These include Hawkes, Kilo and Vance, but the suspected crowd pleaser will be the previously unplayable Kelly “Sasquatch” Eldridge.Ĭombat and animations will also be seeing a complete overhaul to go along with their shiny new wrappers, and players will also gain access to a suite of new vehicles, weapons, and even a new mission type. Specifically, some fan favorites from Lifeline can be unlocked in Breakdown. These won’t simply be copy and paste ports of the originals, but will instead bundle in some improvements across the board, along with some new playable characters that should have current fans pretty excited. PC gamers who upgrade via Steam should also benefit from the shiny new DX11 version of the game, though we didn’t get the opportunity to see that particular client in action.Īnother major thing to note is that the new release for State of Decay will bundle the core game, Breakdown, and Lifeline in a single package. The blocky shadows now render much cleaner, and State of Decay now pops visually in ways that should help it feel right at home on Xbox One. The Year-One Survival Edition first and foremost provides a very noticeable graphical upgrade thanks to being reworked as a DX11 release. And while the Cryengine may excel at more boxed in shooter environments, it took a fair amount of massaging to serve as the backbone for a sandbox environment on the scale of SoD. This was due in large part to the fact that State of Decay was originally developed in DX9 with many of the graphical limitations of the Xbox 360 in mind.
That the shadows rendered a bit too blocky, and that the world was a bit too washed out and muddy compared to open world games developed and released in roughly the same time period. One nitpick I’ve heard about State of Decay from many of my colleagues is that the graphics of the original game felt somewhat dated.
I Got My Violence in High-Def Ultra-Realism Along with a small group of contemporaries and peers, we were treated to a first look at this next major release for State of Decay. The answer to that question comes in the form of State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition which will be seeing a boxed release on Xbox One, and also made available to PC gamers via Steam. We’ve long been fans of State of Decay, and have been eager to learn what’s next for the franchise. However, thanks to an evening spent at Undead Labs, this year’s annual outing kicked off with an epic bang. When Team Hammer set foot in Seattle this week for PAX Prime 2014, we fully expected to be greeted by the former. Others are hallmarked by a thunderous roar of near deafening proportions. Some gaming events creep in like a stealthy assassin, slipping silently through the shadows of your subconscious before making their presence known.
