Based on these streams, how does the performance look? That's what's really killing DayZ for me at the moment. Well, that, and zombies still sucking dick.

Does anyone know if the all Access pay $14.99 to play all the games listed at membership level gone live yet? I know they were talking it will sometime around April 29th.
Yea I wanted to try Landmark out but I thought that still wasnt open and in Alpha stages?

Yes, it just went live earlier today:

They are also having a special sale on the 12 month subscription, it's $99.99 for the first year (which is $8.34 per month) vs the normal $14.99 month, saves roughly 20 bucks off the normal 119.99 price.

Yeah seriously. SLI 780's and I'm getting 25FPS in some places lmao. They need to stop spending time on how much fucking colors they want backpacks in and optimize the damn game.

Yep I've just about given up on DayZ. Hope H1Z1 gives the DayZ a reality check because the current state of the game EVEN IN ALPHA in unacceptable.
DayZ has SO much potential its sad really.
Sadly, I agree. They've switched the teams around so they can rebuild the renderer for it, but I hold little hope that it's actually going to A) make the difference it needs to and B) take less than six months to complete. Building a well-optimized renderer for these large outdoor scenes is challenging work, and I don't think they actually have the technical acumen to do that successfully.DayZ has SO much potential its sad really.
In the end if they can't optimize the game to make it enjoyable to actually play it will fail.
H1Z1 will be leaps and bounds ahead of DayZ.
How so? Not much has actually been shown, has it?

Did you catch the stream yesterday? I only watched some of it and it was looked way ahead of DayZ. Not only that but the game has been in development for a much shorter period of time and has already surpassed DayZ IMO.
Also SOE has a much larger team than DayZ. I feel DayZ devs are working out of their basement as this point.
You'd think they'd start hiring some more developers to work on the project to make sure it stays ahead of the competition. Don't think it's gonna happen at this point.
They've sold 2M units. And they do have three teams going on it simultaneously, but progress is still pretty glacial. I presume due to technical difficulties in working with an Arma-based platform and ramping up new teams on it.The sad part is we can assume that DayZ has raked in a PRETTY decent amount of money considering it's been at the top of the Steam charts since it came out.

I have no love for DayZ because the engine they use is complete garbage, PS2 engine is better optimized then theres is, not that PS2 engine doesnt have its own faults but its leaps ahead of DayZ, they had there chance and missed it now SOE will mop up the rest.
During the 12 hour stream they showed off a lot of "work in progress" stuff and went around introducing the dev team. It can be assumed that a behemoth like SOE with a dev team of their size will pretty much shit all over Bohemia or whoever else is currently working on this genre of games. Also they have a much better engine, which is going to be a huge advantage to them and current players of DayZ will most definitely appreciate the better framerates.
In 4-5 months of development they are already on par with the other titles in the genre. I see them surpassing everyone in terms of content and gameplay mechanics very quickly.
Assumed? Yeah that's not gonna backfire on you. Until we have first hand experience with this game no one knows if its any good or not.

Now that looked impressive and really set the atmosphere of the world I dream of playing in.
Looks okay. If there's one criticism I have so far is that the animations look a little floaty. For something that should look fairly gritty, the MMO-style floaty animations seem to conflict with that.
Smed says H1Z1 surprise on Thursday
Maybe early access date?
he said specifically not next week on the 6th
