We've been working on our own zombie for PS3 (Sony's request) for a while.
Would you guys play this if we make it on PC as a huge open world like in Chernarus. With lots of towns, villages, drivable vehicles, clans, trading merchants, resources, etc?
We are thinking about doing this right now. This way you wont have problems with servers, buggy environment and combat system, and all the exploration zombie surviving you want
How about it?
Yes, and yes and yes. If you guys can do this correct, you will have all my money. Maybe some sort of thing that people can get infected to, weather etc can make you catch a flu etc. And when i said infected, i think about being in a group with people - but you aren't sure if a person in the group is infected or not, he might become a zombie and attack. And yeah, open world would be awesome - but perhaps tall buildings should be there that you can enter, defend and so forth. And if you include helicopters etc, that would be very cool.. Good luck with your project![]()
As long as you don't make it "free to play". The concept doesn't work and only turns into either "pay to win" or "pay much more in the end than the retail price of a game"
BTW I know everything a zombie game (a really, really good one, there's none that exist imho) needs and what all the existing games done wrong.
No we are not going to make it a Free To Play Game.
F that
Most likely it will be one time purchase fee for something like $15-20. Similar to Minecraft.
However there will be GOLD currency in the game that you can purchase for real $ money. With that currency you can buy attachments for weapons, different skins, different cute things, but nothing to make you "WIN" in this game. Its gona be more for "comfort" and cosmetic.
Everything that you will be able to buy in the store will be scattered and placed around in the WORLD. You just have to find itAnd I mean everything. But we wont let people who are spoiled rich or well off in real life purchase Hummer with a 50 cal and 5 HK 417s with top of the line scopes. NOPE, not gona happen. You must find it first to even see it in the Merchant Store.
Merchant stores and safe zones will be placed through out the world, very similar to Fallout 3. There will be towns in which there will be Walled Off Districts for players to rest, sleep, take a bath, buy a meal, restock their supplies for their next adventure. Flirt or have *** with others![]()
or check message boards and postings. Most likely even pick up a job/quest by a real person. The guns will not be allowed in those zones to avoid chaos and mayhem. But be careful when you exit out of the Safe Zone. There will be players who will turn barbarians or raiders. Everyone will be free to make their own faction or a clan too.
Another thing we are going to give players is the chance to earn their own Gold (Real money currency). There will be special types of zombies roaming through the world at very special places, and only at night. If you kill them, you can get their Brain Stem Cells, and trade that at the nearest merchant, trading post, city, for REAL GOLD. So players will have the chance to go and get those Stem Cells and make real money. Those zombies wont be a joke to deal with though, so you will have to pack military gear to fight them, or work together with a friend.
Should I start a whole new thread about this to start gathering your guy's requests/ideas ?
A sandbox-ish zombie/survival game is one something I have wanted for quite a while.
You're talking, BI's developer Rocket is already doing it. No offense and all, but DayZ is about the only thing so far, that finally got the genere right. I understand DayZ is alpha, buggy and unstabil, but to claim DayZ is doing it wrong, is a ****ing bold statment.
Yea, you kinda crampin DayZ's style, pimp yo own games in yo own threadz yo and remember you're only original if you actually get the idea first.
Im not just talking Fargin,
we made an open world with zombies for PS3 back in 2010. Files are dated
Reason we didnt port it to PC is because we were busy with War Inc. Now that we have the time, and half of the game already done, we are going to port our work we did for the past 2 years to PC and work on it more.
I didnt say Day Z is doing it wrong, I meant RIGHT now, as in Right now 2012.
