<\/em><\/strong>Since the announcement of War Z<\/a>, there have been non-stop comparisons made between it and another popular zombie MMO, DayZ.<\/p>\n

The two games do appear very similar, and while some gamers feel it\u2019s either one or the other, a War Z executive producer believes they can co-exist.<\/p>\n

“There is definitely room for two great games in the same genre and we think that the gaming audience will agree,” said Sergey Titov, executive producer on War Z.<\/p>\n

“In fact we are fans of the mod. Ultimately, we hope that gamers will end up playing both The War Z and the DayZ standalone.”<\/p>\n

War Z has received a heap of criticism about copying and cloning DayZ, and trying to cash in on the success of the uber-popular ARMA II mod.<\/p>\n

“Though there are similarities, we tried to create a game that was a little bit easier to access and play, and that would allow players to be creative and create their own scenarios,\u201d said Titov.<\/p>\n

Both games are currently download only, but thanks to the popularity of DayZ, the mod is set to receive its own standalone retail release.<\/p>\n
