Was expecting an edit where you shake the camera, start to fall backwards, fades to black and the words "you are dead" appear across the screen. That would be hilarious.😂
@@IckNullen thank you for the excursion you've made. This is truly amazing and is now on my bucket list. I have 74 days played in dayz and the nostalgia I feel when watching this video is indescribable.
I have over 4500 hours in Arma 3 and I also have some very fond memories of battles and people that I meet and played with, and you're right there are very few other games that I have memories like that from..... except DCS world I can remember air battles I had... I played a lot of the Dayz Mod, but I only have 500 hours in DayZ stand alone. Thanks for the video.... I would like to see Stary Yar I love that place... its not very big, but it is cool.
This must be a surreal feeling, spending hundreds to thousands of hours in game to then being able to follow the same roads in real life and genuinely know where you’re going.
@@thesavageknight6242 exactly, I’ve always appreciated the devs of DayZ as it’s always been a small passionate team, but this can only make me appreciate them more to realise the insane amount of detail they put into making it feel real.
@@XILPIXThe development team were the ones that built the ArmA 2 engine/game. Day-Z came as a result of this through a mod. This is probably why it's somewhat realistic. Nothing to do with Day-Z.
@@SeniorBillzyOf course. The map that was designed by the devs for the game based around real life areas. Not the mod.. The other stuff you mentioned was added through the mod, lol.
On the old DayZ Mod for Arma II that big hill you are seeing used to be called "Sniper Hill" and that's where the hackers would lay under a pine tree killing everything that moved :D
@@topoppx DayZ mod was seriously fun. Somehow the movement and gunplay felt smoother in mod too. Also the progression felt simpler and better. It was so much fun exploring high risk loot and heli crashes for rare guns. It had a way bigger arsenal of weapons too.
@@civicboi96 the legacy gunplay mechanics were a masterpiece, considerably better than what we have in game today. Its such a shame they dumped what was the soul of Dayz. Its what original Dayz was built around.
Seriously thought any second there would be gun shots and you would get 1 tapped 🤣. Excellent video Bro. I wish everybody that plays DayZ would watch it. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely green mountain with the cell phone tower. Back in 2014-16 that used to be the only safe zone on servers. Used to meet like 15 people then leave out as a group. Good ol dayz
the real life green mountain doesn't have a tower on it though, although it is very accurately placed. u can look up "Green mountain czechia" and it'll show you on google maps, it's identical in every way except for the tower. they took a lot of liberties with the map
The idea of being nostalgic for a place you've never been to in real life has been very interesting to me since some games base their maps off of real life locations. Humans could've NEVER experienced that before- ever.
Yeah i hate people who complains about random shit, most people wouldnt take a bullet to the head and spawn back at a beach... so just remove respawns and make it one life instead.
You're awesome for years I've been waiting for someone to do this and show us the real areas of the game. I'm disabled so I'll never get overseas over there to see this but you made it possible for me and I'm a hardcore Day Z fan. My grandparents come from Prague. Thank you.
Never played DayZ myself but I am from the area (was born in "Elektrozavodsk"). Is there something in particular you’d like to see or know about? If you can provide links to in game locations, I can easiely provide pics from the towns.
@@tomasstanek2982 Imean yes that would be cool to see Kameka or some of the military bases. Thats is very cool to be from here. It nice to know its real area. Being from America we are lied to about everything so you nver really know. Thank you
I just started playing DayZ again, ive been on and off since I saw the original FrankieonPC series while it was coming out. It's crazy seeing this recommended to me because it's like I'm living the game through you. It's a little crazy to see how empty everything feels, then you get the random car or person, similar to DayZ
I was travelling across Europe in 2015 and passed through Cherno. It felt emotional. Having spent years back then in the mod knocking about Cherno either being a bandit up triple yellow or when I was rolling with a group calling ourselves “the angels of Cherno” sniping bandits from the top of the hotel and protecting fresh spawns from zombies. The memories felt real. It felt like I’d been there. It looked different, but it felt like home. I just wish I’d made it up to Zelenogorsk and Sosnovka to see where we spent years living out of an old barn surrounded by shipping containers.
Love this bro, I live in this place. Sadly the developers decided to put Grubyeskaly on the map instead of my neighborhood :D The cities dont look like irl but most of the roads and hills do Edit Novodmitrovsk (Děčín - Bynov) and Severograd (Jílové u Děčína) are kinda realistic :) The tower in 4:00 is Zelena Hora - Buková Hora irl (trader is there on PvE servers), but its on the other side of the river so it wouldnt normally be in the game so they put the tower in different place
well some of the younger ones do know about DayZ, but its not like everybody in the city is talking about that we are in the video game :D most of them are surprised. i think not many ppl know but im telling everybody to play this game :D
@@liborkricek Thank you for your reply. I think it is a real compliment to be recreated in such depth. Congratulations on living in a beautiful place. Thanks again.
@@chuckyaegar7691thank you, youre right, since i was a little boy i always dreamt of a game with map from my city, then years later i found DayZ 😁 And im so glad that czech games give attention to detail and realism (kingdom come deliverance also has a czech map), then we have the Mafia 😁
Nice to see foreigners actually come to say real life dayz area. I am from CZ. I actually thought of making some sort of LARP cosplay kinda thing if there were enough ppl interested...
I traveled through here a couple of years ago. I fully agree with you that it was truly a surreal experience. Part of me was tempted to announce myself as "Friendly" when I came across people. It was fun to relive that experience through your video. Thank you for posting this.
This was actually such a super cool experience to get over RU-vid recommendations, I haven't played this game in years, amazing. Thank you for this, liked and subbed.
Do you have advice about where you stayed at night etc? (Hotels? Or with car/tent?) Me and my friends just seen your video’s today, and we immediately decided to go on a road trip ASAP! Thank you!
I expected DMR shots from that hill to the right of Elektro all the time. And a helicopter, trying to pick up their friend and then crashing into a building because the pilot can't fly. Server must be pretty empty nowadays... oh the memories. Great video!
I havent played alot of dayz maybe some 30hrs, but somehow that looks hauntingly familiar, i mean, like i know the dam, and the pond next to it, the hunting cabs u talked about. Something truely rememberable about DayZ was this wibe, like on how does it feel getting blasted by simply night dropping for you, you dont know where is where, you're fleeing from zomboe packs, stepping into beartraps and crawling to safety only to be soon deceaced by a unknown virus thingy, that you had no idea you have it, how to fix it or how to even spot it. PRICELESS. might get back on it soon. Thanks for a lovely video. Supprisingly good quality with those goPros these days. I like it
Hello, everyone, thanks Ick! I've never been to Britain, but I'm very surprised by what the area looks like, and I'm actually convinced that the similarity is very high! Although, for DayZ, this similarity in the game is higher for Russia. In particular, for the Urals. Because the cars are the same as in the game - I can now see them from the kitchen window, because I live on the fourth floor of a five-story residential building. 3:21 pause in viewing (drinking tea)😊 In general, this is why I like not only to play, but also to watch other players on video (at the same time studying their playing style). Some points are very useful for mastering techniques and methods. In general, for the first time in DayZ I was invited to play with him by a previously unknown person of my age (and I turned 60 on January 12, 2024). So here it is. Suddenly I was invited to play with him by a previously unknown American, Archie Castelloe, Galveston, Texas, and it was all about eight years ago. As a result, I bought the proprietary version of DayZ Standalone. This is because for me, as a tourist, it was a game, and is still an imitation of our central Russia, in particular the Urals. Where in real life (back in the days of the USSR) I lived in a tent, and cooked over a fire, and fished, and lived in a village hut with my grandparents, and drove VAZ (ВАЗ Нива по-русски), Zhiguli (Жигули ВАЗ-24) cars, and Ikarus buses, and I planted potatoes in the village garden and so on.

Love this lol. I live in the US and I often send my DayZ buddy who lives in Australia video of me commuting because there's so many locations near me that resemble in game locations.
Love these videos man. So cool to do. Thanks for bringing us along. Love these videos man. So cool to do. Thanks for bringing us along. Also @03:53 looks like the needle from Namalsk. And @15:48 If Im not mistaken about which map, I think that pool looks an awful lot like the pool resort on Lux (I think??).
😮 The fact that someone did this is amazing! I haven't played enough to know the map like this, but bravo!! Living life to the fullest! Great real life adventure!
something most dont know but thanks to you for walking it with your front and rear facing cameras,now we can all walk it in 3d streetview in google earth. if people knew their cameras are constantly seeing no matter what your device says,people would be upset. but as beurocrats,the system is most important
Who knows how many prone sniper ghillies you passed walking all that way.. My first experience with DayZ was on the Arma 2 Mod before the huge wave of hype the game got, then a few months later I decided to watch a certain video called Sniper Killer all those years ago.. Such a damn cool video bro, thanks for sharing.
Must say, I started playing again recently with my buddy who never played, its been nice. But the part where you were on the dam bridge was awesome, last night I literally logged out at the shack north east corner of the lake north of the dam. So cool.
i have around 3k hours on Chernarus. kinda quit playing when all the new maps started coming out so only really know the OG. thanks for the video and memories!
These videos are blowing my mind! Someone should set up an orienteering event in some of these locations. Start them off with a bandage, and plum, a compass and a map - stashing some tins of food in loot chests (a few with no labels).
Wonder how many in that area that are completely oblivious to the fact that their house and surroundings are one of the most popular locations on the internet.
I’ve been playing dayz since 2009/2010 and it was the only game I ever played I still play it sometimes but I literally memorized the whole map I probably know more about these towns than my own home town which probably isn’t a good thing but dayz is a great game and I will always remember all the fun times. God bless and remember never surrender
I've been living in Czech republic for the past 8 years and I have 3k hours in DayZ. I was just telling my buddy that one of the nothing towns reminds me of my wives town. Hope you had some good beer and meet some nice ladies on your trip here. Czech republic is a beautiful place
21:50 the "beer" that's in dayz isnt beer. It's Kvass, Russian soda basically made with bread crumbs, water, and sugar. It's really good I grew up drinking it all the time lol.
bohemia interactive do an amazing job at recreating real life places. they aren't just mechanical military simulator developers, but are real world visual simulators too. you should check out the arma 3 map "altis" and get its irl version called "lemnos" side by side to compare with gmaps or something. every road, dirt track, mainstream building, even treelines, are spot on replicas. truly underrated devs BI are.
Imagine living there and wondering why there are some tourist walking aorund the town walking in the most random path in the middle of the forest. Taking pictures of traffic signs, crossroads and hills.
Fantastic dude. I love the way people talk about DayZ experiences like they are real things (I mean, they kinda are). Would you recommend coming out here?
Nice. I am planning my moto bike tour soon to visit lot of dayz actual places. You should put video from dayz to compare and to show how dayz look when you compare with real life situation, :)
