Radio station music in standalone?

[spofny 3]

Please remove. On second thought, forget please. If you keep the 80s music in I won't buy.

It's going to ruin immersion completely unless the stations are run by players on the server in some physical location with diesel generators that they need to refuel continuously. It's the end of the world, not a small infected cordoned-off area surrounded by electrically powered radio stations.

You do realise that 80's music will never die

[spofny 3]

I'm keeping my hopes up that it will die in the zombie apocalypse.

I'll only play if all of Phil Collins work is represented, if not, I'm out of here.

[DemonGroover 8836]

My worst nightmare being trolled by Phil

[Maca (DayZ) 769]

Sorry Op but do you really want to hurt me.

Do you really want to make me cry. I love the 80's, its making a come back.

Who's Phil Collins, Boy George all the way.

I think it could be pretty cool so long as the stations/topics/music etc somewhat fit with the the theme of (I guess, early 90's post Soviet-State) and zombie apocalypse.

Having a limited amount of air-time based on electrical needs, static, weather etc could really keep the broadcasters immersed instead of somewhat removed from the game. Would broadcasters have to be "in game" at their makeshift station, Green mountain for example or somewhere else? Or would it be a whole different system that the game just sort of taps into?

Interviews, stories, warnings about certain bandits or hordes, and people putting out bounties, Would all be great to hear over the airwaves while running around.

And a satchel charge with a radio on it could be amazing, have some dulcet sounds lure the unsuspecting into a massive trap

I'm excited at the prospect of sneaking up on someone while playing the somber tune of Parabola by Tool over my radio. Chilling...

Why on eath would you like to remove 80s music from anything? Its better than anything by todays artists

So have they said how this will be implemented yet? will the radio stations be from a set choice chosen by the devs or will the player be able to use any internet radio station ingame?

If this is implemented I demand one Kino song be played per hour at minimum.

Yes, in the same presentation that they showed the radios, he also said they are now accepting community submissions for people to host their own stations. Many people seem to have watched his DEMONSTRATION of him playing an 80's tune and overlooked everything else said about it.

I'm not bothered about the fate of the 80's radio station, but only as long as Huey Lewis - Hip to be Square is included elsewhere.

Such a tune.
