The Steam Summer Sale Means No ‘DayZ’ For At Least Another Two Weeks
Written by Jason Nawara, @JasonNawara
If you’re reading this on July 12th, you are knee-deep in the throes of Steam Summer Sale passion. It’s a good thing. No, it’s a great thing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with opening your wallet and letting your cash fly towards all the great games that will be on sale like doves being released from their cages on a wedding day. Or a John Woo movie. You pick.
But, like anything in life, there is a negative side to the greatness that is the Steam Summer Sale: there will be no DayZstand alone game released during that time.
Steam always schedules it’s sales during the time of year when no new games are coming out, so over the next two weeks, no new games are coming out. Hence, the sale.
Rocket, the creator of Day Z, hinted at E3 that the release of the DayZ stand alone would be coming soon, but in typical fashion, the game has been delayed further and further without nary a peep from Rocket about a release date. Now, I think it’s safe to say it will not be releasing for the next few weeks, not while the Summer Sale is going down and uplifting our souls.
So what does that mean? It means at least a few more weeks of polish, which I’m sure Rocket and Co. appreciates, and it also means millions of frustrated gamers, even if they just spread their wallets wide like the legs of a $2 hooker.
This, this is the rollercoaster of emotions we gamers have to deal with. But we endure, by god, we endure.
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.
