Why no excitement for State of Decay rerelease?

The answer might be in the topic title itself, but still, I find it rather curious that nobody talks about it. State of Decay, one of the best independent titles of last gen gets a 1080p overhaul and includes all DLCs along with gameplay tweaks as well as totally new content, new characters, quests, abilities, weapons - and yet nobody cares.

On Xbox One, the game will also be packing a huge range of new Achievements.

1500 Gamerscore is up for grabs and Microsoft has released a list of some of the all-new Achievements and also what you'll need to accomplish to earn them:

Survival Edition also boasts new monthly timed challenges, which can be unlocked by individuals or the community at large.

players who successfully complete these challenges are to be rewarded with new secret items in the game.

Microsoft have already teased that the first challenge will likely involve reaching a certain amount of kills using cars.

Other features getting tweaks include the in-game crate drops, which will now randomly spawn across the map.

Players will receive 'mysterious messages' via the radio and will contain the best weapons.

However, the crates come with noise-making beacons add will be surrounded by many undead foes.

The beacon will need to be turned off to stop the zombies flocking to your location, meaning you won't be able to just use your car to clear the area.

What's cool is that if you owned the original release, then you are legible to have a 33% discount if you buy this version within first two weeks of release.

Here are two gameplay vids, one of them from PC, second one from Xbone:

Yeah, it's a rerelease. Not much else going on.

I've tired of the Zombie thing some time ago though I'm sure at some point I'll get back into them and this one seems awesome. Perhaps by the time I'm back into it, this will show up as a GWG game. :D

No local Co-Op...... Microsoft needs more of those.

rerelease, but I'll get it again on a steam sale.

I enjoyed my time with State of Decay on the 360, good game, a little too janky.

They said they treat it as the first game in a series, and co-op is a strong possibility in next installments. For me it's an absolute MUST in this kind of a game.

BTW I think Xbone has quite a few flagship games with co-op, including Dead Rising 3, which was a launch title, or Sunset Overdrive.

I don't necessarily think State of Decay needs coop.

A: Everything from a difficulty curve would have to be ramped up to implement it to maintain the zombies as a genuine threat.
B: The joy of that game is managing all those survivors both physically, mentally, resource wise, and it having a persistent world thing like Animal Crossing where the game world carries on without you.

A may not be that big of a deal, but coop would undermine everything cool that game does with B, it would be a tacked on aspect at best.

One of my favorite janky games. Will probably get it again.

State of what? never heard of it

Because I was disappointed by it on the 360 already.

Better question: why no excitement for Conker's Big Reunion? It releases in 2 days and I've seen no hype for it.

Well...it just goes to show that no one gives a damn.

Its not a bad game but its not that great either TBH. XBOTS hyped this game a lot for the 360 when it was exclusive but naturally there is no hype now that it isnt an exclusive any more. I doubt youll see it included in any of these "XBOX One future looks promising" lists.

Its another re-release, its another zombie game

Maybe you should bashing the xbox platform for once and look at it's list of games.

Simply answer, because it's on Xbox/PC and not Sony anything. I'm excited myself, missed the Xbox 360 release, digital pre-ordered it last week for Xbox One.

im not excited because i already played this on PC in 1080p with all the DLC.

Day 1 for me along with ShovelKnight

I am waiting on that MMO.

I because I have been playing it on PC for years now.

Dying Light is all I need I don't need another zombie game yet.

Why would I be excited for a game I picked up on PC for less money than this?

@soulitane: this.... and yeah had it on pc for years now. If it was a complete reboot then it could possibly be interesting.

And lol at @mems praising a game. First time I've seen that, and not the usual everything sucks attitude... of course if this game were a PS exclusive, then there would be a 99.9% chance of him bashing the game.. lol..

I don't think that's cool at all.

I guess when you compare it to other rereleases this may look a little better. But it's basically just going from rip-off to almost acceptable.

why would/should there be?

There's no coop in Sunset Overdrive.

.. The game would have been interesting if they actually focused on fleshing out the base mechanics and building mechanics far more.. That is what the game lacked in the end.. The actual base building and team building wasn't very in depth.. And zombies were never actually a real problem with base attacks once you situated your self alright.

Yet another rerelease of yet another zombie game... Two things SW isn't big on throwing parties over.

Played it already, and it was fun, but i have no interest in revisiting it.
