and LOL at it being a fad. money talks, and the sales that DayZ has gotten for Arma 2 make a lot of noise. people have been into zombies before the walking dead hit the tv. there's a reason this genre has always done fairly well in all types of media.
DayZ would have done well with or without the zombies imo, they could have put anything in there and the game would still be great. I sense a trend with people craving a more challanging game and DayZ hit the mark.
Hmm all I can say is: Inb4 the game is found out to be just another generic themepark/wow-clone. Devs haven't made a decent mmo in like 6-8 years. I am kinda looking forward to The Repopulation thou, if they manage to put in all that they promise at launch it'll be the first decent mmo in 6-8 years.

B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
well there offical site is pretty bloody useless. its a splash page for beta signup no info on the game.. for all i know its a 2.5d game where everyone is a female in a sailor suit and they make moaning sounds when they attack stuff..
would have liked to see some screens or more info then what is at that link...
still there are alot of undead games running around now o-o.. tons of virus/zombie flash games coming out.. this warZ game.. dayz as well as others o-O while that is great.. hopefully this will be a quality game and not a mcdonalds happymeal.... >>"

Getting a little tired of Zombies. I just don't get it. Fad.
Yeah, games like this will have huge turnover. Anyone investing in a zombie game has a screw loose.
i think the concept is more appealing to people than the zombies. like someone else in this thread posted it could be anything. it could be deadly boars for all i care. the idea behind it is what matters.

And queue the hipster Sandbox crowd with their tired and overused one-liners.
Heres a slogan for you. The Repopulation, ArchAge and every other sandbox is a WoW clone as well.
Now with that being said, I hope the zombies are slow and the basis of this game ha greater emphasis on combat and less on survival. Yea I know its fun stealthing around trying to avoid zombies but whats the fun in doing that without a chance of fightning back.
Playing: GW2 Waiting on: TESO Next Flop: Planetside 2 Best MMO of all time: Asheron's Call - The first company to recreate AC will be the next greatest MMO.
The reason I scream DayZ clone is simple. This game and the other one on kickstarter just show us some basic artwork or a web page, they list some features that mostly already exist in DayZ or are something we would all like to see in DayZ along with some extra generic MMO features.
The difference is right now I can play DayZ, there is no current gameplay for any of these other games, they are years away from being completed unless they are being totally half assed, in which case they will probably be terrible games.
I'm still waiting for a truly great persistent zombie apocalypse survival mmo type game... DayZ is not bad but it's a farcry from what I'm waiting for.
Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

What you may be waiting for is Class 3 and Class 4 from UndeadLabs. I do believe that they will both come out for the Xbox and PC.
I wonder if they can stand up against undead labs class 4?
I am doubtful considering C4 have Strain as lead designer (The guy behind D1, WC3 & GW 1 & 2) while I never heard of Aktos but it will be interesting to see how similar (and good) the games will be.

Possibly - I'd have to look into it a little more.
Why can't Day Z just get funding...his ideas are solid and he is not willing to break on any of the core elements he already has in place...this will be very casual friendly I am sure

What do you mean get funding? He is currently working every day on making it in to a stand alone game, the current mod being played is basically just a big pool of testers waiting to try everything out, hence why certain things completely break the game and are put in and out at a moments notice.

I have got to agree with you there, I think the whole zombie thing will fizzle out soon and go the way of guitar hero.
I don't know what it is, but I can never kill too many zombies.

WoHoo... I'm a littel excited... can never have enough Zombies... !!!! awesome!

Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!

Bah, they are both ripping off Max Brooks novel from 2006, World War Z "An Oral History of the Zombie War".

Does no one know about the game "The Dead Linger"? Its another zombie mmo...
Yeah same here. Just read all the comics and am playign the game.
I didn't play all the recent zombie games, last one was L4D2, so I'm up for more zombie stuff!
btw, just a note
The Z in dayZ and warZ is also a play on words.
They use Z because its the end of the alphabet
DayZ means it is a end of days for humanity
WarZ means the final war for humanity

Sounds very interesting. I'll be looking forward to hearing more about it as it develops.

Game's not looking too bad so far...
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
Well this game is definitely looking promising. I'm looking forward to a stand alone zombie MMO.
Why can't Day Z just get funding...his ideas are solid and he is not willing to break on any of the core elements he already has in place...this will be very casual friendly I am sure
I just hope it looks good and combat isn't slow paced.
