This is State of Decay, a new Microsoft-published Xbox Live Arcade game that might be one of the most ambitious digital titles I’ve ever seen. It’s an RPG, an RTS, a zombie survival game and a simulator.
If you’re confused by all this, I know exactly how you feel. You can watch some video footage — and listen to me try to talk after destroying my voice at PAX East last weekend — above.
Was extremely worried when I read a preview that described this as an RTS, which seemed to go against the open-world sandbox RPG feel of earlier previews. Less worried now that it makes more sense – looks more like resource management than classic RTS, which makes up the survival part, I suppose. The whole “evolving world” thing sounds pretty ambitious, but also pretty awesome if they manage to pull it off.
Did I miss the RTS elements in the video? It looks like an interesting 3rd person action/rpg, and judging by the mini-map, possibly open world.
And if it launches successfully, it is supposed to evolve into perhaps the only MMO I will play
Billions of melee weapons? I get the girl is there to sell it the game, but maybe lay off the speed
I’ve been keen on this game since last year when the first preview came out, and yes, I’m as sick of zombies as the rest of society – but they seem to be doing something a little different here, and on XBLA too which hasn’t had a good game since Mark of the Ninja
