Vehicles And Bases Coming To ‘DayZ’ In Next Six Months

Dean Hall recently held a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) where he discussed upcoming content we can expect to see gradually make its way to the game, as well as a few choice words on the “competition.” First off, the new content. Developer Bohemia Interactive is keeping busy with tons of new content they have planned to release over the next six months, including vehicles, hunting, camping, and base building.

“Vehicles will be done based on the architecture we are doing for items/weapons now (i.e. attachments),” Hall wrote. “So it’s in progress really. We are replacing the physics system for items (throwing, etc…) and this new middleware will be used for vehicles also.” Hall wrote. More after the jump.

When asked whether or not Hall saw similarly themed games like Rust and Project Zomboid as competition, the short answer is no.

“I don’t see Rust, PZ, as competitors,” Hall said. “I also think DayZ has already ‘won’ anything it needed to. Now we just need to make it a good game. It doesn’t need to sell any more units, it just needs to improve. Then that means we have a good reputation to make good future games.”

The standalone has sold well over a million copies already, and that’s for a pricey ($35) game that’s still very much unfinished. Clearly, people don’t care so much about its current state, and it looks like Hall knows this and is more focused on making DayZ the best it can possibly be.

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.
