Here is "MY" Opinion on the DAYZ WARZ Battle...

[SteveZGaming 6]

Hey guys! So there is this war going on that I kinda wanted to give my honest opinion about and that war is DayZ vs. WarZ.

Now I know what your thinking, " Not another one of these threads again, we all know who will win...GTFO Steve!" But honestly that is not the case. So nearly a month after DayZ was released there was an announcement about a little game called The WarZ. I saw the announcement and thought, "OH NO, a DayZ copycat." Really that was not the case. Even though many do not believe the developers about how there game has been in development for years and DayZ just happened to come out so we announced it, I do happen to believe that. I even fear a game like the one I have written coming out before I can gain the tools and talent to make it myself. What really happened was that DayZ came out, which changed everything everyone believed in about this genre of gaming. Not knowing it would succeed they just brushed it off. Then come 4 weeks later it begins to get a bigger and bigger fanbase. Then someone finally had to make the call and had to announce The WarZ. If they would have done it later on it would have been to late to get fans interested in it. Then began the arguing and sides were chosen, but for me I never picked a side.

Sure The WarZ has several of the same types of things DayZ has, but nothing ever said both games cant be successful. But we will have to wait to see what that success could be. I believe in these games and I believe they can both be amazing. Also lets not forget Class4, a game that was announced long ago and went into a blackout over the years. It was going to do the same as DayZ and WarZ plus it would do much more. We can point fingers around all day but lets not forget the big picture...

Why are we gamers? Because when we sit down in our chairs and we put on those headsets and begin to game nothing else in the real world matters anymore. We play games so we can indulge into whole different worlds and immerse ourselves in epic battles and environments. If you are a gamer be proud, be lucky, because honestly when I look at it, even though there are so many gamers out there...There are still many who refused this epic world we live in and so many who cannot handle it or even the ones who don't have the opportunity to experience it. I game to have fun and enjoy myself. The best stories I can tell is the ones where I sat in my chair and enjoyed the games I played. I dream of being in the gaming industry one of these days because I want to provide a service to people and make them happy. I envy Mr. Hall and so many others for going out there and making games, and it is amazing to just see how successful they can become.

I have been around with DayZ since the first month and I have loved every moment. I am just tired of all the haters, all the people that complain about games and how good or bad they will be. The WarZ is already getting bad press and all we have seen is a few screenshots. Yes you guys can hate and you guys can celebrate, but I chose to enjoy. I will be getting both games, each amazing, but isn't every game amazing. Just to think that only 12 years ago games were just beginning to sky rocket, but that wasn't the beginning....The Beginning is NOW! So that is my opinion, maybe not said in the best terms for It is very late, but I hope I can get my opinion out and out of the way. Long live gamers, long live gaming, LONG LIVE PLAY!

Best,

SteveZ

I am not reading that. There are these things called paragraphs...

[SmashT 10907]

Piss off with these threads

[Lennsik 176]

Seriously man.

1.) Press enter at end of complete paragraph.

2.) Press Tab.

3.) ????

4.) Bean Profit.

[Brudagon (DayZ) 64]

WarZ IS the DayZ standalone! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Wall of text crits for over 9000!

Seriously, if you want people to read that, at least help them read it with a bit more clarity.

There are these things called paragraphs that help to make reading large amounts of text much better. See, I have started this sentence out with a 5 space indent, thus informing the reader that I am starting a new paragraph. Hell, you don't even need to add 5 spaces, but FFS, please separate that shit if you want to be taken, even close to, serious.

Sadly, because you're going on about The Warz, you won't be. As the Soup Nazi would say...."NO BEANS FOR YOU!"

as far as I've seen, warz still is dayz copy wannabe.

BOOM! Edited!

WaZAM Edited just for you! Thanks!

personally i think it looks rather intriguing. the graphics look alot nicer than the arma 2 engine, and some of the elements they mention sound interesting, but u cant judge the book by its cover. if they get it out before the Dayz standalone i think it has the potential to grab quite a few players....for a while :P ill be watching to see what people make of it before making any commitments

By the creators of war inc.

That should be enough to tell you this game will flop.

[xarok777@gmail.com 205]

Looking at the "war z" engine on youtube, To be blunt, its fucking garbage... There is a reason that game is free to play, because it is abject trash. Don't believe me? WarZ is running "war inc" engine. Go youtube the latter.

[Abandonedcartoon 45]

Bottom line man Warz was in production BEFORE dayz even released, it also seems like a cleaner, more put together game than dayz. I love dayz to death, and if antyhing I plan on playing both games not one or the other.

LoL no. just... no.

[Herb (DayZ) 121]

i think people need to stop making opinions on a game that hasnt even been seen yet

[sostronk 334]

Thats not entirely true. Whilst I'm not looking to take sides between games, I just want to point this out. Some of the engine code has been taken from the war inc engine to develop an engine for this game. If you take a look at some of the comments the developers have made about how its a combination of War Inc and Battlefield, they have attempted to develop this engine so it fits with the more complex entities that come with a game like this.

Ill probably buy both games and play the one I enjoy the most. WarZ and DayZ, despite being in a unique genre from other games aren't really in direct competition with its each from a profit standpoint. Yet it seems like some players from either need to argue with its other and tell them why one game is better than the other. People have their own minds and can make them up for themselves.

All i heard was 'free to play' cod style engine. Heh. Good luck.

Really, for everyone that is looking forward to playing WarZ, I wish you the best.

I highly advise **against** giving them your money before actually getting to see the game or beta test it or watch some streams. Seriously. But you go on and do what you're gonna do.

I personally think the game is going to be horrible.

I think there is a possibility the game will be horrible, but meh its like $30 and less if you preorder so I don't really care. If I get an hour of entertainment out of it, its already payed for itself.

There have been games with zombies before, there have been MMOs before, there have been at least ideas about MMOs with zombies before. What Rocket brought to the genre is his unique experience, something you can not brainstorm in room with some boring managers and by the numbers game designers. Rocket came up with the idea when he overdosed on acid at the Singaporean Disneyland got seriously injured during army survival training. Even if we were they had been working on WarZ for years, it was going to be a boring run of the mill by the numbers MMO, now they are trying to steal his idea and bolt it onto their fail war inc arcade engine. But they will fail because they are still followers who can only copy external elements, they do not have the spark.

[Jex =TE= (DayZ) 218]

More like the Warz devs meant "War inc has been in dev for years....and now we're claiming dayz was our idea"

The other post about this seems to show evidence to the contrary to their claims. If they have been working on it for 2 years, then they have some video to post to prove this claim. If they can't even show the alpha in works, then they're BS'ing. Evidence is backbone of facts - until they have some they're just shouting off their mouths.

The game looks shit btw and how large is the land?

[ZlobaRUS54 441]

The have now backtracked and say that first map in beta will be slightly smaller than Chernorus.

[dimak415 62]

The WarZ... a shitty developers empty promises and pretty pictures intended solely for the purpose of generating CASH FUCKIN' MONEYZ in presales via riding the DayZ wave.

POINT. BLANK. PERIOD.
