And there was me expecting to play it first on PS4 as it was made by ....Sony. All I want is a Zombie apocolypse survie 'em up on PS4. Is that too much to fecking ask!!

It's by SOE and the game is on the same engine as Planetside 2 which was also on PC first and has been getting PS4 release delays. With PS2, it's because they can't get the game to run properly on Sony's hardware. I don't think that's the reason for a later release for this game but I'm curious to see if they have the same performance issues later on. They might not try to hit 60fps with H1Z1, though - Any info on that?

The PS2 beta is taking entries now, they've never had a delay as no date has been given. The PS4 had it down as launch window game but no date was ever given, SOE are terrible when it comes to announcing thing. Reddit is going mad about another coming soon announcement with the early access another month off and no sight of release. Not to mention the multiple tiered early access.

Genghiz Cohen · 09-12-2014 1:57pm

Since it's the same engine, I imagine once they get PS2 running on PS4 then H1Z1 won't be long in following.

ktulu123 · 09-12-2014 3:21pm

Yup that's what John Smedley (SOE President) said in the live stream last night.

I'd like to see more role-playing elements in games of this type - in particular, specialising of skill-sets. Give players a reason to spare other's lives, trade with them, form alliances etc. Food and munitions can be taken from a corpse, but you can't kill someone and then take their medical training, tracking skills, vehicle maintenance know-how, building skills etc. Meh, not a complaint of this or any other specific game - just something I'd like to see for the sake of realism.

That would be awesome, just kidnap them and have them either work of give the knowledge under duress

Professional Griefer · 14-01-2015 3:33pm

This is out tomorrow many people getting it?

I seen they've added playerunknowns Battle Royale along with TDM/ctf but you have to use a ticket to play them, by either buying one or finding one or earning one in game

Sephiroth_dude · 14-01-2015 4:05pm

Think I might pick it up too

Noxin · 14-01-2015 4:07pm

I'll be getting it tomorrow too. Will give it a go over the weekend.

Varik · 14-01-2015 4:32pm

The PVE only will please some, hope you can't jump the same character between them to allow people to load up in PvE and then jump into PvP.

Disappointed they didnt so the same as Planetside and include Station cash in packs.

I imagine if you swap to a pvp server then you'll start with a fresh character. It would be very stupid otherwise.

Happens in Dayz with bought servers and either they're always passworded during "maintenance" or mods auto kick anyone joining.

Yeah its a big pain. Whole clans running around geared to the hilt with loot from private servers.

Characters are server locked, so server hopping won't be possible.

Same as Planetside then, I guess when it's a couple of thousand players rather than like in dayz where servers fill easier there's no need.

just reading this

"The game is still in an early development state, and in a direct reference to the game H1Z1 is referencing, Smedley admits that the game you'll play on January 15 will not be better than DayZ."

Wouldnt get to excited so

Not like he can come out and say otherwise, as bad as DayZ can be a new early access game not going to be bug free.

We'll know tomorrow.

Noxin · 15-01-2015 10:09am

It's still an early access. That's all your paying for so tbh, I wouldn't expect much at all today.

Maybe it'll work, but don't hold your breath. Still, will know this evening.

jumbobreakfast · 15-01-2015 2:21pm

I don't feel like paying to be a games tester for a future PS4 version but if it's any good then I'll buy it.

No eu servers on launch? :https://twitter.com/j_smedley/status/555189900299870208

Seamus1964 · 15-01-2015 8:17pm

"This game will unlock in approximately 1 hour" ..any minute now

Noxin · 15-01-2015 8:53pm

possibly delayed another hour

https://twitter.com/H1Z1game

Sephiroth_dude · 15-01-2015 8:54pm

How much will it be?

Noxin · 15-01-2015 8:58pm

Free on release.

For EA:
$19.99 Standard package: Early Access to H1Z1, 3 Event Tickets, 1 Key, 2 Crates.
$39.99 Premium package: Early Access to H1Z1, 25 Event Tickets, 3 Airdrop Tickets, 4 Keys, 6 Crates, Exclusive Aviator Hat Crafting Recipe.

No euro price but I expect it'll be a straight forward dollar to euro sign change to screw us over as usual.

Sephiroth_dude · 15-01-2015 8:59pm

Might get it tomorrow so after I see what other people think.

Kirby · 15-01-2015 9:54pm

The excitable part of me is eager to play this. The grumpy side of me is fed up with paying to be a beta tester for a game that's years from completion.

Decisions, decisions.........

Not sure with steam being in the middle, but if SOE other early access game is anything to go by.

$19.99 (~€17.20) = €16.99

so it ends up cheaper as of now, but with steam getting a cut who knows. The US prices for the most expensive versions of their other EA game Landmark is cheaper in Dollars so it's more about hitting price points.

john the one · 15-01-2015 10:43pm

What time is it going live peeps?

Professional Griefer · 15-01-2015 10:49pm

Apparently at 10, just have to wait and see.

john the one · 15-01-2015 10:55pm

Dayz will be quiet for the next week, get your loot on while you can!

Noxin · 15-01-2015 11:46pm

It's live now.

Gaunty · 15-01-2015 11:49pm

No premium version up yet is causing some people problems but I'm downloading standard version now.

Dcully · 15-01-2015 11:53pm

Ill probably buy this tomorrow,im keen to try out both pve and pvp.

Noxin · 15-01-2015 11:56pm

Premium up now. Love steam for downloads. 4.2gb in 6 min. Lovely. Gonna mess about for an hour now but have work in the morn so that's about all I'll do.

What are these crates and keys the mention for premium?

No idea really. The research I did says you'll get some items but no weapons etc... Just cosmetic items but not 100% sure on it.

Professional Griefer · 16-01-2015 12:03am

Crates are in game air drops, keys might be for the Battle Royale servers. I think..

Varik · 16-01-2015 12:04am

And they went for €=$

Noxin · 16-01-2015 12:15am

Pretty much. Told ya they would. I think the premium was slightly cheaper though.

btw, no one can log in. So don't be in any rush to try it out

In bed, not doing anything for the next 7 hours and it's off to work.

Going to blame Valve for this, considering the other SOE stuff it better converted.

john the one · 16-01-2015 1:14am

Anyone get any game time yet?

Cravez · 16-01-2015 9:15am

Players are confirming the crates/airdrops contain weapons, ammo & military camo gear. Alot of people very upset about it. Rightly so in a way as they said Airdrops/crates would be cosmetic only. Hopefully this is just the loot table messed up on it or something thats being done for the interim/early access and won't be so in full release.

From what I'd heard, those drops are normal and the payed items just initiate extra points which the player might not be the one to get a la crates in call of duty.

That not the case.

Noxin · 16-01-2015 10:13am

Didn't bother hanging around last night myself. Just went to bed.

I'm disappointed to learn that weapons and what not are dropping from crates. They said they're patching the drop rates / radius today or tomorrow but it's not gonna be removed. I've been debating if it's turning me off or not and decided it's not going to. It does however mean that I am now KoS. If I see someone, I'll aim to kill them asap. Not taking a chance on getting chatty with some bum, only to find out he has a shotgun hidden in is back pocket.

Will see if I get a chance to play later and update as to how I find it. Still.... weapons in crates.

==edit==

also apparently they want to use them as a sort of "server event". You can only call in with 1/4 full or more pop server. They attract a **** load of zombies and the plane is loud and obvious when it appears to make people have to fight over them. I can see how it'll add to the chaos..

Dcully · 16-01-2015 10:30am

This guy is looking pretty stupid now.

john the one · 16-01-2015 10:35am

Tried to log on til 5 this morning. No luck. The servers must be getting a thumping.

As far as the loot crates are concerned, I like noxin am now kos. I'm not paying a few euro week to help me gear up when I can hopefully blast little harry away and take his gear that his mommy bought him.

Thanks little harry xxx

Shiminay · 16-01-2015 12:04pm

Meh, not interested in paying to be a beta tester. As this is SOE and it's in the Planetside 2 Engine, there's a far greater likelihood of this at least getting finished, but I'll wait till it's done to play.

Dair76 · 16-01-2015 12:30pm

KOS. Meh, losing interest now...
