Dayz xbox port?

[Ryanrulez5]

I heard a rumor from a friend that i dont know if its true or not. He said he saw in a magazine that Dayz would be coming to xbox in the marketplace if this rumor is true when can I expect to see it?

Psssh, good luck.
Arma 2 made for PCs and the UI is so fucking convoluted that only a PC can properly use it. The closest you'll get to DayZ on consoles is another company making a similar game.

It IS still a rumour at the moment, but if they do go through with it, it'll be the guys behind the Arma 2 game/DayZ mod and not another company. Well, maybe someone to deal with the port, like 4J Studios does with the 360 version on Minecraft but it'll still be Bohemia's work.

Good luck with that, the engine is barely tolerable on PC as it is. (Doesn't stop it from being AWESOME!)

It's wishful thinking at this point. Right! back to FLT: Faster than light! :3

Maybe the full on DayZ game they are making will be ported, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

It is far more likely some XBLA dev will make his own version of it.

DayZ is a mod (exclusive PC feature) for Arma 2 (exclusive PC game).
Now how many chances would there be for something like that ?

There is a chance that the next Arma game could pay a visit on consoles,but mods are another story.
