Okay, that's true. Good point, Marquess. Point for you. But you get a point taken away for being a dick. So, back to zero.

(teaser site: https://www.h1z1.com/)

H1Z1 is Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming zombie sandbox MMO. It will feature a persistent world where players can build, craft and survive; this is the likely the game SOE were referring to when saying they had a project planned for all disheartened Star Wars Galaxies players. The question now is, what makes this game different or better than DayZ?

Playable alpha is confirmed to be out in 4-6 weeks time. This times nicely with SOE's new all access plan, which could very well end up being a requirement to getting into the alpha early. If Everquest Landmark is anything to go by, there will probably be packages or pledges that unlock the alpha/beta.


:siren:Devs have released a 5 minute gameplay video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lneZYriSbG4:siren:

It definitely has a Planetside 2 vibe about it, even the death screen is identical to the one you see when you die in PS2. The main selling point so far seems to the engine, which is obviously much less clunky, buggy and heavy as the Arma engine used for DayZ. On the other hand, people are saying that the gameplay looks too fluid to work as a survival game.
