Rocket himself leaked some information...well, almost!
DayZ's latest console update seems tiny, but datamined files reveal what Bohemia is really preparing for 2026. Here's what players missed.
DayZ Frostline DLC gets review-bombed for its price and content. Dev responds, saying "No one is forcing players to buy it."
Yes, I saw that! The DayZ Frostline DLC has indeed faced a lot of backlash from players who feel that the $26.99 price tag is too high for what's included. The DLC adds a new snow-covered map called Sakhal, but many players feel it doesn't offer enough new content to justify the cost.
Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel, responded to the criticism by pointing out that the studio has received very little revenue per hour of gameplay from the game over the years. He even referenced the Beatles song "Please Please Me" in his response, highlighting the frustration with the situation.
It's definitely a heated debate.
DayZ has now managed to hit its new all-time-high player numbers with the release of the new Frostline expansion.
Vaporware!
JUST KIDDING! Yes the alpha is releasing soon. The problem was the Netcode had to be redone! So naturally while the Netcode was being done they added mores stuff to DayZ.
So after the Netcode got finished they had to complete the new work and now lock down the game for ALPHA release YIPPIE!
People need to realize that DayZ was a mod made in 2012 and to have a full fledged stand alone with SO many new features added in about a year once Bohemia Interactive gave Dean Hall Permission is pretty darn good for a small team.
I love DayZ just happily roaming around exploring and then you come across a dead body or a few dead bodies and now the game becomes a detective story as you try to figure out what happened and start cautiously looking around making sure no one else is left from the firefight or a hurd of Zombies is not lurking.
Best DayZ feature added is the ability to give players the Middle finger, Handcuffs, and Hostage taking! It's so AWESOME!
I hope the launch goes smoothly, rocket and his team seem very passionate about their work and they really do deserve to get rewarded for it
I have zero faith in Rocket...lol I think that it's more likely that WarZ is patched to be a good game than it is for Rocket to actually finish DayZ.
Ah, good old DayZ. People are still playing this? If I remember my sophomore year correctly it was this or Minecraft you had to be playing on PC. Everyone was playing either one, putting vids up and getting thousands of views per-day. I unfortunately chose, Minecraft. Lets just say at the end of summer in 2012 I haven't played it since. But, now i'm stuck with my terrible decision. Have it on PC, XBOX, AND iPhone. lol.... I hope this comes to PS4 so I can see what I missed out on.
TL:DR
I hope this comes to PS4, and that it's not an over-hyped snooze-fest like Minecraft.
Sure.
