State of Decay 3 - New Trailer | Xbox Direct Showcase 2024

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Cinematic mixed with game play, but not CGI like the 2000 trailer at least.
It's UE5, looking good.

State of decay 1 and 2 both great games, but never reached the full potential I feel. Hopefully this one perfects the formula

Looks like a 360 game, but gayer.

I need to see a lot more gameplay. I might want to get my friends to play this depending on how the gameplay is.

The letdown of the show for me. Cinematic stuff, no gameplay showcase or a glimpse at new features etc and no release time frame.

This series never clicked with me. Hoping this one does. Definitely a giant leap in visuals.

Yup seems to be miles off and nothing that couldn't be SOD2 but prettier. Bummed/10

Smoke and mirrors again. I enjoyed this showcase but I still don’t trust them at all. I’m waiting to see how these games actually turn out. Some fans are desperate for positivity. I just want impressive, great games and the bullshit to stop.

First game remastered for the XB1 was brilliant for what it was imo . Hours flew by playing it.

im gonna say that you probably aren't going to get a lot of gameplay there. short clips and talking heads chatting about the game and how cool the things you aren't seeing will be, they promise.

I will be. More worried about the guys waving this flag having fecal continence in their 50s. Financially I'm long on adult diaper stocks for sure. Depends is going to make a killing when Gen X are in their 60s.

This is great news, truly the biggest necessary change from 2.
I'm pretty sure the cinematics were intermixed with gameplay. There were moments where characters were rotating in a way that looks like moving the right stick, not the kind of thing that would ever look natural in a cinematic. Unless they're just being intentionally deceitful, I really think there was gameplay there.
Regardless, it seems they didn't learn their lesson from the Fable trailer debacle either, if they're showing gameplay they should make it obvious to avoid these debates. Seeing a HUD for South of Midnight was a breath of fresh air

The short gameplay video doesn't look bad, but if there's one genre that's getting stale is Zombies.
Really needs a new concept to breathe life back into it.

Highly doubt the game looks as good as the trailer. I'm getting annoyed by "all objects are in UE5" spiel. Either show actual gameplay or don't. Really misleading to show snippets of what looks like it could be real gameplay. It is going to be an online co-op game. I doubt graphics are going to be cutting edge and that is fine. The trailer was absolutely rubbish just like the first CGI trailer
Still really looking forward to the game as their is tons of potential. At a minimum, the trailer reassures me that the game is not in horrible developmental hell

Same was said of Hellblade 2 showing last year. How many ate crow claiming it was cgi shown?

Agree with all of that, i was expecting this to be nearly done and it looks miles off, disappointment of the show.

To be fair, last year, people didn't think Hellblade 2 would be a completely on the rails video game that played like a borderline tech demo. State of Decay 3 is going to be a gaas game. No gaas games have cutting edge graphics because developers want as many people playing it as possible.

As a UE prop guy I'm getting tired of comments as such. What you've seen is 100% realtime cut scenes and short in game sequences.

Yes, it is an in engine cutscene. But that shit ain't optimized to be running on an Xbox Series X. And I guarantee you those flashes of "gameplay" will be severely downgraded

"You guarantee". Based on what? The team specifically mentioned in-game footage and cinematics. I've worked on assets with the same texel density and texture sizes as shown in the trailer.

I don't really see anything in that SoD 3 trailer that doesn't seem like a moderately budgeted Unreal Engine 5 game made for the current gen.
Hopefully it releases within the next year and half.

There was not a single thing in that trailer that screamed "can't be done".

This all sounds spectacular. And they’re a smaller team, so I love that they are collaborating with Obsidian and Coalition. Take all the time you need.

Yeah hopefully Phil has learned his lesson pushing shite out of the door like Forza and Redfall. I'd like this to launch in a better state, big fan of the Series.
