When I asked Hall whether console manufacturers Sony and Microsoft had approached him about putting DayZ on an upcoming console he replied, "Yeah, we talked to both of them. But, as I'm sure you're aware, Sony lets you self-publish and they don't make you pay for updates. Microsoft requires you to have a publisher. They have no digital distribution strategy and they require you to pay $10,000, or whatever it is, for updates.
DayZ Frostline DLC gets review-bombed for its price and content. Dev responds, saying "No one is forcing players to buy it."
Yes, I saw that! The DayZ Frostline DLC has indeed faced a lot of backlash from players who feel that the $26.99 price tag is too high for what's included. The DLC adds a new snow-covered map called Sakhal, but many players feel it doesn't offer enough new content to justify the cost.
Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel, responded to the criticism by pointing out that the studio has received very little revenue per hour of gameplay from the game over the years. He even referenced the Beatles song "Please Please Me" in his response, highlighting the frustration with the situation.
It's definitely a heated debate.
DayZ has now managed to hit its new all-time-high player numbers with the release of the new Frostline expansion.
DayZ hotfix 1.25 is finally out, but instead of fixing the oft-complained-about duping glitch, the issue still hasn't been addressed.
DO IT!!!!!!!!!!:D
"As long as we don't screw up the release of DayZ Standalone on PC we will definitely release it on PS4"
Pretty much confirmed for the PS4
Excellent news.
Nice move for console gamers! Though I'd still rather play it on PC as I like the community much more. Regardless, this is going to be a fantastic gaming experience for all... except MS gamers. Too bad, I guess they will just have to buy a PS4 instead.
Oh MS....they just keep shooting themselves in the foot...now both feet...which are now two bloody pulpy stumps.
Bohemia Studios is listed in the 3rd Party Devs for PS4. So DayZ or ArmA 3 might be coming to the PS4.
