Jimmy Whisenhunt, uno dei game designer di H1Z1, ci parla un po' del gioco, mostrandocelo in azione in un nuovo, lungo video di gameplay. H1Z1 è sicuramente uno dei simulatori di sopravvivenza più promettenti in arrivo, anche grazie ai nomi che ci sono dietro (è sviluppato presso gli studi di SOE). Presto lo vedremo nell'accesso anticipato di Steam, successivamente potremo giocarci anche su PlayStation 4.

00:00Hey guys, what's going on? I'm Jimmy Wizenhunt, game designer here on H1Z1.
00:05We just got back from E3, ran a bunch of demos over there.
00:07We focused a lot on showing off combat, vehicles, and building.
00:11So today we're going to run through that with you guys,
00:13so you can get the opportunity to see what we were doing over there,
00:16as well as we're going to be able to show the boat.
00:19We couldn't even do that at E3, so we're pretty stoked to show it off.
00:22So let's jump on in.
00:23Alright, so we're here in-game. This is H1Z1.
00:25For those of you guys not familiar, H1Z1 is a post-apocalyptic MMO survival game.
00:31It's kind of a mouthful, but it's what we're working on here at SOE.
00:34And as you can see, the world's pretty big, right?
00:36There's a lot of things that can happen here. The goal really is sandbox gameplay.
00:40We want everything to be super intuitive.
00:41Imagine you're dropped in the woods with less than what you have in your pockets right now.
00:45You've got an axe, you've got a flashlight.
00:47I'm cheating a little bit for the purpose of showing you guys all this.
00:50I have a backpack and some things in here that would typically take me a couple weeks
00:54to get all the materials for and craft so we can show that off.
00:57But yeah, so all you're going to start off with, you have a shirt, you've got your jeans here.
01:01And yeah, that's about all you got.
01:03So we wanted to be very, very intuitive in the way that I have an axe.
01:06I can go in my inventory here.
01:08I can see in the crafting window to make a campfire.
01:10I need wood, so I need to chop down a tree.
01:13And over the years, I've been trained playing video games that if there's an axe stuck in a stump
01:17or there's a tree and I have an axe that I just can't chop it down.
01:20Thankfully, I get an opportunity to work on a game where we can actually have some fun
01:24and be able to chop these trees down and get all the materials you need in a pretty easy way.
01:29Now, I want to point out that as I chop this thing down, you'll see it here in a bit,
01:32but they're going to fall and it's going to make a lot of noise.
01:35And as you're looking off in the distance, just imagine that one of these trees comes falling down right now.
01:39It alerts me to a couple of things.
01:40There's a player out there and he's in the middle of trying to get materials together.
01:44So I can go out there and I can jack his stuff I wanted to.
01:46I could hope that maybe he has something I need, or I could just avoid them altogether.
01:51Even just go out and try to make a friend.
01:53You've got to be careful of those type of situations.
01:55People get a little crazy in these games and it's definitely part of the fun.
01:58But as I run through here, I'm going to try to get the materials together to show off the bow
02:03because I'm actually going to need it.
02:05There's a zombie running up on me right now, as a matter of fact.
02:08Let's actually deal with this real quick.
02:11Since the last time that we showed a lot of this, they're actually quite a bit harder to kill.
02:15Made it look a little easy there.
02:17But so our discovery system is what starts your crafting, your crafting pathway.
02:21So discovery essentially, I'm going to throw a log in here that I got from that tree.
02:24I'm going to click discover and it's going to tell me that I can make wood planks.
02:27This is going to look a little linear at first, but now I made a wood plank.
02:32I'm going to take the wood plank, throw that in, and it's going to show me that I can make
02:36wood sticks.
02:37Now it's going to open up a little bit once I make one of these.
02:40So when I pulled this in, you notice a lot of the stuff grayed out.
02:44Now when I drag it in, I can combine that wood plank with a wood stick, which means now I
02:49have a new recipe.
02:50So I'm going to click discover and it's going to tell me that I can make an animal trap.
02:54Animal traps is something you throw on the ground and animals get trapped in it.
02:57You'll be able to pull them out, cook them, and have food that way.
03:00And maybe some fur and stuff as we move forward.
03:03But really what I'm focusing on right now is I want the bow.
03:07And I don't know how to make that yet.
03:08So I'm going to actually pull my shirt off here, which usually isn't going to be an initial option.
03:13You can, but you're going to lose a lot of space.
03:14I have a backpack, so we're going to hurry on along.
03:16I got some scraps of cloth out of that by salvaging.
03:20And so now I'm going to take the stick, I'm going to take the cloth, and then those two together
03:26are going to be a wooden bow.
03:29So I'm going to craft that out.
03:32And it should auto-equip.
03:33Yeah, there it is.
03:34Cool.
03:34So I am going to take these in.
03:38Crafting, here we go.
03:39And make a bunch of wood sticks, a bunch of wood planks, and then a bunch of wood sticks.
03:46I need to discover the fact that I can make arrows from sticks.
03:50Takes a little while.
03:53And now I have a bunch of arrows.
03:55So I have 15 arrows now.
03:57Cool.
03:57So we can move along now.
03:58I want to make sure that I got that out of the way quick because throughout this demo, we do
04:03play some things in the world.
04:04But every time we've run this demo at E3, we had no idea what to expect.
04:08We've seen very, very different situations.
04:09And a lot of it's due to the fact that we have some emergent AI in our game.
04:14So as you run around, you may see a zombie.
04:17Other times you might see 20.
04:19Or you might see nothing at all.
04:21And then you see a deer running out.
04:22And those 20 zombies were there last time.
04:24We're now chasing it directly at you.
04:25So it's a very, very dynamic experience, even while we're running demos at E3, which actually comes out to a
04:30lot of fun.
04:31It's not the same old thing every time.
04:33I'm going to throw this vehicle down real quick.
04:35And I'm going to jump on in.
04:37And when you find these vehicles in the world, they're typically going to be in different states of disrepair.
04:41So some of them are going to be missing a wheel, a battery, just different things that allow them to
04:46run.
04:46You're going to have to craft those items and put them inside the inventory of the vehicle to repair them
04:50and get them working again.
04:51They also do use gas.
04:52You can see at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen, there's 95% right now.
04:56They're really gas-heavy right now.
04:58Of course, we do have the ragdoll in right now.
05:00All the zombies are rigged up for that.
05:01But you will do damage to your vehicle as you do this.
05:05You're not just some unstoppable zombie-killing juggernaut in a jeep.
05:09You will want to try to hold back on doing this all the time.
05:14However, I'm not going to have too much extended use out of this, so I'm going to have some fun.
05:18And as you move along through our world, you're going to find some survival camps, or survivor camps, where you
05:22can kind of tell they didn't make it through here.
05:24And in these areas, you can find various things.
05:26You can find things like pre-built campfires, and you can use those if you don't already have one.
05:30It's kind of nice and easy.
05:31And I'm going to try to run through here and see if we can find anything.
05:35You'll find containers like this in the world, as well as things actually spawning on top of vehicles or on
05:40the ground on shelves.
05:42And things will be kind of where you expect them.
05:44So you're going to find food in shelves.
05:45You're not going to find it kind of laying around, unless you're at a campsite and maybe around the campfire.
05:49Oh my god, I'm getting destroyed behind me.
05:52Making this look a little easy right now, zombies, and I think we want to continue down this path.
05:55It's pretty exciting.
05:56is that they're pretty rough to kill unless you shoot them directly in the head.
06:00And the bow does have drop.
06:01It is a skill-based weapon.
06:04At point blank, it does take a while to draw out the bow and actually get the arrow knocked and
06:10everything, as you can see here.
06:11It's not always the best decision to just hit them up close.
06:13So you can actually still push with the bow.
06:15You can push zombies back.
06:16You can also punch.
06:18But you need to right-click to actually pull that back.
06:21So I'm going to jump back in my vehicle here.
06:23Actually, it looks like I've taken some damage.
06:25I'm going to go around this direction.
06:28Just a little bit ago, I showed in my inventory I have a couple things that you normally wouldn't start
06:31with.
06:32Those are foundations.
06:33These particular foundations are stilt foundations.
06:37They're built to be used against hills and a little bit easier to place.
06:40And we'll show that right up here.
06:44We, at E3, were using our dew collectors as objects that snap onto foundations.
06:50And we actually found that we would rather have those to be something you can place into the world.
06:53And I'll show that right here.
06:55Let me jump on out real quick.
06:59I'm going to reach in my inventory.
07:00I'm going to grab one of these wood foundations, the stilt foundation.
07:02Now, this is a high-end foundation.
07:03This is going to take you a while to build, as you can imagine.
07:05You see all these planks on it.
07:07You're going to have to gather all those and put those together.
07:09So I'm going to put this down right here, go up our stairs, and I'm going to grab one of
07:14our pre-canned buildings.
07:15These will take a few more resources, but they're nice if you just want to plop down some storage on
07:19your property.
07:20Or you can door this off and just start to flesh it out using these buildings, as well as walls
07:25and the like.
07:26And the dew collector that we showed before is now placeable within the world.
07:29So you can actually find an area, or you can take over one of those campsites if you'd like, and
07:33just place that down there.
07:35So I am, what that will be used for is situations when it's raining outside or in the mornings, it'll
07:40collect some fresh water.
07:41I actually think, I did grab an empty bottle a little while ago.
07:44So I'm going to run on down to the lake down here.
07:46And I am going to put some water in it.
07:49And you'll see when I do this, it's going to be dirty water.
07:51You can imagine right now going and drinking out of your local pond or lake.
07:54It's not a good idea without actually filtering that out, boiling the water, killing all the bad stuff in it.
07:59And after the apocalypse, I'm sure it's going to be a lot worse.
08:02So I'm going to use this bottle, and it gives me dirty water out of this, because I'm standing here
08:05in the water.
08:06And if I drink that, it's going to do some damage to me.
08:08And I'll actually do that right now.
08:10It's going to do some damage to me, but it's also going to give me some hydration.
08:12So it's a little bit of a trade-off.
08:13You can filter that out with charcoal filters, filters and the like, boil the water.
08:18But the dew collector solves that problem.
08:20As you start crafting that sort of thing out of a tarp and wood, you'll be able to be more
08:24self-sufficient
08:25and not worry about the dirty water.
08:26You can collect fresh water that way when it's raining.
08:28Actually, while we're on the topic, every day we do, the system will pick what type of day it's going
08:35to be.
08:36It could be a rainy day, a sunny day.
08:38It could be darker when it's cloudy outside.
08:40And you can see it can vary anything from this, which is a very light rain, which actually we think
08:44you can see here,
08:45all the way up to something like this.
08:47And you can see it actually affects the environment.
08:49It's going to affect the dynamics of the vehicles.
08:50Your character's going to get wet.
08:51He can get cold if it's too bad outside.
08:53You need to stay dry.
08:55We've actually worked out the system because we don't want anything to be decoration to not rain underneath trees.
09:01So you'll be safe under here.
09:02Throw down a campfire and you'll be solid and try everything out.
09:05Cook your meal and all that fun stuff.
09:07So moving on forward here.
09:10I'm going to turn the lights back on.
09:12I'm going to see what's happening.
09:14We actually have some zombies that are typically in this area, but this is where it's so unpredictable.
09:18Sometimes a deer comes running through here, a wolf causes a ruckus, and they are running off.
09:22So let's see.
09:23Looks like there are some here.
09:26Let's see if we can hit this guy from this distance.
09:28Barely.
09:30And the rain also, it's also not just something that can affect your character and just be pretty on the
09:36ground.
09:36It actually affects how it looks during the day as far as the light and everything as well.
09:42So it is a little bit harder to hit these shots.
09:45I'm going to run up here and see if we can find anything.
09:47We had a gun up here for the demo.
09:49I'm actually glad that we don't have it anymore.
09:51I get to use the bow some more.
09:54And I'm actually not going to make it through.
09:55I'm a horrible shot with a bow, apparently.
09:57Regardless of the fact I work on it, I can't shoot worth a darn.
10:00So I'm going to run back down to my Jeep.
10:01I'm going to go around the corner up here and show you guys a little bit about our dynamic weather.
10:05And our time of day stuff, if you're not familiar with that, it is a full 24-hour day cycle.
10:10We do tune how long that lasts.
10:13And I'll speed that up and show you guys what the day...
10:15Oh my god.
10:15What the days and the nights look like.
10:19It's a huge difference in games life, depending on when you log in.
10:22We want to make sure that there are reasons to play at night as well.
10:25I'm actually just going to stop over here on this bridge and see if we can change the hour a
10:30little bit.
10:30This is a rainy day, and this is about noon on a rainy day.
10:33A really, really rainy day.
10:35Really Pacific Northwest, you can see there.
10:37And as it starts getting a little bit darker on in the day, let's say something like...
10:42Something like 10 o'clock.
10:44I'm sorry, 8 o'clock, rather.
10:468 o'clock at night, it starts getting pretty dark.
10:48And the darkest you'll see in our game is when it's raining outside and 3 a.m.
10:53And it gets pretty intense.
10:54You do start off with a flashlight.
10:56It will run out of battery.
10:58It has changed our game completely.
11:00If you hadn't seen anything from us in a while, we used to have a torch.
11:02We pulled the torch from the starting equipment because, frankly, everyone was on fire within 5 seconds.
11:08And so was everything else.
11:09So, flashlight, I think it looks a lot cooler.
11:11It adds a different feel to the game.
11:13And it's a better point light overall.
11:16But yeah, that is H1Z1 in a nutshell.
11:18I'm Jimmy Wizenhunt, game designer on the project.
11:20We look forward to giving you guys more updates on the game as we move forward.
11:23And we hope to get you guys in as soon as we can.
11:25Thank you.
11:25We'll see you guys in the next video.
11:26Thank you.
11:26Thank you.
11:27Thank you.
11:27Thank you.
11:28Thank you.
11:28Thank you.
11:29Thank you.
11:30Thank you.
11:30Thank you.
11:31Thank you.
11:31Grazie a tutti.
