Day Z creator 'depressed' by War Z controversy

WarZ is horrible in many ways, the only reason I played it is because of the skill level up, and the Global inventory. I stopped playing WarZ due to too many Hackers. DayZ I am currently giving it out a try.

I've seen a lot of DayZ and while it sounds good, it looks like shit. Arma is a terrible engine and you can see how horrible it is within 1 minute of gameplay, the way zombies warp around and the way they are animated. Though really they both look like crap. When Dead Island is the standard by which to measure if the game flows like shit or not - no offense to DI i love the fuck out of it to this day - they need to think outside the box. Really though you aren't going to have any success making a persistent online MMO-type zombie game. They could learn a few lessons from PlanetSide2 but still........idk.

Yeah but we already know that DayZ is better...

Depressing, indeed....

This guy is being a bit of a drama queen isn't he lol That game doesn't have anything to do with his so why is he so depressed? I understand it might tarnish his product when people get the two confused but seriously dude bring it down a notch. Also I guess reading comprehension isn't taught in school anymore since quite a few morons can't quite seem to comprehend that this guy didn't have anything to do with WAR Z and he's the dev on the ArmA 2 mod (stand alone game soon enough) DAY Z. I haven't played either, I just read the article and I managed to figure that out.

i'll bet 'delusional' was also in his discharge papers if he thinks he should still have a spot in the industry

Why is the DayZ creator depressed by the controversy related to the devs of WarZ?

So which one's actually better DayZ or WarZ?

Agreed The War Z is a giant pile of crap, and Day Z Mod is also a pile of crap. They are both old (dated) crappy. Generic Death Match Shooters that should have PVP kill streaks rewards! The War Z WAS advertised as a MMORPG that's why people are upset!!! There are zero PVE servers; nor any persistent world, nor ANY RPG elements of any kind, or any upgradable (building blocks trading) strongholds with farming or stores, nor any crafting, zero skill tress or levels, and the reputation system is broken!  You just re-spawn with NOTHING to show for all your time spent all gear gone, just go PVP again! Day Z is a Mod made to a shooter, and the other is a direct port from a failed shooter! There is no VoIP.  The game engines imho can?t support a true Zombie (Just Retextured Player Models) survival MMO or any kind of persistent world, and defiantly can?t support a MMORPG with crafting and a player driven economy with Player Stats and persistent gear!  That?s why a lot of people felt let down and depressed, maybe this guy is upset because that?s what his intention was for the Day Z Stand Alone, just a port of old game with mod built in from the ground up ? but still just a PVP shooter!  Just get rid of the Zombies and drop ordnance for PVP kill streaks! I?ll end with a quote from The Walking Dead ? ?We don?t kill the living? <-Think about it when assessing a True MMO Zombie Apocalypse Survival game where people should band together fortify trade with other groups and go scavenging for things they get to keep once found through Hard Dangerous Work!

WarZ depressed the DayZ creator, DayZ depressed the arma fans that enjoyed the game how it was supposed to be enjoyed, brutal circle of life

Awww. Want us to throw you a pity party? That's what you get for treating the consumer like ****!!!! I wish this would happen to Bioware now!!!! They have utterly ruined SWTOR. It's a broken game now. Daily glitches.

by the way the game war z is going, problems in the game and getting kicked off of steam.  its a sign that war z should be put on the way back corner of a shelf and collect dust. I think dayz stand alone might do better off the line. I had to laugh about spookysev comment that warz is on the top 10 at 2. gaming is really a laughing joke for a few moments.

Steam interview say they are working on making the standalone for all consoles :) So xbox Ps3 and PC fanboys can enjoy :) YiP YiP Yippy!

just logged in and WARZ is in the TOP 10 at 2? HA...thats a joke right?

i hate the targeting system in online MMOs. You shoot the target and a lapse between you seeing his head/body get hit and him falling down. It looks fake. They should at least put a animation that would compensate for this delay cause probably by the server responding too slow. You feel more like luck than actual experience. Processing of bullet hits should be done locally on the gamer's PC rather than by the server. It would give a much better response time and les strain on the server. As for the excuse "people will find a way to cheat if we use this technique", it doesn't matter, people will always find a way to cheat. drop the value of killing a target, add less loot and so on, but make the experience flawless. and for GODs sake, make some better textures. Half Life 1 had more detail than most MMO's today.

No one feels sorry for you.

I just drank the last mountain dew...........  i'm so sad 

WTF is this article about? Do you people even try? I know it doesn't take that much to become a (game)journalist but can you please actually PUT some relevant information into an article? Why is this guy upset? Is he having personal issues, does he think War Z ripped him off, is he bitching about the fans? Just what the fuck is going on!?

I'm confused.  What is this guy's problem?  What has him whining that he's going to quit.  What's to get stressed about?

Just say it: "I don't like how these guys are trying to scam people by ripping off our mod and selling a half baked game that looks and sounds like ours to try to trick people."  It's not hard.

I like potatoes.

war z is a giant pile of crap. day z on the other hand... is also a pile of crap.

what a wuss...

I wish this article would go into detail of why Hall was upset about the warz situation. Seems like we're left to fill in the blank.

Well, I will tell you that for one thing, make the game other than Mature and include something more auspicious than JUST ZOMBIES (!!!!) and I would consider it...Oh wait, imagination died ten years ago as far as games, and Arma will be tossed into Inferno before it ever breaks out of it's M-rated Hades...YET ANOTHER SHAME, another game I can't play...*goes back into hibernation after setting timer for next turning point for humanity...*

I don't get it...

?

That's right people, you're giving the army guy high blood pressure, talk about the best of the best eh!

I dont know why hes depressed how many people seen the war z for what it really is and its clear that there is such potential still for dayz.

if he's gonna be depressed about War Z instead of improve and outdo War Z with his own mod Day Z, then MAYBE he should quit game development if he's gonna go emo over an obstacle like that.

Well,

that's depressing.

Why is he getting depressed over the whole War Z thing? Is it the constant attention? He can just choose to ignore it and get on with his own project. Must be something else going behind the scenes.
