GeneralRambler Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I have not heard much details on the upcoming addition of vehicles to Project Zomboid, so I just wanted to get some clarification. When "vehicles" make their way into the game, will that just exclusively include cars, or should we expect a variety of different vehicles.From engine-powered vehicles such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, mopeds, etc.To quieter, man-propelled vehicles such as bicycles, skateboards, etc. If so, would we see a large variety of vehicles on Day 1 of vehicle implementation, or will they be released few by few over time.

Narnobie111 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I know there will definitely going to be cars and I'm pretty sure bicycles too. Not sure about trucks vans and motorcycles but you never know. If not some people can make a mod of them. GeneralRambler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neltarin Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I almost hope they only add cars, trucks (with a bag slot as their trunk) and maybe bikes as vehicles, everything else I see as being not quite necessary. migulao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many ways PZ is going for an approximation of authenticity. By which I mean they're trying to make it as real as possible for what they think the zombie apocalypse is. In that regard I'd expect a mixture of many vehicles you'd expect to find in Kentucky normally. That all said, there are many things that would be given a higher priority. I think cars are fairly important (they certainly appears in a Mondoid post suggesting they're important) but I don't think the other vehicles are quiet as much. I would expect to see them in game but I wouldn't any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect to see them in game but I wouldn't any time soon. I think now that PZ has started gaining more traction and has begun gaining more popularity, they're starting to lean towards working on more demanded features, such as vehicles. While personally I don't really like this new form of development, it is entirely logical in that it's what you do to keep the audience happy. I'm still a little disappointed that MP saw the light of day far, far before NPCs, but I also understand that certain features are easier and quicker to develop, especially if they want more players. So I wouldn't be surprised to see vehicles in the near future. That said, I do hope they keep them as the potential deathtraps that they should be. A motor should attract zeds from nearby blocks, while if you become surrounded by zombies certain vehicles would get bogged down. Additionally, one might find it difficult to open a door with a zed grasping it. Narri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, one might find it difficult to open a door with a zed grasping it. I think Steam has changed the way the game is developed. Like it or loath it though the game doesn't belong to us. They can develop it how they please. They chose to go their own path while listening to their community. A system that seems to work well. I haven't exhibited the perfect manners or patience on this forum and my opinions have still been considered. I'm more than happy with that, I just don't want to be ignored. Sound is something that has changed quite a bit. I've seen more Z's move around with loud noise than before. Gunshots should bring zombies from miles around although (in my opinion) they don't yet. Cars like a large 'gas-guzzler' should bring Z's from a few streets away.Also, in another thread, it was mentioned that the streets would be derelict with abandoned cars and the motorway should be absolutely packed with abandoned cars. Cars will be extremely useful but also a massively liability. Edited July 4, 2014 by Strider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralRambler Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thanks everyone for answers my question, but I am reviving this thread since a quick question came to mind. Will cars have storage capacity, and how many players will be able to enter a car at once (multiplayer)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syfy Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 there is a LOT we don't know about those questions. just grab a seat and wait for the answers as they come out with the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffokate Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I would like to see a car, truck, and a van or jeep with varying colors not models. I mean that's not too much to ask. Once you start adding in models, then people might complain on why there's not enough models. It would give a nice variance without totally shooting for absolute realism, which you can't always do all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blasted_Taco Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 As far as it goes i would say they will add 1 type of car and a bicycle and maybe a motherbicycle cause is the same thing as the bicycle, but with fuel. Later on they will start to add more i guess. By the time the new map expansion comes out, they will up the demand of vehicles i suppost, right now hunting is the in thing.

mrblonde Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Why do we need need car's and trucks yet, when so much of the game needs to be polished. Walk before you run people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
