Hopefully the full game gets released on time. The beta is already great for a beta.

Kopa i also really wished this game was on PS4


Yeah that would be pretty awesome if it was.


I heard a rumour that they will be releasing it for PS4 in May!


that rumor isnt true cause its still in alpha on pc, and its no where near ready for console, although in the past tech posts on ttg they did say they depending on the success of the game on pc, itll determine if they port it over at a later time


Maybe that's why they are adding a lot more dev to their team o.0

DayZ isn't even that big of a game ... I don't see why they are doing this.

Played this game once, and i found it very boring. They need to add more things ASAP.

Would probably play this game more if it was on consoles but I didn't particularly like this. I much prefer the game, "Nether".

This is great, meaning faster updates. I wonder if he plans to port the game over to consoles, if he did he would make a lot more money. I would love to see it on consoles though. As long as the game doesn't cost out the ying yang to buy.
