Well im excited about this f2p dayz like game. Haven't really been excited for another game for a while since planetside 2 just ruined every other game for me lol. But i know this game is made off the same engine for planetside 2 just modified as Smedly said. The game will have tons of cool features. But i was wondering if anybody else interested in it?? i will post links so ya can check it out. Homepage: https://www.h1z1.com/home J.Smedly Reddit post about the game and what it is: http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comments/22niku/what_is_h1z1/ Small gameplay: But ya it will be playable in 4-6 weeks in alpha stage and you can pay 20 dollars if you wanna try it out before it releases as a F2P game. SOME INFO ABOUT THE GAME. Gameplay Details First Person or Third Person shooter Zombie Survival Night is dark and full of terrors Player versus Player at it's core. More than just zombies in the world Base Building, Town building, Fortress creation Can burn down things others build. Lots of crafting. Probably the biggest thing about the game. Vehicles are already in. Possibility of aircraft in the future. Based off the United States. If you die, you lose your gear. It stays on your corpse. "No skills or levels". "Thousands of players". I'm willing to bet this will be larger, playercount wise, than planetside 2. There will be Hunting. Tech Details PC first, PS4 later. "Well, we are Sony" when asked about the PS4 version. In terms of cross-platform play, Planetside 2 will not be doing cross platform due to the logistics of updating the game on the PS4 vs the PC. I expect that this has not changed so I don't see cross-platform play happening. SOE has made no comment on this point however, so I could be talking out of my ass. "If you can run Planetside 2, you can run H1Z1 better". "Orders of magnitude larger than Planetside 2". Based of Planetside 2. Shares no tech with Everquest Next (so no Voxels). Built in voice chat options. Monetization Details Free to play Part of the All-Access subscription that SOE is launching this month. $15/mo for premium sub in all SOE games. "you seriously don't need to spend a dime. We're still figuring out the monetization but we will telegraph our plans early and let people comment and we'll listen if they don't like something and come to a place where people feel good about it." -Smed, in this thread Early Access ($20ish, on steam) in 4-6 weeks. When do we get more details? Screenshots will start coming out almost immediately. The next playtest will be Live streamed (I have good intel that it will be Monday).
It's gonna be just like dayz. People won't aim to survive but will just shoot before saying anything.
