DayZ Devblog 4th February 2013

boy, that topic escalated quickly now :P This is amazing that video. I just can't, can't wait for it anymore!

[Lights Out 141]

I wonder if they plan to make cupboards, fridges, chests etc. etc. open-able/close-able.

[DemonGroover 8836]

Utes as well!! We are spoilt.

Movement looks smoother in buildings and generally changing stance looks nicer too, which is cool. Like the new layout of menus (maybe some text to tell you what server you were on wouldn't go amiss though) and fonts are refreshing change.

There was a good quote in there somewhere as well "GIve us a twirl. NIce."

Really looking forward to beta :)

That was for me a perfect video, they didn't give away anything. They showed some serious improvements, even if some people don't see it. They've left DayZ players and future players wanting another video. What more can they want? :P Mission sucessful :P

Loving the new island too :) Glad they did not show anything of the inventory systems..anticipation man !

I didn't want to see a complete game, or nearly complete game. This is exactly it, I wanted to see the map more than anything just to look and go :o! Wow! Like I did when I saw the swamp, and the detailing on the cans. The SA is gonna be my gave of the year for sure.

Edit: Finally I can try get some sleep, that video will play in my head and keep me up, which I still can't decide is a good or bad thing.

Anyone know how often these video blogs are happening, is it like twice a month or something?

[SmashT 10907]

Clouds look awesome!

I love how the pants just looked like some poor guys corpse has been chopped in half.

I like the loot system, hopefully we see more things like cupboards, drawers, fridges, ovens, bins etc having loot inside and having to open them to search as well as items spawning behind/under objects like we saw. Building interiors look great.

The new swamp areas, Utes etc look great and overall the game looks really nice with the changes, the ocean looks much prettier. I'm hoping adding Utes doesn't increase the focus on the coastline areas, military loot was one of the major draws of heading further inland.

Didn't really like the UI too much personally, it's great that it's simple but it doesn't look very polished at the moment (hopefully it gets improved). I'm really hoping they don't reinvent the server browser and just implement steams browser inside the game. (Similar to TF2/CS etc) I hate when games do that and end up with some clunky mess.

For example:

Matt's jokes are terrible :P

[Meeshe 170]

About 6 minutes in Matt says to Rocket, ...yea we should spawn some clothes in.

I new it, now we have proof. They are HACKER!

:P

I loved the new interiors, looking good guys. Can't wait :D

What's the most important in this update are Rocket's last words in the blog:

We’re all confident it won’t be too long before you’ll be able to join in the development yourself.

We are getting closer and closer to the open beta testing, gentlemen! :rolleyes:

[Very Ape 748]

I soiled myself.

[Avallanche 121]

I'm just amazed.

[DemonGroover 8836]

Oh yeah

[*Exile* Sami 188]

just....amazing

[Maxgor 2314]

Great first video. I love the clothing ideas, how you will utilize them for actual realistic storage based on what they are and that new swamp looks wonderful. Default Chernarus lacks such interesting areas like this, its either forest, city, towns, or plains, so its kinda of boring, but that swamp looks like it could become a great area for creating chokepoints and such.

Also, adding Yutes to Chernarus, that is just super cool. Really expands on the map size. Though please, make boats not be utter garbage lol They are seriously the worst vehicles in the game right now with how slow they are XD Having cool to use boots would make traveling to these places so much better.

The animations feel nicer too. I don't know if its just me, but it looks changing positions from prone to standing is faster and less stiff, which is awesome. Nothing worse than being prone and having to go through the slow animation of getting up to run away lol

[DemonGroover 8836]

I hope there are spawn points on Utes...but then again it could be a place to go later on...

When Rocket, or was it Matt, said they had created more wrecked vehicles and that it affords them the opportunity to put loot in them. My OCD alarm started going off like crazy. I'll never be able to get out of the first city.

Oh is there any loot over there? Hey how about there... oh maybe here...

/sigh :blink:

Great vid guys, this keeps getting better and better.

[RockerJC 43]

Sooooooo Excited...... 8-)

Looting in the street will always be followed by gunshots

Waited 14 hours for this..... TOTALLY WORTH IT! :)

Early on in the mods life, Matt would go into the database and edit the items he had, and give himself good stuff. True story.

[Dreygar (DayZ) 178]

Stumbled on this and didn't realize it was a fresh off the press video. Interesting.

[Trizzo 632]
