DayZ more likely on PS4 than Xbox One

4.7
Both Microsoft and Sony have approached Bohemia Interactive about porting DayZ to new hardware, but creator Dean “Rocket” Hall is more in favour of the PlayStation 4 than Xbox One.

“We talked to both of them. But, as I’m sure you’re aware, Sony lets you self-publish and they don’t make you pay for updates,” Hall told Eurogamer.

“Microsoft requires you to have a publisher. They have no digital distribution strategy and they require you to pay $10,000, or whatever it is, for updates.”

Hall said that Bohemia likes Sony, and that he personally liked what he saw on the PlayStation 4.

“I like what I saw on the Xbox in a lot of cases as well,” he added. I’m not shitting on them. I’m kind of hopeful that Microsoft has just forgot to talk about its indie support. Maybe I’m being a bit naive.”

The architecture of both consoles mean Hall doesn’t see many barriers to getting DayZ running on either of them.

“It’s totally achievable. The only barriers are the ones console manufacturers put up in the way of indie devs,” he said.

“That’s the only barrier now. I’d love to see this on Xbox Live. I’d love to see it on PS4.”

A console port is probably inevitable but the DayZ team won’t start on it until the PC standalone release is finished.

HandGunsOnly The amount you have to pay has been the same for Xbox 360. Like a few people have said, it is an incentive for game publishers. However Xbox have been improving their Indie game structure and will probably continue to. I'd say there is much more to come for Indie Developers on the Xbox One!


Like I have said before do your research before commenting. First the amount is not the same you only have to pay 4 dollars for PS plus per month and xbox live is 60 dollars every year and ps plus is 50 dollars every year also you get way more out of PS plus. Also indie development for Xbox has gone way down. That is because It costs 10,000 dollars to pay to update your game once. For a small developer that is almost impossible! That is why some much indie developers are hording over to the ps4 were you don't have to pay for updates. If you don't believe me look at Dayz. The development team said that if their official release for the PC goes good, they would do a console port, but only for the ps4. Sorry I am just trying to state the facts. :)


I think they pay $60 so they don't get hacked offline. But I do understand the reasoning behind only doing it on the PS4. Already going to PC anyways though, so it doesn't matter for me!

INxURxHEAD This would pretty much seal the deal, as if the deal hasn't been sealed already. I cannot wait for the PS4, or next gen in general to release. Also with the DayZ as a possibility, wouldn't that mean Arma would tag along aswell?


No because it would be the standalone by the time it comes out

At least $50,000 is a good incentive to develop games for the PS4, I am sure thought in time they will bring this game to both consoles, the question is just which one first.

Kicka lol how nobody picked up on the fact kingdom hearts 3 is ps4 exclusive, and if that doesnt make you lean towards ps4, you are either an xbox fanboy or just naive


That's not true, first ive never heard of kingdom hearts, and honestly that sounds pretty stupid.


You've never heard of Kingdom Hearts? Damn.


How is that even possible? That game was amazing! xD.
