Undead Labs answered a round of community questions, revealing new details for their upcoming zombie game, “State of Decay.” New gameplay elements were discussed pertaining to how players will control their community of survivors during the zombie apocalypse.
In order to take direct control of a survivor, players will have to earn enough trust with the character that they are considered a “family’ member in game terms. Reputation can be built for each survivor based upon actions in-game to make that specific character as happy and satisfied as can be expected in a world where the dead walk the earth. Once a survivor has been raised to the level of a family member, players may directly take control of that character at any time. All family members can be switched between active control by either directly talking to them or via the game’s Journal menu. Survivors below the “family” level of reputation may only be set on tasks where the game’s A.I. controls the character as opposed to the player.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
The Humble Store is running a Microsoft Studios Sale with games up to 80% off all week long. Right now you can get Quantum Break for $9.99, Recore: Definitive Edition for $9.99, and State of Decay for $3.99. The sale ends in six days.

We need a GOOD alternative to DayZ, as opposed to certain recent attempts.
Horrible jaggies on those graphics!
For an Arcade title, I think the game looks superb. Fortify your camp, customise your character, build up your group, open world, and they're using this single-player title as a prototype for a multiplayer title of which promises 1000's of players on an individual server.
I've been hyped for this title since it's initial announcement.
Ahh man i cant wait to play Class 3 or rather State of Decay!!!!
I love the idea of being able to build a small community of survivors, nurture them, protect them, then deal with the consequences of their loss. This will be the closest gamers get to a full on Walking Dead experience. Each of us will have our own unique little band of survivors to stress over.
(Takes me back to how I felt the first time I lost Jools and Jops in Cannon Fodder on the Amiga)
