Well it's E3 time again. Dayz standalone info is already coming down the pipeline.

Haven't had a Dayz post in a while so I figured it appropriate to let everyone see some of the information that is coming from Dayz standalone.  E3 seems to be pretty awesome this year.  The new consoles Playstation 4 and Xbox One are causing quite a stir though honestly I'm a PC gamer so I'm kinda just sitting back with popcorn enjoying the war. I've not posted about E3 info yet but I'll make a much larger post later after E3 is over and all the good info has been collected. Anyways Check out the Dayz standalone stuff below.



Dayz Standalone New features list. Found at DayzTV

Hello again! Found a few more games I forgot to add (oops). I also wanted to note I have disabled comments for the Survival Games list page as it was up to over 50 comments and was making the page really large and was extra loading the games list didn't need.  DON'T PANIC. You can still suggest games and leave comments on the "Contact Watchsurvival" tab of the website. From now on leave all game suggestions there.  Thanks.

Survival Games List updated! Six more survival games added: Timber and Stone, Wurm Online, 7 Days to Die, Miscreated, Zday, Survivor Zero

Hello survivors! Took a little time off today to update the survival games list with some fresh games.  I just want to again remind everyone that I read all your comments and your suggestions and I try to get to them when I can, please do not think your comments or suggestions go unnoticed.  2013 is the year of survival games as the survival games list just keeps getting bigger and bigger!  Keep the suggestions coming!  Also I am looking for more feedback for the website. If any of you have website suggestions on layout or features or anything else for that matter please leave suggestions or comments. If you think everything is fine as it is, feel free to say that as well.  I feel like as a whole the survival genre needs a community so I may possibly be adding a forum in the future to watchsurvival if others agree and think that is a good idea.   Don't forget to give Watchsurvival a like on facebook as well https://www.facebook.com/Watchsurvival as I share all types of survival game related stuff there as well (no spam I promise) anyways, on to the reason you came here. The Games!
