War Z

tl;dr version (Click to View)

So Robert Bowling stopped working with Activision and decided to create something himself. Appears that Bowling has no ideas so he decided to copy Day Z even up to its name, bringing us The War Z - same story as Day Z, BUT on its website it is said that War Z will have some storyline (you don't have to follow it, it will just be there for those, who wants some story). See FAQ, same info as in whole non-tl;dr version, forum and even a chance to get access to closed beta-test HERE (yes, you do click )

FIRST ZOMBIE MMO
The War Z is the world's first survival mmo Zombie Game. You may have played Zombie Games before - now it's time to live one.

It's been five years since the outbreak; leaving in its wake a post-apocalyptic nightmare with ninety-five percent of the human population gone. In order to stay alive, you will need food, weapons, and other supplies. Some of you will be able to scavenge as you navigate the terrain, others will be forced to fight for survival as you encounter zombies and other players. Every decision will have an impact on whether you live or how quickly you die.

NEW GENERATION OF MMO
Forget subscriptions, forget paid DLC and expansion packs.

The War Z is as simple as this - once you install the game to your computer, you will be able to get into the game quickly and play without worrying about subscription fees, no hidden fees, and no paid updates. All updates will be seamlessly delivered to you free of charge when they're released.

Add AAA graphics and effects mixed with the ability to run even on integrated video cards or low end laptops and you have a unique, fun, experience that is available to everyone.

HUGE PERSISTENT WORLD
Choose one of the hundreds of servers to play on.
Each Zombie Game world has an area of up to 400 square kilometers.

As more worlds become available, just switch between them at any time, without losing your character's data, or paying any "world transfer fees".

The War Z is an open world Zombie Game; as you explore and immerse yourself in this post-apocalyptic world you'll discover more than you ever imagined.

You will find yourself hiding from zombies and other players;

stashes throughout your journey.

PLAY WITH FRIENDS

It's not easy to stay in touch with your friends in most games. This has been a key feature of War Z Zombie Game from the beginning. You are able to create a group, with friends, and then automatically join the same Zombie Game server together.

You will also have the option to rent and manage custom servers without leaving the Zombie Game. Players can create either public or private servers, allocating reserved slots to their friends or group members.

Yes, it even has some screenies ^_^ (Click to View)

SOURCE & OFFICIAL WEBSITE (click it)

my honest opinion, if anyone actually cares (Click to View)

Although this game is an obvious copy of Day Z, I don't care, the info on website sounds cool, screenies look cool, imho GFX is better than in Day Z (maybe I am just blind), so allinall I'd rather try this, I am 99% sure that I will buy it.

le final decision: i liek

[Pozzuh]

Robert Bowling works at Robotoki which is working on Human Element. Human Element is also a zombie game but it has nothing to do with "The War Z"
Check your information next time before making a thread. Thanks.

Cool, but has nothing to do with the game

Yeah, it's your Zombie Mods

I agree with you, since the TV series "The Walking Dead", we can see lot of zombie games (The Walking Dead, DayZ, The War Z, Deadlight...)
But if these games are good, we will not complain

@jaydi Says the person with the most zombiemods who is also developing a zombiegame

ITS. NOT. FCKING. ZOMBIE. GAME.
Why its even zombies? Word 'survivalism' doesn't mean 'zombies'.

[JariZ]

So DayZ isn't a zombiegame neither?

[Nekochan]

But main 'objective' is protecting yourself from zombies? ( a bit ).

For example, real survival game is fallout ( '97 - 2011, with hardcore mode ).
And new game 'Wasteland 2' will be released in 2013. ( first was made in '87 ). Same devs from fallout.

War Z is no Day Z copypaste. It has been in development for a longer time
