These improved relationships could also add to community tension if a character was to potentially die and, for example, their spouse was to react negatively and impact their performance ability and personality in response to this. It could even rival other impressive relationship mechanics such as the Nemesis System from the Middle Earth: Shadow games. In addition to this, the ability to marry or engage in romantic, friendly, or rival relationships would really knock the community element of the game out of the park. Specifically, including more in-depth character relationships for example, recruiting family relatives, childhood friends, and other backgrounds with depth and character would really add more weight to the community aspect of the game. However, there is still room for improvement in this area. State of Decay 2 provided a more refined version of the survivor relationship and community role element that plays a large part in what makes the game so enjoyable. A new cinematic trailer has also been released showcasing the upcoming. IMPROVED SURVIVOR RELATIONSHIP MECHANICSĪnother popular fan requested feature is an in-depth relationship system. Aptly named State of Decay 3, the upcoming zombie survival simulation is still in the early stages of development. Outside of the trailer, however, there are still other features that haven’t been teased but nonetheless would be a more than welcome addition to the franchise.Ī high risk, high reward environment. A mechanic like this can be seen in games like Read Dead Redemption 2 or Ark: Survival Evolved. ![]() Intense conditions could also fetch more into the survival element of the game and drive the player to manage new sections of survivor management, such as a temperature meter which forces the player to adapt their wardrobe to fit the temperature and weather conditions. For example, snowy conditions could affect driving in the game, such as skidding on ice, or maybe ruining the engine start-up. This feature could really shake gameplay up in a number of ways. A weather mechanic has been a missing feature from the previous games and has been heavily requested by fans on online forums forums ever since the first game released. The trailer also showed off a harsh snowy climate which suggests that there will likely be more emphasis on weather variation and seasonal changes. Suddenly, zombified humans don’t seem as scary. After all, there are human survivors, so why not animals? Perhaps there could be a new hunting mechanic introduced as another means of providing food for your community. The inclusion of undead wildlife could also mean that there are non-zombified animals in the game. Maybe zombified wolves still move in packs which could prove to be challenge for players if they do not carry a firearm. These zombified animals will presumably carry over some of their species’ traits such as a deer’s speedy movement which could make them a formidable foe, especially when playing as a character with a low stamina gauge. The absence of animals in the previous two games had always been quite suspicious: There are billions of animals in the world, and yet it’s only humans/zombies to be found? Luckily, this is no longer, and players will now need to worry about accidentally running into a zombified deer that could catch you off guard. This is the introduction of zombified wildlife which will most definitely bring a new depth towards exploring the already tense and terrifying apocalyptic world. ![]() The cinematic trailer was brief however, it showed us an interesting and exciting concept to look forward to. But, the setting, the zombies themselves, and that deer all lead credibility to the theory that it could be included, and it doesn't seem like it would be a stretch.5) 5. ![]() At this stage, it's too early in State of Decay 3's development to tell whether or not it is going to have any Wendigo lore at all. Some natives also liken the Wendigo to an infection, again pushing it more into the realm of zombies. In fact, the classic Wendigo appears to bear more resemblance to what most think of as zombies, and not a deer-headed monster or Yeti at all. ![]() This classic Wendigo has a much more human-like appearance, thought to be so hungry for flesh that it might have chewed its own lips off. There were thought to be a few different ways to become a Wendigo, ranging from being attacked by one, dreaming of one, being cursed by a Shaman, or as punishment for engaging in immoral or taboo activities, like cannibalism. The Wendigo was originally thought to be a spirit of the winter (which means the setting of the SoD 3 trailer fits), and a warning to the dangers of selfishness. It should be noted that there are some serious disparities and changes made in the more pop-culture version of the Wendigo compared to the original Wendigo (or Windigo) myth. ![]()
