The bits of music that I hear between the commentary sound great.
Jesper Kydd does great work.
I've spent many hours wandering the worlds of AC2, Borderlands 2 and Darksiders 2 basically zoning out to the soundtrack.

You guys did a fantastic job helping promote a great game that really has a chance to fly under the radar. I've really enjoyed your videos and thanks for turning me on to this game. I'll be buying it first thing tomorrow

I'd be totally fine with the graphics if the game is smooth.
I hope the screen tearing/framerate are decent.

That was the goal, much like with Mark of the Ninja last year.
I guess we're better at shining a light on Microsoft's good XBLA games than they are sometimes, eh?

Pretty much all previews/reviews said it's not, earlier posts in this very thread commented on how apparent the tearing was, but maybe that was the live streaming.

Ryan from IGN said the screen tearing hasn't been apparent while he is playing but the frame rate has chugged a few times.

Weird that there seems to be more game here for $20 than many games I've played of late for $60 (minus overblown and unnecessary Hollywood-esque sensational elements) . . .
The last couple months have seen quite a few games with low prices, yet value equal to or greater than $60 games (CoJ: Gunslinger, FC3:Blood Dragon; now this). I hope this trend continues as we enter the twilight of this generation, maybe the "last hurrah's" of this generation will be games like these.

If the game sells well, the first post launch goal is to add online co op.
And if the game is a success, they can start working on "Class4", the larger MMO version of State of Decay

Ahh I keep watching that stream, then turning it off, then back for a little bit. I should just go to bed now.

What time do XBLA titles usually get released?

Hey guys! Going to start my State of Decay Live Stream! I've been stoked for this. Let's go!

Awesome, I'm looking forward to reading it. And thanks for the Let's Play videos. They certainly helped alleviate any worries I had with the game.

They're usually up on the marketplace by around 6:30 AM Eastern. Sometimes you can find them early by checking the Xbox.com marketplace an hour or so before.

Xbox Live updates at 5am EST, but that's no guarantee that SoD will be up at that time. I imagine they'll have it up before noon tomorrow.

Don't know much about Call of Juarez. But do you prefer the zombie genre or western genre? SoD is open world, with permadeath, an open world, base building and community management, 2 hour day-night cycle, survival elements, skills, etc.
Of course...I may be biased so...

I believe sometime between 5am and noon. Leaning more towards earlier
Reviews should be up tonight, but I haven't seen one yet
I know I really enjoyed the trial for CoJ and really enjoyed the western feel.
However this game looks unreal and very meaty, plus open world zombie game!
I think I may take the plunge and go this game. Loved permadeath in X-com so will take a stab at it.

SoD will have a trial too. It's basically the tutorial
I don't know enough about SoD to speak on it, but Call of Juarez was a ton of fun. Well worth the 1200.

Vehicles can block doors. You can also stage fast getaways by parking a car next to a porch and then leaping off the porch onto the hood when running from zombies. The most impressive bits to me are the myriad systems at play in the game.

I was watching that stream and I saw constant screen tearing. It looked worse than unlocking the frame rate on Bioshock Infinite on consoles.

Only review I've found so far
http://www.oxmonline.com/state-decay-review?page=0,1
+ Open world full of enticing structures and hidden loot; noise management adds lots of tension.
+ Appealing mix of stealth, melee, and ranged combat; weapons galore; base/character upgrades.
Mediocre graphics; minimal story; permanence of death may bug some players.
? How come zombies can climb fences but not ladders?
Score: 8/10

And the guy running the stream said he wasn't seeing it on his screen.
It would be nice to see where they take the "lessons learned" from this release and apply it to the next phase. I'm also curious how the co-op mechanics would eventually work. Would it be more Dead Rising 2 style? 2 players? 4 players? PvP? Granted the MMO would have that and more, but I'd like to see a more narrow focused co-op experience for now. If Day Z was any indication, sometimes too many people just devolves into rampant social-Darwinists killing newbies ad nausum.

Weird, is it the capture software he's using? It seemed like every time the main character moved it would tear
I'm working the night shift so I won't be able to check my dashboard til 7am, but usually XBLA games don't get released til around noon. -_-
I've got my eye on one of those police cruisers. I plan on having a nice impromptu parking garage in front of my base by the start of the game.

It's even happening when he views the map. I asked him earlier if he was seeing it and he said 'no'. Had me worried as well.
