Here's How DayZ Looks Running on Xbox One X Hardware

Take a look at the first gameplay video of DayZ running on Xbox One X hardware. The game is due to debut on the console later this year, while PC will get an engine change soon and PS4 will receive the game at a later date.

Lol, that middle finger at the beginning. Anyway this looks like piles of ass, State of Decay 2 looks much better.

[Alexious]

True, but the game world of DayZ is probably dozens of times bigger than State of Decay's. And this supports up to 60 players online, SoD 2 only 4.

[Kumakai]

DayZ is terrible. It could support 200 people and be bigger than a country still and still be sh*t. At least SD2 looks fun (and sometimes hilarious)

[zb1ftw777]

Big and empty is the same as small and empty.

Something you young ones have trouble learning.

[MadLad]

I'm questioning why we are comparing what is, essentially, a large arena that supports dozens of players, and was released years ago, to a yet-to-be released, single-player experience that features co-op?

[Kumakai]

Both survival zombie games. Why did people compare Drive Club - an arcade racer - to Forza MS - a racing simulator? Or Forza Horizons... an open world racer.

I think SD2 really focuses on co-op with a small team. That’s the hook.

@Kumakai
On a tech level they are not comparable. The networking of player-controlled characters in a PVP scenario imposes an immense additional cost on the CPU, compared to networking AI characters in PVE games (under the assumption that both implementations are made by competent people who know what they are doing). It has a lot to do with cheat-prevention, lag compensation and input responsiveness

explanation is in this series of articles: http://www.gabrielgambetta....

[Kumakai]

100% agree. Even if it isn’t as big it looks more fun and is graphically superior as well. I like the idea of a 4 man crew battling hordes.

[KillBill]

One is a story driven game that has co-op and the other is open world survival video game that has you create your own story by playing with others.

[Timesplitter14]

DayZ is an absolute trainwreck of a project and it looks like garbage.

It's also one of my top 3 favorite games of all time. I've never found any other game that gave me memorable moments and insane adrenaline rushes quite like it.

Everything that happens in DayZ feels like a story that really belongs to you, because none of it is scripted, and it all happens within a sandbox with other human players. So when you and your buddy get ambushed by 4 people in the middle of the night while you were sitting around a campfire, and you end up in an incredibly tense 30-minute long fight in the dark that ends with you miraculously winning and riding off with the enemy's truck as the morning sun is starting to rise, and you gotta go loot a hospital because your friend has a broken leg, it feels at least 1000x more exciting as if this happened in a scripted story mission of a single-player game

[SuperSaiyanGod41]

Have to agree and this looks like hardly any zombies around. Sod2 looks alot funner and way more polished with alot of zombies around the whole map.

[smolinsk]

Sadly it looks horrible, come on its a way too old of a game by now.

[Sono421]

I don't understand how Microsoft is allowing this game to come out on Xbox.. it's in development hell. I bought the game 3 years ago and it's almost exactly the same today. Still a buggy mess, have added almost nothing new at all, poorly optimized. It will be interesting to see how it runs on the OneX but it just isn't worth it as there seems to be no end in sight for the development and they barely improve it. Anyone buying this is wasting their money just as I did.

[bolimekurac]

that doesnt look good at all in any way, i fell asleep watching that

[CurbStompin]

The talking is annoying AF. Turn the audio off to enjoy.

[Berenwulf]

They are actually still working on this game?

[ocelot07]

Ill be honest here. Actually looks ok I was thinking this would be a mess on consoles with low FPS. However, Almost 5 years later the zombies still look rubbish.

[MadLad]

Love to see that the zombies, and other players, still teleport during combat. A game, based on the already completed framework of a mod, with years of development, and millions of copies sold, and the game still plays like an alpha.

The mod is in FAR better shape, and has been for years.

[MegamanXXX]

Another Zombie game

[Kumakai]

Meh. Hard pass. If anything I’d go with State of Decay 2

[Tobse]

Imagine you are 4 years into early access and the mod your game is based on still has more features.. Dayz in a nutshell

[cellfluid]

It seems Microsoft is so desperate for games t@ they release games in alpha mode years away from a finished product. (sea of Thieves/pubg) and now this... This is unacceptable. They really have nothing to look forward to..

[The_Jackel]

welcoms to GAAS ;)

[narsaku]

Don't bother with this game. It's complete garbage. They took EVERYTHING the community wanted, "NPC cities, base building, Foldable bikes, buyable cars, dynamic on-map missions and threw it out the friggen window and replaced it with wolves and hunting sim shit.

One of the biggest, disconnected jokes in the industry.

This is what happens when a dev that HATED Dayz cus it was more popular than their game, buys that modder cus greed, then when things fall to shit, and they take over? They're clueless as to why people loved Dayz, cus they never played it.

Key words: Dayz EPOCH <----- ...Nobody liked base Dayz, it was boring as fk.

[Simmo3D]

This game was announced for console so long ago. Almost completely forgot about it.

[opooqo]

Dayz isnt about the zombies, its about the players who become friends or foes. Where trust becomes a real thing, without it you are alone, with it you could have potentially some amazing ingame friends who will help you survive the squad of militarized guys coming down the road. But be careful with who you trust because it could be a savage killer waiting to shoot you in the back.

In dayz you avoid the zombies like the plague, asthey are merely there to annoy you and give enemy positions away. Dayz is about pure survival and fighting to stay alive so you dont start over. Imagine playing dark souls in a mode where if you die, you lose all your gear and weapons and must start from the beginning. Each player is a mini boss, but out there is your match, a player capable of killing you 9 times out of 10. Learn the map, learn the guns, learn hiding spots and ambush points. Avoid the airfield if you desire life, but storm it if you want great rewards. And the number one rule of dayz club... Dont get attached to your gear.

[Kerplunk80]

What the f is DayZ?

[sprinterboy]

So xbox owners defend pubg to the death but say this looks crap and boring? At least after watching the video it runs smoothly, gfx look better, animates trees etc, as for the fun well.

[Tsar4ever01]

Jeez, this game looks no different than PUBG. PUBG with zombies.

[shadowT]

I think they need more time.
