paradox. 12 Posted July 30, 2012 This would make it world wide and more people would buy it if it was made for xbox... dont get me wrong i love pc gaming but i would love to see such a great game like dayZ on the console as an arcade game or what not.look at minecraft xbox 360 edition and how huge it has become on xbox, its almost over taken CoD downloads etc and its played world wide because of pc influences.... dayz should definatley come on xbox because it would spread the name of dayz so far!No wouldn't work....

kirbsee 2 Posted July 30, 2012 Let a dead thread die. We all know it won't be coming to Xbox anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jello Jaw 11 Posted July 30, 2012 May sound like a good idea, but it would in no way be like it will be when it is completed on PC. My opinion, no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HardCoreNinja7 24 Posted July 30, 2012 I would hate it on the Xbox. Just keep it on PC. :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Regulator* Jackeroo 14 Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) There would nowhere near enough keys or computing power for the game and engine. Besides, Rocket hasn't evenfinished alpha for the mod yet, I don't know why you're even thinking about having it for Xbox 360 now.

Glimmermang 25 Posted July 30, 2012 Would it be nice to have it on multiple platforms, sure.Suppose Xbox or PlayStation can handle the engine. Still, there are too many commands that require a keyboard. A controller wouldn't cut it....unless microsoft or sony wake the hell up and start implementing usb keyboards/mouse to the consoles.Also, having a game on a PC is more profitable. Gaming companies lose profit on console games because they have to pay more middlemen.Having this game strictly to PC stimulates the PC gaming market.

Tsyn 215 Posted July 30, 2012 Once it becomes a standalone game, I think it would be wonderful to be on a console. Would probably be able to run much smoother and have a few more neat apps and whotnot.Obviously though, PC fanbois gonna hate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pro Z kills 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Xbox would explode while trying to run the arma engine.And Xbox updates cost to the developers many thousands dollars each to be provided by xbox live service.And Xbox is for arcade games, like all consoles. I own a xbox360 too, but is always turned off, i use it just to talk with my friends that keep playing that cod zombie shit. They may cost a lot, but trust me they will make the money back and then some, thats WHY companies release xbox games, e.g minecraft, because they will get their money back and more.

Pro Z kills 0 Posted July 31, 2012 I'm surprised everyone makes a big deal out of a amateur poster who may also be a troll at this.Mods don't become 360 games, especially if it still relies on more than 0% of the current game assets, it's like asking Bohemia to sue you for trying to sell their game engine (because you are, in a way still using their core code and stuff). yeah but they can make arma for xbox then relase day z as an add on -.- want some choclate ear-rings with that?

capitainedesolation@yahoo.fr 119 Posted July 31, 2012 Why would someone port a wonderful game to a console that is ruining video games? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrvik 2409 Posted July 31, 2012 I totally agree that it is a bit early to consider a console version of DayZ but I must say that all the PC Elitism in this thread is so fucking adorable. Please have fun on your high horses while I play every good game on every good platform out there. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ED-E 4 Posted July 31, 2012 I own an Xbox, and the thought of playing DayZ on it makes me vomit in my mouth. Just a little bit, but still. Vomit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xTLRxPrototype (DayZ) 15 Posted July 31, 2012 Why so Microsoft can claim distribution rights and then PC players won't be able to play the game for 2 months or more? You guys need to get the hell out of here with this shit. And people need to stop responding to anything Xbox related on these forums. Just trolls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatfieldcw 184 Posted August 1, 2012 DayZ as it is couldn't be ported effectively to the console, the interface and controls are too complex to map well to a controller, and since a large part of the gameplay is stuff like changing your stance, varying your rate of movement, zeroing your scope and looking around, it would be virtually impossible to preserve even the basics without compromising the shooting controls.Plus, I doubt the console market will respond to such a game the same way the PC market did. There are plenty of people who try DayZ and hate it. Just like Dwarf Fortress or EvE Online, DayZ chases away a lot of people, many of whom are non-casual gamers. The slow pace, the steep learning curve, the brutal consequences for failure and the risk of being totally smoked for no reason and not even know how it happened all add up to an unpleasant experience for many. They want the reliable return on their investment, and DayZ doesn't provide it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
