Whatever floats peoples boats. I loved the way you built up your character and the city aspect...and JTL, but that part is tied to star wars.

Space ship zombies! (Seriously that would be hilarious... Blown up spaceships that take on a mind of their own and suck your fuel dry if you get too close trying to turn you into a space ship zombie)

They could literally take Pre-NGE, change character models, add zombie skins, change pew pew to bullets and light sabers to swords and change recipes for crafting (Leaving in the same harvesting, factories, etc) and should technically be able to launch it in a month.

For the people stuck behind firewalls at work.

Sony Online Entertainment, the studio behind EverQuest and Planetside 2, has launched a teaser site for it's next major project, ahead of an expected reveal tonight.

Currently being referred to as H1Z1, SOE president John Smedley explained via Twitter that "the new game we haven't announced" is set to be revealed tonight replete with gameplay footage at 5pm PT / 8pm ET / 1am GMT. All we have so far is a ghostly teaser site, suggesting the game may be rather spooky.

Further tweets from Smedley suggest a full release may not be too far off, as he wrote "You can play it yourself soon". While we don't know for certain what the game is about, the name is slightly reminiscent of H1N1, a strain of flu virus responsible for pandemics. The inclusion of the letter "Z" has led some to believe it's about a zombie outbreak.

Whatever it is, we'll find out soon enough. SOE has spoken before about an unannounced MMO it has in development, so it'll be interesting to see if tonight's reveal is in any way linked. Additionally, while we can assume a PC release is guaranteed, the company has appeared more and more interested in launching games on both PS3 and PS4, so a console release isn't out of the question.

H1Z1 - Polygon

"H1Z1 is an MMO that allows players to take on the role of an apocalypse survivor who is in a world that is filled with zombies," Smedley told Game talk Live. "A world! Not just a little tiny server."

"We are in the middle of putting that in so you are gonna be able to burn down trees, burn down stuff, and that's gonna be a lot of fun. The idea is that these players [are] building these forts and all of the sudden these other guys coming in lighting it on fire and waiting till they come out of the fortress ... is awesome."

"Oh God yeah," Smedley said when asked about day and night, "but in this game it matters a lot more than in others because it gets really dark at night and you need to have a torch and you will be ganked by other players, zombies. So we [have] vehicles in here. We can actually have aircraft if we want. Our goal is to build out this entire massive massive world that is this apocalypse of the United States."

Sounds like DayZ MMO + Planetside + Crafting. They better have some cooking recipes from Terminus.

Didn't catch all of it, was playing PS2. Here are the highlights I caught:

Highlights from tonightsGTL StreamandSmed's Intro Poston theH1Z1 Subreddit

"we want our players to make Woodbury from The Walking Dead if they want to. Or take over a prison. Or fix an old car so you and your friends (yeah we have multiplayer vehicles) can run zombies and players over mercilessly, and revel in the sheer delight of hearing a zombie scream as you light it on fire, or craft a gun to take down your friends and enemies alike."

"If you prefer a quiet life as a farmer raising crops... we're going to make sure your zombie apocalypse fantasy is complete. If you're like me and you want nothing more than to kill everything that moves, by all means see how that goes. It's going to be a blast!"

Very deep crafting system SWG style. Getting a car going will require a battery, charging the battery, spark plugs, fuel, etc.
Click to expand...
Sandbox style gameplay where players can build their own shelters, fortresses, with weaponry to defend from Infected and hostile players.
Click to expand...
Different from DayZ because its a persistent MMO. This means thousands of players. An economy. Trading.

Even if zombies are the most played out theme in gaming, there isn't actually a good open world/sandbox zombie game out there

With Planetside 2 engine can easily see this being feasible. DayZ and Left4Dead are pretty damn cool, but a zombie MMOG could approach something like the Walking Dead TV show but in a game.
