SOD 2 vs YOSE

[pasmon79]

I have not played SOD2 so i wish to inquire if game-play(not the animation models) and feel of zombie apocalypse has improved in SOD2 than SOD YOSE in terms of mission scripting, fate events etc.

They are really only similar... a lot of stuff was dropped, some was added, and it is somewhat more of an 'action' game.

 

Regular sickness is gone, but there is now blood plague that can kill and cause your characters to turn, like black death was originally described as.

 

Hostile humans are all over the place.

 

Missions have more variety, but fatecards are almost gone, with all that is left being occasional resource loss.

 

The survivors are randomized, with many more traits, bonuses, and every one eventually can reach a 'hero' status where they get an additional bonus. There are also a wider variety of skills and specializations.

 

You'd probably get a better idea by watching some of the youtube videos about the changes.

How long do you expect SOD YOSE will be playable and a target for modding?

It will be playable forever, as long as someone who has it is still interested in playing. Emulators and such allow games from the 1980s to still be playable.

 

As far as modding goes, there is a limit to how much data the game loads, so eventually it becomes a question of "Do I want feature A or B, because both won't work."

How much active is the SOD YOSE community as compared to sod2 and other zombie games?

There have been 19 mods total released here since 2018. Only four this year, two of which are just texture replacements, one which just does the exact same thing an older mod does, and one ini tweak.

 

Pretty much inactive, for the most part.

I guess the game is still active for modding. I have read some review missing the lack of variation in difficulty per level in sod2 compared to breakdown.
