Hall: DayZ console port discussed with Sony; 'wait and see'
"Certainly I think if we don't – for want of a better word – 'fuck up' the PC release, then I would say a console port is almost certain," Hall told The Escapist. "I know a lot of people get really hot and bothered about it. Like, I'm not a console gamer, I'm a PC gamer, but I don't think it necessarily has to hurt things."
Hall has put his thoughts into action already: He met with Sony and people there were into the idea.
"It appears to be the kind of game that Sony are interested in; I think we just have to wait and see," he said. "We've talked and met with Sony, and they're obviously interested."
DayZ was initially scheduled to launch in December of last year, but now it won't see an alpha until June at the earliest. Hall's main concern is perfecting the client-server architecture, but once that's settled, he'll start sending out batches of alpha keys, possibly 50,000 at a time. And let's not forget that brief time Hall considered turning DayZ into a free-to-play experience.

-Fluttershy-HoytMayaHoyt This game just wouldn't work on consoles, the game would be full of cod kids who KOS.
It would be cool if it was put on consols.
No, it wouldn't, if you have ever played ArmA you would know what I mean
It would be okay, but the graphics will be terrible.
Not necessarily look at crysis 3, that game has amazing graphics, and it says nothing about 360 and ps3 it could be released for ps4 and the new xbox in which case the graphics will probly be on par with any current pc. And you cant even speculate on performance as much isnt known as of yet about the new consols abilities.

Relations This game wouldn't fit on console in my opinion, it's a pc game leave it there!
It could, i hope they atleast try.

Scoobie In my personal view coming from playing the pc mod I dont think he should
port it over because the console scene isnt really right for a game like DayZ because
servers would be really small and I doubt they could get away with the huge map
size like on PC.
Next-gen consoles shouldn't have a problem.
