"there’s only a couple of people working on the console version" that's really encouraging news, my expectations have just swan dived, same with H1Z1

Is it even possible that two upcoming zombie mmos have shattered any high hopes I had in the space of one day

chrish19904017d ago

It is a bit disheartening, think we'll just have to make do with left 4 dead 3..
Oh, right

XBLSkull4017d ago

This confirmation an Xbox version will be out as well?

WeAreLegion4017d ago

Dude. Go play H1Z1. It's excellent.

psforward4017d ago

Please tell me that wasn't sarcasm. I really want H1Z1 to be good.

KarmaV124017d ago

I agree! I've been playing all day, non stop fun and craziness!

ApolloTheBoss4017d ago

No wonder it's taking so damn long. I've lost faith in this game.

fermcr4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

Early Access? Don't care, nor will I ever bother with it.

I simply don't purchase games that are in Alpha/Beta/Early Access stages.

NuggetsOfGod4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

If u want day z get a pc or do without.

State decay is awsome to! I hope the version comes to pc.

Plus native oculus rift support for dying light!

When it comes to zombie apocalypse pc is in fire lol

I know day z is a mod but h1z1 looks like turd..

Going by some comments it seems some consolereally don't understand what early access Lol

It's not that hard to understand.

Honestly if I was a console gamer I would be more jealous over star citizen(true next gen space).

And u can't buy vehicles after release.

Revolver_X_4017d ago

H1Z1 looks way better then DayZ stand alone, let alone the glitch fest mod. Your bridge is a-callin'.

Galvanise4016d ago

He only mentions 'console' version. Not 'Consoles'. There is no mention of Xbox anywhere.

thehobbyist4016d ago

The project started on PC and PC is the lead platform. And they have a tiny staff. What'd you expect? That they'd drop everything to work on the console version?

I don't want crap like this on console. Keep these so called "early access" on PC.

Releasing/selling unfinished games, and calling them "early access".

Do you know how long Dayz has been in Alpha state?

PlayableGamez4017d ago

It's already on consoles. It's called patching and updates. Assassin Creed Unity? Early Access. Battlefield 4? Early access.

DayZ Developer: Players Don't Understand Early Access

@theFro
You are the living proof of that statement. Early access MEANS the game is broken and incomplete. It's the very definition of it. The early access contract is basically this: "This game is broken. Do you accept to play it anyway to help us test it better?"

Contrary to what most people seem to think, Early Access does not mean that the devs are magically releasing a full game in half the time it would normally take to do so. Do you feel so entitled that you expect to get a perfectly polished game AND get it years early at the same time? If you can't deal with the issues, stay away from all early access games. If you can't control yourself, you are the only one to blame.

DayZ has been in early access for 1 year, and development began 1 year prior to that. A game like DayZ would realistically take 3 years to develop, so come back in early 2016 if you really want to judge it

Fro_xoxo4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

I never said anything about releasing a game on time.. all I'm saying is, don't bother releasing your game if it ain't done.

trust me, I don't need you to tell me to stay away from these type of games like a plague.

Edit:. . I'm guessing, they'll release a BETA version on consoles. . for testing purposes.

Timesplitter144017d ago

there's a very good reason why DayZ is in Early Access and that is because they need to test things out, otherwise they'd end up with disasters like AC:U and problematic server architecture

PurpHerbison4016d ago

I was told come back in 2014 and in 2015, now 2016? Will I be told 2017 in 2016?

MysticStrummer4017d ago

"don't bother releasing your game if it ain't done."

More proof you don't know what early access means.

kingduqc4016d ago

I've paid 30$ for dayz 1 year ago on release day of the alpha, currently at 290h played. I took a break and will comeback in a few months for another few hundreads hours.

I don't have this many hours in the entire uncharted series + the entire infamous series combined...

Breaking Point mod for Arma 3 is pumping out updates like the BP oil spill a few years back. I hope they can make a game based off another engine as the Arma 3 one is lackluster.

DayZ Frostline DLC Gets Review Bombed; Dev Says “No One is Forcing Players to Buy It”

DayZ Frostline DLC gets review-bombed for its price and content. Dev responds, saying "No one is forcing players to buy it."

diana45peters413d ago

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.
