Patches for DayZ have been coming in constantly lately, and their frequency will most likely grow, now that the team has received a significant manpower boost.
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 $26.99 price tag is too high for what's included. The DLC adds a new snow-covered map called Sakhal, but many players feel it doesn't offer enough new content to justify the cost.
Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel, responded to the criticism by pointing out that the studio has received very little revenue per hour of gameplay from the game over the years. He even referenced the Beatles song "Please Please Me" in his response, highlighting the frustration with the situation.
It's definitely a heated debate.
DayZ has now managed to hit its new all-time-high player numbers with the release of the new Frostline expansion.
Hire some ppl from SSM
Hopefully some of them are working on a console version
damn how much were they paying dean?
This was the original rumour from last year. I'd be very disappointed if M$ had fronted a bunch of cash for it to now skip the PS4 http://www.escapistmagazine...
Only time will tell, but I honestly don't see MS exclusive DayZ. They would lose a LOT of potential costumers by doing so (more than they would be able to get with the X1) and MS would really have to make a pretty sweet deal, and seeing how DayZ, while nice to have, is in no way a system seller for consoles I don't see MS doing this. What I do see is DayZ already planned for the PS4, and MS helping them along with a port for the X1 as well (most likely timed exclusive since it was already stated that X1 will probably get the game first, but with a PS4 port soon to follow).
I could be wrong, but I will wait for official news before any rash predictions are made.
