DayZ Fans Sent Us Questions For The Game’s Creator. We Asked Them All.

DayZ. It’s a wonderfully complicated, extremely hardcore game. Soon the online zombie survival sensation, which started as a mod, is getting a standalone version. Many questions remain about how the standalone game will work, and how it will differ from the original. Today at E3, I had a chance to ask a lot of those questions.


This Live Reading Of DayZ Chat Is Hilarious And… Poignant

A live reading of an actual DayZ chat window from a single session. Serious business. Poignant. Beautiful. Terrifying. Inane. I have no idea if this was shot for an upcoming episode of Good Game or if the show’s presenter ‘Bajo’ simply got bored, turned off the lights, dressed like a beat poet and got freaky. Either way, this is great value.


Here’s Some Leaked Footage From The DayZ Game

Last year’s hottest mod will this year become its own standalone game, and while we’re yet to get an official look at how DayZ is shaping up, this leaked footage gives us a few hints.


DayZ Creator Summits Everest, No Zombies In Sight

Dean Hall, the lead designer of the multiplayer zombie sensation DayZ, has achieved his goal after setting off for the Himalayas last month: he has summited Mount Everest.



DayZ Creator Takes Two Months Off To Climb Mount Everest

The lead designer of DayZ is going off to climb mountains. In a post today on the blog for the zombie survival game, which was originally built as a mod for the first-person shooter Arma 2, DayZ designer Dean “Rocket” Hall writes that he’s taking a two-month sabbatical to go climb Mount Everest in Nipal.


If The PC Release Goes Well, A Console Port Of DayZ Is ‘Almost Certain’

DayZ is very PC thing. It sprang from a mod of a game that was a PC exclusive — it doesn’t get more PC than that. But speaking to The Escapist Dean “Rocket” Hall, creator of DayZ, has claimed that a console port of the game is a possibility, and the PlayStation 4 is the most likely destination.


Surely, This DayZ Squad! Trailer Is Joking (It Is, And Don’t Call Me Shirley)

Police Squad! lasted one, glorious, six-episode season 31 years ago. The show was the forerunner to The Naked Gun, and this DayZ is a perfect tribute to the ZAZ (that’s the filmmakers Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker) brand of slapstick, absurdist, deadpan humour.


A New Web Series That Brings DayZ Into The Real World

DayZ is the kind of game that creeps into the real world with you regardless, so it’s fitting that the filmmakers at DDay Hollywood have decided to make a web series called “Apocalypse DayZ”, which reimagines the game in the real world.


DayZ Dev Show Us What A Convincing Zombie Moves Like

Boy does motion capture — the process involved in animating digital characters — looked darned goofy sometimes. This is especially true when you’re pretending to eat a human, apparently.
