• An exclusive new character for all “State of Decay” owners

• New weapons: under-barrel attachments and incendiary ammo
− Now if you find the right weapons, you can switch to an under-barrel grenade launcher or your assault rifle... or load incendiary ammunition into any shotgun, and take out crowds of zombies without even switching weapons.

• New music
− Featuring 30 minutes of intense new music from award winning composer Jesper Kyd.

• Community improvements
− The facility actions from “Lifeline” now show up in every version of the game, including ammo-refilling and snack-making at your base. NPC Enclaves are also getting a makeover, making it easier to trade and build trust with them.

It's a one damn fugly game for sure, but fun for some hours tho. Still can't see a reason to re-buy it if they can't be bothered to add co-op. Seems they take the lazy way for remastering, like many other devs these days.

This has that typical PC-look that I have grown so weary of, although in a much lower texture-res ... but Kudos to releasing un-doctored screens - an absolute rarity these days.

This seems like such a waste. SOD is hands down the best zombie game I've ever played, but this is clearly a quick cash in. Look, we added a vehicle and a character therefore it is completely overhauled! I was really hoping Undead Labs would've put the time in to create a sequel rather than spending all this time just adding a couple features and making it compatible with Xbone.

Developer note* If you are going to do a next gen version of a crappy looking last gen game, at least make it look like a last gen game. These visuals look poor for a 360 game, and they will stand out that much more in 1080.

Should have made SOD2 instead, ugly, cheap, tacky cash in, and I love the series having bought it on 360 and then twice on PC + DLC for the wife and I.

They work on a new game at the same time for sure. These remasters are usually done by few people out of the development team.

These images look upscaled. I'd be shocked if they weren't.

For anyone wondering, i played the game on pc max settings and it looked just as awful.
But thats a real shame, game-play wise i really enjoyed it and the only reasons it did not get more hours, was because of the whole presentation(animations, sound design, IQ).
