Undead Labs' hugely ambitious open-world zombie survival game State of Decay is due this Wednesday, 5th June on XBLA. A PC version is also in the works, but no release date for that has been announced. When asked if Undead Labs had any estimate as to when it would come out, the developer responded "none." Oh well. State of Decay was initially called Class 3, a prelude to the Seattle-based studio's zombie MMO, Class 4. The idea was to test several of its diverse mechanics before setting up the MMO, which is still the plan. While State of Decay is Undead Labs' debut title, the studio was formed by World of Warcraft lead programmer Jeff Strain, who also co-founded Guild Wars developer ArenaNet. Game looks great for an XBLA game with some interesting ideas and concepts, this will be the best post apocalyptic Zombie survival game released this month. Reviews in 8.9 IGN 8.0 OXM

I will look for it on sale this holiday season. It's my rule for all DD titles, hopefully it's good as the metascore has nada so far.

EDIT FROM FUTURE: It's an A at metacritic right now with a 78/100 and 10 reviews.

This doesn't belong in System Wars. drakekratos

"System Wars is a one of a kind destination where gamers can discuss, rant, and debate about systems, platforms, handhelds and the games."

Wat.

Anyway, this doesn't look like its worth 1600 points. It doesn't even have online.

On the fence. I like the idea of it, but there are supposedly technical issues and the lack of coop is pretty disappointing. 

I'll most likely wait for a sale on it.

Looks more fun than Last of Us in my opinion. Last of Us consists of slowly walking around while listening to Ellen Paige dialogue and picking up items.

Looks great. I'll most likely get this but I'm not in a hurry since COH2 and TLOU will have my attention this month.

I wonder why this is a XBLA release and not a full priced one. Game looks like it could be sold at full price but perhaps it lacks in content or polish.

It has quite a bit of screen tearing and frame rate drops unfortunately.

this article from 2011 says it is a ms studios game designed for xbla.

pretty interesting that the guy behind this game was the lead programmer for  world of warcraft and creator of arenanet.

Yeah someone from OXM did an article for survival tips and said it was glitchy and rough round the edges, but still very enjoyable.

plus, in the video game world we see that 100% of games run like ass during launch week but we only pick on one or two per year for it.

because umm.... something.... we hate ea or whatever.

Yeah I saw the lack of polish in the IGN video from a couple of days ago. Nothing that can't be fixed.

I'll give it a read. Dunno, but for some reason I always thought this would be a full priced release. As others have said, it lacks polish but when a game has got a great concept like this, i'm willing to look past that. Same with the DayZ mod which lacked polish but it got a lot of popularity because people could look past that and look at what it could become.
