Developer Hammerpoint is offering three pre-order packages, starting at $19.50. That'll get a copy of the full game when it's finished, and beta access from October 31 for now. If you pay $29.99, you also get alpha access from October 15, plus $15 of in-game currency, 3 guests keys for a beta weekend, and a month of server hosting. Or, for $49.99, you get $30 of eCash and six months of hosting.
Those prices are going up to $29.99, $49.99, and $69.99 respectively on October 21, though.
Here's a peek at The War Z's player vs. player combat:

Wow, I thought it was going to be a little more different. It's literally Day Z with barricades and a worse large area engine.

I don't get why shacknews isn't giving this much coverage to Zynga games? I hear Zynga has a sims like game that they are making. Or gameloft's newest halo-like game.

Did i say Day Z was the first? I am saying War Z is a straight up zynga/gameloft of Day Z, from the look and feel straight down to the name. IT's brand confusion and it's vile.

You are completely clueless about game development if you think this game could have just been magically created in the 4 (?) months since Day Z came out
-
"Well, we're not really developing from scratch. The design and idea for The War Z has been in place for a couple of years - we only just started developing the specific features for the game in the past year. Our team has decades of experience and we are utilizing technology that has been around for several years now and has proven itself in games with over 2 million online players worldwide. We're also relying on a mass of data collected by our friends at Online Warmongers while operating War Inc. Battle Zone. "
That makes it sound like it is possible all the Day Z parts came after Day Z. -
I never said it was created in 4 months, but if you watch the videos, you can see that it's incredibly rushed lookiing and buggy as if they had one game and retooled it quickly to ape DayZ's popularity.

They do look like they're pretty liberal about lifting things though...

"In game currency"
Nope.-
-
Seriously, lemme just give ya fifty fuckin' bucks and spare me the nickel and dime bullshit.
<<<Absolutely refuses.
Except Borderlands 2. You can charge me fifty cents for a magic key. I'd probably buy twenty bucks worth of those. Of course I got a whole game worth of game out of it up front, so it isn't exactly the same thing.-

maybe he just wants to give his money to gearbox for doing a good job... (no need to argue about how they did as it is a personal opinion)

well what if they are only doing cosmetic accessories for the in game currency and not selling power, why hate right away, lets give them a chance

Some say it looks just like DayZ... well i agree and as long as they make a proper game out of it i think it is great.
Other say that it is worst than DayZ, but i am yet to find a good explanation why it is bad, i mean saying that maps are bad or something else is bad... well did you play it? if you have, please give us some facts rather than just blind critique
And finally, they have a $19.99 starting price, i think it is a great starting price, compare to some really crappy games that some of those big companies sell for $60, so complaining about in game currency is unnecessary, unless you know of something like them selling POWER (better guns and armor)
So over all, i think it is a promising game for a reasonable $$... I am in!
