Despite the numerous delays, in terms of anticipation, DayZ Standalone is still at the top of my list. And yes, as the article briefly touched upon, the zombies are a bigger threat in DayZ Standalone, however, the game is still best served through player-to-player encounters, which are far more frantic and heart pumping than thwarting z-freaks.

Based on the development updates, DayZ looks to bring more balance to player interaction, which in theory will mediate the mod's current, "shoot on site" philosophy.

Yeah I heard about that, something to do with gear becoming damaged if you kill a player by shooting them.

My question is whats to stop you from executing them after you've held them up and stripped them of their belongings?

Well...I can imagine the holding up part being particularly dangerous because of the threat of zombies as well as the threat of other people coming upon your little exchange.

AxeCain3854d ago

I really haven't seen any official statement about it but I think the DayZ standalone has been named "Human Element".
Link to game website - http://www.humanelementgame...
Link to Blog that lists Dean Hall - http://robotoki.tumblr.com/

Its listed for next gen consoles on IGN also.

Pretty solid list of the best zombie games.

Sadie21003854d ago

How to Survive is definitely interesting, but it makes me want to play Dead Nation and not worry about food and water and all that.

Raistlinhawke3854d ago

I always felt that the best stories to tackle zombies used the actual creatures as a more secondary threat. As a monster, they feel better suited to be a reflection of the worst of humanity than any credible danger.

kenthegreat13854d ago

Humans ARE always the real monster.

Unless there's actual monsters, then that's far worse.

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit66d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead66d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica65d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL65d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit65d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper65d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica64d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit66d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer66d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit65d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218365d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer65d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218365d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper65d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal66d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood66d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218365d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde66d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
