New Bohemia isn’t saying much more on the illness status, but it’s something that should excite fans of hardcore survival. Wearing a jacket or hoodie in inclement weather helps avoid coming down with something. If you get caught outside on a rainy night in short-sleeved shirt and shorts, your illness status is affected. Certain pants and shirts come with more inventory spaces, allowing you to carry more life-saving supplies. Players also find map pieces around the environment, which must be combined for a more complete view of the world.Ĭlothes play an important role this time around. The new combine option lets you merge these two items so you can safely quench your thirst. Water in DayZ is contaminated, and you must find purifying pills to make it drinkable. Don’t expect to safely shutter yourself in a house though, because zombies can open doors and sprint in after you. jeans in a dresser, canned food on a cupboard). This means players will have more places to look for supplies, which spawn realistically (e.g. New Bohemia says that roughly 90 percent of the buildings will be open for exploration. Unfortunately very few of those buildings are able to be entered.
The landscape of the original DayZ mod has plenty of buildings, whether you’re surrounded by them in the city or stumble upon a farm in the countryside. Being able to discern what you’re looking at is not only neat, but important for survival when you’re low on supplies. You may look far off in the distance and see a large, flat area with several squat buildings with rounded tops, and guess you’re looking at an airport and its hangers. Character models are more detailed, zombies now have aggressive jump animations, and the draw distance is great.
New Bohemia has improved the graphics even further with this standalone title. The original DayZ mod looks good with the visual options cranked all the way up. There’s a slight delay between landing a shot and zombies clicking into their death animation, but this could be improved when the game releases. The AK-47 in the demo is a capable weapon, and lining up a zombie’s head and pulling the trigger feels good. The camera smoothly shifts from a third-person perspective to an iron sights aiming view, which I really like.
New Bohemia has polished up the gunplay to feel much more accessible. Here are five key changes that stood out to me while playing the standalone DayZ game: We got our hands on the updated version of the game to tinker with the improved gameplay and soak in the enhanced graphics. It’s been in a private alpha phase, and is approaching a public alpha in the next few months. Developer New Bohemia is hard at work with DayZ mod creator, Dean Hall, on a standalone version of the hardcore zombie survival game.
