State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition brings the hit zombie survival-fantasy franchise to Xbox One. State of Decay, along with major Add-Ons Breakdown and Lifeline, is now fully remastered in stunning 1080p. New missions, weapons, and extra content, along with improved lighting, textures, animations, and combat mechanics, will pull you even deeper into the post-outbreak world. How will you survive the zombie apocalypse?

SoD is a personal favourite of mine, despite all of its bugs. It provides a lot of fun and can get quite intense at times. If you haven't picked it and all of its DLCs up already I recommend you buy this.

Did they ever end up adding co-op to it?

I loved that game, was disappointed in no coop though.

Nope. I think they said they wouldn't add any sort of multiplayer until they perfected the concept in singleplayer.

So what that means is that they realized they couldn't implement it and gave a PR response to placate the masses so they wouldn't go ape on their broken promise.

State of Decay is a guilty pleasure. It's an enjoyable experience, but I really wish they would add co-op.

They're developing an online SoD game at the moment, under the codename Class4. They won't be adding multiplayer to the original game.

I remember getting that game when it launched. I really, really should get back into it. I remember finding going with my second dude, finding that military chick, getting in a car, trying to jump the bridge and failing, ending upside down in a stream, walking to town with three mangled people, finding the church, doing some stuff, and then getting to the farmhouse before I used up all my ammo and my melee weapons broke on the huge undead.

My car was totaled to get there so I was faced with walking back to the church with no ammo, no weapons, and bad injuries.

I stopped a little while after that. But for a single player experience I liked it. And the concept of losing people permanently is awesome. It makes you so much more cautious and tactile.

Another zombie game? Really?

It came out two years ago, this is just the Xbox One port with all the DLC.

State of Decay was one of the best zombie games I've ever played. I'd like to see a larger world with more choices outside the obvious meta, but I might have to check out it's expansions.

There's nothing like having an 8th gen system so I can play last gen games.
