State of Decay (XBLA) - New Zombie Game from Microsoft

http://kotaku.com/5936740/microsoft-releasing-another-zombie-game-though-this-ones-about-teamwork

What is the verdict SW?

zombies ..... why u no make new fresh game developer, why? :(

Kinda reminded me of Undead Nightmare with modern settings... could be good.

Brilliant. I've been hearing about this game for a while, and i'm glad to see a survival tactic, rather than a kill all you can tactic.

Isn't this the game that suppose to be some type of lite version or whatever for a zombie MMO? It coming to PC too.:P

A co-op zombie game?

Oh joy, these are starting to become as oversaturated as FPS. :roll:

meh i was hoping for a 2d shooter

Not really new, it's Class 3. Badosh

It's okay I guess.... Not the kind of stuff I'm interested in anymore.

Oh joy, these are starting to become as oversaturated as FPS. :roll:

it's a single player only game but they might add co-op after launch when the MMO they are also developing is further along.

Looking rough so far but could be good.

Another game making them poor cows jelly, but hey, you can moo moo moo all over Wonderbook.

Didn't the article say it was about teamwork though?:?

By teamwork they mean "rescue other survivors so they will occupy and help run your base" each surivor has it's own set of skills like a mechanic or medical experience so you need to rescue various survivors to get the skills to help your base thrive. You can also assign NPC's to do certain things like defend your base or help you scavenge for supplies and each survivor may have an attribute that will help or hurt that task for example someone with a bad knee might not be able to crouch for long periods of time so that person wouldnt be a good choice to help you if you want to be stealthy when scavenging for supplies. also, when you die that character stays dead and you have to continue the game as one of the other survivors you have rescued. So, the other survivors run your base but also act as your "extra lifes"

The last one they released (Deadlight) had bad voice acting and short SP but great visuals. This one looks fantastic though, is it XBL or retail?TheGuardian03

XBLA and PC

Will get on PC then, they still have time to fix some of the animations and other stuff, hope this one is good.TheGuardian03

They have said this is basically a "test game" to find out what does and doesn't work so they know what will be best to add to the MMO version they are also developing. What you see is more than likely wht your gonna get, but the MMO will probably have better graphics and animations as well as more features.

Everyone seems to be missing the point

ANOTHER LOST EXLCUSIVE.

Oh, and it looks like ass. That is why you don't hype games based off of concepts (admittedly only a few did), but still.

"bu bu but it's a zombie mmo :'("

lems am cry.

actually they announced it was gonna be on PC like a month ago but w/e. Also, IMO Microsoft "losing" an exclusive to PC isn't really "losing" an exclusive when 90% of computers run a Microsoft OS and I bet it will use GFWL.

[QUOTE="senses_fail_06"][QUOTE="navyguy21"] Lost exclusive? Wasnt it always on PC?JayQproductions

Sounds like a good new game for the 360/PC.

And :lol: at the fanboys talking about it being a lost exclusive. Still a feather in the cap of the 360/PC regardless. :D

definite AAA 9.5 or something like that

Could be fun. But MS is a classic business, imo. Beat it till it's dead. Nothing new until that genre or type is proven by someone else. That can still be turned into good, fun games, but come on, MS, roll the dice a little. But when your major competition is doing just that and not turning profit, who am I to judge?cainetao11

I swear, it seems like Sony fans are the only ones who want to keep XBLA games out of the metagame.

Probably because they know they'd lose if they were counted. :P

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"][QUOTE="Heil68"] Indeed and as long as it doesn't count towards the meta game, every faction should be fine with it and not use it for any type of "ownage". Well said. The_Game21x

-XBLA games do not count because only games you can buy at a store matter unless it is on PSN like Journey.

-360,PC games do not count because they can play them on a different system then the 360 even though they still can not play them on the PS3.

-Any sequel does not count such as Halo or Gears because it is just more of the same so just rehash. Games like the next God of War or MLB is giving the fans what they want though.

-Anything older then 6 months for the 360 does not count because everyone already played them all.

-Kinect does not count because any game that has motion controls does not count unless it is for the Move of course.

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"]

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]It is ownage against the PS3. Like it or not it is another game that can not be played on the PS3 and considering it already has the least amount of games of all 4 systems it needs all the games it can get.CanYouDiglt

The hypocrisy around these parts is...simply amazing. :P
