  • DayZ Won't Be Finished Until 2016

    The game that always seems to be in a permanent alpha will remain in a non-finished form until at least 2016. This is according to a roadmap released by the game's developer at Bohemia Interactive.

    Bohemia also released information on their pricing plans for the game in the coming months, starting with right now. The game is back down to its original price of $29.99 (USD). It was raised to $34.99 for a time.

    As the alpha phase comes to an end near the "final quarter of 2015," the price will rise to $43.99. Once the game is actually finished and released in 2016, it will be $49.99. Between then and now, Bohemia has a roadmap that includes the addition of new vehicles, zombie AI, diseases, and "basic stealth" for the first quarter of 2015. In Q2, vehicle repair, modifications, player stats, a new user interface, and dynamic events will be added. In Q3 and Q4 of 2015, there will be the addition of traps, barricades, wildlife predators and companions, aerial transport, construction, and Steam Community integration.

      Assuming the developers are on regular wages, that's a long time and a lot of money to put into DayZ, here's hoping we start seeing the fruits of that labor sometime soon.

      hopefully they will do something about the rampant hacking.

      Apparently Dean Hall, aka: "Rocket", the guy that created the DayZ mod and now works at BIS, kind of rage quit Reddit yesterday: https://twitter.com/rocket2guns/stat...50720129941504

      Deleted my Reddit account. Never coming back. You won, internet. You won.
      Mainly because /r/gaming (and well, a lot of the Internet) weren't too thrilled that they raised the price of the game and then put it "on sale" for the original price. Things started to escalate quite a bit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comme...eveals_update/

      Yeah, a lot of people were/are playing it pretty hard and hoping for a lot more. Actually, they are hoping for what was said would be added.

      It seems there is a lot of "shifting" going on with this though and though I didnt care for the game and dont plan to purchase it, it seems to be turning others away from it as well.

    2016 was one hell of a year for all the wrong reasons. Due to the always wonderful Electoral College, The United States elected a white supremacist backed jackass as the president elect for the next four years. Hell, the entire election was an unquestionable train wreck for everyone involved. The Internet turned a tragedy into a terrible meme after a gorilla had to be put down at the Cincinnati Zoo. A young boy was killed by an alligator at Walt Disney World. There has been an increase in hate cri...
