Apparently they're doing another stream next Monday to make up for it. Have another contest: Show off your home town on it's last day on earth. Sanya will send you a music track, and you use it make a mini-documentary on your home town. 50 people get the soundtrack, and 10 people get a free copy of the game. girth brooks part 2 fucked around with this message at 04:27 on May 31, 2013 |

Zombie games don't really have an outstanding track record but I do appreciate that they're not trying to make something realistic and bland. The more Dead Rising stuff there is the better.

Dr.Oblivious posted:IGN is doing a 15 minute Let's Play everyday for State of Decay until the game comes out. I don't know if it was a slip of the tongue or what, but they said it's coming out on June 5th. They also said their review would be up that day, so I don't think it's a mistake. They mentioned there's some issues with the aiming, frame rate, and clipping, but it didn't seem to be enough to dampen their fun. Also, you can stealth kill zombies.

I hope this makes it to PC. I first heard about State of Decay back when there was a War Z thread ( ) and someone posted a gameplay vid that made it look really fun.

New hands on article went up yesterday on OXM UK Some footage from the failed Undead Labs stream: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD54Jr04AOQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMZK7_smLbY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buNp04j6-zM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUia76B51Wg The lunch stream from Polygon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apJgU-pc2Is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCscY6AQUBg There's a new article up Undead Labs detailing the certification process, and where they are in it. Kind of an interesting read if you want to know more about what goes into making a game. They are in the final stage of certification which is basically making sure you can play the game all the way to the end with no major bugs breaking the game or your xbox. If nothing horrible happens, and they finish up by Tuesday, the game should be out the 5th. If something does go wrong, or certification takes longer than they expect, then they're going to be rescheduling for the following Wednesday. Repeat until game is out.

I just heard about this game this weekend and it has instantly shot up to the top of my must play list. Its kind of crazy how nobody else has ever made a zombie survival game with a focus on surviving instead of just killing zombies.

I like the way you "buy" things in the game. Instead of using money you have influence, as in your fellow survivors think well enough of you that they let you use supplies as you see fit.

Man these IGN guys sell the game so much better than the UndeadLabs people. Some genuinely pretty loving terrifying things happen to them in this episode. Where the UL livestream from what I saw was mostly them driving around in cornfields.

I'm pretty sure the UL stream is from a lot later in the game. Their party seems to be far more established than the early game IGN play. EDIT: Yeah, if you look at their home status they're in dev mode or something since they have 999 of all supplies. EDIT2: \/ I didn't watch it long enough but they actually admit to "cheating" only a few minutes into the first video when they check the supply stash.

They magically change the time of day at one point. Some of those Radio Channels are debug menus and there won't be that many in the final game.

The more I read about this game, the more excited I am getting. One of the first things that got me excited to get a 360 years ago was reading the Dead Rising 1 thread that was in games, reading about all the awesome stuff in the game, and when I got my 360 and Dead Rising I was very happy. I am hoping the same thing happens this time with this game after getting my two remaining 1200 points from the Microsoft Store deal.

This sounds pretty good. How much of it is randomly generated aside from characters? I assume it's based around a preset campaign since there's a mention of storyline NPCs in the OP?

Seems like the there is a preset storyline. Developers have also that there is definitive end and no post credit free roaming like in the GTA games.

How much sandboxy loving around is there to do anyway? Are you pressed to do the main storyline or can you just dick around surviving for the sake of itself?

How old is that information? At the end of the review in the random notes section there is this quote • Don’t be afraid to complete State of Decay’s final mission. Even after the credits roll, you’ll still be able to continue from just before it starts, so your crew’s story need never truly end.

I was just going by what I read in the OP. Glad it looks like it is wrong though. Hopefully there will be a bunch of side missions and stuff to find after the game ends.

It looks like after the tutorial things go very sandbox. The plot parts are similar to GTA in that they can be ignored for the most part.

They aren't really comparable, State of Decay is an open world third-person survival/action game while Dead State is a turn based RPG.

I have Skyrim for my shenanigans, but a more survivalist take on the sandbox would be great. Kind of annoyed I'm doing an evening shift tomorrow that starts about an hour after Dead State goes live though, oh well.

That particular bit is from PAX East before they settled on what to do about post-game and kept giving different answers, that was the most depressing answer so I ran with it. But the review article is correct, it creates an auto-save just before the last mission, so you can load it when you're done with the story. THE PWNER posted:This sounds pretty good. How much of it is randomly generated aside from characters? I assume it's based around a preset campaign since there's a mention of storyline NPCs in the OP? There's randomly generated NPC's, loot spawns, and missions. There's also a few static NPC's and a set storyline. poptart_fairy posted:I hope so.
