So new channel has been kicked off already with a NEW State Of Decay 3 video if you haven't seen that. I'm also preparing for NEW LIVE STREAMS weekly on my Twitch and RUclips so stay tuned as the CONTENT RAMPS UP here. Thank you guys for all your support and check out the NEW CHANNEL here: www.youtube.com/@Sunnysurvives/videos
@@gamestalk381 Yeah absolutely. Other channel is so I can post more random videos that cover State Of Decay etc With a little less rhyme and reason and more fun
SOD2 is absolutely one of the best zombie games ive played. I honestly only have 3 request for the next title: 1-City maps like SOD1 2-Since they are doing animal zombies, zombie snakes 3-weather change/season change that effects your base & how zombies operate
I pre-ordered mine back in 2018, and I'm still playing going on 6 years now, that is the longest I've ever played a game, it's that damn good, however I don't think state of decay 2 is as hard as state of decay 1, state of decay 1 was brutal in my opinion
For me One thing that annoys me Is the lack of more customization of outfits.we have so many cool outfits that we could unlock..please add the posibility tò find all the outfits
I speak for myself but i like my characters to have a certain look..i would like the posibility tò have pistol holsters and gloves at least tò add tò my characters..i dont like to see my characters with invisible holsters for pistola..think about a cowboy with a "big iron on his hip" in a leather holster
Honestly, they should add some more or more variations every update or just every now n then. Would love to get those vest, bandanas, balaclava, ski masks, glasses n eyewear maybe, first responder uniforms, military uniforms, gloved outfits and more
Thank God, I've been complaining about this for a long time. It's unfair that zombies randomly spawn during large combat parts over and over and 9ver out of nowhere AND EVEN IF YOU KILL A MILLION OF THEM, the map stays dark red and never clears up
The only thing i hate from this game, is that there's zombies wherever you go. I love villages and cities being over run by zombies. But in middle of nowhere or farm fields? Why must be a zombie every 2 meters wherever you go? Damn
Especially after you've cleared them out, just warps in after you've left. That stretch between winchester hill and the truck stop in the starting map is a big offender, somehow always a horde or 3 and a feral despite crossing there twice a day running them all over, my base clearing anything at the vase of the hill, me clearing all around the top of the hill.
I'm still waiting for them to rework hostiles. In my opinion, they are the worst aspect of the game. I have beaten the game on Lethal but that's also because I completely avoided hostiles as much as possible and cheesed them with bloater gas grenades and grenade launchers when I did have to fight them. In my opinion, using zombies and freaks against hostiles should be a viable option.
They've been messing with spawns from enclaves so I'm hoping that might be the final piece to this game before SOD3 comes out. Keep in mind though I think Undead Labs previously has mentioned that for technical reasons its hard to implement certain things but we'll see what Wushu can do!
@@SunnyGamesYTI think the customization with the curveballs is what they should do with hostiles! If they can’t technically fix them, give people the option to customize how they function
@@deaconstjohn3399 Yeah if thats possible I would love to see that as well. Maybe Wushu will see this comment and it gives them something to think about! Well said
@@SunnyGamesYTone problem that my game is having is crashing its crashing over and over again and i can’t play I even tried redownloading the game on my Xbox and it won’t work
@@guilliman1990i agree that it is good how the consequences and occurrences can realistically change the game and how you go about things completely at any time. But i will say 100+ plague hearts is a bit excessive if you ask me😂. Fun challenge imo tho
Only thing I want from State of Decay, whether that be an Update for 2 or a feature in 3. I really want the human Enclaves to be more of a presence. I want them to grow, expand, fight, have conflicts. Etc.
The zombies spawning randomly was my biggest complaint as well because "clearing" somewhere always felt like a waste of time since you would never truly clear the area. I think using the hordes and having one or two just branch off somewhere is a good solution to keep zombies "spawning" around the map instead of there just being another 10 zombies jumping you out of nowhere after you just killed the first 10. Another thing is the difficulty of hostiles. It is extremely annoying dying to a hostile from one or two gunshots after unloading 3 mags into them. Its just so much of a waste and sometimes killing them isn't even worth it they usually have nothing or trash.
“No one here’s judging you if you want to do nothing but positives and just want to have a blast” wish the official discord had this mindset, it’s toxic as hell
I really hope state of decay 3 takes it to a whole new level, not just in map size but slowly build a community into population count of 30s or 40s with other enclaves that you can run into doing their own looting and not just sitting in a set location
Yes. More world action taking place as enclaves get settled, outposts claimed, etc. I’d really like enclave favor to be gained inherently by helping their members as you come across them in the open world, assisting them with various tasks that are not mission related. Another thing I would like, would be the option to find and improve characters for the player community, then emplacing them within enclave groups where you can slowly improve their standing until they come to lead those enclave groups. Imagine if you had to befriend enclaves, provide them with a quality member of your team, slowly grind that team member’s standing in the enclave, and only once they claimed leadership of an enclave could you influence that enclave to join the player community (if you so choose). I think this process would vastly improve the feeling of enclave growth and investment as well as slow down the players ability to simply absorb allied enclaves or entirely disband them by recruiting a single member away from them.
I would like to see a leadership mechanic where you can appoint people to a leadership role over departments Department of Agriculture Department of security Etc And who you appoint as leader effect everyone who falls under that department
Ya I remember when I saw a tip on my loading screen telling me that "every inch is crawling with zombies. No where is safe." So it's good to hear about the new zombie spawns
Yeah, just having a game option "zombie respanw - off/on" would be awesome. Just the choice. Sometimes I want to play in respawn hell but sometimes I just want to liberate the entire map
@@loungelizardsss Realistic Spawn, its a mod that makes game start harder then progressively easier the more you clean hearts. Zombies are gone when you clean the hearts.
i wish this game had more of a rts side feature, like outpost expansion base building and city control and sieges. like really big settlements and td aspects to it. aside from that this game is pure golden.
I do wish they would add more outfits in the game especially military and police I have a full settlement of army and police veterans I just want them to look the coolest
How far we've come, since you first datamined Black Plaguehearts! I never dreamed it would be this much fun. It's like a whole new game. Very scary. Always love your videos!
5:45 This is just me but I feel like that's the entire point of this genre, players are living in a world where the problem...is people! Well, people turned into monsters but the sheer population density is what really brings you down, not so much the zombies themselves. This is the reason I feel why "zombie games" in general have never quite captured the full scope of of this genre because ya there's supposed to be MILLIONS of them! But I digress, I'm still happy to see this new change coming up and that they're still working on this game, incredible.
Population density is the key factor. God help anyone in Manhattan but if you're in some crossroads town in the middle of nowhere a day's shamble from the nearest city you might spot ONE every few miles. That precisely what was being talked about. Higher density in areas that make sense and lower likewise in areas that make sense as opposed to just appearing constantly from thin air because video game. I'm interested in seeing the feedback on it for sure.
so true and kind of unfair to have a freak spawning on ur back just right after u look away for second. ive had that one time spawned a horde with a plagued juggernaut on an escort mission. rip that guy
I’d like a slider in the options menu to change the frequency of other communities/survivors requests. I always come back to this magical game, but also every time I get burnt out because it feels like I’m playing’Trumbull Valley Stress Simulator’…. There is so much to do and explore in this game. The emergent gameplay opportunities that that provides is incredible, but it gets killed by all those requests over your radio; I feel I never really have the time to play the game at the pace it deserves.
Yeah, a "weakness". One of mine was weak to bullets. On a fresh community. Of course I have 200+ spare 7.62 cal bullets in my locker. Which it needed to go down. Didn't help that it spawned in the middle of the map with a growing influence radius. Plus hyper alert zombies. Because that goes along well with having to use guns. Did I mention this thing was located in the bathroom, so you had no clear line of sight from the outside? Yeah, black plague hearts CAN be challenging fun. They can also be game breaking BS.
SOD3 Wishlist 1. Dynamic Weather 2. Actual Scope View, not just a crosshair that gets smaller! 3. Base building, having zombies just break open a gate/door is LAME (you mean to tell me a group of survivors couldn't reinforce a gated house/building? 4. Better AI NPC's (good/bad/neutral) that actually are wandering around the map doing what they normally would independent of what the player is doing, unless the player actually interacts with them or they have ill intentions and detect the player. 5. Larger maps 6. City maps similar to SOD1 7. A Skill tree system rather than the SOD2 stat/star system. Be able to be good at a variety of things, rather than locked into one style of fighting/shooting.
no companion/follower tune ? we just need "wait here", and "stay close" command, or auto retreat at certain % of hp. so we can REALLY bring follower on lethal... also the zombie spawn that follow example of tv show ? no they arent, on tv/movie if u see a bed empty there will be still empty after you doing 360 rotation.
Now whay would be real cool, is if the area had a limit as well. Its a small town 5000 people so if i killed 4999 there would only be one zombie left. So you could clear out a town for say a daybor two till a new heard wonders in.
I love how these updates are basically opportunities to test mechanics that can or will be used in 3. It's smart and a way to refine for 3 before release. Idk if all developers use updates in this way for other games, but they should. Not only does it make it look like you care about the current community of players, but it also helps you with your next product.
The game needs a progression update in the sense you can colonize (more bases and bigger population) clear a map of zombies and move to the next map which will be harder. Make a new map, new enemies maybe infected wildlife, mutated human centipede bugs or a "creep" like the zerg that infests zones and have tentacles. Also a flamethrower would be great lol
Does this mean there's no more spawner houses in Lethal? For those who don't know, in Lethal, entering a house may cause around 40-60 to spawn in small pods over and over again for no reason.
This is probably one of my top 3 games I'm holding out on for this decade. I genuinely hope they take as much time as they possibly need to finish world building, mechanics, multiplayer etc, it has potential to be one for the ages; nothing else compares!
Just want some characters that haven't been beaten with the ugly stick. Enclaves that actually do stuff besides whining to you for supplies would be nice too. Why does everyone have your radio frequency and expect you to drop what you're doing to do them a favor again? I guess the updates over the years are sort of nice, but they never address the true problem of this game. It's an empty world that quickly becomes delivery driver simulator for a bunch of ungrateful, passive aggressive, randomly generated bot-personality enclaves. The other thing to do is clear out plague hearts until you go insane. I don't have high hopes for 3.
I just recently re-downloaded this game and noticed some differences with the limited time I had to play the game. I did not know how many things has changed but I am very happy with them!!
That headless curveball has my attention. I've always maintained that compared to SOD1 the Zeds in 2 feel like they're walking around with water balloons for heads which pop if you look at them wrong. In SOD they were frightening, they felt solid, and it wasn't hard to get in over your head without realizing it. In 2 you mow them down by the dozens so bringing back some of that struggle is a good thing.
SOD1 in general was more scary and frightening than SOD2. I felt like I nearly had a heart attack when I first got ambushed by a feral in SOD1. I never got that same kind of adrenaline-rushing fear moment in SOD2
@@Helvigster The first time I heard a feral howl in the woods outside the church wall at night I just froze. SoD1 ferals are scary in the daylight, in the woods at night when you can't see them they're terrifying. A tip to make SoD2 more intense is to turn down the gamma so that night looks like night rather than daytime with a blue filter. When all you can see 20 ft away are eyes in the dark you don't feel much like blindly exploring.
I love number 1 for its actual story and different communities (RIP police station guys and the judge they got hammered by a horde) but I was less frightened since blood plaque and hearts weren’t a problem except for my one guy that got it randomly rip. While in number two I won’t go out at night since I’m playing on the hardest difficulty and the plaque actually has me scared.
I hope sod 3 can have a multiplayer system were you could interaction with random plays and you can chose like passive or aggressive servers pve or pvp
Agreed, and you should be able to sleep/rest when you’re fatigued/injured. I feel like that’ll make the game more fun for me rather than having to control each character at some point through the game
On the 5 minute mark, I kinda disagree, zombies could be anywhere at anytime, and especially spawning in the places you won't want zombies, it feels very horde like, as it would be, although the visual of seeing them spawn is disappointing ect the ratio of humans to zombies is something like 1: 150k, I'd expect to see zombies in almost every nook and cranny (just my opinion tho, so exited for SOD3 😄😄)
I love the game! The warehouse needs to become a base. Maximum people should be 20. New territories. Other survivors should be able drive to your base to pickup items.
One of my immediate requests when Boons and Banes were discovered was to be able to select if you wanted only negative events. The level of personalisation in the menus is awesome - even though I haven't yet tried them out! But watching this video makes me want to try right away! Great video Sunny, very intrigued as to what new spawn mechanics might look like. 👍😎
One of the things that always kept me from playing Lethal was the abusive respawn of zombies, maybe with this update I will finally have a chance to play on this difficulty, and speaking of difficulty I believe that increasing the number of zombies has not proven very effective, Since there are people who play on lethal difficulty easily, I think it would be interesting to further ration access to plague cure items, or implement some type of mechanic where the player who is bitten by a zombie is definitely doomed to die. in a few days or hours, in any case it is a good update and preparation for mechanics that can be used in the next game in the series.
i definitely think a added customization would be cool it would make worlds outfits weapons and characters so much more unique and more fitting to your play through.
Sounds good, one thing i really wish they would add in sod3 is a freakless mode with more zeds, like the walking dead mod works basically, i hate having to rely on mods to play stuff how i like but it is what it is!!
The plague hearts awakening when threatened or if you caused to much havoc in a certain area completely changed the game for me for ever. Because it meant my usual tactic of picking away at them little by little to expand my influence doesn't work anymore. Because as soon as i kill one it starts an arms race between me and the hearts. So now I have to play extremely stealthy until I have enough firepower and resources to launch an assault. Which combined with me not being able to claim any outposts unless all hearts in the area are destroyed is painful. It forced me to get my resources through bartering with enclaves and looting.
I love how compassionate the studio and devs are with still updating SOD2 while making the new SOD3. I feel like the curveballs rejuvenated the game, after while it can become stale in my opinion. Also the latest update is amazing dropping off rucksacks at outpost 2 or higher has literally been a game changer love it.
I like the concept of the outpost sacks but never found it useful. I love the idea of a "Safe" house so I always end up surrounding my base with outposts so I can actually chill at base. With these better Spawns, maybe I'll start using them as FOBs again

I wish at night that there was security perimeter lights like in the military like hesko barriers and huge lights maybe pulsar to draw in zombies for extra xp and influence
SO I don't think I mentioned this in the video but the constant zombie spawns and the zombies calling OTHER zombies is def super frustrating at times and leads me to running around in circles line of sighting until I can have a moment to breath lol SO I PERSONALLY CAN NOT WAIT For this update and hopefully they can nail it!
Can't even hear the video out... REALISTIC ZOMBIE SPAWN!!! thats literaly my biggest wish since start... specialy if accesible for modders. The SINGLE biggest bad thing about mods like "The Waking Dead" with no specials but more hordes and zombie density was that they JUST spawned in right next to you... you scout out a house... its empty... but right as you walk in and "activate" the spawn the living room next to you suddenly has 20 Z's... if this gets better i love it.
In state of decay 3 i want to see huge hordes with hundreds or thousands of zombies on screen and an option to decide what can of zombies pretty much like project zomboid and imagine having opportunity to have hordes of sprinting rage filled zombies that if any blood get into mouth or eyes of survivors they become 28 days later styled zombies.
Great video man! My mom and I have finally made the transition over to Dread Zone difficulty, and it's been so much more fun and seemingly realistic for us to how it might actually be in the zombie apocalypse! Can only imagine how insane Lethal will be for us when we get there... Thanks for the video and adding the interesting comments from the Undead Labs developer. Hoping we get to see some State of Decay 3 footage at the Xbox Direct in June!!!
Man I love the new update with the new stuff but damn everytime I call for a trader now it seems to glitch after ringing the dinner bell afterwards we'll 1st the haven device now sucks always goes down and takes forever to charge so really worthless and after killing the zombies 2 I can't access my storage inventory or interact with the traders or my other characters and if I reset the game I lose my trader really annoying was never a problem before
So will they then use some kind of zombie density markers on the map or are we just supposed to assume that just because it's a town it will have higher zombie density?
Whenever someone asks me for a good Zombie game, i always say SoD 1/2. Yeah getting into it is a bit finicky but once you got the hang of it, the game is so much more enjoyable in a long term playthrough than any other. Nothing compares. Especially not TLoU. (Even less Part 2).
Got me interested again, sounds like 1 step closer to creating a super noob mode LoL i like the game but I suck at it, increased difficulty mechanics made me stop playing. I just want to win not be bombarded with zombies every 5 seconds. Though at the same time i appreciate the insane difficulty efforts they’ve put in. Its always modders making things harder which restricts it to pc only and people like you need to be challenged and when sunny out there using cheese moves you know the devs done an amazing job on it.
i hope state of decay 3 adds a under ground bunker my main complaint is they dont have anything like that in state of decay 2 we need more cooler bases better yet custom bases we can choose and build from ground up
I hope state of decay 3 has a city map it would be insane with this update or even like actual military bases with unique characters it has so much potential
The game should spawn with one set of zombies, no respawn. Busier areas being more dense. And player actions can drastically effect theit movement and behaviors Then, have multiple off map spawning points where hordes of zombies enter the map, wander in a direction, and either spread out (disparate/break up), stay a wandering horde, or infect a building/s. What you do in game can affect the number and density of incoming hordes (like 5 level 3 hordes, etc) Off map spawns don’t necessarily need to be at the edge of the map btw.
As a bearded man . The lack of bearded men in SOD was always disappointing. Lol it's the apocalypse for God sake! Lol you think all these guys are shaving every morning?!?! I was pumped for sasquatch in thr first game cause it felt like i was playing myself ...BRING BACK THE BEARDED WARRIORS
The thing that has always bothered me about this game (which gets even more irritating in general) is not so much the spawning of general zombies, but the spawning of freak zombies and freak hordes specifically. Like, I can open my save file and do LITERALLY NOTHING, and within two minutes there will be no less than three hordes, two screamers, a feral, three bloaters, and at least one juggernaut within the freak detection of my base. I can go to an area, feel confident that I drew the attention of any zeds in the area, take two steps towards a nearby building to loot, and suddenly a feral horde spawns like 5 feet to me left and is on top of me almost before I even know they're there. And, of course, the infamous road bloaters. So yeah, hopefully if they're working on zombie spawning, they're also working on frequency/range of freak zed spawning.
I stopped playing the game after the Winter because the game was just super easy for me even in the maximum difficulty it was like walking in the park, I even finished the game several times without shooting a single bullet thanks to my repetitive crossbows , after playing the game for several years I have more than 40 repetitive crossbows in my legacy pools , so this update I will definitely come back first I'm gonna play it with the help of bullets just to be warmed up and then I will play it without firing a single bullet, I hope this time the game can force me to at least having a side arm all the time, because last time I played it on lethal I didn't even have a side arm let alone a proper gun like that AK 47 with that heli magazine (150 bullets) I also bought more than 15 of them but the first one I found on some rooftop when the game was full of bugs several years back, but those guns never spawn in lethal so I bought them because they are cool 😁😁😁😁 but nothing is that repetitive crossbow, that's indeed is the best weapon of the game in any difficulty I hope I see this crossbow in sod 3❤️❤️❤️ who ever made that crossbow for the game is a true legend, all hat's off for the creator of that crossbow 👍👍👍👍 also English is my second language so yeah my English isn't really good
Dang I’ll be deployed before they add anything worthwhile like stuff you can find and collect a new weapon M4-CQBR Military new military helmets Green, Desert, Urban, BDU, Winter to match the tacticals, make a police outfit out of the red talon soldier or something hoping when I get back they added all of this
State of Decay was mediocre because the spawn system was absolutely immersion breaking. 100 zombies killed? Spawn behind you when you leave a foot from the area. It was so immersion breaking, I just deleted SOD2 after like 15 min.
I wish we could get an option to clean up the roads. Like when we clear things in bases. Slaloming with the uneasy driving mechanics is frustrating. Especially as you can't drive for 2 seconds before a zombie jumps on your car.
id like to see much bigger maps, and more maps. id like to see an option for more survival and crafting mechanics. ie chopping down trees, leave the stumps n they regrow next season, raising chickens, pigs, farming oats, wells, id like to see horses and horse riding. i wana see way more buildings options, if you combined this game with medieval dynasty youd have the perfect zombie survival game.
Do you think they will ever update character deaths? Or I guess the option to be able to view the headstones in your community and remember who died and how? I feel like that’s one thing I always wished the developers would touch upon because sometimes I forget who died in my community and I think it would make it more meaningful, especially for the characters you miss the most

@@somethingcliched4921 I don't have a next generation console or a PC, but if I did I would hope that it would make a difference.
SOD2 is absolutely one of the best zombie games ive played. I honestly only have 3 request for the next title:
1-City maps like SOD1
2-Since they are doing animal zombies, zombie snakes
3-weather change/season change that effects your base & how zombies operate
Fair enough would love a city map and weather system, also would be cool to have gun customisation adding attachments etc
For real that would be nice. Imagine the threat of having to fight wild animals in the snow mountains rain forest and woods.
I want another higher difficultly
I pre-ordered mine back in 2018, and I'm still playing going on 6 years now, that is the longest I've ever played a game, it's that damn good, however I don't think state of decay 2 is as hard as state of decay 1, state of decay 1 was brutal in my opinion
Also I really want a great coop experience. SOD2 multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired.
For me One thing that annoys me Is the lack of more customization of outfits.we have so many cool outfits that we could unlock..please add the posibility tò find all the outfits
THIS!
I read on reddit of so many possibilities..we have sewing as a trait yet we cant create outfits?it would add a new use for that trait
Why do people care about this? I really really do not understand this like its just clothing we already have to much such a waste if time
I speak for myself but i like my characters to have a certain look..i would like the posibility tò have pistol holsters and gloves at least tò add tò my characters..i dont like to see my characters with invisible holsters for pistola..think about a cowboy with a "big iron on his hip" in a leather holster
Honestly, they should add some more or more variations every update or just every now n then. Would love to get those vest, bandanas, balaclava, ski masks, glasses n eyewear maybe, first responder uniforms, military uniforms, gloved outfits and more

Department of security
Etc
And who you appoint as leader effect everyone who falls under that department
Ya I remember when I saw a tip on my loading screen telling me that "every inch is crawling with zombies. No where is safe." So it's good to hear about the new zombie spawns
What would be goodd, is being able to completely clear zones, finite zombies so you could completely disinfect a map.
Yeah, just having a game option "zombie respanw - off/on" would be awesome. Just the choice. Sometimes I want to play in respawn hell but sometimes I just want to liberate the entire map
I'm trying to loot every building on the map before changing, it would be very handy.
Yeah people even made a mod for that. So you start with a map FULL of zombies which clears up all the way to nothing by killing plague hearts.
@@ZeroXSEED Any idea what it is called?
@@loungelizardsss Realistic Spawn, its a mod that makes game start harder then progressively easier the more you clean hearts. Zombies are gone when you clean the hearts.
i wish this game had more of a rts side feature, like outpost expansion base building and city control and sieges. like really big settlements and td aspects to it. aside from that this game is pure golden.
i wish that too but since i realize it have xbox crossplay also...
nah, i wont hope much... more like engine limitation...
Would love some more depth to the Outpost and Base building as well. That has kind of always been the main selling point to me.
I do wish they would add more outfits in the game especially military and police I have a full settlement of army and police veterans I just want them to look the coolest
No fr
wish modders would do this
Police uniforms aren't coming. They confirmed years ago that was a no-go.
@@kombatant2154 Pretty sure there are costume mods in nexus
I made all my survivor dress in US Marines camo pattern
Bro that war cry at 1:50 killed me 😂
How far we've come, since you first datamined Black Plaguehearts! I never dreamed it would be this much fun. It's like a whole new game. Very scary. Always love your videos!
Yeah I know! That was awhile ago too. The game has come super far and still being updated? Nuts! Thanks for the comment ♥
5:45 This is just me but I feel like that's the entire point of this genre, players are living in a world where the problem...is people! Well, people turned into monsters but the sheer population density is what really brings you down, not so much the zombies themselves. This is the reason I feel why "zombie games" in general have never quite captured the full scope of of this genre because ya there's supposed to be MILLIONS of them! But I digress, I'm still happy to see this new change coming up and that they're still working on this game, incredible.
Population density is the key factor. God help anyone in Manhattan but if you're in some crossroads town in the middle of nowhere a day's shamble from the nearest city you might spot ONE every few miles. That precisely what was being talked about. Higher density in areas that make sense and lower likewise in areas that make sense as opposed to just appearing constantly from thin air because video game. I'm interested in seeing the feedback on it for sure.
so true and kind of unfair to have a freak spawning on ur back just right after u look away for second. ive had that one time spawned a horde with a plagued juggernaut on an escort mission. rip that guy
I’d like a slider in the options menu to change the frequency of other communities/survivors requests. I always come back to this magical game, but also every time I get burnt out because it feels like I’m playing’Trumbull Valley Stress Simulator’….
There is so much to do and explore in this game. The emergent gameplay opportunities that that provides is incredible, but it gets killed by all those requests over your radio; I feel I never really have the time to play the game at the pace it deserves.
I wish they'd do it up like Project Zomboid. Let us customize the game up the wazoo.
I want state of decay 3 man
Mee tooooo 😢
Same here i I can't wait
Monkey paw curls.
Sounds amazing actually. Always pissed me off when I would literally full clear an area and 1min later there is 10 new Zs standing there
Don't the black hearts have a weakness you find by collecting samples from people around the area?
Yeah, a "weakness". One of mine was weak to bullets. On a fresh community. Of course I have 200+ spare 7.62 cal bullets in my locker. Which it needed to go down. Didn't help that it spawned in the middle of the map with a growing influence radius. Plus hyper alert zombies. Because that goes along well with having to use guns. Did I mention this thing was located in the bathroom, so you had no clear line of sight from the outside?
Yeah, black plague hearts CAN be challenging fun. They can also be game breaking BS.
They're taking way too fucking long for State of Decay 3
SOD3 Wishlist
1. Dynamic Weather
2. Actual Scope View, not just a crosshair that gets smaller!
3. Base building, having zombies just break open a gate/door is LAME (you mean to tell me a group of survivors couldn't reinforce a gated house/building?
4. Better AI NPC's (good/bad/neutral) that actually are wandering around the map doing what they normally would independent of what the player is doing, unless the player actually interacts with them or they have ill intentions and detect the player.
5. Larger maps
6. City maps similar to SOD1
7. A Skill tree system rather than the SOD2 stat/star system. Be able to be good at a variety of things, rather than locked into one style of fighting/shooting.
And customizing your characters name because I’m tired of having dumb randomly names for the characters
no companion/follower tune ?
we just need "wait here", and "stay close" command, or auto retreat at certain % of hp.
so we can REALLY bring follower on lethal...
also the zombie spawn that follow example of tv show ?
no they arent, on tv/movie if u see a bed empty there will be still empty after you doing 360 rotation.
Now whay would be real cool, is if the area had a limit as well. Its a small town 5000 people so if i killed 4999 there would only be one zombie left. So you could clear out a town for say a daybor two till a new heard wonders in.
I love how these updates are basically opportunities to test mechanics that can or will be used in 3. It's smart and a way to refine for 3 before release. Idk if all developers use updates in this way for other games, but they should. Not only does it make it look like you care about the current community of players, but it also helps you with your next product.
The game needs a progression update in the sense you can colonize (more bases and bigger population) clear a map of zombies and move to the next map which will be harder. Make a new map, new enemies maybe infected wildlife, mutated human centipede bugs or a "creep" like the zerg that infests zones and have tentacles. Also a flamethrower would be great lol
Does this mean there's no more spawner houses in Lethal?
For those who don't know, in Lethal, entering a house may cause around 40-60 to spawn in small pods over and over again for no reason.
W sunny keep it up brotha u are creating the most awesome content Edit: Why did the heart on my comment get removed
NO CLUE but i GAVE YOU ANOTHER HEART! Super duper Strange! Thanks Savage for the comment!
@@SunnyGamesYT no problem my dude
infinite zombie spawning is lame af. about time they tried to fix it... I just really want SoD3 though.
Im just bloody waiting for SoD3 😢❤
@@tslater2005 SOD3? I've read it'll take a few more years. Like 2027 or later.
@@Numbono my guess is, we will hear something about release time in this year. We'll see..🍀
This is probably one of my top 3 games I'm holding out on for this decade. I genuinely hope they take as much time as they possibly need to finish world building, mechanics, multiplayer etc, it has potential to be one for the ages; nothing else compares!
Dream big.
We also want new maps, vehicles, weapons, more goals, armor like (apocalyptic) outfits.
im still waiting for them to remove the coop looting bs, let us loot whatever we want
Just want some characters that haven't been beaten with the ugly stick. Enclaves that actually do stuff besides whining to you for supplies would be nice too. Why does everyone have your radio frequency and expect you to drop what you're doing to do them a favor again?
I guess the updates over the years are sort of nice, but they never address the true problem of this game. It's an empty world that quickly becomes delivery driver simulator for a bunch of ungrateful, passive aggressive, randomly generated bot-personality enclaves. The other thing to do is clear out plague hearts until you go insane. I don't have high hopes for 3.
i would love to be able to customise our base a bit more, even if its just adding defences or spray painting things a certain colour
I just recently re-downloaded this game and noticed some differences with the limited time I had to play the game. I did not know how many things has changed but I am very happy with them!!
I could never understand why not just at least fix it a bit by not allowing zombies to spawn within a certain proximity of players.
Wushu just announced in the SOD2 discord (ptr channel) that the new spawning changes have been cancelled
That headless curveball has my attention. I've always maintained that compared to SOD1 the Zeds in 2 feel like they're walking around with water balloons for heads which pop if you look at them wrong. In SOD they were frightening, they felt solid, and it wasn't hard to get in over your head without realizing it. In 2 you mow them down by the dozens so bringing back some of that struggle is a good thing.
SOD1 in general was more scary and frightening than SOD2. I felt like I nearly had a heart attack when I first got ambushed by a feral in SOD1. I never got that same kind of adrenaline-rushing fear moment in SOD2
@@Helvigster The first time I heard a feral howl in the woods outside the church wall at night I just froze. SoD1 ferals are scary in the daylight, in the woods at night when you can't see them they're terrifying.
A tip to make SoD2 more intense is to turn down the gamma so that night looks like night rather than daytime with a blue filter. When all you can see 20 ft away are eyes in the dark you don't feel much like blindly exploring.
@@Vipre- that's how I play, and I don't blindly explore, I don't even leave yhe house at night.
I love number 1 for its actual story and different communities (RIP police station guys and the judge they got hammered by a horde) but I was less frightened since blood plaque and hearts weren’t a problem except for my one guy that got it randomly rip. While in number two I won’t go out at night since I’m playing on the hardest difficulty and the plaque actually has me scared.
Need more Hat variety and clothes. I like the cowboy hats but man they are the majority
I hope sod 3 can have a multiplayer system were you could interaction with random plays and you can chose like passive or aggressive servers pve or pvp
An ambitious feature I’d love to see is a solo survivor play through. Maybe in state of decay 3
Agreed, and you should be able to sleep/rest when you’re fatigued/injured. I feel like that’ll make the game more fun for me rather than having to control each character at some point through the game
there is a small update that i would love so much and its so simple i want to be able to change my hair style it would be so awesome
On the 5 minute mark, I kinda disagree, zombies could be anywhere at anytime, and especially spawning in the places you won't want zombies, it feels very horde like, as it would be, although the visual of seeing them spawn is disappointing ect the ratio of humans to zombies is something like 1: 150k, I'd expect to see zombies in almost every nook and cranny (just my opinion tho, so exited for SOD3 😄😄)
And the survival of the fittest aspect will be IMMENSE making sure only the best of characters survive in your run-through (on harder difficulties)
I love the game! The warehouse needs to become a base. Maximum people should be 20. New territories. Other survivors should be able drive to your base to pickup items.
One of my immediate requests when Boons and Banes were discovered was to be able to select if you wanted only negative events. The level of personalisation in the menus is awesome - even though I haven't yet tried them out! But watching this video makes me want to try right away! Great video Sunny, very intrigued as to what new spawn mechanics might look like. 👍😎
Yeah it really is a lot of fun and I know you'll be enjoying these menu's with your channel! Thanks as always Guru
will there be a way to turn off the "Special" infected? I use mods right now to do that for a more Romero like zombie experience.
One of the things that always kept me from playing Lethal was the abusive respawn of zombies, maybe with this update I will finally have a chance to play on this difficulty, and speaking of difficulty I believe that increasing the number of zombies has not proven very effective, Since there are people who play on lethal difficulty easily, I think it would be interesting to further ration access to plague cure items, or implement some type of mechanic where the player who is bitten by a zombie is definitely doomed to die. in a few days or hours, in any case it is a good update and preparation for mechanics that can be used in the next game in the series.
i definitely think a added customization would be cool it would make worlds outfits weapons and characters so much more unique and more fitting to your play through.
Being able to keep growing and have multiple main bases would be amazing.
Sounds good, one thing i really wish they would add in sod3 is a freakless mode with more zeds, like the walking dead mod works basically, i hate having to rely on mods to play stuff how i like but it is what it is!!
we need a new map T-T like a map with beach and near beach base!
The plague hearts awakening when threatened or if you caused to much havoc in a certain area completely changed the game for me for ever. Because it meant my usual tactic of picking away at them little by little to expand my influence doesn't work anymore. Because as soon as i kill one it starts an arms race between me and the hearts. So now I have to play extremely stealthy until I have enough firepower and resources to launch an assault. Which combined with me not being able to claim any outposts unless all hearts in the area are destroyed is painful. It forced me to get my resources through bartering with enclaves and looting.
Everyone gangsta til the black plague heart spawn
I love how compassionate the studio and devs are with still updating SOD2 while making the new SOD3. I feel like the curveballs rejuvenated the game, after while it can become stale in my opinion. Also the latest update is amazing dropping off rucksacks at outpost 2 or higher has literally been a game changer love it.
I like the concept of the outpost sacks but never found it useful. I love the idea of a "Safe" house so I always end up surrounding my base with outposts so I can actually chill at base. With these better Spawns, maybe I'll start using them as FOBs again

Is there an ETA for update 37?
I wish at night that there was security perimeter lights like in the military like hesko barriers and huge lights maybe pulsar to draw in zombies for extra xp and influence
holy sh1t. thats my only complain in the game. the reason i mostly play on green zomby diff and lethal all else i h8 the constant zomby spawns
SO I don't think I mentioned this in the video but the constant zombie spawns and the zombies calling OTHER zombies is def super frustrating at times and leads me to running around in circles line of sighting until I can have a moment to breath lol SO I PERSONALLY CAN NOT WAIT For this update and hopefully they can nail it!
@@SunnyGamesYT for real it is super frustrating
Yeah I’m with you on that. The constant spawning felt really annoying to deal with and if they pull of these changes it will be so much better.
The fact that I can be driving at 35mph and a plague bloater horde can spawn in my back and passenger seats is infuriating.
Can't even hear the video out... REALISTIC ZOMBIE SPAWN!!! thats literaly my biggest wish since start... specialy if accesible for modders. The SINGLE biggest bad thing about mods like "The Waking Dead" with no specials but more hordes and zombie density was that they JUST spawned in right next to you... you scout out a house... its empty... but right as you walk in and "activate" the spawn the living room next to you suddenly has 20 Z's... if this gets better i love it.
In state of decay 3 i want to see huge hordes with hundreds or thousands of zombies on screen and an option to decide what can of zombies pretty much like project zomboid and imagine having opportunity to have hordes of sprinting rage filled zombies that if any blood get into mouth or eyes of survivors they become 28 days later styled zombies.
Great video man! My mom and I have finally made the transition over to Dread Zone difficulty, and it's been so much more fun and seemingly realistic for us to how it might actually be in the zombie apocalypse!
Can only imagine how insane Lethal will be for us when we get there...
Thanks for the video and adding the interesting comments from the Undead Labs developer. Hoping we get to see some State of Decay 3 footage at the Xbox Direct in June!!!
That’s awesome and I’m rooting for you both to kick dread in the butt!
Zombie spawn have been the biggest problem in the entire franchise.
Oh man, I’m looking forward to realistic zombie pop. Project zomboid has complex spawn/migration cells and it works so well.
I love State of Decay - time to jump back on it seems….
Same
I feel like building density should scale directly with zombies spawn rate
Realistic zombie spawns was something I was hoping for, it felt like was too much especially around the plague hearts in rural areas. Im ready for it
Man I love the new update with the new stuff but damn everytime I call for a trader now it seems to glitch after ringing the dinner bell afterwards we'll 1st the haven device now sucks always goes down and takes forever to charge so really worthless and after killing the zombies 2 I can't access my storage inventory or interact with the traders or my other characters and if I reset the game I lose my trader really annoying was never a problem before
So will they then use some kind of zombie density markers on the map or are we just supposed to assume that just because it's a town it will have higher zombie density?
How about adding motorcycle?
Whenever someone asks me for a good Zombie game, i always say SoD 1/2.
Yeah getting into it is a bit finicky but once you got the hang of it, the game is so much more enjoyable in a long term playthrough than any other.
Nothing compares. Especially not TLoU. (Even less Part 2).
Curve balls are a fun idea but my crashes so often since that update ive kinda quit playing after coming back after a year or two off.
Got me interested again, sounds like 1 step closer to creating a super noob mode LoL i like the game but I suck at it, increased difficulty mechanics made me stop playing. I just want to win not be bombarded with zombies every 5 seconds.
Though at the same time i appreciate the insane difficulty efforts they’ve put in. Its always modders making things harder which restricts it to pc only and people like you need to be challenged and when sunny out there using cheese moves you know the devs done an amazing job on it.
i hope state of decay 3 adds a under ground bunker my main complaint is they dont have anything like that in state of decay 2 we need more cooler bases better yet custom bases we can choose and build from ground up
I hope this update will never freeze while playing thrunbull valley in update 36
I hope state of decay 3 has a city map it would be insane with this update or even like actual military bases with unique characters it has so much potential
Trying to play this on lethal.seems impossible.Oh well,glutton for punishment!
All i want is more options for bases that don't look like crap, is that too much to ask for? 😂
I would love to see a lone survivor game mode. Where it is just you trying to survive.
Oh god yea more survival and less community management
Dude i had no idea this game was still getting updates
The game should spawn with one set of zombies, no respawn. Busier areas being more dense. And player actions can drastically effect theit movement and behaviors
Then, have multiple off map spawning points where hordes of zombies enter the map, wander in a direction, and either spread out (disparate/break up), stay a wandering horde, or infect a building/s.
What you do in game can affect the number and density of incoming hordes (like 5 level 3 hordes, etc)
Off map spawns don’t necessarily need to be at the edge of the map btw.
What is the AR you are using with the red dot looking scope?
I'd love them to introduce bikes, both motor and pedal
This is very good ! It gets annoying like zombies spawning everywhere and also when I clear a place they spawn again...
As a bearded man . The lack of bearded men in SOD was always disappointing. Lol it's the apocalypse for God sake! Lol you think all these guys are shaving every morning?!?! I was pumped for sasquatch in thr first game cause it felt like i was playing myself ...BRING BACK THE BEARDED WARRIORS
The thing that has always bothered me about this game (which gets even more irritating in general) is not so much the spawning of general zombies, but the spawning of freak zombies and freak hordes specifically. Like, I can open my save file and do LITERALLY NOTHING, and within two minutes there will be no less than three hordes, two screamers, a feral, three bloaters, and at least one juggernaut within the freak detection of my base. I can go to an area, feel confident that I drew the attention of any zeds in the area, take two steps towards a nearby building to loot, and suddenly a feral horde spawns like 5 feet to me left and is on top of me almost before I even know they're there. And, of course, the infamous road bloaters.
So yeah, hopefully if they're working on zombie spawning, they're also working on frequency/range of freak zed spawning.
holster for pistol in every outfit.. not just military outfit or any outfit with boots
I stopped playing the game after the Winter because the game was just super easy for me even in the maximum difficulty it was like walking in the park, I even finished the game several times without shooting a single bullet thanks to my repetitive crossbows , after playing the game for several years I have more than 40 repetitive crossbows in my legacy pools , so this update I will definitely come back first I'm gonna play it with the help of bullets just to be warmed up and then I will play it without firing a single bullet, I hope this time the game can force me to at least having a side arm all the time, because last time I played it on lethal I didn't even have a side arm let alone a proper gun like that AK 47 with that heli magazine (150 bullets) I also bought more than 15 of them but the first one I found on some rooftop when the game was full of bugs several years back, but those guns never spawn in lethal so I bought them because they are cool 😁😁😁😁 but nothing is that repetitive crossbow, that's indeed is the best weapon of the game in any difficulty I hope I see this crossbow in sod 3❤️❤️❤️ who ever made that crossbow for the game is a true legend, all hat's off for the creator of that crossbow 👍👍👍👍 also English is my second language so yeah my English isn't really good
Dang I’ll be deployed before they add anything worthwhile like stuff you can find and collect a new weapon M4-CQBR Military new military helmets Green, Desert, Urban, BDU, Winter to match the tacticals, make a police outfit out of the red talon soldier or something hoping when I get back they added all of this
State of Decay was mediocre because the spawn system was absolutely immersion breaking. 100 zombies killed? Spawn behind you when you leave a foot from the area. It was so immersion breaking, I just deleted SOD2 after like 15 min.
I wish we could get an option to clean up the roads. Like when we clear things in bases.
Slaloming with the uneasy driving mechanics is frustrating. Especially as you can't drive for 2 seconds before a zombie jumps on your car.
In the first game you could get into most vehicles that weren't total wrecks and drive them off the road because there was no fuel mechanic
Finally at least it feel worth to clean the place out. I hope they add also more recruits.
id like to see much bigger maps, and more maps. id like to see an option for more survival and crafting mechanics. ie chopping down trees, leave the stumps n they regrow next season, raising chickens, pigs, farming oats, wells, id like to see horses and horse riding. i wana see way more buildings options, if you combined this game with medieval dynasty youd have the perfect zombie survival game.
This has to be one of your favorite games in State of Decay 2
Dude Im so hyped for State of Decay 3!
Do you think they will ever update character deaths? Or I guess the option to be able to view the headstones in your community and remember who died and how? I feel like that’s one thing I always wished the developers would touch upon because sometimes I forget who died in my community and I think it would make it more meaningful, especially for the characters you miss the most
Great video, thanks for the info! 🔥 I am sorry I am late😂
