OK, so 15 is OK. Now the question is - buy for PS4 or Xbox One?

I've played it for several hours on Xbox.
The frame rate dipped for a second once, but that was nothing bad. However, it slowed to a crawl another time, when I used a turret to blow up a tank and kill zombies.
Other than that, it's been okay.

Ok after watching some of the streams I'd never recommend this version to whoever has the choice. The new UI looks painfully poor. A massive letdown.
Even having a dedicated button to bring up the map would've been better than this shit.
The missing online features are a shame.
Ultimately this looks like the worst available option to play the game.
If you have a WiiU, get it in it's intended and superior version, if not I still highly recommend the game, as even in this butchered port it's still one of my all-time favourite horror survival games.

My god. The FPS is 3...3 in 2 different places so far.
Also there seems to be a bug when a dead character interacts oddly with the geometry the framerate tanks to extraordinarily bad levels. Also weather impacts it, as does moving, and opening doors sometimes lol.
Talking to 2 reviewers in an IRC they got crashes. I did not which is nice.

No crashes here, in about 5-6 hours.
Sounds like they didn't fix some of the issues from the Wii U version, if this is the case. Damn shame. It's like Ubisoft doesn't want this game to succeed on any platform they release it for.
With the fanfare this got, its going to sell orders worse than it did on WiiU. The reviews are likely not going to help it given what we've heard so far (and seen with that god awful UI).

As I said in my review. New highs...and new lows. With the latter being the most noticeable.
No, it's only up on some region's console wise so it's likely they just hit the release early. Probably the morning still for PC and some console regions.
While I don't have any PC impressions I do have a Graphical comparison between the Xbox One version and the Wii U version:

That's great. I'm looking forward to all the reviews. But it isn't posted yet, right?

ZombiU vs. Zombi graphics and gameplay comparison (Wii U vs. PS4)

So, we can conclude the U version is still the best looking and performing. PS4 can't handle these filters.

What happened to the dirty lens effect, I thought it looked cool.
Or it's just a bad port made by the cheapest bidder.

Yeah, I liked it as well.

Was super excited until I saw the Eurogamer video. I guess I'll wait on it and see if they patch it first before buying the game 
Loved it on WiiU, and loving it on Ps4.
Works well without the WiiU Pad.
Haven't had any problems, so far.
If you or your Friends die, can you still raid/recover each others backpacks, and/or be notified when and where they've died, like the WiiU?
Please tell me they haven't cut that out of the Port, please......
That was awesome on WiiU

Whats this about leaving notes for other players? Is it similar to Souls series?
If you think "best looking" is the same thing as a god awful smudge filter.
They overused that way too much in the original.
To my understanding, they left it out. You cannot find any killed friends. Almost everything that made this game unique has been stripped off.

Was a while since I played it now, but unless I'm wrong you can only spray paint pre-made symbols to indicate what may or may not lie ahead. You can't write by free hand.

Wait a minute. You are kidding me. They seriously cut that part out?
Sounds like cheap port from initial impressions/media. Pity, I hoped Ubi were trying to take the franchise forward by expanding the platforms and would have invested enough in port to make it a good ambassador for the game.
Looks like they just decided to try and squeeze some quick bucks out of the game instead. Real shame buy Ubi gonna Ubi I guess.
Death of a franchise that never got to become a franchise?
What about PC - any word?

- No Gamepad or similar device. Map looks tacked on and removes immersion.
- Certain visual effects have been removed.
- You cannot find and loot any killed friends.
- You cannot leave messages for other players.
- No multiplayer
- Framedrops.
- Game crashes on consoles.
Dirty lens and chromatic aberration being "better effects" is subjetive tho.
Some people might appreciate their absence in other versions.
Other than that, Wii U version remains the definitive experience, yep.
They dropped the ball hard with this game.

Looks like this is the only good thing about the port.
It doesn't have better effects on WiiU. They removed an exaggerated smudge filter for Zombi. Love the original, but honestly I like it better without it. Made certain scenes awfaul since you couldn't see shit because of it.
The use of the gamepad does not equal a superior UI by the way.
Say what you want, but the gamepad is not what made the game great. It left the original crippled in some ways.They did however fail to create a fitting UI. It takes up too much space here it seems.
Whatever, then make believe I said removed effects, as Alistair said already it's opinion based. Not even gonna bother responding to the rest of this, people always gotta find some shit to argue about.
Yeah. Then don't post opinions as facts.

It's like Ubi purposely released this port to get killed immediately. There is no buzz, no media about this at all.
