"The War Z" A New Zombie Survival Experience

[SFCLUB]

There are games created with the mindset of wanting it to be popular, then there are games created with mindset that want it to be good.

Sometimes both of these happen. That's when you get a good game.

A couple things I learned that I thought was cool about this game.

It is going to use a server format. That is, you rent out 70-250 server slots from the game. These sever you can change what ever settings you want, make a password or w/e. Your character is tied to that server. This is bad also, as the company has a monopoly on server hosting for their games. You can only rent from them.

There will be hardcore and non hardcore. I know I will only play hardcore.

"players will be able to create their own quests and missions for other players and then post rewards for completing those missions. Once again - we just provide the tools and the players create the experience."

This seems like a good Idea. Let the players create the missions. You wants the player who keeps killing you dead? Post a bounty on his head. You need that super awesome gun mod? Post a mission.

Also with no levels or spells, this won't be a WoW MMORPG. BTW WoW already has zombies!

seems kinda pointless to include non-hardcore. Basically just a way to grasp at the casual market.

How is that pointless?

well, the whole appeal of these types of games is permanent death. Making your character and your actions matter to you. If you know you wont really lose anything from dying it wouldnt hold that same appeal (from my point of view anyway). The fear of death is what makes this type of game exciting and fresh compared to other mmos/zombie games

Most people will play hardcore, but if they add non hardcore also, and it brings more players. How is that a bad thing? It won't effect people who are playing Hardcore.

i just get the feeling more people will opt for safety over realism thats all

Adding a second mode will likely detract from Hardcore, because many people who will now choose softcore would have been okay playing hardcore once they got used to it. It divides the playerbase.

That is true, but with how server are being set up (there will be hundreds of servers to pick from to play on) Dividing a playerbase, that is meant to be divided is not a big deal.

Oh. Maybe so then. I know nothing about the game

Nope, you log in EU12 get a M16 then log out and log in US28 and you will be in the same position with the same items, weapons... etc.

There will be normal servers, mixed servers and only-hardcore servers (for obvious reasons).

Big update! All new photos, inventory, HUD, melee weapons, zombie carnage action...

Isn't it just a theme change from the flop "War Inc"?

All animations will be new, I don't know about textures.

And yes it's a lot better than Day-Z!

Already a thread.

It's just a reskinned version of War Inc, which was filled with bugs and a huge flop.
The team behind it is just trying to ride on the wave that Day-Z is creating.

How do you know it's better than DayZ when they're both still in early alpha?
