Are we getting old news then? As in news we already knew about? Lol.Sorry, I was being sarcastic :) I agree. Also, I enjoyed the "new news" phrasing; news is, well, new. It's not news otherwise lol

Hint to devs - do not post Facebook and Twitter posts saying "Look to our official website tomorrow for a very important call to action. We need your help!!!" and then "oh, easy guys, we need to manage your expectations here".
Do huh?
I don't want it to be a battle royal. I love the OG game. Just said it would work as a mode.

I can't say I'm not underwhelmed. I continue to be puzzled by marketing decisions.The blog post is up.

"Lower your expectations people! No, lower! Keep going! I'll say when!"thats like worse than I even imagined after they said to lower your expectations lmao
But you'll be able to eBay that baseball cap for $$$.As a huge video montage developer, this is major news to me. Wait. Actually no. Because the prize is game merchandise and they get a badass, professional-quality video out of it to hype up the game. Should be cash prize.
If you say "very important" announcement and say you need our help and then tease it for two weeks, you expect something. They've literally been hinting at this for two weeks, they said on instagram to keep checking Facebook, then on Facebook they said very important information would be coming "tomorrow". They literally teased and hyped up a video montage contest.
They teased it on Instagram 2 weeks ago saying to watch their Facebook page with "#stateofdecay2" and said on Facebook something "very important" would be announced tomorrow. It's not cool to do that much hype for a video montage contest. Whoever is in charge of marketing should be fired.Again, while it's understandable to get one's hopes up, Undead Labs never said major announcements themselves. A pinned message in Discord says,
"We thought we'd be able to give you new stuff this month. It might not happen because again, the process is set. But we want to (us AND MSFT). It's just a matter of waiting for that gate to unlock."
This contest is just giving fans something to do while waiting.

Game is almost finished according to Undead Labs, Game was rated by ESRB and they said they are ready to show gameplay but Microsoft keeps telling them not yet.Is this game coming out this year? Having my doubts, they have shown a 4minute trailer thats all
This is so weird though. Both Undead Labs and MS want to give us new stuff but are somehow unable to, because the process, which is set by them, is set. The gate, that they have the keys to, is locked.A pinned message in Discord says,

I think they said somewhere that Microsoft has a marketing embargo (with dates) for Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2 and Crackdown 3 and Undead is not allowed to share any information until Microsoft allows them to.This is so weird though. Both Undead Labs and MS want to give us new stuff but are somehow unable to, because the process, which is set by them, is set. The gate, that they have the keys to, is locked.
I'm disappointed, too, honestly. But their wording in their Twitter and Facebook posts never led me to expect major news on the game. "Very important call to action" and "We need your help" does not mean release date or beta announcement.They teased it on Instagram 2 weeks ago saying to watch their Facebook page with "#stateofdecay2" and said on Facebook something "very important" would be announced tomorrow. It's not cool to do that much hype for a video montage contest. Whoever is in charge of marketing should be fired.
Yeah, I don't get it either.This is so weird though. Both Undead Labs and MS want to give us new stuff but are somehow unable to, because the process, which is set by them, is set. The gate, that they have the keys to, is locked.
"Call to hation"
I'm not sure how "I hope" escaped that post.
