

Hopefully you'll be able to create parties and find people to survive with and I hope there's vehicles etc
 
The new screens just confirm how terrible this looks and that it is War Inc with zombies put in. I feel sorry for the flocks of people who don't know about how terrible War Inc was and are expecting this to be a totally new amazing experience :(
 
Just tried War Inc and the engine is 10x better than the ArmA one. There's posts on the official forums where people have tried the War Inc game and most agree it's much better to play on.
