State Of Decay Still Coming To PC, But Not ‘Soon’

Rock, Paper, Shotgun: "State of Decay is finally out on console coffins, and what do you know? It’s apparently pretty good. Naturally, I too want to sink my noxious nub teeth into the permadeath zombie open-world-er, but my PC isn’t an Xbox – no matter how badly Microsoft wants it to be. We were, however, promised our very own decaying slice of slate quite some time ago. It’s always been a matter of when, not if. Unfortunately, that 'when' has turned into something of a moving target, and Undead Labs’ patented crossbow of ultimate release-datingness is having a very hard time pinning it down.

To her credit, Undead community director Sanya Weathers was refreshingly honest about the situation."

MS most likely payed for time exclusively. So if you are a pc gamer and you own a 360. You might as well just go out and buy it. If you don't own an Xbox. Well boycott the game and show the developers to not screw you like this by signing a timed deal.

Adexus3972d ago

They're only a small company, I bet they've only recently started development on it.

My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante3972d ago

If you're a PC gamers that owns a 360 then why buy an inferior version? I think if a PC gamer has a 360 then it would be for exclusives that you can't play on the PC. If this is coming to PC then it's better to wait.

CaptainFaisal3972d ago

Boycott them no man, Undead Labs have worled hard on this game for a couple of years so they deserve all the money they get. How ever i do agree that microsoft might have paid the company money for them to get it early, proof is how buggy the game is. Lol the games release date was announced a week before release come on! Hope pc version is good.

Shadonic3971d ago

wouldnt call it rushing I mean the game was in development for 3-4 years possibly even longer from when i first read about it on N4G. Besides if they have deadlines you have to meet them. The bad thing is you will miss a couple of bugs or issues the good thing is that they can be fixed after release.

Grap3972d ago

MS pay indie yah like that's happen in this world. maybe in perfect world.

matrixman923972d ago

you do know the game is published by Microsoft right?

r40k2133972d ago

but.... Microsoft makes Windows, so PCs are technically Microsoft systems too!

aliengmr3972d ago (Edited 3972d ago )

No, in fact its quite the opposite. MS has almost no control over PC gaming. Were it not for the OS PC gaming could easily forget that MS even exists.

r40k2133970d ago

That was.. a joke, man. Just me arguing for it to get to PC faster.

The game is fun, but it runs like shit. Hopefully the patch fixes the frame-rate and pop in.

gamertk4213972d ago

I have seen a minimal amount of pop-in, but zero frame rate issues. So far, I love the game, and I really didn't like other zombie games all that much for the most part. Got bored quickly with all the dead ridings, dead island, left 4 reads. I highly recommend this game, especially for 20 bucks.

R_aVe_N3972d ago

By the time it comes out on PC i won't care anymore really it was a bad move if you ask me. Would have been a lot easier just to make the PC version and port it to the 360.

dethpuck3972d ago

Great game lots of fun. No disc to worry about. Excited for the future of digital download.

despair3972d ago

I'll wait, this is just like any other game announcement except you know its going to be good before hand. I mean I waited years for Bioshock Infinite, I can wait a while for this one.

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit38d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead38d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica38d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL37d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit37d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper37d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica36d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer38d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit38d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer38d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit37d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218338d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer38d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218337d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper37d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal38d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood38d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218337d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde38d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
