Chopping down trees and crafting bows in H1Z1
Coming soon to Steam Early Access.
Sony Online Entertainment has released a gameplay demo of H1Z1, its post-apocalyptic MMO survival game.
In the demo game designer Jimmy Whisenhunt takes us through crafting, driving, combat and the game's 24 hour day/night cycle.
H1Z1 drops players in the woods with a flashlight and little else, and tasks them with surviving the open world as well as zombies.
With an axe Whisenhunt chops down a tree, then uses the game's Discover crafting system to learn the recipe for making a bow as well as arrows.
H1Z1 has vehicles, which are often in a state of disrepair. You need to craft more items to fix them up. You can also build a property - eventually.
Elsewhere, we see the 24 hour day/night cycle, how the weather and the night affect gameplay, and shooting zombies in the head.
H1Z1 is coming soon to Steam as an Early Access title. There's a PlayStation 4 version planned but it will be released after the PC version.
