New Year is miracles. It is miraculously that the release of the alpha version that suddenly fell on the head can be called Dayz Standalone. Certainly, Dean Hall (Dean Hall) promised to release Alpha before the end of the year, but similar statements from the creator of the most popular modification for Arma 2 We have already heard a lot and reacted to his words, respectively. However, a week before Catholic Christmas, it became possible to know all the charms of an early assembly testing in Steam Dayz sa -For some miserable 999 rubles.
Random meeting with not quite polite girls. Will have to endure insults – new acquaintances can shoot.

Autcity products Bohemia Interactive it was always fashionable to scold for errors and imperfections. After the triumph Dayz And, as a result, the widespread spread of large sales Arma 2 The flow of jokes about “reloading the ax” and “breaking the legs on the stairs” only grew and did not think to stop – as if there were no other topics in the game, worthy of discussion. So “original” humor, which previously annoyed only the notorious Armafans, now has become a bone in the throat and the rest of the adequate public. We will not sink to such vulgarities – there are bugs, there are a lot of them, but it is better to accept it as a given and relate to possible embarrassments calmly. The rocket itself, apparently, such a “criticism” took out no less than ours – not in vain on the page Dayz Steam flaunts the inscription “Do not buy me, I am funny prealfa!”.
It is strange, of course, that for a very considerable period of development of a separate product, all these roughnesses are still not smoothed out – but, apparently, the complex architecture of the game is not easy to curb, even having a skillful team and a good budget. However, it cannot be said that the authors were folding back. Changes in comparison with the mod, even at such an early stage, are very, very significant.
Terra incognita
The first thing that catches your eye is the changes in the graphics and the converted card. As a basis Dayz The modified Real Virtuality 3, used in another game, was taken Bohemia – Take on Helicopters. It can be said that this is a transitional stage from the engine of the second “ARMA” to the third part. The grass has become greener, the textures are clearer, and the weather effects and the sky now look completely “like in life”.
New word in Chernussian architecture. You can go to every apartment, but for such splendor will you have to pay an increased load on “iron”.
Nevertheless graphics Arma 2 It is quite recognizable-however, with the local scale of the best, it is somehow stupid to desire the best, the balance between the size of the map and the quality of the picture is designed without distortion in one direction or another. They did not leave the details of locations without improvements – we can say that we have a slightly different Chernorussia than the one to which we are already used to.
No, the main cities and villages on the spot, the relief also did not undergo global changes-this is still the East European area with the sweet heart of each of our compatriots by buildings, signs in Russian and other signs of one of the countries of the social camp. But almost every settlement increased in size, the landscape became more developed, new types of houses were added, and a whole microdistrict of skyscrapers appeared near Chernogorsk. And finally, the most important thing is that all buildings are now “entered”, including these high -rise buildings!
Thanks to this, the map seems unfamiliar and completely differently looks like the process of gathering “Luta” in the vicinity-you have to rummage each room in every house, which takes a lot of time, especially at night. Plus the chances of finding something truly valuable completely insignificant: a little food and the simplest weapon like a hammer or ax is a maximum of replenishing your inventory if you stay off the coast. As before, the game drives us to the north – only there you can find normal weapons, but there are more other prey hunters that they will not fail to shoot a less successful survivor.
Stay alive
In general, in comparison with the mod, you feel more emphasis precisely on survival than on shootings with people or the fight against deaths. In time, unnecessary bleeding – death, lack of food and water – death, infection – death – death. It will not be possible to restore vitality of life for vitality: there are no animals on which you can hunt, and you need to know its group and look for a donor with the same.
One of the first finds. In general, judging by the quantity and variety of masks in the game, the plant was engaged in the release of this particular products in Elektrozavodsk.
To die of thirst and hunger or freeze in a cold night in the forest is much easier than catching a bullet or getting to a zombie dinner. The latter began to move noticeably slower, they can be escaped from them, and the population is noticeably more modest-in a small village you can find a couple of lovers of fresh human, and not a ten, as before. As for people, in the south of the cards a terrible shortage of weapons and cartridges, it is unlikely that anyone wants to spend them on a beginner, from which there is nothing to remove except the pants, but to the north of Chernorussia, where there is more Luta, you still need to get alive,that not everyone succeeds.
It is this that – to make a game about the Spring, and not the “counterthop with zombies” – and achieves the rocket, judging by the numerous interviews. This is precisely the main difference between Standalone versions and fashion, and not at all in a new map or changed inventory system.
The aforementioned equipment is similar to what we saw in the third “Armma” – objects now have volume, besides weight, they can be combined and used not only for its intended purpose. For example, a T -shirt, if necessary, breaks to rally rags, and the “trunks” (which, by the way, so far are very little) can be modified – hang a sight, under -barrel grenade launcher or flashlight. There are clothes, and this is not one element of equipment, but a few: shoes, pants, t -shirt, outerwear, headdress. Now there are no identical “caps” or “bandits” – everyone dresses as he wants. But at first, escaping from the cold, you will have to put on everything that will be able to find. Finally, the most important subject is a backpack;The more spacious, the better, because it is on how many Khabara can drag the player on himself, the duration of his life directly depends.
Take Dayz Standalone Now it makes sense only in two cases: if you actually want to participate in alpha testing, look for mistakes and send information about them to the developers, that is, do not do the easiest thing, or if there is a great desire to give the rocket and company your money with an advance. The game is still very, very raw, there are very few content – it is clear why Bohemia I didn’t want to let it out before. It is not clear what the authors have been doing all this time – amateur modifications of the original fashion are largely superior to the Alpha, which has been done for the second year. All its advantages at the moment only due to the new engine and related global changes.
Over time, the Standalone version can become a great game in all respects, only that leisurely with which Dean Hall works on his creation, inspires doubts about success. Competitors are not standing still, and after the raw Alpha can lose interest in the project, no matter how wonderful it turned out.
