If they are going to go console they are going PS4 as rocket has said he wants to look into it. However a game of this complexity won't work even on the next generation.

There might be a console port way down the road. I think it would have to be heavily dumbed down a la Minecraft for console though.

I've got a 360 and am thinking of maybe getting either a PS4 or xbone when they are a bit cheaper and/or will be available in a nice bundle.

 

I was mainly playing on the 360 and rarely on PC the last few years...I kinda enjoyed getting back to the PC gaming as I'm a huge fan of steam actually....but seeing all this post's complaining about cheaters and having come across some more often myself recently I feel like going back to console gaming, because you hardly have to deal with that kind of bullshit there.

 

Would be nice to have DayZ released for the console at some point but there's heaps of other games to play and I prefer to play some random game in a cheater-free environment rather than a game I actually pretty much love but can't enjoy because cheaters are running wild on the servers.

I haven't played for about a couple weeks and just getting back on today, what sort of cheats are going on?

Am I safe to say it's ok to go to elektro?

I am not too familiar with consoles atm - the last one i had was a PS2.

 

Could an Xbox handle a map the size of Chernarus, full of loot, players, zombies etc?

I've had freshspawns teleporting in front of me and 1 hit punch me, people shooting through walls on point (this could be due to wall-glitch though if they haven't fixed that yet), people running through walls and axe me...

 

The first time I lost my fully kitted character in Elektro, when some fresh spawn popped up out of nowhere in front of me and 2 mates, OHKO'ed me, then shot my mates (both fresh spawns) with the M4 he took from me.

I came across that teleport/ speedhack thingy 2 other times near the coast, I was totally fresh spawn with just the starting gear/ equip (flashlight) and got OHKO'ed again by another punching freshspawn.

One time I ran directly into Elektro on a low pop server to maybe get some clothing or weapon (yea, I'm that low), was looting, some dude runs through the wall and axes me.

 

Another time I did get the "your are dead message" while standng in the school building in Elektro and was eating beans, without having a Zed around, not hearing any shot or any melee-combat-sounds,  nor footsteps of any kind...just plain instant black-screen out of nowhere (this could have been "killed by alpha" though).

 

I know, this is not massive ammounts for cheaters, but this all happened within the last few days and a basically every time I started a new life. Further I don't seem to be the only one that comes across cheaters more often recently.

Just add this annoyance to the normal KoS-circle-jerk going on on the servers and I feel like "nope" ...

Of course it can, they can use a 2 disc like COD Ghost and GTA, where 1 disc is to download and the other to play

Xbox can barely handle console games. This game would break that console.

Just to clear things up, NOTHING and I mean absolutely NOTHING you mentioned involves "cheating". Everything you describe was FULLY explained to you before you enter the fucking main menu. If you cannot discern bugs and glitches with CHEATING then stop playing until the finished release.

Why so angry? If you've read my post you'd have noticed that I mentioned that on 2 occasions it could have been a bug/ glitch.

On a side note: people abusing bugs and glitches for their own personal entertainment are just as bad as cheaters and no-clipping through walls into a 2nd floor of a building from outside or teleporting right in front of me over a HUGE distance is what I consider cheating.

You PC Master Race people are really kind of assholes. When I build my first gaming PC this weekend I'm giving my wife explicit instructions on how to use my M9 to shoot me in the face if I somehow start posting white haired PCMR memes on Internets. I love my Xbox One and don't have any problems playing games.

Yeah but COD and GTA are nowhere near as complex and large as Chernarus - especially without loading screens or loading areas as you play. Is there a comparably sized game on Xbox atm?

It will never happen. The engine will prove to be un-portable. Guaranteed.

^ guaranteed.

 

also remember the ps4 and xbox are running slower processors than most pc's. Albeit custom hardware for gaming, much much lower clock speeds than your average i5.

 

that being said I just dont think the consoles will be able to support a direct pc port, maybe a very slim version on a smaller map with 32 max players or something.

It's possible, but don't expect anything until DayZ is at least at 'release' version, which is easily a year or more way.

That's a brilliant observation. I actually think xbox is for adults more than kids since they would probably appreciate the multimedia and non-gaming entertainment features more than kids. Regardless, I know you're trolling. I'm just feeding you because you're obviously starved for human interaction.

Considering the "next gen" consoles are equivalent to last year's mid-range PCs when top-end gaming rigs running the latest CPUs and GPUs barely hold 40fps in cities; I'm thinking that consoles might struggle unless some serious optimisation takes place.

Games like this never translate well to console, sometimes it even puts a halt on all future sequels.

 

Case in point, Fallout.  When the series reached Fallout:Tactics after the original and it's sequel were released (was my entry point to the series back in 2001 and in my opinion the last great Fallout game), Interplay decided to release Brotherhood of Steel on the PS2 and Xbox and was such a steaming pile of shit, it damn near destroyed the franchise and any hope of a future sequel. It took 7 years for anyone to pick up the licence and do something with it because no company would touch it with a barge pole. The result, they turned it into an almost turn based first person shooter/rpg (a re-skinned Oblivion basically), a completely different game to the fondly remembered originals, that only just keeps the story intact so that they could keep the name Fallout and has become a multi-platform cash cow for Bethesda.

 

I fear that if DayZ ever gets released on a console, it will destroy the popular image it has on the PC and history will repeat itself.

 

The day a games console becomes good enough to run a game made famous on PC like DayZ, in a faithful and non "dumbed" down manner then I'll happily lead the console crowd in calling out for it to be ported over.

 

Until then if console gamers want to play a PC game on their overpriced BluRay players, then they should bite the bullet like I did (I've only had a truly gaming worthy PC for about 12 months, after my previous computer literally exploded and I had to sell my 360 to rebuild it) and either buy or get someone they know to build them a computer so they can play it. I decided to and I've never looked back.

 

I personally hope beyond hope that Dean sees sense and opts not to do it, if he decides to release on console and it flops then the reputation of the PC version will get marred by it. Idealistically that wouldn't happen but unfortunately this highly judgemental world we live in is far from ideal.

The only comparably sized game I can think of was MAG early on in the PS3's life. And that was pretty terrible to be fair.

Please no. DAYZ is for PC, lets keep it that way.

The last thing anyone would want is fkn 10yr olds running around in this game.
