GAMESCON 2012 VIDEO: DOGS PREVIEWIGN DECIDED TO MAKE THEM PRIVATE, forget YOU IGNAboutW e l c o m e t o C h e r n a u r u s .
A 225 km2 open world post-soviet state and one of the areas hit by a new and presently unknown infection which has wiped out most of the world's population. You are one of the few who have survived and now you must search this new wasteland in order to fight for your life against what is left of the indigenous population, now infected with the disease.
Go Solo, team up with friends or take on the world as you choose your path in this brutal and chilling landscape using whatever means you stumble upon to survive.
This is DayZ. This is your story.[Taken from the DayZ homepage]DayZ is a multiplayer open world survival horror video game mod for the 2009 computer game ARMA II and its 2010 expansion pack, ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead. It has been widely praised in the game media for its innovative design elements, with Kotaku and Eurogamer describing it as possibly one of the best zombie games ever made, PCGamer saying it was one of the most important things to happen to PC Gaming in 2012, and IGN calling it one of the most popular PC Games in the world four months after release. The mod was responsible for putting the three year old Arma 2 into the top seller charts on Steam for over seven weeks, spending much of this time as the top selling game, and is responsible for over 300,000 unit sales within two months of its release. Designer Dean Hall stated in an interview with VG247 that a standalone game will be out in 2012. In its first four months the mod reached one million players on 6 August 2012.
DayZ places the player on a beach in the fictional post-Soviet state of Chernarus, where an unknown virus has turned the general population into zombies and devastated a large military force, likely called in to contain the situation. As a survivor with limited supplies, the player must scavenge the world for supplies such as food, water, weapons and medicine, while killing or avoiding both zombies and other players - in an effort to survive the zombie apocalypse.
The game attempts to portray an authentic scenario, with the environment having many different effects on the player. A player may receive bone fractures from repeated damage to the legs, go into shock from unexpected ambushes, receive infections from both infected zombies or diseased players, or even spontaneously faint due to a low blood pressure. Thirst and hunger must be regularly dealt with by finding sustenance in either cities or in the wilderness, with body temperature playing another key part in the character's survival.
Playing DayZS t e p 1 : S C A V E N G ELoot EVERYTHING. Whenever you find a building you can get in, loot it. Search as much as you can. Find food. Find water. You need to survive in this land. Find weapons, find ammo, find tools and gadgets. Look for barns, look for residential houses, look for supermarkets, deerstands, and military outposts. The more items you have the longer you will be able to live independently and take on the disease that has taken over Chernaurus.
S t e p 2 : S L A YThis land is not friendly. Zombies are everywhere. Killing zombies can be done with any assortment of weapon, and hiding from them is as easy as staying low and staying quiet. But Zombies are not the only thing that have stolen the country away. Bandits (Other players who kill to loot your body or for pleasure) will be all over the land. Finding one can be the difference between life or death - Stay low and stay quiet. If they announce as friendly then they may help you - but trust nobody...
