The hearing on Microsoft's approval to acquire Activision Blizzard, which began last week in California, has proved to be an extremely valuable source of information on the past and future plans of the industry giants. The latest fruit of this was the confirmation that DayZ 2, a continuation of the hit online survival game, is in production. This information comes from Microsoft's internal correspondence, which has been attached to publicly available evidence. Bohemia Interactive is listed there as one of the studios that Microsoft is looking at in the context of a possible takeover. The studio description states that Bohemia Interactive is currently working on three projects - Arma Reforger, Arma 4 and DayZ 2.
Yeah i dont believe that. They can say “in production” but id put my life savings that they haven’t even started making anything to do with dayz2. Just like Todd said they’ve had elder scrolls on paper for years now. Same bs
Microsoft have not bought Activision the courts are still debating of it will be lawful.
Silica aswell!
I would appreciate DayZ2, but unfortunately I know from former employees what kind of pace they have in Bohemia. I'm in no hurry.. Maybe they're waiting for someone to buy them. A friend even told me that when releasing DayZ they could have switched to a new engine, but they dropped it... too much to do
Wrong wrong.. dayz 2 it's not in production and will probably never be. It's still arma mod what we talking about here.. Dayz it's independent game, "Dayz2" it's not
I think I'm the only guy who wouldn't complain about the constant running... even if the new maps are insanely huge. For me, it's the whole reason I play the game. It adds to the immersion, and really helps the zen experience I play this game for. Nothing makes a large map larger, than slow travel. It also forces the player to explore more... which in DayZ is a good thing, because learning subtle terrain features can be a make-it or break-it for solo players.
Many casual gamers who play comfortable mainstream games complain about this and call it a "hiking/walking simulator" - but excatly that's what's nice about it. The sounds of the forests and fields. I love Nature in DayZ. I don't want polluted barren wastelands for an apocalypse. A Zombie apocalypse is a disaster that only affects us humans because we became too many on the planet. Nature continues to flourish like thousands of years ago.
yes
fast travel makes open worlds in games unnecessary or makes the world feel very small. it's why i tend to avoid vehicles in dayz, if i can just safely pop from town to town gathering everything it sours the experience and makes it boring after a while. cars are basically godmode in vanilla dayz, just drive into a town, honk the horn, run over the zombies, town safe to loot without firing a shot.
@@berzerk1450 - my point EXACTLY. Have you seen the television series "Life After People"? That's the kind of post-apocalyptic experience I want to play... a few years after nature has started taking everything back. No cars. No gas. No electrical grid. Only more hearty remnants of domesticated animals. Wildlife EVERYWHERE.
People always say this game is a walking sim but there really isnt that much walking. And this is coming from someone who has only played close-rangd fps games before dayZ.
I actually like how DayZ is not holding your hand when crafting. It's kinda awesome not to know all the mechanics of the game and discover them with time.
Not just crafting, literally everything. No in game map, no minimap, no numbers on your stats, when you get sick it doesn't tell you what you have or what will cure it. No tutorial to tell you not to eat with bloody hands or bandage with unclean rags. You can look all that stuff up, sure, but in game? Nah, you're on the coast with a plum, a bandage, and a chemlight, and then it just chucks you in the deep end. You figure it out, or you don't. Items you could pick up don't glow.
It's very oldschool in that way and as an older gamer, I'm all about it.
It also provides a filter for the playerbase - A lot of younger and frankly toxic players try it out, starve to death a few times, and rage quit. Good. This is not a game for impatient people or those who don't want a challenge. PvP is maybe 5% of the game, and there's plenty of shooters. You survive in DayZ on knowledge and wits, and that's what the game brings to the table that almost no other game does.
It's no wonder the most popular servers are "Helis Traders Weed 10x Loot Safezones Infinite Stamina $100k start ATMs" blah blah. Because little kids bought the game, still want to say they play DayZ, but they don't actually play DayZ.
Ye
I love the way it makes you think about how to craft things rather than showing you everything. Adds to the survival
Took me like a month to figure out how to make a campfire.
I had to look it up
I can see advanced crafting being a "figure it out" sorta thing, but basics need to be disclosed. We shouldn't have to resort to Google in the middle of a PVE/PVP game. Give us enough to get started & maybe make suggestions for more advanced items.
What makes DayZ one of the best games ever it's the unlimited number of possible sequences, ecounters, threats and friendships you can have while playing it. In over 4000 hours of playing DayZ i made friends across the entire globe and we still communicate, even if we dont play together anymore. As Baby Nades said, it's amazing way of recreating the reality it's exactly what makes DayZ great.
I literally got more members in our back then 6 guys gaming-clan. One of them i wanted to snipe in Novodmitrovsk city place out from a window but missed and he shouted to spare him, then i fixed his broken leg and took him to our campfire in the forest and he stayed and played with us for lots of years until his mother got ill and walking impaired and he had to 24/7 take care about her and does not have time for gaming anymore. He was such an enrichment to our clan, we laughed streams of tears because of his joy and humor.
I grew up in Alaska. I compare playing dayz to the time a brown Bear chased me and my friend. 😂
@@DS-lk3tx Holy sh*t bro, that sounds too dangerous. I’ve been myself in situations like that because of my work but at least I had a fun to defend myself 😅
Theres a new story everytime you boot the game, i dont know many other games that give that experience other than arma and its mods, its one of a kind!
Ya sure dayz is so great cuz it has a VoIP system and people like to role play … compared to the roadmaps we saw YEARS AGO the dayz we have now is a shadow of what it could have been .
We’re missing : soft skills / careers , advanced cooking system , advanced medical system (surgery , long recovery times , specific tools and skills needed) , barricading system (and zombies attacking them) more vehicles including bikes boats aerial vehicles trains horses , dynamic roaming zombie hordes , enabling town electricity to use all amenities (instead of the only stupid PA systems that are available), multiple maps (for free liek the original dayz devs told us they would be , not as paid dlc).
Overall I pity those that never got to see how high dayz was aiming with its ambition and feature list , but overall I’ve come to envy GenZers like yourselves that just found this game being crammed down your throats by all the big media companies trying to get Bohemia out of their hole . Dayz has died , and I’m sad to say that the devs let it happen . No more features unless we buy dayz 2 ? What a ripoff . We haven’t even gotten most of the content dayz 1 was promised .
DayZ is my fav game of all time for 10 years now
Not quite the same amount of years , but I agree, I've tried playing other games but always come back to dayz, what I like about it is the fact you can play it however you want... Full PvP, or full pve.... So many mods for it... Best game ever!!!
@@wafty6435 The exact same case with me and now Ive made my first shelter base and this guy tried taking the 5 sea chests i found hahaha. I got 250 odd hours and only now properly getting into PvP
Mine too it’s so sick
How to fire up fire in fireplace ? Sry im new in dayz
@@Dutchgunner15 hold matches or lighter in hand and hold rt or left click on the fire when told to. You can also make a hand drill. Google tells you how to make eveything in seps
Love this video, please never leave us Nades, youtube needs you, the DayZ community needs you.
I'd be happy if he were on Rumble.
I’d love to see a Dayz 2, but I am skeptical they would mess with a game that is top 20 on steam. Maybe in the next 5 years.
Yeah I think it will maintain its popularity it has now for a while, maybe 3 years or more. But it’s going to depend on what other new games come out more so than what BI will do with standalone. Maybe I’m wrong it’s all speculation haha
@@BabyNades They probably are just going to upgrade the already existing game. Like revamping all the models and maps.
@@zombaldag9337 like what valve is doing with source 2?
@@joaonobrebatata5659 Yeah, just that dayz already uses the Enfusion engine. It's just the models are still carbon copies from Arma 2, so the world even with good lightning looks somewhat scuffed. If they revamp the map and models, it's going to look like Arma Reforger (Which has awesome graphics)
@@zombaldag9337 Like it's said in the video, the game is running on 2 different engines and not solely on Enfusion like you claim. The devs have already said they won't update the game to fully run on Enfusion since that would be too much work and it would set it back to the point where it won't be playable due to all the bugs they'd have to figure out and fix. And they can't even do that with the game in it's current version. Every update & hotfix just breaks something new and old bugs resurface again.
Things dayz 2 isn’t complete without:
1: underwater swimming and fighting underwater
2: more in depth cars (being able to shoot out of them [accurately with pistol in accurate with rifles]
3: in depth hostage taking with knife or pistol (can also work like a Cod execution if you you need)
4: better gunplay (more inaccurate while moving, better sway, Picture in Picture scopes, better shock damage system so they don’t ALWAYS get knocked out and also gunsmithing
5: better and fine tuned movement so you can do action movie stuff but it’s also realistic enough to prevent fights where you just zig zag or circle each other
6. Explosive diarrhea
Why don't the people from Bohemia set up a crowdfunding or a Patreon? I think many of us DayZ fans would want to support the development of DayZ 2!
Great work I would love a Dayz 2 it's hard to believe but dayz is honestly a massive influential juggernaut and paved the way for every game in the survival genre.
Didn't rust come out the same year?
Dayz isn't loved for its textures, or the dated game engine. We love the experiences, the reality, the brutality, the friendships we form.
Exactly. Despite its relatively high sales figures, DayZ is a niche game compared to other popular games. And I hope it will stay that way forever, even for a potential part 2 or 3 or 4.
I had no idea Dayz was doing so well, I remember when Dayz was basically dead, 4-5 years ago the player base was maybe a few hundred people, now look at it. I no longer play Dayz, but it gladdens me to see one of my childhood favorites come back from the dead and new people get to experience what I did.
I play DayZ since ArmA 2 mod (2012) and now I'm playing it with my girlfriend who never knew it. She is so happy to play it with me. And now she has 500 hours herself.
Last week we stepped down the vast underground bunker-system in Livonia (for me also the first time and we both were at the edges of our seats caused by every slight ambient sound we heard and thought we heard another player or military zombies in the pitch black dark only lit by her flashlight and my pistol-light.
I've seen it go from almost gone on xbox to a massive cult classic. It's been wild to see. There was a time official servers closed down.
It’s so good
The emotions, this video gave me.. "Sad" , "Happy" , "Nostalgic" , "Hopeful" , i dont know too many to list them all. But my end emotion was happy and i cant wait to see the future of this game. This is my favorite game. I love DayZ.
From a business point of view: Total conversion DLC for ARMA 4
It will force people to get ARMA 4 to get the DLC. Huge increase in revenue.
But the biggest is consolidation of workforce and effort. Would allow BI to utilize full team on one large project and allow for devs to be moved between projects with ease.
I'm just about to play on the DayZ mod someone made on Arma 4
What a shit way to sell a game to its customers. I wouldn't waste my money on DayZ2 if this was the strategy.
Awesome video man. I’ve been obsessed with dayz since 2019 when it came to Xbox and I’m already dying for a dayz 2. Something modern without the dupers, alt accounts, and exploits that plague the current game
Amen 🤘🏾
Get a pc, the sticks are NOT made to aim with, that's utther BS!
@@tiagomota4734 yea no kidding. If I wasnt a console hardo I would have made the swap by now
@@tiagomota4734joysticks are proven to be better for aiming if you know how to use them.
If they make a part 2 it’s going to do a lot better in this gaming generation if they optimize 60 fps and updated graphics
For sure! When I started playing other games recently I realized how dated DayZ's graphics really are.
I play at 144 fps
Love this video. So glad you back with amazing videos. You’re Dayz content is the best.
Im so glad that Bohemia made it shyte for console players, these idiots should NOT play shooters on sticks! fuck them really !
Great video from you. You got me into this game with your old videos and I consider you a real ambassador of Dayz!
That was such an in depth and just all around well made video!!
For real great job man👍
I’m going to go out on a limb here & say that we will see a DayZ 2 in about 2029 around the 20 year anniversary of DayZ itself.
The idea of a Dayz2 scares me. I love this game and it's changed my life in many ways. I would love it but it would break my heart to see DayZ die off.
Dayz, Is one of the best games ever made. In my opinion of course. If they made a dayz 2, i literally wouldnt stop playing it.
DayZ 2 game map from the beginning where you can mark locations on all platforms and cross platform. That would make so many happy
DayZ has a lot of potential. I’ve played it since 2011 and it still needs improvement. The controls are not easy, and the game should be simpler to play. It could learn from how Minecraft made its inventory and crafting easier to use. The game can be laggy and glitchy, fixing this is more important than adding new maps or items
I think its time for dayz 2 but im sad because of how long it took to come to console. So hopefully with this updated gen itll come over quicker if it is made
I think this time with Dayz 2 they would release it together with PC because of the profit it will make. And also it would be amazing if it was cross play. I played on console before moving to PC and the community would love this. And it be one amazing selling point.
Who else plays console
I play both pc and Xbox versions, using a controller on both, my hands shake, so mouse and keyboard is a challenge 😂
i miss calling it dayz standalone , cause back then we still all played the mod , now its really just dayz . time flies,
If they just remade dayz as an exact copy just refurbished on a newer engine, left the communities ability to mod - they would make millions.
Dayz is one of the few games I can play it to death, get burnt out, drop it for a long time and then pick it back up and repeat the process.
I would like to see a version where you can earn XP or currency during your game life so you can buy equipment and build up loadouts to start with instead of having literally nothing on a respawn. Maybe even have a secure storage for loot that only you can access. Some of us love the game but have a life and we can't just farm loot for days at a time just to lose it all due to some nonsense like bugged out walls, wild animals with zero warning or most egregiously: Hackers. Which WILL be an issue in the game at times. Just a matter of when. Of course I also advocate to have the standard formula servers and call it Classic or Hardcore mode.
Whoa, I wasnt expecting that much info and knowledge of the game history in one place. You said it all man great video. For me you have spoke everything in that last line on your video, I hope one day we see this game true potential. Thank you for your work
I doubt we’ll see a dayz 2 stand-alone honestly. It took years for them just to get it in the half decent shape that it’s in now but I’m sure with Arma 4 we’ll get a bunch of really badass dayz(esque) mods that’ll surpass standalone
"Its nearly 10 years old, itll did out soon"
Skyrim and elder scrolls players in general: "want to test that theory?"
DayZ 2 would be the biggest slap in the face considering the first game isn't finished.
I know that I’m being too delusional or optimistic, but imagine a DayZ game with The Last Of Us quality, I’m really hoping that Factions 2 will fulfil my wish…
Yes! A solid functioning sequel with lots of updates and improvements would be awesome!
Agreed. I found out about Dayz through a friends on ps4. When I built my new pc it was one of the first games I bought. I love it. Would love to see a Dayz 2
I agree with you. There needs to be a DayZ 2 with everything you mentioned. I may have missed it, but I think they should also expand on base building and possibly being able to do renovations such as painting, creating a road/driveway, repair boats to go out and catch bigger fish, more types of vehicles, skill tree. One thing I would like to be able to do on consol is customize the billboard signs and put solar panels on the roof of a house to power all electrical items. Bulldozers to knock down a house that may be blocking your view of the beach sunset. A way for people to start businesses in a town they built up. All in all, that detailed level of living in an open world.
DayZ 2 would have the potential to be up in the number with GTA 6 when it drops.
Very well made video. Well done! And I hope you've raised enough awareness and interest in this that Bohemia can't ignore a sequel. DayZ is hands down my favourite game ever. If I could only play one game for the rest of my life, it would be DayZ for the simple reason of how limitless the gameplay possibilities are with the right groups of people. The only issues like you have mentioned are the aging engine and limited game systems holding back any continued development or modding capabilities.
Dayz when it was ARMA2 was magic. I will never forget those shenanigans.
oooh cheeky mention at 04:12 sick video man.
Baby Nades: "No game can retain its popularity"
Minecraft: Hold my beer for me champ.
It makes sense, I mean, The enfusion engine is still maturing. Once the tech/engine is mature I would bet real money that Dayz 2 will be on the cards.
tbh my dream would be a polished expanded version of DayZ 0.62, the legacy gameplay was way better imo and was just overall a more enjoyable game, the new version is just to arcady.
i hate the gunfights in new dayz i just want that old slow scary gameplay, back when getting shot at made you shit yourself
ive been playing the game on some community made 0.62 legacy servers and its not just nostalgia talking, i really do enjoy the older version much more.
Awkward inventory, have you ever had to pack a camping bag? Pain in the arse
How to make a DayZ Asia :
Add anime and make it 3rd person only
Tons of P2W assets
I think the devs could add the ability to shoot out of cars RIGHT NOW if they wanted to, however they choose not to, as they've said they don't want to the game to be "like GTA." I think it's a change the community really needs to get behind, as it would make cars infinitely more fun and useful.
I've been saying this for years. Bohemia is/was using DayZ specifically to test and develop their next generation of games Arma4 and DayZ2. DayZ died once. It was completely dead and seemingly beyond revival. Bohemia took a years old game back into the workshop, built a brand new engine, and opened it to mod support. Instant revival. Though that was a gamble that gaming companies don't generally take. Why would they risk it? Well if they were using DayZ and it's playerbase to test future features and engines it would make sense. The new gunplay in DayZ is immaculate. Far better than the majority of titles out there, and exactly how I want an Arma4 or similar title to feel. However, they stated from early on that vehicles would never be completely fixed in this engine. So from very early on this new engine was already obsolete. They knew it would be though. It was meant to test features, gauge interest, and collect information on what the current bohemia players want in a game. It wasn't much longer after that and they released Reforger. Which oddly enough uses the same general terrain/location scheme as DayZ. I mean it looks like Chernarus. These DayZ clone mods are nice, but they will not withstand the official DayZ2 on the Reforger engine when it drops.
I just wait for regular bows again, so I can start up my survivalist playstyle :D
I'm proud to say I supported DayZ since 2013 and have bought it multiple times for my friends. I'm happy for the team and Dean Hall seen as much success as they have.
I have a theory that DayZ 2 will start out as a mod for Arma 4 and, as per usual, will be driven by the effort, time and money spent by modders and fans of the game... while Bohemia sits back and gauges the interest and waits until making a standalone version is a "sure thing" (and after they've got that initial Arma 4 sales) and they'll essentially convert Reforger over to become DayZ 2.
Feels like it makes sense, cost-efficient and safe for Bohemia. Just a theory, though.
Great breakdown, Dayz2 makes sense in my opinion from a financial standpoint. When you did a monetary comparison with Arc and Rust - it would also be interesting to see how much money Arma3 made... I cant imagine its much more than DayzSA.
Excellent video! Very well said. DayZ could be so much more, and it deserves to be.
I think Arma 2 sat around for a year or two in my game shelf before I really started playing it. Back in the day it was really hard to learn a game that had so many controls as there was nothing else like it. Once I learned the controls though I started having real fun playing and manually scripting sequences like loading and unloading helicopters. Anyway it has a huge learning curve but thats what makes it the best game as well because once you learn it there is so much to do!
"DayZ 2" implies that there is something connecting the two games, it's more likely that a reboot will happen with some cliché title like "DayZ Resurrected" or something like that.
I don't know if it's just me but I wouldn't like unrealistic superzombies or superzombie animals in DayZ 2.
I would just love to have new, bigger/denser maps with some verticality, an expanded weapons/gear/clothing/food/craftables selection and modern graphics/physics.
I'd keep everything else the same because that is what made DayZ such an incredible game!

Thank you for making this amazingly detailed video, we appreciate your content!
Yes awesome video
I feel they want to perfect the (Enfusion Engine) before doing a DayZ 2
As to me it feels they wanted to learn how to use the new engine and they chose Arma as their test project due to the series long running popularity, AND the fact that its the first Arma game introduced to Console, meaning they want to better/perfect the game mechanics for Console players to be as good as PC.
Arma Reforger/Arma 4 is just the beginning of what I feel, is there "Console Project".
Makes sense since its called Arma "Reforger", as if to reforge the series to accommodate the new engine but maybe im reading to much into it😂
I hope that, in DayZ 2, *all* doors will be able to be opened. Got sick of going into a house to find 3 out of 4 doors bolted with no way to open them.
agreed but the more area you can hide the less likely of encounters with other players. I wish loot would spawn in appropriate places like closets, drawers , being able to go in basements etc
The core of the issue is that the devs dropped the ball with development. They already have done an engine overhaul and what they gave us was a subpar product and they still haven’t restored 100% of the original content that we had. Devs also think adding a few accessories for their dress up simulator counts as a major update. The game is a decade old and they don’t even have working vehicles. They haven’t delivered on majority of the promises made 10 years ago.
Dayz is the reason I built my first pc in 2014
same as me xD
DayZ 2? They haven't even fucking finished DayZ... Hell they've never even finished a single game...
soldier occupying military bases & military patrols is whats missing in dayz
Wow.. a DayZ master is finally playing again..... Welcome Back !!
DayZ 2 should just be a platform built for streamlined modding. Let us create the games we want using the engine and let us make money in a partnership.
If they were in for the money they would stop slacking around and make a god damn modern DayZ. It´s literally a money printing machine.
If you're talking about Namalsk by the employee making the map, pretty sure he made the map before he worked there.
I used to pvp at balota after pilling up cars to block the roads in the mod with my firends, now kids eat cans of beans in the woods on a 12 hour gameplay session and never see a single person..........Its crazy you guys spent 10 years to build the FURTHEST thing you could from the most popular mod ever.
With Tom Segura on the title card, thought this was some DayZ standup.
The best game they ever made was “Operation Flashpoit”. The soundtrack still gives me goosebumps.
I'm really impressed with the amount of research you put into this. Also one thing they MUST maintain with a newer version of DayZ is the level of grit and avoid streamlining. The game flourishes with it's multiple trivial obstacles melding together to create an over-arching challenge, unique to each player. That's what makes the game so special. Everyone has a different goal, short term or long term.
as a DayZ player for the last 7 years, on PC and Console(s). i can safely say, that as bad as the inventory system is on consoles it’s overall gameplay is incredible. graphically it’s pretty good, even on Series X graphics aren’t as good on optimized games as they are on PC. but, its frame rate is a solid 60 consistently unless there’s some crazy additions to the map. Xbox One does have lag spikes, frequently and it can be frustrating but if you look passed that it’s a great experience. i think a big problem with it is that most people don’t have the time to play games like this. i’m honestly surprised Rust sells so well considering keeping a base on there is a full time job. but these games take dozens of hours to learn, and then it takes hours to even find gear on official servers. community is becoming increasingly popular on consoles because while there’s no mods to download they do edit server files to make spawning with your friends easier, finding loot much faster, and making cars spawn much more frequently. PC will always be the goated system, it may cost an arm and a leg to get something that will handle everything you throw at it but that computer will last you 3x longer than a console will. it offers better frames, graphics, modding capabilities, and much more. but dayz on console overall is actually a great game, i hope it keeps up its player count. this game holds a special place in my heart and it will be a sad day when its put to rest.
sorry for the paragraph, and good luck out there.
you are perfectly right, WE NEED DAYZ 2!!!
love Dayz, met some funny ppl thru it I do hope they make a Dayz 2 using VOIP is necessary.
Absolutely! I've made a few friends in the last 10 years who also play other games with us on our Teamspeak. But that's only possible because DayZ is a bit more tedious and time consuming and you are forced to slow down, then you can chat while sitting around the campfire and wait until the night is over. Not like in other games where you rush from one situation to the next.
I'll never stop playing this game, ever.
From the what I see dayz will go on forever if not a significant way into the future because I and I think a lot of other people out there really love dayz
DayZ 2 with the old Alpha Map would be amazing !
Ai survivors/bandits is a must for a new dayz they made dayzmod so fun
I think adding AI characters to the vanilla game is a BAD IDEA. While modded servers can certainly play around with using NPC's, I personally feel that it takes away from the beauty of real player interactions, which are what make DayZ such a unique game. Of all of the changes suggested in this video, most of which I agree with, I think this is the worst.
me as a dayz console player have to say dayz 2 as a direct sequel would be best with mods directly implemented like in arma. the graphics and buggy ness is my biggest problem with dayz right now and i see forward into the future of the dayz francise
Day z is my favorite game out there and to have a sequel would have me spending money every chance I got. WE NEED DAY Z 2!!!
Hope you come back some day! Miss having new dayz vids by you. Hard to find aanyone else to watch. Most ppl are so hard to listen to.
They would be fools to try to make the game PVE. Random unexpected encounters with other players and Pvp is what made this game
Great video.
(The Video mentions) "What everyone want to see - DayZ to reach it's full potential" sounds great.
I just hope it will still be the DayZ with the real DayZ Feeling. A few thoughts form my view:
Video mentions "Will have a huge Map" I think that's a bad thing - allready on Chernarus you can run for 5 hours on a full server without to see any other players. Then you spawn with a Friend and he is 50km away from you? Do we need bigger maps? I think we need better maps. And more then one or two maps. Some days you seek fast PVP, and on others you go for a huge Adventure. To support all aspects on one single map is impossible, becaus it always has just one size. - Esseker and Banov wil never bring the same way of playing DayZ. - We have those improved, further developed maps already, that bring enormous variety to the different Gameplay. (Even Chernarus is for ever the original and very beautifull) The best modded maps are amazing, very popular and not bigger as Chernarus. If you make huge maps where the servers must be full with arround 200 players, then half full servers will suffer much more in proportion as if smaller ones were only half full. In Esseker or Namalsk you run into guys even when the server is half empty. I think so many people play Namalsk because the main land is very small and forces tonnes of that uniqe loved DayZ-interractions. Also the harder Enviroment support the real Survival Experience arround the PVP or the Exploring. And of course also that you have something more to do then just reach Tisy to get the best loot or find a Keycard for a Bunker. A longer Mission as on Deerisle, Namalsk, Iztek and others. - As Namalsk is from Sumrak, I'm sure a DayZ 2 Map will become anyway great.
But if it is just huge, interractions get rarer and aren't the random interractions one of the special things in DayZ? Not always KOS - people speak to each other and team up with randoms for several hours on an Adventure, or to take a hostage instead just murdering without a word. If you have everywhere more and more cars or even Airplanes, much less interractions will result. Rust is a game with non stop Base-PVP-Base, this all the time running back to the Base. To many Cars do a bit the same, less hard slow adventure and exedently walk into someone and talk. I f a Car runs into you gunshots are for sure the answer - A good mix in a map is very important, not just the size. - There's no need to mention how many incredible mods and maps the community invents and produces. These extremely creative and hard-working people should be even better included and supported to make it easier to build their mods.
In video mentioned "All that walking..." isn't that what makes it unique. The slow but intense survival. Would you find in an Appocolypse a Fighter jet and fly over the map or rather build a large Stick into an arrow bow? What gives more Survivalfeeling and better interrractions and fights. DayZ 2 shouldn't become a totally different game because they already exist since the meantime - More crafting possibilities would probably help not getting slowely bored that you do nothing else then open million time doors to see if there is Loot on the ground. To craft a bit more Survival-Basic-Items then just combine Rags for Ropes or stones for stoneknife would suport the survival feeling "I do creat something to survive". Just open doors, picking up loot and find canned food everywhere take the apocalyptic survival feeling a bit down. - I wish they would ad Bows. From my point of view, almost nothing is more fulfilling in Survival and direct PVP than calculating the eternally slow flight time and the enormous drop with an arrow bow and aiming 20m in front of a running player or an Animal and then hitting him/it perfectly after a few seconds of flight time. There are incredible bow mechanics.
I'm sure there are tonnes of smart experienced people and I hope Bohemia work with them together to make DayZ 2 the best it can become.
And I hope DayZ 2 will still be DayZ.
Big thanks to Bohemia for that great Game, big thanks to the whole Community for being such a helpfull comunity, all the effort from the Server owners, the endless amazing entertainment and game advertising from all streamers and huge applause to all the modders that spend so much of their freetime for free to make the game lots more variety.
You all rock!
We all fucking love day z, and need many mores
@BabyNades Real Virtuality goes back WAY further than ARMA2 or ARMA 1 even. It goes back to the start - Operation Flashpoint and maybe even Gravon may have some of it's hooks in RV.
If Arma 4 is the priority, DayZ 2's release *should* be held off on. If they rushed a new form of DayZ, they'd never hear the end of it. We, as the community, are *rough* on them. So if we get a half cooked upgrade then Arma 4 drops with even more amazing capabilities the community would be raking the Devs across coals for the Day Z 3 right away.
There are few games that work well enough to last a decade or more. A new successor to Day Z is long past due but it needs to be truly refined. Scum is the closest thing to it but still has kinks that need to be worked on.
great video!
I’ve been playing Day Z for a year now and love it. Great game. Still never drove a car
Back when DayZ was just a mod you actually had a shot at getting your own car..
The one game i keep going back to for years now
DayZ.2 should just do what ARK:Survival did.
They managed to make a complete remake of the base game in just like 2 years, from Unreal4 to Unreal5 engine.
Then hand-craft any further dlc maps the following year.
I think we could see dayz2 before arma4. Making a simple base game that has extensive modding support is all that is needed.
The best thing about DayZ is seeing it grow over the years. It could of easily slipped into a cash grab but the devs listen to their players and refined it into a classic.
Never forget, that they SOLD this game, as a platform to DEVELOP the Enfusion engine and they PROMISED that DayZ would eventually be completely on the Enfusion engine.
Arma 2 dayz mod was the best ! The actually dayz standalone is a fail honestly, try playing SCUM, is light years ahead of anything Dayz will even dream of achieveing.
i dont know if im the only one but i like how dayz looks, i think its much better the reforger dayz its more dark and imersive on the other hand the reforger is more alive
AlwaysStreams is fr the best dayz content creator I’ve ever watched imo
They'd be completely fucking stupid not to do a DayZ 2. DayZ has one of the most faithful communities out there. I mean, we're still playing what's essentially the same game we played in 2013. And it's still rank 35 of the most played steam games with 70k players at peak times. And we even stuck with it when the standalone was a complete catastrophe bordering fraud in the beginning. All they need to do is the same game on a better engine. Fix the vehicle problems, add an AI for building PvE missions, build in a better base building systems (mods like BBP show how it's done), maybe add some new and different crafting recipes for good measure. They'd instantly have the entire DayZ community and then some buy it. If they don't fuck it up, it's an absolutely certain hit.
I still play A2OA DayZ, cause i love it much more than the SA.
I think the different is the Military Simulation, what makes more fun.
The AI Missions make a different too.
