Day Z Stand Alone

[Brocksamson31]

As some of you may know Day Z standalone is set to release "Sometime in early 2013." I just wanted to see if any of you guys are planning on getting it. I know I am. I have never played Day Z before and am gonna hold off on purchasing Arma 2. So, who out there is down to survive the apocalypse?

 

[Angry Child]

I will

I'm with you bro. I'm seriously considering making a short film around the mod.

 

[HeatSurge]

I'm interested, but I want to see what they do with it first...

I'm intrigued but won't pick it up until I see if they've actively fixed the limitations of the Arma Engine to suit this game instead of trying to force a square into a circle shaped hole. The mod is a bunch of incongruous patchwork and is held back severely by the choice of base engine. The idea itself however excites me if done right.

They are delaying the game to build their own engine for it now. Kind of like NS2.
I'm not quite sure why, considering there are loads of various engines more than capable of doing this right.
