DayZ lead wants game on consoles, 'having meetings' about it at Gamescom

Joystiq:

DayZ project lead Dean Hall "really hopes" the game is successful enough to justify a console version. Speaking to us today at Gamescom, the developer, who has been thrust into the spotlight thanks to the incredibly successful Arma2 mod, told us the only stumbling block is DayZ needs to be successful enough to justify a console version.

I would love to see that.

And me, Arma 2 doesnt run very well on my laptop, bit of a no-brainer admittedly

Bubbles for me being psychic please

Notice how many disagree's i got lol

[Angrymorgan]

I'm not so sure.
After all isn't it just a mod??, i don't y know a great deal about it but to what I know, there doesn't seem like there is much to do other than walk around a lifeless map, shoot zombies and bandits, search for ammo and that's it.
I would much prefer project zomboid because there is more to do, barricade buildings, build safe houses etc.

Just my opinion

This would be awesome. I've heard a lot about DayZ and checked out some youtube 'lets play' - that looks really fun. It's kinda what I was hoping Dead Island would be long long ago. I'd love to play it, but my PC is not even close to being capable of running it (I'm one those rare freaks who prefer controllers anyway) so having it on console would be a blessing.

I smell a timed 360 exclusive.

[xXBlondieVanHarlowXx]

I said the exact same thing after reading the title *Sigh* :(

[adonis183]

microsoft wasnt at gamescon, i hope it comes to PS3

[ALLWRONG]

So... they only make deals at Gamescon?

[Sgt_Slaughter]

Oh my god that would make my 360 so happy! I mean, Left 4 Dead AND DayZ on the same console?!? (I can do it on my laptop but still it's awesome either way.)

*faints from excitement*

[Shadonic]

I literally said that it would be awesome if day z came to console last night and here we are reading an article about it. Dreams do come true Q.Q

[MadLad]

Would like to see this.

A lot of my friends are purely console players. A lot of fun could be had.

[Cra2yey3]

That would kick @ss! I'm addicted to just watching YouTube videos about the game.

Well then you should try www.Twitch.tv

Type "DayZ" in the search box (at the top next to the word browse) and hit "Enter" (on your keyboard)

then look for the icons with the "Red Dot" indicating that these PC Gamers are currently playing the DayZ "LIVE" and enjoy the stream!!

[ATi_Elite]

NO NO NO NO!

Do not dumb down DayZ for console!!!! Let them enjoy WarZ and Class3, good games designed for consolers.

I love DayZ cause it has a PC Game feel to it. I DO NOT play console games and if DayZ gets consolitis it will surely loose it's CORE gameplay (like EVERY PC title ported to console) to appeal to the casual or console experience!

Call of Duty, Crysis, Battlefield, all started as PC exclusives then got ported to console and are now no longer any good as they all are Pretty much the same game now suffering from consolitis. No strategy, no tactics, no thinking involved, no learning curve, no realism/simulation. Just mash buttons and run around.

Again Consoles have their style of play and PC has it's so hopefully DayZ will stay grounded in it's PC roots and become even MORE complicated.

[Coach_McGuirk]

i would hate to see Day Z compromised like that as well.

[Plagasx]

Actually War Z is a PC only title.
