Remember when we thought the DayZ standalone was coming in 2012? We were fools. Remember when we thought we were going to have it by the summer of 2013? Ha! We were so young and foolish. So, so young.

The wait has been agonizing, but it’s dev blogs like this one from DayZ creator Dean Hall that makes me realize we have something very special when it eventually comes to us (please, soon). Take some time out of your day(z) and watch this new video blog, where Dean Hall demonstrates the new item degradation system, player restraining and a brilliant new UI that looks eons better than it did in the mod.

You know, with GTA V, the next-gen consoles and the holiday rush of games, I say take your time, Dean. I’ve waited so long for this game, I think I can wait a few more months. Take your time, get it right. It looks like things are coming along great and I can’t wait to take prisoners and start a blood farm somewhere outside Berezino (yes, you can do this in the game).

Just don’t take too long.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
