I got be honest when I say it is worrying when he says it is not as feature rich as Days because Dayz is kind of lacking in features as it is. But I won't judge before I have seen people playing it I really like Planetside 2 and this is running on the same engine so who knows.

Dayz has had REALLY slow development though, so I can't imagine it taking to long for them to get H1Z1 up and running when they get tons of people playing on it.
If the game doesn't allow me to be Rick Grimes then it won't be a good zombie apocalypse game.

I dunno, DayZ has a decent amount of features, just a lack of content for those features if that makes any sense.
SOE has destroyed too many games with neglect or just pure incompetence for me to ever trust them with another title, especially one which is so easy to make as a cash grab.
Keep in mind these are the people who brought you, and ruined: Star Wars Galaxies, Planetside, Planetside 2, and DC Universe Online. Pretty amazing track record.

But they haven't ruined PS
I don't really like how he compares it to Day Z. I see it more as a better Rust. Day Z mod had more features than Standalone, and standalone was just an updated engine people had to pay for. SoE is a pretty giant company with a lot more designers to make this game better very easily. If the gunplay is good, then it'll easily beat Day Z in it's current state.
SOE kind of missed the "Survival MMO" train.
If zombies and guns are better than DayZ then Im fine with it lacking features.
Well, it is early access

The survival train, maybe. There is no survival MMO train... At least not yet. I'm hoping for one, personally.
Didn't Planetside 2 have a big issue with hackers? Don't know if its still the case, but hackers are absolutely terrible in these kind of games.
[quote]Since the initial announcement, comparisons to DayZ have been common. Smedley assures that it’s different, it’s an MMO, but warns that it won’t be as rich in features as DayZ is at the moment. [/quote]
People need to stop comparing everything with zombies to DayZ like it's the fucking origin of all zombie games.

When you have something that is the biggest and most well known (let's use the word 'archetypal') example of a genre, then all similar products are compared to it. Like WoW for fantasy MMOs, EVE for spaceship MMOs/spreadsheet simulators, Minecraft for cube-based building games.
Why is it even an issue that people are using that particular game as a point of reference
I don't mind it not having as many features as DayZ as long as it actually works.

"It's like Skyrim with Guns!"
To me it's just a really inaccurate and lazy way of describing a game and it's becoming more and more common with reviewers and LPers. It completely trivializes the entirety of a game down to something it isn't. We don't do it with movies, you don't hear someone say "Gravity is like Apollo 13 with tits!"
