Day Z devs say they are making a standalone game. War Z comes out and looks like a polished version of DayZ. It would be logical to assume War Z is the standalone Day Z.
How does this look like a polished version of dayZ ?
Did DayZ invent post apocalyptic survival or what ?
All these features seen in the OP have nothing to do with DayZ at all. I heavily doubt Rocket would ever manage to do such drastic changes anyways.
"Boohoo they have character models that also wear caps and have backpacks / rotten zombies / guns they must be copied from dayZ"- Seriously ? I might aswell just compare Battlefield with Call of Duty because they both feature the same weapons / organisations / vehicles. I can already hear the DayZ community complaining about WarZ because it features crossbows.
DayZ is a broken and crappy zombie survival mod which you could rather call "Deathmatch with zombies" as PVP makes up most of the game. It's very overhyped even though it has a poor quality. The ideas of it were good but DayZ is just stuff in what it's trying to be. Oh and the community is a bag of douchebags aswell. One may like it but this is how I feel about DayZ.
For me War Z is what I expected from DayZ - a fun zombie survival game with lots of exploring and what not. The features and ideas are great , the community is decent and the game looks nice.
Ironically War Z will even run on lap tops with integrated graphic cards.
No War Z isn't a DayZ clone. The name was probally chosen so it reminds you of DayZ. Or maybe because both games are based on a book called "World war Z".
