Support NeoGAF

[SlasherJPC]

I entered a contest to win a copy of the game but I might also get a review code. If that happens I'll probably do a GAF give away. I'll keep you guys posted!

 

[Hurricane43]

Great to hear they passed certification. Really hoping this does well. I like what I see with the game and love open world games.

 

[Sweet Aunt Nancys Panties]

Major Nelson just confirmed the release date.

Day Z. I mean Day 1.

 

[Trigger]

It's only 1200 MSP too apparently?

 

[jbug617]

It's 1600pts according to Major Nelson

 

[CB3]

Major Nelson says 1600

 

[Miles Quaritch]

They passed cert???

FUCK YEAH!!!!!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Wooooo

 

[Miles Quaritch]

1600 bones.

 

[hitoshi]

"State of Decay" from @undeadlabs is coming to XBLA this Wednesday for 1600 MSP

edit: ehh, beaten by 2 seconds

 

[Trigger]

Ah, ok. People in the chat stream confusing me.

 

[Acorn]

Hell yeah!

 

[Miles Quaritch]

dev stream about to start in 30 or so mins i believe http://www.twitch.tv/microsoftstudios

This is live.

Only two days left until I'm playing this. OH MY GOD!

 

[jbug617]

Aegies said he played about 17hrs of State of Decay and still no ending in sight

 

[Acorn]

Aegies said he played about 17hrs of State of Decay and still no ending in site

I hope it isn't too full of filler.

 

[Trigger]

I hope so. I like a meaty game.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Goddamn.

Has he said anything about filler and the like? Or is he just wasting time in the world?

 

[see5harp]

Jeez $20? The last time I paid that much for an xbla game was probably Shadow Complex (i think).

 

[charsace]

They need to have a version of this ready for the X1 launch with the ability to have a large group in multiplayer.

Shadow Complex was 1200 bones.

 

[Izick]

Probably my last big hoorah on (360) XBLA.

 

[sneakypete]

One of the dev's said if you muscled your way through the story it'd be possible to beat it in about 15 hours.

 

[Biggzy]

Shadow Complex was 1200 bones.

And worth every point.

 

[Sweet Aunt Nancys Panties]

This game is so full of hilarious jank.

 

[jbug617]

I asked Aegies about his comments.

@aegies: @bosjbug pretty much every action in that game contributes to upkeep of morale and your home, so it's hard to say what filler would be

.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

As great as that would be, it's unlikely. They haven't started work on Class 4 yet, but SoD as the foundation, I guess they are half way there...

 

[Trigger]

Dev mentioned that you can specialize in specific weapons and said the most survivors he's ever had at once was about 21 peeps.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

And worth every point.

Indeed. I still enjoy the occasional session, which is surprising for a game that's nearly 4 years old.

I asked Aegies about his comments.

Sounds good. I knew morale, etc were important but it sounds like it's much more important than I initially thought. I can see a lot of survivors killing themselves during my playthrough.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Oh yes, live stream!

 

[Trigger]

You can't play past the ending, so I guess if you want to survive/screw around indefinitely you'll have to hold off on main story objectives? Lame.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

1600 bones.

You've just made my week! Thanks sir.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

That's very disappointing.

I wonder what the reason for that is. I hope it's not something as simple as the characters all die or something equally unimaginative.

 

[Karak]

It really sort of hinges on the last mission objective if you think about it. Disclaimer I know someone on the team so I don't want to speak out of turn.

NUKES! GOTTA BE NUKES!

Hmm, I think I've got it figured. I guess it's not too much of an issue, but it does annoy when open world titles don't allow you to roam/dp stuff after the game ends. Could just return the game to before the last mission as some games do...

Still, too early to criticise the decision too much, it sounds incredibly meaty and I'm sure I'll be more than satisfied during my first play-through.

Hype is still through the roof, pretty sure nothing will deflate it at this point.

 

[BeEatNU]

may check it out on PC whenever it releases

James Clifton, the guy who made the world deserves some serious kudo's. Basically 1 guys overall vision for the world and man. Awesome.

I think people won't have a problem KNOWING what a main mission is and isn't but the randoms are pretty realistic in a Walking Dead kind of way so by the time I person rushes to the main ending...they might WANT to be done The best way to describe it is an open world, multi character RPG in a zombie world. So meaty is an understatement for some of the systems they have.

 

[derFeef]

NUKES! GOTTA BE NUKES!

World of Decay
Radioactive zombies.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Yeah....no. I was really looking forward to this, but the lack of coop and the hefty price makes the waiting for the pc version much easier.

 

[SummitAve]

CastleStorm, and now this. Been a very good couple of weeks for XBLA.

 

[Karak]

Also this version seems to be far smoother. Still popin but way smoother.

 

[Orca]

World of Decay
Radioactive zombies.

Call it Half-Life: World of Decay and see what happens

HNNNG.

Sounds incredible. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the day tomorrow...

Side note, where's episode 3 of let's play? The livestream helped, but the shakes are back...

 

[Karak]

Oh he showed the swat team call?! Darn I was hoping he wouldn't.
I think the real issue people will have with this above all is the graphical issues. Its got a soft look but with the popup and occasional stutter...its going to be polarized I bet.

And ripped apart in live twitch ha

[derFeef]

Turning stream off, I want some surprises left, lol.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

3:30 EST/12:30 PST

Thanks. So we should be getting it in just under 30mins.

 

[Sweet Aunt Nancys Panties]

Spoiler

Calling in air strikes. LOL. I can't wait to play this.

 

[GoxRx]

Turning stream off, I want some surprises left, lol.

I stopped watching videos for the same reason haha

I don't have any problem with the price, but there just a few games that cost 1600 ms points on the arcade marketplace, Minecraft is the only that I can remember right now

 

[Minsc]

may check it out on PC whenever it releases

I don't have high hopes of it doing so. Probably pick it up for 360 if it goes on sale, or if the impressions are really good and the complaints/bugs aren't too bad.
