I actually just commented on Dead Matter on my last Mega-Post I just made. I definitely don’t think people will say anything about U2 being a clone to dead matter. Dead matter to me looks okay but doesn’t have anything else to it. An empty huge map with lame AI. Players will be doing the same thing they do in DayZ, walking from empty town to empty town looting beans and sitting in there base waiting for PVP. There looks to be no farming, fishing, or anything survivalily. U2 in closed beta already has bandit AI lol. I think U2 will offer a way better survival experience than Dead Matter even tho Dead Matter looks more realistic compared to U2.
I have already played DayZ and its clones. Yes U2 will be a survival game like them but like in my post I think there are things that will set U2 apart.
I commented at the bottom because like you just found out about Dead Matter after I already made the post. But this game fits the perfect description of DayZ clone or DayZ 2.0. I think its the problem we see with a lot of survival games just remaking themselves. I think with the points I put into that post U2 will be able to push the genre forward, unlike our friend Dead Matter.
If Dead Matter had excursions, changing of seasons, and bandit AI maybe it would be worth playing but we have already seen that gameplay.
