H1Z1 – New Details On Zombie AI & New Screens

Sony’s upcoming H1Z1 is sounding like a very ambitious but also very interesting title, with dynamic AI, crafting and survival elements, all rolled into an MMO.

The latest piece of info about the zombie survival is regarding how the zombies behave while in the dark. Whilst you would think that hiding from zombies under cover of darkness sounds like a great idea, Sony seems to disagree. The enemies will still be able to sense your prescence and will still move towards you, even if you can only just see them. If we were talking with normal movie zombie logic, this is probably due to sense of smell and the animalistic nature of zombies.

Regardless of the thinking behind it, we know that even darkness is not safe in H1Z1. I think this could very well add a sense of tension to the game during night time, as you will actually be even more vulnerable because you won’t be able to sense the zombies as well as they can sense you.

As well as this, there were a few screenshots released, which you can find in the gallery below.
