Nether is a first-person urban survival gaming experience unlike any other. Nether forces players to make quick life-saving decisions in an unforgiving environment. In this post-apocalyptic urban world, death is waiting around every corner, at the top of high-rise buildings, and in the grasp of powerful teleporting creatures known as Nethers. To navigate this high-tension environment, players must use skill and craft in order to obtain food, weapons, supplies, and other resources necessary to survive in a desolate and dangerous city. Players will need to choose whether or not to team up with others or go at it solo against the Nethers, other players, and unpredictable, treacherous world objectives. In the end, players must decide if they will Prey or Pray.

Features:

A vast and vertical urban/city environment, where players can access nearly all of the buildings, including multi-story sI love youcrapers
First-person perspective creates a true survival experience
The need to fulfill a world objective, coupled with scarce resources encourages emergent and cooperative gameplay
Meld of PvE (player versus environment) and PvP (player versus player)
Survival needs, such as hunger and stamina that players will need to maintain to live
A variety of dangerous enemies with different skills and behaviors
New weapons and items become available as players explore the game world
Safe zones that need to be defended from Nethers and where players can purchase, sell, trade and store items
Up to 64 players per game server
Single purchase, downloadable client allows full game access without subscription

Genre: Action, Early Access, Indie, Massively Multiplayer, RPG, Simulation

Day Z style game, looks interesting enough.

Anyone got any experience with it?

It looked good when I checked it out but memories of WarZ came flooding back and then I just wasnt sure, so I am gonna wait a while and see if this game isnt easily hacked by the thousands of russians that will try to do so.

Amount of Hollywood cliches was too high for my taste aswell.

Doesn't look impressive, tbh.

Also, on request of Vibe, the mute king:

Sweet lord this looks horrible. The extremely beautiful pictures and a trailer completely avoiding any actual gameplayfootage make complete sense now.

Dat epic knife combat.

there so many dayZ / minecraft / mmo  type games coming out its becoming really challenging to remember which is which. I thought this was the one the ex-stalker guys were making.

I hope at least one of the many hundreds of them turns out to be a great game, because I'm starting to doubt dayz standalone is ever going to live up to the potential I saw when I first played dayz.

i saw this about a month ago, i was kind of yearning for a good zombie apoc. survival with pvp to hold me over till dayz comes out, but they had me once i seen the gameplay footage of teleporting zombie squid things.  I was like "oh nvm, this took a turn for the worst, and now looks like shit".

The WarZ/Infestation (Hammerpoint) people has nothing to do with the Nether (Phosphor Games) team.
They just use the same lawyer for trademark registration and handling (he handles their 'front' in Delaware, whereas the studio is in Chicago), nothing more nothing less. There's zero connection between the two in any regard what so ever, everything else is just stupid rumors by stupid people who have no clue about how this stuff works. Not to mention that the lawyer they're using also handles a lot of other companies, such as Atari etc:

• Atari Interactive, Inc.
• Humongous, Inc.
• Microprose, LLC
• Interactive Game Group, LLC
• Illusion Softworks, a.s.
• Digital Productions
• iWin
• Creat Studios
• Limelife
• Eden Studios
• Infogrames Entertainment, SA
• Atari Europe

I have Nether, had it for a while, so far nothing has worked, new problem every day preventing people from playing it. I have my doubts its any good, but I wanted to check the PvP aspect out, see if they did anything creative with the game. Alone the fact that they've made a huge urban map is reason enough to want to test it out though IMO.

There is also Rust and 7 days to die. I tried 7 days to die but i'm not a fan of minecraft so i dumped it. Anyone tried Rust?
As for Nether i would of bought it but it seems too similar to DayZ, the only major difference is that it has a temporary safe zone and levels but that wasn't enough to make it interesting.

[Xant]

Nether is nothing like DayZ.

Nether is nothing like DayZ.

Yeah, one is an obviously shitty game and the other one is an over rated bore fest.
