Rikashey Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I just can't see them in PZ. The game is somewhat unique in a way and adding cars seems kinda ridiculous. I mean, just imagine what multiplayer would be like with cars. Players driving all over the place running over zombies and crap. The game would be like some early GTA ripoff with zombies. It would lose it's appeal. Now I can see adding in bikes and motorbikes as transportation but not cars and trucks. Motorcycles are smaller, simpler to work on, and require less gas. Moveable containers such as shopping carts and wheelbarrels sound great and I'm all for it. But cars on the other hand sound sorta ridiculous for this game. If the devs add in cars they might as well add in dragons and change the name of the game to Project Zomboid 2: GTA Boogaloo.

Jela331 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 What about when you choose an Overweight perk, you get that scooter thingy for obese people. Imagine rolling down the street in this with zombies chasing you. Sammy The Salmon, Sieben, Bioradical and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurruk Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Don't expect any of the vehicles being usable when first introduced into the game, but they will add the feel of loneliness and tragedy that happened to that place. As for communication - I'd prefer the car over push bike or motorcycle, because you can fit a lot of the staff inside and not really be worried about zombie grabbing you when passing by. And also it doesn't mean how much you'll try to ridicule it or compare to some other less interesting titles (like the video you've linked), it's still going to happen. Just deal with it. 123Imirish and Nero 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waib Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 when you consider that it already takes over 20 actual minutes to get from muldraugh - west point (sprinting all the way) and how much bigger the map is supposed to become, yes i think vehicles are a necessity. I sincerely doubt a sport bike is a more viable option considering it has no storage space and is much more dangerous to operate than a car. 123Imirish and Spaniard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomiboi Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 You (OP) seem to think that cars would be like in gta where you just ram through every object and get a little smoke out of the vehicle... That's not how cars work. And that's also not how car accidents work. If you drive over a 80kg man even at 50km/h he's going to come ramming through your windshield and most likely make a mush of your bones. Not to talk about what would happen if you'd hit a tree or a horde of zombies... So no. You're not going to use the car to "run zombies over and crap". A car is not meant to cause accidents. It is meant to avoid accidents. I once had a car hit the side of my truck. I was going 50 km/h and he accelerated from stop to about 20km/h. The car literally flew at least 4 meters to the direction I was heading and landed on a snow bench in an about 30o angle. Lucky for the guy his car only got hit on the passangers side so he survived without a scratch, but if he would have had a passenger that person would have probably died. Even then, the man was so shocked he could barely speak. 123Imirish, Zyklon-M and Spaniard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeOrwell Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Absurdly ridiculous argument, apparently assuming all cars are comical little toys that are all made out of plastic and bounce around and act exactly as they do in GTA.

Rikashey Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 There should be horses. That isn't a bad idea at all. We're playing in Kentucky afterall. Traveling around with your faithful horse companion would be pretty cool. parishkl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 i would like to have cars in the game, i think it adds a different element to it, especially if you can quickly scavenge a store, in and out with a group then head back to base. although i would like this to be rare, or broken and needs to be fixed up by maybe an engineer, mechanic or whatever, this makes scavenging for parts more fun imo the bikes and quads i also love, but im just wanting everything to be rarer or broken, whatever works, you don't want everyone to have transport etc oh and tractors would be a great addition aswell +1 for me, nice, except keep cars :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniard Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 . . . . Vehicles are being added, like others are saying, this ain't GTA. I hate to give this example but think of the walking dead, do cars suddenly become unstoppable tanks in a zombie apocalypse? Please, understand that this game is almost like a zombie apocalypse simulator, and also a role playing game. Not having vehicles makes absolutely zero sense.

Anvilman6 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Either orwould be a fantastic improvement over having to run an Olympic marathon to get West Point and back, especially if the map is going to expand as much as the devs are letting on. parishkl, dnk3912 and Sammy The Salmon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsaved_progress Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah i gotta say, cars will be sweet. Littering the streets adding to the atmosphere for sure. I'll personally be riding a push bike, but I can see the appeal of a car for longer journeys and hauling supplies. I think vehicles will revolutionise this game as much as NPC's or 3D...maybe that's a big call, but a speedy container on wheels, yes please! Plus Max Brooks highly recommends the push bike so I want to have it in game desperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saranis Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I want parked cars that you can't drive. I would like you to be able to loot things such as first aid kits or other things often found in cars from them. I wouldn't mind bikes so long as you can still get exhausted from them. I don't want motorbikes or anything like that either. unsaved_progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deprav Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I don't want motorbikes or anything like that either. Well, it's up to you if you don't want to use them, but you'll have some troubles reaching other cities when they'll be around.Vehicles are pretty much indispensable, but they have to be done right. and I trust TIS to make the right calls anyway. unsaved_progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaelkerensky Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Definitely want a bicycle. Properly maintained they're extremely quiet, and as long as your zombies aren't runners you can distance them fast. Add in the maneauverability to go around car packed roads, being lightweight enough to lift over moderate obstacles and the ability to go offroad they are one of your best vehicle choices... Of course you are giving up protection and carrying capacity, but i travel light anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowbar Felt Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Cars should be definitely added, drive able or not. I would love to see the highways out of West point or other towns littered with abandoned cars, accidents on the roads or even a car that plowed through a store window! It would give the game a lot more atmosphere and make it look like it was a actual town that people lived in. This also opens up quests for NPCs and their meta-game. One survivor could say that he was almost out of the city when he ran out of gas, or other things happened to his car. parishkl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feral_donkey Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Not really on my list. I'd rather have quality NPCs given a choice. But working or not some car models littered around would add to the realistic look. parishkl, Bioradical and CaptKaspar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomiboi Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The devs have already said that cars will be added... also they have said that when added they will be drivable and not just standing around. So pretty much a moot point discussing it imo. unsaved_progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123Imirish Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 There should be horses. ..Well there is a pony riding place at the west farm, Imagine strolling in Louisville on that, only to have AMC sue you for hiding under a tank as the horse got eaten alive, MUH HAH HAH Absurdly ridiculous argument, apparently assuming all cars are comical little toys that are all made out of plastic and bounce around and act exactly as they do in GTA.

ExcentriCreation Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I personally expect cars to be pretty much useless, an awesome feature, but useless all the same.You drive up to a house & go scavenging for an hour or so (game time) & find Zed throwing you a party when you return. In the words of Sam Hoffman "Cars make noise, Zed likes noise" Yet regardless of that. The map is already huge, given how big it is likely to get & for the immersion factor I'm still looking forward to them being implemented. Its not the best analogy because of the weight difference but, hit a deer or a kangaroo with your car there's no fixing it. Same goes for Zed, hit him at speed & your car is a write off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aenye Deithven Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Well, most cars can't just drive off the road and into a woodland path to chase down a deer or frolic in the warmth of the afternoon sun. Sure, maybe a truck could do that, but a regular, everyday car would get stuck in the mud, etc... I personally expect cars to be pretty much useless, an awesome feature, but useless all the same.You drive up to a house & go scavenging for an hour or so (game time) & find Zed throwing you a party when you return.Would be pretty "fun" to go driving around in your car and have a backseat zombie waiting...

If the devs add in cars they might as well add in dragons and change the name of the game to Project Zomboid 2: GTA Boogaloo. I understand where you are coming from but you have to understand the following points,1.The roads will be to littered with road to make them something you use an loot runs, a lot of roads will be impassable in cars,2.Petrol, when other items are implemented, will have a variety of uses, but unless you have a petrol siphon. Also most cars would be running low on petrol, many would have been kept running as their owners fled.3GTA, although a great game, does not have realistic cars, you can be dropped from Mt. Chiliad and If you land on 4 wheels you are A ok. In real life If you are driving along and you hit a cow, Have you seen what happens in Halloween 2 (2009)? It ain't pretty. What if you crash into a clutter of cars? Death, car is trashed, OR you could get trapped inside the car and get swarmed by Zed. parishkl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
