State of Decay is a sandbox full of zombies shrouded in mystery | XBLA Fans Preview

Nick Santangelo: "'This is by far the largest and most ambitious XBLA game ever made. No question,' Undead Labs CEO Jeff Strain said matter-of-factly of State of Decay when we spoke at PAX Prime. Though XBLA Fans has been unable to verify that claim, my brief time with the sandbox zombie game proved this much, at least: it’s huge. To put a measurement on it, Undead claims the overworld is 16 square kilometers."

Seems like its taking some elements from DayZ. Still looking forward to see what they have in store.

WetN00dle694208d ago

Its the other way around actually. This game has been in development for about 2 to 3 years now. SO its DAYZ that took elements from this title.

maniacmayhem4208d ago

Well, thats news to me. Either way it looks very promising and can't wait to see more.

GearSkiN4208d ago

Indeed. Hope multiplayer is suppported, looks very interesting.

Shadonic4208d ago

Multiplayer is supposed to be added after release.

GearSkiN4208d ago

yea i'd be nice if they have at least 8 ppl online. but cant beat that for an XBLA open world.

3-4-54208d ago

looks interesting. when is release date?

Tres214207d ago

im not sure but i thought i read they decided 2 leave multiplayer alone 4 class3(state of decay) and save multi player 4 class 4 that they had tossed around at a co-op 4 it but the thought it would limit the single player game?

WetN00dle694207d ago

As to what i heard. State of Decay WILL NOT support multiplayer. Before it was known as State of Decay this game's code name was Class3 an MMO game for the Xbox 360 and PC. The MMO elements was scrapped for this game. This game in particular will only be a Single Player experience. State of Decay is kinda like a Beta of Class4. The map is smaller and will have a certain number of side quest and what not. Class4 will be the full on MMO experience. It will sell retail and will have a bigger map and a heck load of side quests.

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

TheEroica37d 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.

Friendlygamer37d 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.
