DayZ creator Dean Hall talks about the pressure that Microsoft and Sony are both facing.
Icarus has just been announced for PC. The game features a survival meta, and it is being developed by the DayZ Developer,
The recent ARK: Survival Evolved price increase from $30 to $60 attracted the outrage of DayZ creator Dean Hall, who said this was "greed, pure and simple".
I don't see what justifies the price increase other than unchecking the box that says Early Access and clicking on the one that says Version 1.0
I've enjoyed Ark a LOT on PS4 with some friends and I paid 50$ for it, which for me was money well spent! The games get deals all the time on the PS store, so just wait for the right timing and you'll get a great price.
At least, Ark is getting better very fast compared to DayZ
I don't think the price increase is fair for an unfinished game but the creator of one of it's competitors should not comment on it whatsoever, makes him sound jealous and petty...
The game is a POS,technical is a mess and they want the same price of AAA games.I would not pay 10cents for this POS,a real POS game in every sense of the word!
For many people, Dean Hall is synonymous with 2012’s free zombie mod, DayZ, which he created for Bohemia Interactive’s ARMA 2 while serving in the armed forces. The startling popularity of that mod led to it being officially acquired by Bohemia and to Hall himself working at the Czech Republic-based development studio on the standalone version of DayZ for two years, before leaving to found his own company in his native New Zealand.
RocketWerkz has since released Out of Ammo, co-developed abandoned title, Ion, and is now working on numerous other projects, including space-station simulation, Stationeers. Known for his outspoken and candid approach to discussing his work, his history and his experiences in the games industry, Dean Hall is also a keen mountaineer who has climbed Mount Cook and Mount Everest.
Here, he talks about drawing on his life experiences to help inform his design philosophy, his undiminished desire to tinker with other people’s games and how forums and bulletin boards can sometimes offer surprisingly profound revelations.

I'm sure as developers learn better ways to optimize their games and get more familiar with the hardware we will see some games approach that standard..
And so is it for the PS4, they have very few games that is both 180p AND 60fps. If the PS4 could do it so easily they wouldn't be pressuring ubisoft to keep games at 30fps.
..PS4 hasn't ran any demanding games at 1080p and 60f either.
Battlefield 4
Watch dogs
Assassins creed Unity
Shadow of mordor
...?
Even on the exclusive front, driveclub is 30frames, 1886 will be 30frames, second sons and shadow fall is 30f, unlocked 60f and sub1080p in multiplayer. You can't blame XO/multiplatform development here.
The PS4 isn't significantly better than XO spec wise, better nonetheless.
Does it?
