Dean Hall, creator of DayZ, is considering a move to consoles, as long as the PC launch goes well.

"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.

What do you guys think? IMO, I think its awesome to port DayZ to PS4. I've been waiting to play a game like this for a long time now. Some PC gamers are going to be mad because of this, don't get me wrong, I'm a PC gamer too but I would like to see this game on console so I can play with my friends because they can't afford a Gaming PC or they just can't play with a keyboard.

Don't understand why people like this game. Still good to see they are thinking about it would need some major changes to work.

first ive herd about this, does look interesting!

Would be awesome if it came onto consoles. I think, they'd only come out for the next gen consoles though

If this game does get ported, they are gona have to fix major bugs and probably extend the expeirence by adding different or bigger maps.

I personally have not played it... I have watched a couple people play it. I really like the concept behind it... I like the idea of survival games, where a player has to travel the map for food, weapons, shelter.. Imagine a game in which the player can stash the equipment and gear they find ( for the next time they join, or if they die). The stash can be found by other players (idk how the concept would work) and if a player has enough money (from trading weapons and gear) they can make the stash almost undetectable or near impossible to open. Maybe add the concept that players over time can build shelter including garages and what not.... I wish I had money to develop a game.

Concept looks good but right now it PVP. And snipers is the best way forward it just ends up hunting down other players for loot. Zombies are not a problem which sort of defeats them being in the game.
Based on what I seen off people so far that the main problem with it.
Not played it but watched a couple dozen videos of it and streams.

Make zombies more of problem and make working together a better idea. Could have a great game that is breaking the mould.

Thats going to be amazing!

this would be so good

At first I was going to say you need different groups who may work together, but also betrayed each other; it creates a real world aspect. But, I have seen a number of Youtube videos which display the PVP and that shit belongs in Arma3. So they would need to make sniping a more challenging task also. Okay, I see what you mean... The game appears to be very much incomplete in application but in concept it appears good.
