Hall: DayZ console port discussed with Sony; 'wait and see'
"Certainly I think if we don't – for want of a better word – 'fuck up' the PC release, then I would say a console port is almost certain," Hall told The Escapist. "I know a lot of people get really hot and bothered about it. Like, I'm not a console gamer, I'm a PC gamer, but I don't think it necessarily has to hurt things."
Hall has put his thoughts into action already: He met with Sony and people there were into the idea.
"It appears to be the kind of game that Sony are interested in; I think we just have to wait and see," he said. "We've talked and met with Sony, and they're obviously interested."
DayZ was initially scheduled to launch in December of last year, but now it won't see an alpha until June at the earliest. Hall's main concern is perfecting the client-server architecture, but once that's settled, he'll start sending out batches of alpha keys, possibly 50,000 at a time. And let's not forget that brief time Hall considered turning DayZ into a free-to-play experience.

In my personal view coming from playing the pc mod I dont think he should
port it over because the console scene isnt really right for a game like DayZ because
servers would be really small and I doubt they could get away with the huge map
size like on PC.

ChicagoMadePunk Dayz was a waste of a mod/game...
I think you meant to say WarZ. DayZ is a wonderful mod and soon to be great game.

Trollestia I just can't see any way a console port of Day Z would work on consoles.
How wouldn't it work? I don't play on consoles but I see no way this wouldn't work on consoles.

If they came to consoles, It better be on them all and not just Sony. I would love to have it on both PC and Xbox.

alot of console fans who watch dayz on youtube (people playing dayz on pc) would be disappointed as it would not be anywhere near the same thing. I think it would be cool and all, but it would not be the same AT ALL.
