Didn't really realize at the time the influence that Arma ll Dayz Mod had in the gaming industry. I started playing Dayz Mod right when FrankieonPC posted the second chapter of his series. I fell in love with that game right when I saw it. After that I played Epoch, Overpoch specially in Taviana and Panthera maps. I stopped playing after 1000 hours put in Arma 2 and then tried all the rest, WarZ, H1z1, Rust PUBG, etc. I think it was 2014 that DayZ SA was released and the first months were absolutely insane. There was a shit ton of bugs which could be frustrating but we still managed to have fun. With 0.62 version it improved a lot and now I can't believe all the progress that the game has made. I've got over 5000 hours in DayZ Standalone and I don't imagine stop playing it anytime soon. The game of my life 💘 Thanks Dean Hall, thanks Bohemia and DayZ Devs for this master piece!
making frankie's name yellow at the end credits 15:55 was a really nice attention to detail i love stuff like that. nice video it was well put together and the music choices made the video feel wholesome
This unlocked forgotten memories, I was slime 6 or 8 watching Frankie and Jack play dayz, that old inv menu and the mention of jack fired off neurons. Thank you for reminding me of simpler times
My story is similar to yours, seeing dayz for the first time was magical. And everything about it was magical. I used to play on my XBOX 360 everyday but once I got a PC to play DAYZ I neglected my friends on the xbox and barely touched because DayZ was that good. I am 100% sure no game will ever give me that feeling that Arma 2 Dayz did around 2012. Im not sad that I will never experience anything like it ever again, I am happy that I got to experience it.
Seeing DayZ for the first time back in 2012 was crazy. I’d never thought we’d actually ever have a game like this. I bounced between Xbox and PC when DayZ came out, but Rust legacy in 2013 was the game that made me completely switch to PC. I have to thank DayZ for Rust’s creation 😀
People should be grateful a game like DayZ exists. After all these years, there still isn’t really a game quite like it. DayZ not only provided people an incredible game, but it also set the foundation for many games futures!
duuuuuude I just miss old school Arma 2 DayZ... It's been a while... No, it's really been more than just a while since I thought about the old times... kinda makes me reminiscent. Really wonder what the people from back than are upto. And if there will be another game like this somewhen, it struck so many people and brought so many people together.
Arma 2 DayZ had a jankiness charm to it that I know a lot of people miss. DayZ Standalone is a fundamentally better game, but it took a long time for people to see that simply because of how special the mod was for some people 😀
DayZ inspired two games of Roblox - Apocalypse Rising and Deadzone (the latter being more WarZ inspired really). Nelson Sexton, the creator of Deadzone, then went on to create his own game in the Unity engine because an exploiter on Roblox stole his game and Roblox moderation did nothing. The game was called Unturned and it became one of the most popular free-to-play games on Steam! I have great memories of playing these games because my PC was too 💩 to run ArmA II. In fact, I obtained a copy of the original Deadzone (at that point Deadzone clones were their own subgenre on Roblox) and decided to make my own map for it, add new weapons, etc. This led me to meet somebody else who was also doing the exact same thing and we really hit it off. 11 years later, we’ve all largely kept in-touch (first Skype, then Discord) into adulthood. The guy I mentioned used what he learned from making Deadzone clones to become a game dev and is able to financially support his elderly parents and put his younger sister through university. All because of DayZ.
Fantastic video bringing up the history and influence of DayZ Mod !! I still remember playing ApocZ on the Xbox 360 since my laptop couldn't handle DayZ mod. Had to subscribe after watching this !
dude, u just hit me with the biggest wave of nostalgie! i remember watching Frankie's Dayz series countless times, and you bringing up ApocZ was such a blast from the past! Great video!
Thanks for the video, it brings me back a lot of nostalgia and good memories. I have met my best friend in DayZ Mod with the famous phrase *Anyone in Cherno ?* One of my friend I have met this way sadly passed away last year. I grew up with him, 16 year old bros playing DayZ Mod, H1z1, Arma 3, PUBG, good old times where we had no responsabilities and just enjoying life. I can’t thank enough thoses games that made all these amazing memories possible and have an important place in my heart ❤️
As a long time DayZ vet it is beautiful to see someone who actually see someone who puts out a video actually covering accurate information on dayz history
1:55 This so relatable for me now lol, i can't play this game because i dont have a pc yet,and am just keep watching it on yt because i rlly fell inlove on this game,and thats because of the amazing people making wholesome content out of it like you bro💖🔥
This shit brings me to tears man, I grew up through all this, made friends I still talk to all the way back from the 2012 dayz era, the survival genre might have been oversaturated and beat down to the ground by now but it has a special place in my heart, I had a similar story to the creator of the vid, there was something magical about watching frankie's vids and eventually finally getting to immerse myself in dayz on a shitty laptop that barely ran the game, I didn't care because there was nothing else like it at the time
My first experience playing DayZ SA was on office laptop with downloaded ultralow configs with like 50 meters render distance, i was looking down to the road, and even then i had around 15 fps with stutters. Fan was weeping as vacuum cleaner, and you could probably cook an egg on the keyboard))) Still remember, how i tried to loot something, and eventually was killed somewhere in Solnechnyi... It was February 2014, and i was happy as hell. It motivated me start begging my parents to buy me proper PC)))
I also kind of agree with that. Half Life pushed the FPS genre to extreme heights and it birthed in my opinion the greatest FPS ever made, which is CS. But I think DayZ pushed PC gaming to an extreme level. In my opinion, it was thee game that inspired millions of people to finally make the jump to PC, and it was also the game that really kickstarted long form gameplay content that inspired millions of people to start RUclips. And lastly, DayZ went onto to birth new games and genres like Rust and the Battle royale mode. DayZ did so much for the PC industry.
Love this video! I was so interested in the mod, I watched for years. the first game I dowloaded on my first pc was DayZ standalone the year it came out. DayZ holds a special place in my heart. there is a certain feeling you get playing DayZ... it's nostalgic, and one of my favorites. I'm still excited for its future just like I was back in the day
Rust will never be dayz it actually kinda pisses me off how many people think rust is better than dayz but if dayz never existed then rust would never exist
@@snzr you literally said in the video that there were zombies when it first came out it’s always been a dayz remake NOW it’s just an easier version of dayz it’s very much alike except mostly everything in the game is craftable and there’s no zombies now 😂 it’s an easier version of dayz hell it’s the baby version OF dayz fr
@@gman057 I was specifically talking about the current versions of both games... Yes they have similar mechanics. Base building, PVP etc. But gameplay wise they are very different. DayZ is a serious hardcore survival game where your characters life matters, whereas Rust is a more casual less serious experience that is not as punishing. Would you agree that the current versions of the games offer different experiences?
I remember watching frankie when I was younger and he would always find the craziest gear like a gauss rifle in a tower and ive always been amazed by dayz vanilla or not😭
I grew up watching FrankieonPC and even playing DayZ Mod and also othergames like Gerry’s mod Call of duty modern warfare 2 cod2 zombies, cs 1.6 codwaw zomvies, i remember watching levelcap bf3 other old school Gerrys mod youtube name Zuther13 so much memories i feel like watching frankieonPC was like a series from walking dead but from armas version.
I have the best gaming memories from dayz and its best game ever made in my opinion. There was so many bugs and problems, but we still managed to have so much. I also love that bohemia is open for modders, I think if they didnt allow people to mod the game it would have been dead long time ago.
I didn't play much of the original ISS, but watching streamers like Summit and Dakotaz play it was a lot of fun. Yeah the game was janky and goofy and we cannot deny it had a shady background, but the PVP experience really made up for it and I think that's why it had the cult following. I did play quite a lot of the emulated version called The NewZ, which I know is way inferior to the original, but I can't lie, the game was really fun. I personally find Caliwood and it's exaggerated wind very nostalgic and the games skill gap with snipers was a lot of fun. The VSS was no joke in ISS 😆
@@snzr newz was garbage. When i bought warz it was called ISS. But it was for sale for $3 on steam. I bought it just to see how bad it was. The fps was good. The online hitreg was good.. The servers never needed restart.. They didnt need to download mods.. I was walking around collecting guns/rifles putting them into a safebox that actually kept my stuff safe. And i got it for free because i gave someone a sniper rifle in a trade server (then sergey later made it so you could buy ALL cash shop things with zombie dropped cash) That allowed me to purchase and play as all like 8 different player models. When i played the pistols were very accurate and i could headshot like 40 zombies in just a few seconds. It was amazing. There was nothing wrong with it. In fact there were no hackers for about 1 whole entire year after they implemented punkbuster. Then sergey titov opened up SEA servers which are expensive as fk.. All while the game had no sub fee and only cost $3 for me. They shot themselves in the foot by calling it warz tho. I too assumed it was a dayz ripoff. But nowadays i think dayz would have to keep its head down if it was standing inside the same room as warz. Dayz did nothing compared to warz.
Bro fact, back in 2014 my laptop barely get 30fps on DayZ Mod or Standalone and I'm still having fun, also I was in middle school back then, I saved up my meal money for 3 months to buy my first steam game that is DayZ
Dude, love this. Love letter to dayz and you summarized all of my thoughts about this game. I was, and still am, an xbox player. Had no idea this game existed until 2017. The first video i ever watched was an illegally uploaded summit1g stream on youtube, and i was fucking hooked just from that. I couldnt believe that there was a game that ticked every single one of my boxes. Ive been playing dayz since the first day it dropped early access on xbox in august 2018, and i hope to play it for the rest of my life.
arma 3 still ona my favorite games just wish it wasnt so buggy i couldnt get into DayZ tho eventually ill buy it and try i just dont like playing games where you lose everything cus it makes me angry n i never rage good video keep up the good work
Don't forget about extraction shooters as well! ☝️🤓 Tarkov's logo is literally straight reference to DayZ logo. When Tarkov was in early stages of development, before it became popular in the West, it was treated by russian gamers as "session based DayZ". DayZ Mod (as well as Origins, Namalsk and Epoch) was very popular in ex-Soviet countries back in day! I remember watching Frankie as kid... I understood almost nothing what he was saying (didn't know English properly at the time), but the way he was presenting those stories was so good, that i still pretty much understood what was going on) He's videos are really motivated me to learn english, and i really thankful him for that! Great memories... ❤
I believe SovietWomble made a very indepth 3 part series breaking down everything about the IP. From its troubles, every mod available and the evolution as a whole. I wanted to make a more compact video explaining what DayZ did for game development and how it affected the younger audience from that era to make the jump to PC gaming. Thank you for watching man 🙏
NGL the end made DayZ look more a curse than a blessing ... cashgrab battleroyals that only secure shitty games with cut stories for a BR mode and a dozend more examples how it turned games for the worse ...
never forget the time.. i played cracked arma with tunngel on a laptop without Graphic card.. so 30fps 200 ping i kill 3 guys with -11k blood with the crowbar
I've personally not played Scum and I wanted to focus on the more mainstream games that I have played. Scum is definitely up there in terms of great games that came from DayZ's success!
What’s funny is TheRunningManZ is famous because people mistook him for FrankieOnPC1080p. To this day TRMZ continues to have a career based off this mistake. Viewer joins TRMZ Noticed he sounds like Frankie They ask if he’s him He laughs says no Viewers stays
Partly true. However I have to kind of disagree. Yes there is an argument to be made that DayZ would not exist if it wasn't for Arma 2. But no one really cared for Arma 2 until DayZ came out. DayZ itself pushed the Arma franchise to insane levels I'm sure the original dev team were not expecting. Yes DayZ ran on the Arma 2 engine, but they were completely different games, so I think comparing them isn't fair. In my opinion DayZ mod was it's own game. And if it wasn't for DayZ, all the games that I mentioned in the video probably would not exist. Brendan Green loved Arma 2, but it wasn't Arma 2 that made him want to make his own Battle Royale mode, it was DayZ. Brendan loved DayZ's concept, but he wanted the games PVP to be more streamlined, that's why he made the Battle Royale mode.
@@snzr Yeah, I'd agree actually, looking deeper at the scale of events like that. To be honest though, Bohemia Interactive are the real MVPs here for creating the tools necessary that made all of this possible in the first place!
@@snzrI agree that DayZ actually brought the concepts...but Arma 2 mechanics were key to the success of both DayZ and Frankie and that would have never worked on the Source Engine for example. Why? At that time no game on foot took realism so seriously...ballistics, lethality, distances, penetration, vehicles, big landscapes with weather changes obligating players think of s route, orient themselves, decide how to react... Many things and scenarios that would not be possible with other engines of that time.
i know for sure battle royals come from dayz, first it was pubg who just feels heavily inspired from dayz specially at launch then everyone copied pubg making other battle royals like fortnite
Thanks man, i appreciate that. I was a bit confused with your comment at first so I just said what I was thinking when reading it, I didn’t mean for it to come off as rude
DayZ Was for sure influential, but I'm not sure if I would say the most influential game ever. And I wanted to add that it's weird you didn't mention Standalone for the most part, and especially modern Standalone like at all. You don't have to like it, maybe you're that type of DayZ player which only played Mod and liked only it, but it's just weird to leave it out fully in a video about... Well... History of DayZ, and it's influence especially since it grew quite a lot. It's one of the most popular games on steam, daily.
This wasn't a DayZ history video though, more of a short story on what the game did for RUclips and the industry. The video focused on the influence that the DayZ mod had on gaming and on gamers. All the games I mentioned in the video stemmed from that one mod. I have played both versions of DayZ extensively and the current version of DayZ is probably the best version we have ever had, but obviously my nostalgia for the mod influenced me to make this video 😄. And to be honest, I rarely play DayZ now, but I really appreciated my time with it and what it did for RUclips and the gaming industry.
Im aware his videos were staged, but they never used to be. I’m not sure when it started, but his earlier videos were legit gameplay. His staged content was OK, I much preferred the more legit style. Nonetheless I don’t think it matters. His videos were still a big deal for the early days of DayZ and it showed millions of people the game, and possibly influenced millions of people to play the game or get into PC gaming. I know this because me and many of my friends did this because of him.
nice vid
Thanks man! That means a lot coming from you...
grew up to Frankie's DayZ series, i miss that man. Hope he pulls through whatever is troubling him right now
I hope he’s ok too 😢
what actually happened to him? i grew up on his stuff too
@@MasoMate I'm not 100% sure, but I believe he has been having a lot of personal conflict with himself and content creation.
@@snzr I remember the cheating accusations but that’s about it
@@MasoMate yeah I remember that too. Crazy times
Don’t forget MineZ and Minecraft hunger games. DayZ influenced public Minecraft servers so much
I didn’t think of that, well spotted
The drip was fire back then holy shit 😭 they need to bring back all the old clothing nd backpacks
Great video
Cheers bro, I really appreciate that!

Didn't really realize at the time the influence that Arma ll Dayz Mod had in the gaming industry. I started playing Dayz Mod right when FrankieonPC posted the second chapter of his series.

I met one of my best friends on the side of the road outside svet 10 years ago in this game
Yeah DayZ did that for people. It was the game that made me and my best mate want to get PCs 😀
I have also made a friend in svet. I'm also convinced DayZ has made more people graduate from console to PC than any other game

Who remembers JackFrags song "This is dayz".... that one and Frankies videos got me into it.
Frankie is the reason I found DayZ and Frankie is the reason I play after almost 10 years
Fuckin great video mate. It's sad to see so many people I know hating on DayZ when literally all they play is Tarkov or Warzone.

But nowadays i think dayz would have to keep its head down if it was standing inside the same room as warz. Dayz did nothing compared to warz.
Bro fact, back in 2014 my laptop barely get 30fps on DayZ Mod or Standalone and I'm still having fun, also I was in middle school back then, I saved up my meal money for 3 months to buy my first steam game that is DayZ
I swear the days where are PCs struggled to run the game were the most fun 😂
Dude, love this. Love letter to dayz and you summarized all of my thoughts about this game. I was, and still am, an xbox player. Had no idea this game existed until 2017. The first video i ever watched was an illegally uploaded summit1g stream on youtube, and i was fucking hooked just from that. I couldnt believe that there was a game that ticked every single one of my boxes. Ive been playing dayz since the first day it dropped early access on xbox in august 2018, and i hope to play it for the rest of my life.
Watching Summit play DayZ back in the day was hilarious 🤣
Fantastic thumbnail
Thank you

Crimminaly underrated video and channel
Cheers bro
Great video!
arma 3 still ona my favorite games just wish it wasnt so buggy i couldnt get into DayZ tho eventually ill buy it and try i just dont like playing games where you lose everything cus it makes me angry n i never rage good video keep up the good work
Thank you man, I hope you enjoy the game once you get around to playing it 👍
Fuck me I just can't live without Frankie
He’s back, and let’s hope it stays that way 🤞
Don't forget about extraction shooters as well! ☝️🤓 Tarkov's logo is literally straight reference to DayZ logo.
When Tarkov was in early stages of development, before it became popular in the West, it was treated by russian gamers as "session based DayZ".
DayZ Mod (as well as Origins, Namalsk and Epoch) was very popular in ex-Soviet countries back in day!
I remember watching Frankie as kid... I understood almost nothing what he was saying (didn't know English properly at the time), but the way he was presenting those stories was so good, that i still pretty much understood what was going on) He's videos are really motivated me to learn english, and i really thankful him for that! Great memories... ❤
Definitely agree, though I feel like I watched a video just like this a year or two ago
I believe SovietWomble made a very indepth 3 part series breaking down everything about the IP. From its troubles, every mod available and the evolution as a whole. I wanted to make a more compact video explaining what DayZ did for game development and how it affected the younger audience from that era to make the jump to PC gaming. Thank you for watching man 🙏
What a beautiful video!!!! Ohhh man what a journey it has been !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s been a crazy journey, thank you for watching man
And thank you Bohemia Interactive.
Amazing video, i was there also but im more your brothers age
Those were great times aye?
Really well made video keep it up
Glad you liked it
The mod came out on my 3rd birthday on the goddamned dot
NGL the end made DayZ look more a curse than a blessing ... cashgrab battleroyals that only secure shitty games with cut stories for a BR mode and a dozend more examples how it turned games for the worse ...
Yeah I kinda got sick of the Battle Royale games coming out left and right, but thankfully it has calmed down a little bit😬
I just got into dayz and it takes so long to make ONE SEGMENT of a fence 😭
It do be like that 😭
never forget the time.. i played cracked arma with tunngel on a laptop without Graphic card.. so 30fps 200 ping i kill 3 guys with -11k blood with the crowbar
😂
0:50 holy fuck
I started playing because of Frankie, and now he barely plays anymore.
Yeah it’s a shame 🥺
Epoch was the best version.
I've made this point to people before, but I also tend to drag it back to arma mot necessarily just dayz
Great vid bro
Thank you man!
It was actually terrifying.
Great video🎉
Thank you 😁
Love Franky and MrMoon
This game is the cure to my imsomnia lol
😂
Scum is a amazing game you forgot to mention it
I've personally not played Scum and I wanted to focus on the more mainstream games that I have played. Scum is definitely up there in terms of great games that came from DayZ's success!
miss playin the mod so much
@@RuzzyID yeah it was great fun 🥹
What’s funny is TheRunningManZ is famous because people mistook him for FrankieOnPC1080p. To this day TRMZ continues to have a career based off this mistake.
Viewer joins TRMZ
Noticed he sounds like Frankie
They ask if he’s him
He laughs says no
Viewers stays
I didn’t know that 😂
That’s true people should be more grateful.
love the far cry
5 banger
@@Wreckrhymes you’re the first to spot it bro 😎 super underrated OST!
Fire video bro
Thanks bro 🙏
I'm sorry but I think this title belongs to the ARMA series. Afterall, Day-Z was an ARMA 2 mod, so was PUB-G.
Partly true. However I have to kind of disagree. Yes there is an argument to be made that DayZ would not exist if it wasn't for Arma 2. But no one really cared for Arma 2 until DayZ came out. DayZ itself pushed the Arma franchise to insane levels I'm sure the original dev team were not expecting. Yes DayZ ran on the Arma 2 engine, but they were completely different games, so I think comparing them isn't fair. In my opinion DayZ mod was it's own game. And if it wasn't for DayZ, all the games that I mentioned in the video probably would not exist. Brendan Green loved Arma 2, but it wasn't Arma 2 that made him want to make his own Battle Royale mode, it was DayZ. Brendan loved DayZ's concept, but he wanted the games PVP to be more streamlined, that's why he made the Battle Royale mode.
@@snzr Yeah, I'd agree actually, looking deeper at the scale of events like that. To be honest though, Bohemia Interactive are the real MVPs here for creating the tools necessary that made all of this possible in the first place!
@@snzrI agree that DayZ actually brought the concepts...but Arma 2 mechanics were key to the success of both DayZ and Frankie and that would have never worked on the Source Engine for example.
Why? At that time no game on foot took realism so seriously...ballistics, lethality, distances, penetration, vehicles, big landscapes with weather changes obligating players think of s route, orient themselves, decide how to react... Many things and scenarios that would not be possible with other engines of that time.
i know for sure battle royals come from dayz, first it was pubg who just feels heavily inspired from dayz specially at launch then everyone copied pubg making other battle royals like fortnite
Some would argue that it came from Minecraft, but the overall style and gameplay always originates back to Brendan Greene’s DayZ mod 😀
APOCZ MENTIONED😂❤
😆
Thought i'd see unturned referenced in here :(
I cut it out because I felt like I mentioned enough derivatives already, sorry bro 😭
Yeah, man, it’s a badass game
Brandon Playerunknown made the FIRST battle royale in dayz mod and it is one of Frankies videos.
You can see playerunknown in the chat in the video
I’m aware it was in DayZ mod, I covered it in the video 🤔
@snzr oh sorry then I wasn't paying attention. I do appreciate the video and subbed.
Thanks man, i appreciate that. I was a bit confused with your comment at first so I just said what I was thinking when reading it, I didn’t mean for it to come off as rude
DayZ Was for sure influential, but I'm not sure if I would say the most influential game ever. And I wanted to add that it's weird you didn't mention Standalone for the most part, and especially modern Standalone like at all. You don't have to like it, maybe you're that type of DayZ player which only played Mod and liked only it, but it's just weird to leave it out fully in a video about... Well... History of DayZ, and it's influence especially since it grew quite a lot. It's one of the most popular games on steam, daily.
This wasn't a DayZ history video though, more of a short story on what the game did for RUclips and the industry. The video focused on the influence that the DayZ mod had on gaming and on gamers. All the games I mentioned in the video stemmed from that one mod. I have played both versions of DayZ extensively and the current version of DayZ is probably the best version we have ever had, but obviously my nostalgia for the mod influenced me to make this video 😄. And to be honest, I rarely play DayZ now, but I really appreciated my time with it and what it did for RUclips and the gaming industry.
Thats CrayZ

Fire way 2 end it 10/10
Thanks man, I was happy how I ended it 🥹
great video! dayz 4 life
All true!
Shout out h1z1
What about Garry's mod and Half life 2 doe.
Both very influential in their own way, but DayZ didn’t just influence a genre 😀
We love DayZ ☺️ PUBG 😅 and H1Z1 🥰
W vid
Love frankie obviously but you know his videos were staged right? Still the best update nonetheless
Im aware his videos were staged, but they never used to be. I’m not sure when it started, but his earlier videos were legit gameplay. His staged content was OK, I much preferred the more legit style. Nonetheless I don’t think it matters. His videos were still a big deal for the early days of DayZ and it showed millions of people the game, and possibly influenced millions of people to play the game or get into PC gaming. I know this because me and many of my friends did this because of him.
@snzr absolutely, will forever remain THE legend, sadly he's not fully back and wonder if he ever will
@@snzr speaking of which he just uploaded 😂
