It would be great if you could play the DayZ mod on console aswell as pc. As I love pc gaming and console gaming, it would be great to have a hand held controller to play DayZ with and communicate and play private games with friends via xbox live.

You're preaching to the wrong choir... Besides, I don't think current gen consoles will be able to give everyone the DayZ experience they're going to expect.

However. I saw so reviews about the developer release software for Microsoft's next console (codenamed Durango). It looks like it might at least bring a sliver of hope for something as in depth as DayZ.

I'd buy it.

Are you an idiot?

Xbox 360 and PS3 would never be able to play dayz unless it was converted into a 2D top down shooter.

Seriously

Im even going into the facts why xbox and ps3 suck for gaming over all, here is why it wouldnt work.

Too few buttons
Consoles are too weak
Too imprecise, aim assist will be needed
No mod support for consoles
Bandwidth restrictions
Terrible community

The OP brings me to laugh unintended. You could have used the search function of the forum. We had this discussion yesterday.

Try using search next time before you post.

@Topic:
No, the aiming assistance system would be unfair to pc gamers. So please, Rocket, don't make DayZ a console game! (Well, I#m pretty sure he won't) But you could be lucky if some developers just copy the idea behind DayZ and release a similar game on consoles. The type of gameplay seems to be quite popular. And here in germany we say: Better stolen good than badly self-made.

Console gamers don't deserve games like Day Z.  Rocket already said the game required balls, and no shooter on a console can handle that.*

*Sure there are plenty of amazing games on a console, but lets face it, if we left the world to the xbox live community, the zombies would evolve civilization before we did.

[Timmooboy]

Any way we could get DayZ on iPhone? Wouldn't take anymore than a couple of days to port it I guess?

[Dazed]

consoles suck

You guys are acting like PC gamers would share severs with XBox and other Console gamers. In all likelihood, if it did ever make it to the console, the two would be played on separate hive severs specifically to combat advantage/disadvantage issues.

The way I see it, if Rocket can incorporate console play to DayZ without compromising his overall vision, he's only limiting possibilities for the future by not considering all venues.

Heck, it could be used to hype up the PC version, which could be a much larger expanded game than the console version (kind of how the Sims is, but not like that because EA murdered the series [especially with the console releases, so it really isn't a good example for my case, but rather, the opposite xD])

You guys need to stop with DayZ on console, it's getting annoying.

[Born to be Wild (PL)]

arma engine is too advanced for consoles i think

delete this shit and ban the OP. ty

They for damn sure wouldn't be playing the same game.

"What server do you play on?"

"Xbox live!"

"I'm so happy for you.  I once crawled 2 klicks to a hospital getting 20 zombie kills with a hatchet and broken legs."

"Dude, why didn't you just pop a flare and call for medivac?"

"Because I was playing Day Z.  WTF are you playing?"
