Yall may not have heard much, or anything, about this title, set to release to XBOX Live tomorrow, June 5th, but I've been watching and waiting for this one for over a year now. I am extremely excited for State of Decay.
For those unfamiliar, State of Decay's official description is as follows:
"The end is here. Life as you knew it has gone to hell after the mother of all zombie outbreaks. Now you and the few scattered survivors must band together to survive and rebuild in a 3rd-person action game set in a dynamic open world. You choose where to make your stand, designing and fortifying your home base, performing daring raids for food and ammunition, and rescuing other playable survivors with unique talents."
It sounds a bit bland, I know, but there is a WEALTH of information on the game at the Undead Labs website, including just how in-depth the gameplay systems are, from scavenging, to building, skill-building, fortifying, health, zombie AI, human AI, etc. Also good to note that State of Decay is just a test run for UL, who plans on releasing a full-fledged AAA title next year, building off of State of Decay's framework. It'll be MUCH bigger (State of Decay's world is 5 square kilometers), and will feature co-op and full on massive multiplayer.
Here's the official trailer-
IGN just gave it an 8.9
