H1Z1 on PS4 planned to follow a steady PC release

4.7

Sony Online Entertainment's zombie-survival online game H1Z1 must first find stable footing on PC before the game begins to take shape on PS4, Senior Game Designer Jimmy Whisenhunt tells Joystiq.

Months after being announced with a promise to launch on Steam Early Access, H1Z1 is still in closed testing. Whisenhunt says his team doesn't want to rush to market, instead setting a goal to release a game to Early Access that's as technically stable as it is fun.

"I would love to have it next week," Whisenhunt laughs. "The thing about [Early Access] is the community takes a look at a bunch of streams and says 'It looks really cool. It looks playable. Please release it.' But our concerns aren't the shiny things, it's making sure that our server isn't going to ... look, we know we are going to have a server issue within the first week of Early Access," he admits.

"We do want to make sure that we're ready to respond to that the right way."

MVPapi It's a little bit like the DayZ mod from Arma, and boy is that amazing! I'm addicted to it, going to get this if they can port it to the PS4 properly. It needs the MMORPG aspect of the game otherwise it's completely worthless! Anyone played the PC early access yet? I wanna know if this is on level with the DayZ Mod (not the crappy standalone)

Im for sure getting this on PC, gonna be so good!

Maleovent They're all about making zombie games anymore, but I have YET to find one that allows creativity and not just storyline. Some-what like the GTA franchise in a zombie game would be amazing.

do you reccomend to get this game

This. It's open world like DayZ, hence it has no storyline whatsoever. My buddy was saying about GTA style, I'd prefer the classic MMORPG a bit like Skyrim Online, but I'd die for a Walking Dead Online, that would be insane!
