‘State of Decay’ Headed to Xbox One in 2015
Capcom’s open-world zombie crunch/stab/beat/maim/freeze/explode/maim simulator has enjoyed a lengthy reign as really the only must-buy for zombie fans looking to get an Xbox One. There are plenty of other games out there, but if it’s the undead hordes you wish to mow down, then Dead Rising 3 has more of that than most other games. To fill this undead horde-shaped hole in its game library, developer Undead Labs has revealed the State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition.
The thing I liked the most about State of Decay is it came closer than most in offering what I want from a zombie survival game. It’s like a more engaging version of the Walking Dead TV series, only you’re the group leader who’s tasked with making sure everyone’s alive and safe enough to stave off any potential mental breaks that could result in their demise or the early expiration of someone in your group. It can be daunting, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.
With the Xbox One version, State of Decay will run at full 1080p and come bundled with its Breakdown and Lifeline expansions. They also teased some “entirely new content,” but we’ll have to wait to hear more about that.
If you missed out on State of Decay when it released on Xbox 360 last June and on PC the following September, this is another chance to try out a game that I highly recommend. I even called it “a zombie fan’s dream game” in my review.
The State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition is scheduled to arrive exclusively on Xbox One in early 2015.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
