Fire breathing screamers, plague walls, and gargantuan juggernauts- what’s not to love

No one deserved to be at Undead Labs more than you Brian! Keep up the good work. As far as SOD3 goes, I want them to take their time and release a polished masterpiece rather than russing it out.

Your passion and excitement for the State of Decay series brings me absolute joy!

WHEN you have a character in SoD3, @Brian Menard, they should make him sneeze randomly with your weird-ass sneeze and attract nearby zombies! "Funny sneeze" is the trait and is a positive morale booster for the community.

6:19 Brian's smile ready to Hadouken!! that juggernaut lol.

Having weather tied to specific maps would make some sense. Trying to have four seasons while on one map would be sort of weird considering most games only take place over a few weeks. So having the snow map and rainy season map could be good.

I really want to see: -Car crafting and customization (like in Days Gone) -Basic crafting benches on your vehicle (molotovs, bolts, bandages) -Armor crafting and customization -More variety of bases with customizable slots -Some horror-ish elements when exploring highly infected areas at night -Boss enemies where you have to fight with your whole community in an infected area and you can switch between people during the battle What are some other ideas??

Can't wait for SoD 3, super hyped for it but if there is 1 thing I'm wishing for, it would be that I hope there is a more "advanced" survivor customization. Doesn't even have to be creating your own survivor from scratch, but I mean the clothing system. Instead of simply changing a full outfit / hat like in SoD2.. you can change shirts, add or remove a jacket, switch the pants, change boots, add gloves or even a mask, etc etc. Something I always wanted in SoD 2, allows me to be more immersed with my community with how I wanted each survivor to look within the group and be completely different compared to other communities I created where everyone just wore the hoodie fit, which I still wish I could add gloves to.

Thanks for uploading Brian. For the devs: I have over twenty years of gaming experience, one thing i always wanted to see in SOD was the ability to develop or build your base how you wanted. I don't mean have a small or large plot and build a workshop, or farm etc into that empty slot. I mean firstly decide where you want to place the small or large slot manually, and then place your choice of what you want, also be able to extend fences/walls etc and use different materials, wood, sheet metal, concrete. Or better yet have the ability to convert any POI into a base, the amount of players i have heard say..i wish i could change the Hopsital on the hill to a base, or the large warehouse in Trumbull valley near the damn, etc, etc..i feel that is one thing that has always been lacking with this game.

You know it’s getting real since he now has a SoD 3 information playlist lol

This is one of the main reasons I bought a Series X so I'm super happy (and relieved) they went in this direction

im glad they're taking their time, i was there waiting for sod2s release and it really did take a year before that game to really seem like a finished game. ended up being my favorite zombie game ever in a few years and what i wanted from it. state of decay 3 has so much potential to take that spot and then some

Highly recommend to use < and > buttons to move frame by frame when a video is paused. Helps a lot with taking the best shots the fastest way.

Integrate all SOD2 maps into a single large map for SOD3, adding Mount Tanner and Danforth. Each area as a specific biome, Mount Tanner with snow and Danforth as a radioactive area, which would justify new mutations...

A ferral will burst out the mass next to the repair van

You are THE SOD2 guy in my eyes, glad to hear you spent time with UL and to hear the positive things you had to say.

It felt eerily similar to SOD2, I want to see more of that first trailer vibe! Zombie deers and snow!

What we want to see in State of Decay 3 1. Improved driving mechanics 2. Drivable motorcycles and especially the heavy ones 3. A ability to use zombies for our interests 4. Improved character stories 5. Firecamp to let our community set around for a cards game or a story to tell 6. A way where we can lure a zombie to our camp lab and do some tests/researches on it 7. And i hope the characters focus more about other character's death, not like in SOD 2 throw a sad line or two... 8. Animals the ones that could have your back and help if you're in danģer Like dogs and foxs Thanks.

If ferals can climb on cars I'm gonna be screwed

You think they'll bring back the ability to set up fortification (Well.. nail shut windows) like we could in SOD 1? I kind of miss that ability, was hoping they'd expand on it even more for SOD2 but instead they had it removed :/

We are so back lfg 🔥

Let them cook what ive seen in this trailer looks great so far

Absolute 🔥🔥 First and Third Person mode both, let us pick what we want and when ... more options the better - and changeable over the shoulder swappable please for 3rd person. Also gave UL a shoutout from us thanking them as you asked, both on their X and on their discord.

🎵Bronto gas watch it pour it's made from a dinosaur 🎵

THE ONLY REVIEW THAT MATTERED TO ME

Rewatching this now. But that bulb reminds me of the plague wall. Maybe that’s how the plague vines spread and we may have to destroy it to stop the spread of the vines.

Brian's right, folks, in saying we shouldn't rush the release of SOD3. Remember what happened to "No Man's Sky" and "Cyberpunk", eh? That's right, those were a disaster at lunch and last thing we'd want is for State of Decay 3 to go through the same, so it might take longer, but at least we're hopefully going to get a more polished and complete game after all that wait :)

Its going to be amazing I hope they take their time with it.

Woo been waiting for this!!!! Let’s go

38:55 not gonna lie,that van was your last drive in Brian🤣

Yall heard the man: LET EM COOK 🔥 lol

Watching from philippines. Thank you!

Omg i cant wait when I saw this trailer I was like I can't wait to see what brian menard thinks!!!!!!

Thanks Brian! I am so hyped for this game!!!!

GASSED! Can't wait for the the SoD3 playthrough Brian!!! Gonna be a banger man.

I love the fact that you stopped in the middle of a sentence to take time for your children. That makes me a fan even more!

Hey brian just wanna say love your videos on sod2 you got me into this game and helped me get brave enough to try dread difficulty even though I've nearly broke my mouse a few times with stress getting messed up lol but keep up the great work bro

We did kind of seen some small gameplay. Where they were saving the girl on the van. Its looks good. Im gunna be excited to see B playing this sod3.

In the first trailer they suggested that animals could also be infected but showed none in this trailer.

Just like that, I’m back to Xbox. This is the way.

Let’s do this

Really hyped for this 🔥

I just hope there is a breakdown style game mode like sod1 that’s something I missed having in Sod2.

as soon as I saw the trailer I thought of you 😂

If you look at headlights as he turns water is in the shine

Comments count! Can't wait to see you crash your first car in SoD 3!!

Undead Labs working with The Coalition has really paid off on this game. Can’t wait to play this game.

I think The Bronto gas station fell apart because it was hit by a car. I hope the time jump isn't too big. I'm still hoping to see Izzbee, Hoffman or Lily.

Bro you've earned my subs ❤

Brian on A three hour trailer breakdown of SoD3. I'm in.

My theory is, in the trailer, the girl that gets jumped by all the zombies with the hunting rifle, i think she was trying to take on a plague heart. Why else would there be a ridiculous amount of plague in a building that's glowing a ridiculous amount?

I Knew you wouldnt let us Down Brian !

I can see how the multiplayer aspect was overlooked in this trailer via the radio call because its typical that enclaves typically call out for help. So it easily can portray an enclave element rather than a multiplayer element. They definitely did an amazing job on this trailer overall.

Bro! I am finally getting to watching this man! I held off while I did my own review as I'm pretty sure you have already nailed *everything* and didn't want to lose my fire 😄 Now I will see what I missed !

I wonder if the glowing egg looking thing could be what bloaters evolved into ( not being able to walk anymore) so now they are more like landmines.

wait....thats a Dino plushie keychain of the Bronto gas station! Homie who died was from Trumbull Valley!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

1:07:28 is this providence ridge? The woods and the gas station and the stores across the street remind me of providence ridge

Tbh I was starting to think SOD3 was a myth like a Black Plague Heart, i was so happy to see the Trailer and cant wait for more to come

It's called a rainforest for a reason it rains quite a bit it doesn't rain all the time but the trees are so big that they put out hundreds of gallons of water and yeah typically when you go to the lake or in the forest there's usually a lot of water

41 minutes in - I think you first see those balls inside the plane in Heartland when the army guy wants to test his gas grenades

A couple things I would like to say. I just started the video. The sod 3 trailer looks like it will have drop in co -op similar to division 2 does where you can send out an alert to ask for help and people can join your session. But you could lose your character…ie bring the annoying one who keep starting fights….Also after watching Brian playlist of the game mode breakdown both recently and 2 years ago. I want the normal zombies and feral of SOD 1, they seem way more of a challenge than what we have in the current game. Just lower their health of the lowest difficulty levels. It’s almost sod 2 normal zombies are a slower and wait their turn to hit you unless their sod 1 counterparts. And breakdown ferals…seeing a pack of those would be terrifying. Also facilities management of SOD 1 was better as well. And lastly want a new enemy type and also zombie animals as well…predators and prey.

I would say the time skip is 3-5 years a Kmart closed and about 3-5 years later and it looked like it was in an apocalypse

been playing since the demo launch of Sod1 on xbox. I hope they take their time with 3 as I've done nearly everything, in sod2, from homeless runs to 0 guns, to 1 survivor etc. and I would love a game I can play however I want again. So I am not worried about when they release it. I hope they release it in 2 years, that way we know all of the expectancies are most likely going to be met.

I would love if they added first person for that extra realism feel and a city map would be sick, as well as realistic graphics for the zombies and combat and more base customisation like being able to build defences anywhere around your base or in it (that it fits into)

I’m hyped for this!! Sounds like a lot of the wish list items made it into the game. I’m here for the crafting and upgrading of gear!! Can’t wait to try out this multiplayer aspect as well.

The over the shoulder angle for SOD3 trailer was throwing me off. Hope they go back to the SOD2 angle for sure. Looked like it's hard to get a bead on the zombies.

Opinion: if I had to guess on what those egg looking sacks could be. Maybe sleeping or hybernating ferals? 🤔 I would love to see maybe some hybrids. Example: feral Juggernaut. Feral that's build more towards being tanky like a juggernaut. Or a juggernaut feral that's build more towards the agility of a feral. I would like to see if maybe if ferals could be extremely agile. Like could jump on top of a car from the ground then from the car to a roof of a building. Maybe run along walls. I feel like seeing a feral rip it's way through its own kind just to get to you as a player would be terrifying. Maybe ferals are build different and approach more like a cougar or a mountain cat. Sneaking up on you. Or staking the player. Maybe they go from two legs to running on all 4 limbs. And able to run ( on 2 legs) and then go into cheetah mode at keep up with the cars... For me personally the multiplayer aspect of the game (or any multiplayer game) doesn't appeal to me. As I'm not a babysitter. & don't have time to hold people's hands who don't what their doing. Or will end up being a liability. E'm i asking that everyone is a pro. No. I'd rather deal with A.I. or solo than dealing with a 13yr old phone scrolling kid who's squeaky voice is constantly crying help through the headset every nano second. If I also had to guess on the plague system. I'd say maybe hearts could appear & get out of control like infestations. Maybe plague areas grow and consume more of the map. (Start small - grow massive) If left unchecked What were your thoughts on not seeing any guns suppressed? It's how many years into the future of this universe. & they haven't figured out that loud ass guns is a big no no. It's also mentioned the S.O.D.3 universe has been picked over. So super duper mart will likely be empty. But hunting seems to be a even less likely story seeing as how in the first trailer the doe/elk. Was totally infected. & will they become a threat. Unless you want to eat infected elk... The water is probably not any better. Not likely you'll find any good fish. My guess. Is seeds. & garden. Persistent maps would be nice for seasons starting in Jan ending with snow in Dec. To give that: day/week/month counter. time has passed feel. I don't like the idea of it always being snowing or always summer biome. 3 months per season is quite a long time. But you also get to experience it all instead of doing 4 different maps just to get a taste of different weather systems. It's my opinion. And my thoughts. Before any comment warriors came at me in the comment section. Keep in mind it's all good vibes and nothing but respect for everyone. I'm not discriminating anyone or anything. Everyone is loved and should feel welcome. ❤

Any story canon relating to past characters? What I want to know

If they add Wildlife I want to be able to save a wolf and keep it as a companion train it to drop off explosives by the zombies and then run back

What happend to the infected annimals from the first SOD 3 trailer? Brian, anything you can share on this?

Shotgun focus seems like devs maybe hinting at weapon customization.

What I think is if it’s a new game and we all have to restart are communities they should put a mission at the beginning of state of decay 3 of are forever community getting overwhelmed and everyone dying then after the short game play of trying to defend your base the game will start with a cinematic were you choose your lone survivor that makes a new community Kind of like the tutorial mission in state of decay 2 just it’s endless zombies until your wiped out

I do hope you can invite random people into your game/ get invited by randoms to play together in this world. The random matchmaking in sod2 is great.

Have you seen the Infection Free Zone game that came out in April, i think. It's a zombie survival game. You can actually put your hometown in the game lol

The first trailer wait is that doc Mitchell from fallout new vegas 😂

Let them cook at least one LEGENDARY CLOWN JUGGERNAUT. (that would make funny noises if hit with melee)

I want a more realistic state of decay where we have needs bars like the Sims4 and get to build relationships.

Not sure if this was noted, but maybe Trecy will be around as a voice character regarding the plague walls?

I expect they do better for the Hard Hitter trait that upgrade the damage rate. That guy would be the ferals smasher head😅

1:32:40 It’s funny cuz I joined games where the person was on their car with a bunch of zombies surrounding them

Don't forget don't forget the narrative bring back civilization in all forms

whoa that fps on the 2nd trailer indicates they are a long ways away from

Brian.....hey Brother sorry I missed the Live, I just got back from the doctor so I WILL catch up later.....PLEASE buy Crystal the RIGHT camera so Her videos are Clear !!!!!...... yes, I always watch Her too !!!

This game looks badass. I need a new tv and console when it drops

Seeing the new Juggernauts and Screamers makes me very afraid of what they've done with the ferals.

might just be a plague melon or plague pumpkin. kinda looks like it's something growing on a vine. maybe somekind of birthing pod for a new type of special.

. deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources. "universities offering an eclectic mix of courses"

Thanks for explaining now I understand

That trailer is way different than the old one

I like the idea of crafting and all that stuff but I don't want it to be the only way to obtain guns, crossbows etc. I'd like to be able to go on a looting trip and find these things in the world from time to time. I bet they will also be obtainable through missions and trading ofc

The gun is a honey badger

@Brian Menard one of the things from 2 that I hope they address is the “plague sample miracle grow fertilizer” Tressie was cookin up in Trumbull Valley 🤢 my friends and I have an ongoing theory that the deer from the original SoD3 trailer ate some of Tressies “miracle grow” and went crazy. Seemed like a lot of foreshadowing when Lily was talking to Tressie and was like “let’s distribute it all over”. If not at the least, let it be the cause for more mutations among the freak Zombies. Sorry for rambling haha 😅

The small sub gun looks like a sig sauer MCX

Hope UL is not forgetting a lot of us prefer to play single player.

I enjoyed the breakdown as for my take about the snow in one trailer and this one having no snow what if that is a way to show the weather changing like the season changed and now we are in either after the melting of the snow or in the fall. To me it would be kinda like beating a dead horse with show us snow twice imo.

Id love to see the ability to enlist multiple followers, coupled with better AI behavior like stealth kills and not standing inside hordes. Imagine going on dangerous loot run with your gang, reminds me of filling a razorback full of marines in Halo 😂

That first SoD 3 trailer was def. CGI and it was way back in 2020.

BRO WHy not its LAVA ... 100% I DUB THEE LavaScreamer

I was thinking about the “normal” zombie at the beginning of the SOD 3 trailer. It looks like freaks have mutated, hopefully we’ll see “normal” zombies that look mutated - that first zombie looks like he became a zombie not long ago. But for zombies that have been zombies for years, it would be cool if they looked more monstrous.

Once infestations get too big they should turn into plague hearts. In sod2. Not sure what 3 will be like. Hopefully badass
