State of Decay Gameplay Trailer Distracts The Dead

State of Decay Gameplay Trailer Distracts The Dead

Alpha footage of how one can sneak past a mob/pack/murder of zombies

Written by Dog of Thunder on 01 November 12 at 20:33 | Credit to METAL MIN0TAUR

What exactly is the accepted term for a group of zombies? Mob? Pack? Herd? Whatever it is, Undead Labs' upcoming XBLA game, State of Decay will be expanding our vocabulary. Watch this alpha footage of the interpid hero using homemade firecrackers to sneak into the gun store.



For alpha footage of an XBLA open-world zombie survival game, that's not half bad. Sadly, we have no more information regarding State of Decay as both a price point and a release window are currently unknown.

It's hip to be an animated corpse these days. As for the proper terminology, I believe it's a hoard.

Either that or a gaggle.

Wow, it's looking really good. I've been following this game pretty closely and I always thought if they can pull off what they are trying to do with the game it will be an amazing game. Looks like they are on the right track, can't wait to see more.

It's too bad... because if all games were geared toward me, they'd all be good. :D

Interview I saw said they're hoping for release early next year. So hopefully some time before the end of March. It looks like a much better premise than other zombie games as it is just about survival and I like the idea of developing a community and learning new skills with the looming threat of perma-death for any character that dies. My concern is that the game will either take too long or will never be developed into the MMO they want it to be and it will either die a quiet death or will be underpopulated.

Either way I'm on board for this game. Can see a lot of other zombie media influences in this and it looks good for an arcade game.

Edit: As if you wouldn't close the door behind you!

As for price. The game is XBLA so you can guess it will be between 800-1600 msp. What is so difficult about using some educated guesses? I'm going to say 1200 with an optional increase for online functionality.

and every game could guarantee itself one whole sale, and you would be expected to fund the entire industry. then, you'd then go bankrupt from buying every game that comes out, in which case the entire industry would implode and the world would hate you because you were a bigger poison to video games than E.T.

and that, kids, is the story of why no one cares if you don't like a sub-genre of video games.

Dang, head the title before but this is the first footage I've seen. Looks great and definitely looking forward to picking this one up! Hopefully it come out when there's not tons of other good games.
