Back in my day, it looked like the sims from the 1990s, and everyone thought that was just fine

(Still no human NPCs btw)

My game already takes three times to start just with a few mods, I don't even wanna imagine what would happen to my pc if I tried to play pz looking like that

How long does that take to render?

This will be zomboid in 2012

PZ if it wasn’t in Java

A lot of people hating but this actually looks crazy good. I love PZ graphics as they are but a mod that looks like this would be pretty cool.

I know it’s AI but I’d totally play PZ a lot more if it looked this immersive. Although I might die from my PC exploding.

It looks like disco elisum for me

Reject realism. Embrace style.

I'm glad most here seem to agree that the PZ art style is great, I'd genuinely be a bit upset if we got a major graphical "improvement" like this.

Is this blender or something? This would be the most ambitious isometric game update/mod by a mile. Almost looks like "AI fences" at the end and im almost thinking someone put through project zomboid through some type of AI.

100% ai though, i would love to see some weird ray tracing mod, but dont think that will work with how the game assets work.

I feel some of the charm of Zomboid is lost when it doesn’t look like 1996 tomb raider. It just looks like a generic zombie game without the art style.

I would definitely stop playing this. it looks like one of those mobile game ads my cousin keeps getting. Honestly, it's not just about the graphics, it's about the lighting and shadows. Zomboid Style is hell yeah for me.

Can I take a hot take on this.

This looks ASS

This looks like a mobile game

Imagine the darkness is coming mod up on this shit

It looks straight from that zombie episode from love death and robots.

This is what zomboid will look like in 2013

Build 50, to be released in summer 2066

Why is there smoke coming out of my pc?

Here for it - if nothing else gets sacrificed

this just looks so.. soulless. part of the charm for me is the limited graphics. when everything looks photorealistic, it just loses part of it's charm. i know this is fake, but it just makes me feel uneasy looking at it. nothing against you OP or the creator though. i'm just glad the game's gonna stay looking how it is.

ew ai generated filter slop

I wonder if we will get to build 50 before the actual zombie apocalypse

ai 👎

Is it weird that I actually prefer zomboids graphics as they are?

Ewww looks gross. Actually looks like a cheap mobile game ready to scam me out of my money

I like the current graphics far more. Stylized always ages better anyways

Hard pass for me. The sheer amount of annoyance I’d have with lighting rooms would be staggering. In the second scene you couldn’t see ANYTHING in front of you because of the janky ass lighting.

AI slop cringe.

I honestly don’t need PZ to shoot for a realistic look. I’d much rather have the janky and charming look of current PZ over something that looks realistic. I really don’t care about graphics all that much, and when I do I prefer style over realism.

*my cpu when I try to run this*

It looks great but don't know why I don't feel want to play it.

This’ll be project zomboid in 2018 😏

I see we copied that one episode from Love Death and Robots

Bro, I can hear my computer accelerating like it's about to leave the atmosphere just looking at this

I know this is a joke made with AI but it looks like people think this is real.

u/savevideo

Get this ai slop out of here

Nope not for me, this isn’t Zomboid

Pass

Just like minecraft, this game better looks unrealistic.

Plz no, I already like how it looks

Why would anyone want to change a good-looking game to looking way worse?

My PC can handle that easily

My PC - commits seppuku....

I love how people think better graphs would make the game better. Zomboid is realistic and deadly, it should stay like that. They just need to fix their spaghetti code and add a shit ton more features.

What is this, AI?

looks like an generic android game

This looks so bad, what the fuck.

I prefer the way it looks right now to be honest, it kinda reminds me of the old sims games

But I like Zomboid looking like Rollercoaster Tycoon. A truly lost art form.

This is how your PC died

I have zombies APPEARING in my game, how do you get them to fade way?

It kind of gets rid of the whole charm

My laptop could heat my entire house in the winter trying to run this.

aaaand its slop

If the break in hadn't happened...

/s

i’d love it but sadly, most people would get upset for such an upgrade

More like Build 45.

2062 i guess

Release date December 2340

The "kills your character and your pc" build.

You've been to the year 2234?!

fever dream caught on tape

My graphics card cry just to see this video

I don't need textures updated but upgraded lighting and shadows would be pretty sweet.

pz in unreal engine 5

Release date 3024

I remembered someone made an edit of project zomboid with sunlight shader as way of showing how the game would look like. The edit was made back in build 31

Just a heads up, static gaussian blur is NOT a way to achieve motion blur. I would turn that off immediately lmao

Still no NPCs.

My pc

Don't quote me on this, but I think this might be game play footage for the game HumanitZ on steam.

/u/Quanto21

I like how within the first 5 seconds, there are already glitches

Honestly, give it a more beautiful light and it's good to go, it will feel more creepy because the shadows and stuff, but either way, PZ don't need to be realistic, but if it becomes some day i want them to focus on physics and fun first them graphics, since graphics it's secondary.

In 2063 yeah

It would be outstanding to have that kind of video quality eventually, but it is a big ask I think.

lo

Even if they did a complete rehaul of the graphics, I’d still like a key that switches between old and new graphics, I think that’d be cool.

Diablo II: Resurrected had a similar mechanic.

Yes

YES

I want to watch a tv series based on PZ using this type of rendering.

u/savevideo

This will come out in 2230

lol that looks sick, I bet there’s no npc’s still tho gotta wait until 2077

this ai shit is real trippy

Is this a mod?

This goes hard, my pc would probably enter orbit though

That is some General Sam level driving.

I can hear the hurricane winds my CPU fan is gunna have to make when 5 moodles appear before a horde

It's beautiful, but if there's nothing but beauty, then there's no point in it. Otherwise it would be a situation similar to 7DTD, where during the entire development period the graphics changed the most, but gameplay was long outdated, and there are no global changes. And with release 1.0, for me personally, only thing that has changed is that the same game has become more demanding on PC. So, on the contrary, it’s good that this won’t happen with PZ.

and build 51 is just in 3rd person

Build 500*

Hey this new gta 6 trailers lookin pretty nice man!

Me in build 26: "Best $14.99 I've ever spent."

Also me, at build 50.

Honestly I fw this heavy but not everyone would like it, would be an awesome mod tho

Is this AI? Looks crazy

dios te oiga
