John Smedley Hypes H1Z1 Melee & Weather Systems

Sony Online Entertainment‘s President John Smedley has been hyping quite a bit H1Z1 on his Twitter feed. In particular, he talked about the melee & weather systems.

Initially he described the melee system in H1Z1 as “awesome”, adding that “it’s a lot of fun” and it has “combos that make sense”. He then added a bit about body physics, with a zombie’s leg collapsing after getting shot.

Shortly after that he mentioned that he just saw the weather system and he liked it for its “realism”. He then added a picture of clouds moving, and concluded saying that rain can actually be bad for some reasons, such as putting out fires (campfires, it can be assumed) in the game.

H1Z1 should be available in Early Access form some time in June. A PS4 version is also expected, but it will probably hit the platform only after the game has been launched on PC.
