Don't Live Arcade exclusives tend to have one year exclusivity before heading to other platforms?
For example American Nightmare came out three months later on PC, published by Remedy themselves.

In case someone has not noticed, from the OXM review:
Dont be afraid to complete State of Decays final mission. Even after the credits roll, youll still be able to continue from just before it starts, so your crews story need never truly end.
If someone already posted that sorry, I'm new here on GAF lol

The devs said the exact opposite on the stream today.

Miscommunication? Maybe it simple means there is no playing the game after the final story mission. Though upon reloading the game, your set right before the final mission, leting you do whatever you want till you activate that final mission again? Maybe?

Righto.
They have made it fairly clear that you can't. So as Slasher said its a reload of the mission. Which makes sense as it saves before each one.
Regardless actually as it accomplishes the same thing.
Welcome by the way!
Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
I just finished the game not 10 minutes ago. Will have the IGN review up on Wednesday. In the meantime, we have 2 more Let's Play episodes. One tomorrow at 12:30pm, and the fifth and final episode on Wednesday at 12:30pm...though I suspect you guys might be busy actually playing the game at that point.

Are you able to provide any kind of minimal impressions?Thanks, appreciate the kind words!

To anyone concerned about visuals and animations, remember that this is just an XBLA game. If you're expecting like Naughty Dog level of graphics or animations or Euphoria physics, then your expections are too high
But remember this is just an XBLA game...with a 16 square KM open world, 99% interiors, tons of variables like personalities, skills, 90+ weapons, NPCs that can go insane or commit suicide or just refuse your orders and leave if you're not a good leader. It's really really ambitious and there's a limit to how much data an XBLA game can have.

Have they hinted that is even possible?

Yes that's their plan. If sales are good, their first post launch goal is to add online coop.
If the game is a success, they also plan to start working on "Class 4", the bigger MMO version of State of Decay

So glad they're using ZombiU's perma-deaths. Added so much tension . . .

Did you max out your sexting?
If it came out next year i wouldn't even bother with it.
Day Z stand alone hits early access this month and probably full release by the end of the year. Once that hits i won't have a need for a mediocre version of day z. Not to mention no day 1 coop? Get your shit together MS.
zombiU didn't invent permadeath.

I would like Day Z if it wasn't on the fucking Arma 2 engine, everything about that engine is just ...ugh. Look forward to this, and project zomboid tho.

Yup, still pissed that I bought Arma 2 just to try that crap.

This is a totally different type of game than Day Z though. This game is much more about the simulation. You get to go out and find a base, organize people to join you, have them help you create different parts of your base depending on what you need at the time, manage the NPC's so they still like you and believe in your cause, negotiate with other survivor groups, and there's also missions you can run. Day Z is much more focused on emergent gameplay between survivors on a server because it's all multiplayer. It doesn't have NPC's, actual base building (yes, you can build fences and tents, but you can't build watchtowers, hospitals, etc). I'm a big fan of Day Z, and I'm going to be there day one for its retail release, and that won't stop me from being excited or getting this game day one either.
tl;dr They're both unique games with their own goals.
Good summary, I think it'll be wasted though as smr00 seems to just want to complain rather than having a legitimate complaint.
Comparing it to Day Z despite the fact that beyond the zombies it is a totally different type of game.
But DayZ is boring and reliant on multiplayer, it just falls flat alone.

DayZ is just a multiplayer experience with no mission objectives, you're running around the game hunting for beans and pepsi while avoiding danger like cheaters lol its not my idea of a fun time. the engine is still a huge piece of shit regardless of how many improvements that they make... they need to concentrate on creating a new engine using some of the money that they have made with Day Z mod, ARMA 2 and ARMA 3

Ah, fair enough. I guess it depends on if this studio is big enough to self publish otherwise PC owners might be in for a long wait.
So this is confirmed right? It's not a mistake or anything because the exact opposite was stated on the previous page.
Brilliant news if it's accurate.

Only one day left y'all.

Watched the 3rd part of IGN's stream. I was really impressed with how the zombies started to swarm, and the death of the guy's character was hilarious. In most games you would just heal and move on so that was totally unexpected

The last IGN video was pretty good. I have 2 weeks off now and I'm ready for some zombies.

I had ignored it thinking it was coop. Coop games sound great in theory. I don't know how many coop focused games I've picked up thinking that magic time when someone else is available and in the mood to play it is going to happen this time. Monster Hunter is the only one that works out.

This game may change some minds on what NEEDS co-op. I can see the desire but this game has a ton going for it already.

Singleplayer only.

Oh ok, looks like I won't be getting it then. A game like this in this day and age I can't believe its not coop. No buy. It would have worked brilliantly and its a no brainer to have included it.

No, single player only. There is talk the sequel will be an MMO if this is a success.

If the game sells well, their first post launch goal is implementing online coop. And if the game is a success, the team can start working on "Class4", the larger MMO version of State of Decay
I might check it out too, but I agree with the coop, it would make it so much more fun.

If the MMO comes to fruition, I really hope it'll show up on consoles. I have 2 groups of friends that I play games with, one on Xbox and one on PC. The xbox group will probably all be getting SoD, but then won't be able to play the MMO together if it's PC only.
Regardless, I'm super excited about tomorrow!
