DayZ standalone, first in game footage released

A 15 minute dev diary showing off the standalone has been released, and it's staggering how different it is. It almost doesn't look like the same game to me. So pumped for it

So glad they chose to make it a full blown game instead of a packaged and sold mod. That motion blur and LOD pop-in was gross though. :(

Hopefully there will be options to change the blur, and head bobbing. 

Also I can't listen to the video as im in college but is it first person only? he never changed from first person. That's a bit worrying if it is only FP

Pretty sure it was first person the entire time. It makes sense honestly, that way you actually gotta watch your back. Adds tons of tension and suspense!

Nah I skimmed through first time and only saw bits, but he went into third person at 3.58. So it's good that's still there. I will play on FP servers only for my tense fix :P

More interiors <3.

Looks cool, but it still depends on how the engine is. While i liked dayz i couldn't stand the arma 2 engine

Looks like they have Eminem in the game. Sweet.UCF_Knight

besides the blonde hair

Looks like they made many improvements in the interiors. Also adding two explorable islands is a great plus.

The orignal was a mod. This is technically the first game in the series.

Love the fact that every building can be entered. And also the fact that loot will spawn in wrecks. It's going to be an amazing game, so much better than the mod.

Wow, this looks great!

Gimme gimme gimme.

Those islands should be fun, finding and repairing a boat will actually be worthwhile now, Utes has an airfield and a couple of barracks so that will make for some exciting gameplay. 

I think they need to do as much as possible to make you want to hold on to your character and survive. With the mod once you learn the map it gets really easy to gear up meaning death stops being a big deal and most of the tension is removed. Varied clothing could help with that, I'm interested to see what else they add. Hopefully some stuff with base building.

Same that was what I was hoping to see in this video. Hopefully for the next one.

The worst thing I could imagine about those island is being stranded on it because your boat got stolen/broken by somebody else.

I never got around to playing the DayZ mod when it released, but I heard about a major hacker problem a few weeks after release, but hopefully that will be fixed with this version. Does anyone know if a price tag has been set, or is that still unknown? 

Kind of off topic, all the qq on the DayZ forums about the new patch is hilarious. Iantheone

Looks pretty much the same. Just let me see them zombie physics, if it looks fluid i might give it another go around.Travis_Odell

15 minutes of video do barely show anything, they need to hire someone...Kane04

Now my mind is stuck on DayZ standalone. Can't get it out of my head! Elann2008

Got takeiteazy back on dayz, had some fantastic games the other day together. First we played some coop on Tavania map to get him back into things and see some of the new buildings and maps the game has gotten. Then we hit up my main server that always is full and has alot of action going on in it.

Had a huge standoff in the cherno marketplace, I donno how we made it out of there without dying, 4 people ran into the marketplace and tried to get us but we held em off each time. Then we killed a bandit in the apartments, but after getting him all the gun noise casued about 20-30 zombies to come into the apartment and came up the stairs, eazy got caught in between em and got his legs broken and was lossing blood quickly, kileld the zombies and barely got some blood, bandages and painkillers in him before he died. Then gave him some morphene I had on me (Im a medic 99% of the time in Dayz, helping others).

Got eazy a backpack off the bandit and then got few more medical supplies from the hospital and got the hell out of there ASAP and headed up north :P

Was quite the change from my usual medic play :P

Love how different this game is each time I go online, new crazy things happen within it. Weither its people rewarding me for healing them (taking me on a heli ride, giving me a bus, giving me new weapons,etc..).

The Standalone cannot come fast enough, but I love some of hte things the community has added to this dayz mod over the last while.

I'd like to see more of the standalone first. I'll stick to the DayZ mod but I do like the cosmetic features and much added interior.

looks great! :Dharry_james_pot
