DayZ is coming to PlayStation 4

4.4
Modder turned developer Dean Hall took the stage at Sony's Gamescom presentation to announce an upcoming PlayStation 4 version of hit zombie survival sandbox DayZ. Details on the new version of the game are scant - Hall failed to mention a release date or even a vague window - but the PlayStation 4 game is based on an "entirely new cross-platform renderer" that will reportedly bring new, enhanced visuals to the undead apocalypse.

Beet Well it is gonna take a long time as it is taking a long time for them to finish it on PC. Right now DayZ is in pretty much Alpha and the mod is still much better than the standalone.


Its because ARMA is highly CPU dependent unlike most games.


I think you mean gpu. Also arma is one of the most unoptimized games of all time. My friend has a gtx 780 ti and he only gets around 40 fps on it. In all honesty the arma engine sucks as players are clunky, bad hit detection, poor optimization and many bugs.

Nah he means CPU, arma 2 is renowned for being very CPU intensive.

bigjoe2400TGG hahaha all the stupid xbox one owners dont get to play Dayz or planet side 2 their two best games while over at xbox one their playing dead rising hahaha so since you made a dumb choice first you will have to pay another 400 just for the system.


What a fanboy you are. I can play DayZ and Planet Side2 on my PC right now for free, so no I don't need to pay another 400 dollars. Us Xbox One owners are playing Dead Rising? There's PLENTY more Xbox One exclusives than that which you haven't mentioned because of your fanboism. You think because the PS4 can run a handful of games at a couple hundred pixels higher than the Xbox One, and that there's a few decent indie games coming to it, that it's the superior console? It's not. And it selling more units than the Xbox One doesn't make it superior either. The bottom line is the PS4 has sold more due to it's price. The One just recently adjusted down to match the PS4 and all you fanboys continue to rant how "lol ps4 better cus sold more and 1080p" like both consoles were the same price and were sold in the same markets and everything was 100% equal. So while you enjoy your sub-par PSN playing an old, glitch, unfinished indie game that's been on PC for years, I'll be enjoying my Xbox One exclusives on the second-to-none Xbox LIVE.

I hope the added pixels were worth it, because 120 more pixels isn't going to make a game more fun, nor is it going to get you Halo: Master Chief Collection, Quantum Break, Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive or Crackdown 3. Oh but by all means, enjoy your two dated Indies, I'm sure they'll be even more fun with the added pixels. ;)


As ignorant as his comment was, your argument has some weak points. 1080p versus 720p (or 900p) is not a "couple hundred pixels, even as a light PC gamer that should be common knowledge to you.


I love the whole pixel row cos its pointless imo. I have a pretty decent tele and all the games look good to me i dnt c the point of the obsession with 1080p games and no1 seems to pick up or care about the fact that most games focus so much on how tey look and dont seem to care how games play which is the real point. Id be more than happy wit a game at 720 that was amazing to play then 1080 that is average but pretty to look at


That's a pretty much a given thing.. Of course you would rather play the better game that looked a slight bit worse.

The whole 1080p vs 720p vs 900p vs 4k etc. argument is completely valid. There is a significant difference between them. Saying that there's barely a change between them is like the typical "you can't see more than 30/60 fps" circlejerk that console users seem to defend their platform with.
I would rather play a game on medium setting at 1080p than have ultra at 720p.


The 30 vs 60 fps is in a whole different league than 1080 vs 900/720p. You can't compare a game looking better on a 40' TV to how smooth and responsive a game is, they don't have equal importance. If there was a cross-plat game coming out for the One and the PS4, and the One ran it at 30FPS and the PS4 ran it at 60FPS, the PS4 would win, hands down. If the One was outputting @ native 1440p and the PS4 was outputting @ native 720p, the PS4 would still win. Anyone using a PS4 would have a huge advantage over anyone using the One. FPS differences affect gameplay, pushing extra pixels to an HDTV doesn't. Yeah higher resolution looks better on a big screen, but I'd accept 60FPS @ 720p over 1080p @ 30FPS any time of the day. Isn't that what #PCMasterRace kiddies constantly gloat about? "GG console peasants with your 30fps potatoes" amirite? Then I'm sure you can see what I'm getting at.

Now, onto your pixels = better looking game argument. While this is true, it's.. not. Yeah more pixels = tighter pixel compression = things look more clear, BUT does not = the game looks good. COD 4 @ 1080p is still COD 4, it just looks more clear on an HDTV, or decent monitor. Now turn the graphic settings down to low, no shadows, AA/MSAA, V-Sync, impacts etc and the game looks pretty bad right? Oh but it's running in 1080p, so it should look good right? No. A bad looking game running at a high resolution doesn't magically make it look good. I would rather play a game at high settings @ 720p than a game at medium settings @ 1080p. That's like eating at a diner with fine china vs eating at a fancy restaurant with normal silverware. Yeah the plate at the diner may be pretty, but the food is still mediocre, and a fancy plate isn't going to change that. It's almost like you're being a PC elitist and throwing logic out the window, unless you truly do believe a game running at medium settings @ 1080p looks better than a maxed out game at 720p, in which case I suggest you visit an optometrist.


Oh and btw, 1080p vs 4k is like comparing night and day, where as 1080p vs 720p is like comparing how light it is outside from 1pm to 3pm. You really shouldn't go to those extremes when making an argument, it shows how desperate you are to force your elitism to us "console peasants".

Aww This is gonna be sick! If only it could come to Xbox!

This is good to here since my PS4 has just been sat there picking up dust since about a month after I've got it due to lack of games, having this should give me another reason to play it again.
