RPS:Hey yo, okay, that’s enough with the zombies now. That is ENOUGH with the zombies. Sure, I like zombies. You like zombies. We all like zombies. But you know what? I see zombies more often than I see most members of my family these days. I think we’ve pretty much had it with the zombies for a little while, popular culture. Let’s have a break from the zombies, hm?
GamesBeat: Zombies will probably never go away, but at least these games are trying something different with them.
Despite the numerous delays, in terms of anticipation, DayZ Standalone is still at the top of my list. And yes, as the article briefly touched upon, the zombies are a bigger threat in DayZ Standalone, however, the game is still best served through player-to-player encounters, which are far more frantic and heart pumping than thwarting z-freaks.
Based on the development updates, DayZ looks to bring more balance to player interaction, which in theory will mediate the mod's current, "shoot on site" philosophy.
Yeah I heard about that, something to do with gear becoming damaged if you kill a player by shooting them.
My question is whats to stop you from executing them after you've held them up and stripped them of their belongings?
Well...I can imagine the holding up part being particularly dangerous because of the threat of zombies as well as the threat of other people coming upon your little exchange.
I really haven't seen any official statement about it but I think the DayZ standalone has been named "Human Element".

Its listed for next gen consoles on IGN also.
How to Survive is definitely interesting, but it makes me want to play Dead Nation and not worry about food and water and all that.
I always felt that the best stories to tackle zombies used the actual creatures as a more secondary threat. As a monster, they feel better suited to be a reflection of the worst of humanity than any credible danger.
Humans ARE always the real monster.
Unless there's actual monsters, then that's far worse.
