It's the zombie apocalypse and survival is the key word. The War Z, an upcoming zombie apocalypse survival horror MMO, by Hammerpoint Interactive. This is rather interesting since the popularity of the Arma 2 mod, Day Z has reached a fever pitch level, here we have a developer announcing a game called War Z with very similar themes. According to the executive developer, Sergei Titov, The War Z has been in development since last fall, before the alpha release of Day Z and is planned for a Fall 2012 release. Day Z for those not in the know is a very popular mod for Arma 2. It places players in a zombie infested island with the sole goal of surviving with the bare minimum. Scavenge, team up and survive... that is the overall theme. The War Z doesn't differ from that and in an IGN interview, the developer says the difference is that Day Z is a mod for a hardcore military simulator while the War Z is a standalone game with the entire world set in a zombie apocalypse...right... not too convincing guys. The War Z will be priced at USD$30 and will have no subscriptions. Going to wait for this before I can say if this will be anywhere as good as the mod.

is it mmo?
ReplyDeleteIt is an mmo. Day Z the mod however is a server based game. No real persistence.
