state of decay year one survival edition

Almost everything that Undead Labs does well in terms of gameplay, which is admittedly a lot, is overshadowed by what is a technically awful experience in this re-release.įor this remaster to have so many issues in terms of the visuals and performance of the game is a huge disappointment. State of Decay fans accepted these shortcomings of the original game, but it’s clear that the Xbox 360 hardware wasn’t the thing that was holding this game back.

The game struggles to keep the action flowing when things get hectic as more characters are on screen at once. State of Decay on Xbox One suffers from horrible frame rate issues and choppy animations, that make it almost unbearable to play. The type of mess that you wouldn’t associate with something that claims to have been “Remastered.” While the game has seen a bump in resolution and has received some upgrades in terms of lighting and effects, this IS NOT a significant improvement over what we saw on the Xbox 360. It’s been almost two years since the game first debuted on Xbox 360, but State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition on Xbox One is kind of a technical mess. While State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition from Undead Labs and Microsoft Studios boasts these features as well, it only delivers on part of it. Upgraded visuals and technical upgrades to take advantage of the more powerful hardware usually coupled with all the available downloadable content have been the usual selling points. We’ve seen remastered versions of The Last of Us, Tomb Raider, Borderlands, and many other games in the past couple of years which offered a pretty compelling reason to double-dip. For the most part these have been pretty good. There has been no shortage of developers and publishers jumping at the opportunity to bring old games to the new Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles.
