DayZ hits Steam Early Access right in the head

4.5
The zombies are finally here! Hooray! DayZ is now available for PC on Steam Early Access for $30. As always, those who buy the early version will get the final build when it launches – and developer Bohemia Interactive is certain to note that the current release is truly an unfinished version of the game:

"DayZ Early Access is your chance to experience DayZ as it evolves throughout its development process. Be aware that our Early Access offer is a representation of our core pillars, and the framework we have created around them. It is a work in progress and therefore contains a variety of bugs. We strongly advise you not to buy and play the game at this stage unless you clearly understand what Early Access means and are interested in participating in the ongoing development cycle."

This echoes the sentiment from DayZ creator Dean Hall earlier this month, when he cautioned potential players that the Early Access version would be "barebones." Still, YouTubers are encouraged to show the world what DayZ's bones look like, Hall says on Twitter.

DayZ hit Early Access with a launch trailer, but that was pulled from Steam for being too graphic.

Anniversary Can someone tell me what alpha is? I'm assuming it's alpha stage as in first stage? Correct me if I'm wrong


Alpha is pretty much the first step of the testing process available to consumers. It also comes before Beta testing

Alpha --> Beta --> Full Game

I think you cleared this up pretty clearly.

Graphics don't make the game, the gameplay dopes, the graphics are a bonus. I still have fun with vice city and look at their graphics.

Axe It looks pretty good, but I don't know if I want to pay another 30 dollars to play basically the same game that I already have.


Yes but it won't be the same, and also it's not a mod.
