DayZ...(Anybody play this?)
- Thread starter Deezay

I don't think that engine can handle a 225 sq km map. I can't think of any game quite like Arma 2. games like Skyrim or Just Cause 2 are similar, but they deal with more of a 'fantasy' terrain
Don't sleep on that class3 game coming out, the first just gonna be a arcade game about the size of vice city but there then planning on bringing out Class4, which gonna be a huge multi player zombie survival for the 360, no co-op in class 3 when its first released tho but they said they will be adding it.
yeah, i don't think any console game could handle that type of staging but i'd take something much more compact and polished.
part of the appeal is level of realism in the Arma engine. I'm sure a lot of people will try copying the concept, but I'm not sure if it'll work as well. we'll see I guess...
i dont need THAT much realism. i watch these videos where dudes are crawling/walking/running for 20-30 minutes before they even encounter another a town. i don't have that type of time, bruh. give me something twice the size of GTA:SA and i'll be cool

but that's what people like about the game. it provides a level of realism that pretty much no other game offers. it might not be what you like, but for many people this is the game they've always wanted
i disagree. i've read lots of complaints about this. especially since most towns apparently look exactly the same. yeah, i agree arma2 is great because of the scale.
i'm just saying it could be lowered for console users and it'd still be entertaining. they just have to fix the morality system imo. from the videos i've watched, it started out with people working together. now everyone is kill on sight.
just because some people complain about it doesn't negate anything I said. the game's not for everyone. but there's hype, so a lot of people are getting into it only to find it's not the game for them. they're also finding out it's a mod, that's in alpha, and it's far from a complete 'game'
people still play together. you just can't trust strangers. they've been working with a morality system, but I'm not sure where it's going. first they had the bandit skins, but those went away. they have a system where your heart beats loud when you're around a bandit (aka someone like me, I'm up to 8 murders with my current life
), but it only works when you're very close. and there's a lot of grey area as far as what to do if you take the first shot at someone that's already pointing their gun at youwhen I see another player, or hear a gunshot, I almost have a real life heart attack. cause I know at any moment it could be all over for me. the days I've put into finding all my nice stuff, as well as barely surviving a bandit that shot me from behind, will all be lost. and that stress is why I like the game
all that is fine, bruh, that still doesn't change what im saying i'm not suggesting they should port DayZ over to the ps3, so none of this matters. i'm saying that there should be a similarly styled game for the ps3 that doesn't have to be as large. what is there to even debate or argue?
it's all good. I'm just saying some people like the game because of the realism. and I don't know how the knock-offs will work out, but I'm sure it will happen
the thing with the map is in Arma 2 most of the time you have a vehicle, so the map doesn't seem as big. but when you're stuck on foot, it's a different story. they have vehicles in Day Z but they're pretty rare. I found a bicycle a few times. one got stolen from me. I was riding along when I heard gunshots. I got off the bike to investigate. I looked around for awhile, but didn't see anyone. then when I headed back to the bike, I see this dude creepin up on it. I had the perfect shot, and was waiting to shoot this MF the second he got on the bike. he gets on the bike, I take my 'perfect' shot, and he rides away like nothing happened. I shot a few more time but still nothing. fukking lag or something I guess. I was pissed. I shouda just shot his ass right away
