NCrawler Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This one looks like it might be good. Looks like a 3d PZ: http://www.deadstate.doublebearproductions.com/ IIRC a demo should be out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1312rene Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Nah, there will be more focus on strategy. It wil probably more be like wasteland/fallout/jagged-alliance in a post-apocalyptic zombie setting. Still, looking forward to the game zombo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connall Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Kind of curious, but it's a wait and see sort of thing. Can't be too careful since some recent games of the same nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomWarlock Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's okay, I just don't like turn-based combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCrawler Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 It's okay, I just don't like turn-based combat. The combat reminds me of the old Jagged Alliance and XCom games. Good memories... PhantomWarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCenturion Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Meh, Dead State has been around for awhile. I was following it, but then it sorta... died. So I gave up on it. Might be interesting if they've come back though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were never 'gone', they are currently working on a demo. It existed well before Kickstarter, they started somewhere in 2008 or 2009. The Kickstarter campaign just allowed the main devs to work on Dead State full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moloch Horridus Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Bought and played for couple of hours, it seems to have right kind of mentality behind it. Combat is pretty close to old school Fallouts with debuffs. I really like it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harakka Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Looks like they're getting close to the finishing line then. I've been keeping an eye on this for a long time, will be interesting to see how well it actually plays. The writing certainly shouldn't be the weakest link here. Edit: and yeah, I've seen the gameplay video. It seemed a bit awkward but basically sound. Hopefully they've smoothened the bumps out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moloch Horridus Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Anything you didn't like so far?Well the zombies and npc's are pretty static right now, they only start moving after spotting you. But thats clearly still in development. I just came back to the shelter after first scavenging round (visited 3 different smallish maps) so I don't know if other survivors in the shelter are going to start moving either, nor do I know whats planned. Haven't met any non-hostile survivors yet, or any animals. It could be more clear what goes into the shelters main inventory (which is abstracted into few categories) when returning and what doesn't. I was pretty sure I had found a chocolate bars to boost other one survivors moral but those chocolate bars were not special enough and were put to the luxury category in shelter stock instead. Sure enough its labeled so if you look, but nonetheless this could be clearer. One gripe I have is that you can't unload weapons or medical satchels, at least I don't know how to do it. Interface can be a bit unintuitive so I'm not sure. Haven't roamed the dev forums either to see if this is about to change. EDIT: seems like its coming. Camera system could be either more flexible or not flexible at all, meaning that the tilt feature is pretty useless right now. Otherwise the freedom to rotate the camera is great. All in all minor stuff thats probably going to change for the better as the time goes by. Oh! You can't climb through windows is one thing I miss most from the PZ.

nasKo Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Only played for a couple of minutes. The tilt feature confused me a lot, since it was close to useless. Will give it a proper try today, I hope. Thanks for your thoughts so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moloch Horridus Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've have a lot of crashes on the second day while accessing other survivors inventories on scavenging maps, so beware and save often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EreWeGo Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yeah, disappointed to be honest, I was looking forward to see how this would develop. Still, it's early access, so might check in with it a bit further down the development cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyukIsGod Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 It's free roam you can go where you want...I own the game and you can open the map and go to another area via that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess it kind of depends on your idea of "Free Roam" - it's definitely not an open sandbox type game. Found this thread on Steam that sort of explains it:http://steamcommunity.com/app/239840/discussions/0/558747921958936255/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctahWong Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Never had high hopes for this game, it just felt bland to me. I mean, I LOVE real-time strategies(like X-COM) but this just didn't interest me as much as others. Just my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EreWeGo Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Out of curiosity RyukIsGod, what are your impressions of the current build since you own the game? Jamesonline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
