Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery AKA how to make a quick buck...

It looks like dog shit and I already sense it's going to be a dissapointing money-wasting flop. DayZ on Limnos map with mods will rock.

There are two outcomes to this:
1. It gets delayed forever and everyone forgets about it
2. It comes out on schedule and is a piece of shit

Hammerpoint is an indie developer. Not only that, they're a NEW indie developer. Unless they are using somebody else's engine they're going to have to write their own. Good luck making an 200km^2 map with millions of objects without running into some problems.

Sincerely, I'd buy any new zombie game that didn't involve the letter 'Z' or 'x of the dead' or 'dead x' or just dead. For fuck's sake, homaging is one thing, but this is just being unoriginal. For the purpose of this statement, Resident Evil and all assorted older (5+ years) horror/zombie games are excluded.

There should be a game called "Dead End", about a development studio making yet another zombie game in an already saturated market.

It's been in development since last year. Might want to scale down the paranoia.

Maybe it was in development since last year. But only since this one it got a dude carrying a ruck and a cap and features copying DayZ.

And much like all clones it will fail hard.

Safe zones? Sounds like you already got a hole in your ship bros and it's leaking.

I carry a ruck and cap quite often. Am I copying DayZ too much?

Heh heh, that's a pretty good idea.

One of the developers posts/brags here quite regularly

Well guys, not to brag too much about it, but here is our new game I've been working on for a while

By the way, when DAY Z came out, we were already in Alpha

*sigh* DayZ is still in alpha...

TWZ allows players to earn experience points and then “spend” those points to learn new skills that will aid in their survival. Additionally, there will be opportunities to acquire in-game cash and gold, which can be used to purchase supplies at one of the few safe-settlements located in the game.

The whole reason DayZ is such an immersive and awesome game is because of Rocket's attitude to its design - barebones survival - the reward of survival is the experience. Rewarding players with flashy points/gold will automatically turn this game shitty and mainstream imo, I reckon by the time twz has lost appeal (if it gains any to start with), DayZ will still be strong and gaining in popularity.

MoreMoneyZ^TM

Lol that's a good one.

Thanks DM

You're welcome, I guess?

[NoRailgunner]

C'mon Rocket just wanted a simple Zombie themed Deathmatch without any story or other "bigger" aims. Just a bit shooting and looting now and then...

[zeplen]

I want to see a game of people completely destroying zombs and then they get over run.

[RangerPL]

Heh heh, that's a pretty good idea.

There will also be a DLC where you get to stand in line at the state unemployment office.
