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.

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.

Good news i spose but they need to fully release it on the pc 1st its hardly out for tht atm is it. Plus it wasnt long ago the developer of dayz quit and they were wondering were else to go with the game this wont appear on the ps4 for at least 3 yrs i think

I'm personally looking forward to it but I'm interested how they're going to use the functions of the controller. And also to see how you do things such as open your backpack and the many other buttons you have to press on keyboard. With you being able to have so much more control with aiming with a mouse, I hope the aiming with analog sticks is good.

I also think H1Z1 may end up coming to PS4 in the future as it's being made by SOE, that will be interesting.

vWatsonc I hope they also release it for Xbox 360/One because I have it on my PC and it doesn't run to well.


It wouldn't be able to run on the 360, if it was able to it wouldn't be enjoyable.

I've always wanted to pay Dayz but I can't play with mouse and keyboard to save my life.
