Zombie survival MMO - The War Z: Here's the competition.

There where complains on this video, here's the aswer of the dev team:

1) Ground textures. I assume that video was captured using "medium" quality settings. We require at least 1GB video ram card in order for you to be able to enable higher quality settings for terrain. See video below for "high terrain quality" settings.

2) Zombie are not reacting on flashlight. Yes they don't react to flashlights YET. They CAN see player ( okay this depends on zombie - some can see better than others, but overall their vision is pretty fucked up ), they can see things like flares, but right now they just ignore if you point flashlight to them. As other developers saying "it's Alpha" .

3) High end weapons. Two things - first of all for alpha servers we have much more generous loot spawn rates. Second - those weapons are NOT common. Neither are weapons attachments. I'm playing on new dev server and so far ( after around hour or so of gameplay ) all I got was 9mm handgun with like 3 mags and battle knife.

4) Highlighting of loot items. Okay first of all it's turned on only when you're close to items. Second - we really like this feature. And third - if players will complain alot during CBT, we'll turn them off for hardcore mode.

5) No reloading changing anims - just a glitch I assume - or maybe dude just never finished one mag. Anyway - see video below.

6) Empty interiors. We've just finished populating like 70% of the map with objects. So adding more stuff for interiors of the building coming next. Once again - this is why it called "Alpha" - never heard this complaint from Battlefield# players, or DayZ players.


Here's a small video addressing some of the above:

Some things i noticed:
- strange crawling animation
- not so good weapon switch animation

Also when looking at the original IGN site where the movie originated from, it says release date "30 sept."

 

Another update:

The first official IGN film that shows gameplay and an interview with Titov about features / gameplay / etc:

Except for this scene being rather obviously staged it's not looking too bad; they still have some way to go with zombie AI, animation and sounds though.

I am also somewhat concerned about the in game shop and what they are going to do with it. There is a preview/test video showing food being purchasable with in-game currency and being able to store items across characters :/
Hopefully they listen to feedback though and at the very least only make cosmetic items available with real money.

I will close this thread now since The War Z is not Day Z and the game is about to ship, let's continue our discussion here in General Chat so other MG community players will get to know this new game!
