I hadn't considered that, that'd be a rather nice UX upgrade. The Resident Evil Doors in the Wii version could be annoying.
30 FPS cap is sad though. I definitely don't feel a need to rebuy. Definitely targeted for people who couldn't play the original.
Wonder if the wide FOV is partly to compensate for the minimap.

Sounds like 60 fps (or more) on PC is easily attainable and thankfully the framerate is unlocked. I was worried it would have a 30 fps lock or something so I'm glad we dodged that bullet.

Usually indicates a CPU bound issue. Xbone CPU is a hair faster. Or just a result of the different tools, it's not like they went gung-ho on performance after all.
It's more that they didn't really bother to particularly improve it. IMO the gamepad features are greatly overstated in value, but this port offers so little changes that yeah I guess the gamepad is still a relevant plus. If I bought today I'm not sure if I'd trade the Resi doors for gamepad features though.

My guess is that the game profits from higher single CPU core speed. On Wii U it only ran on 3 cores after all.

Yup, get the PC version folks if you have a capable one. Plus there are now Reshade configs out.

I'm actually surprised the PC version even run at 60fps with Ubisoft poor track record on PC. But overall the way the handle ZombiU is just bad.
And the others versions cut out the multiplayer
Surprised that the OP didn't highlight that section of the article. The PS4, XBone, and PC versions cut out multiplayer.
Pretty big deal

It sounds like they made it easier BY DEFAULT, in terms of intentionally-limiting design decisions.
Things like the Gamepad, the filters, and the small FOV increased the feeling of vulnerability and claustrophobia. Those aspects seem toned down, from what I'm reading.
A least there are options so you can tweak it to how you like. I'm just not sure if this defeats the purpose or not.
Kind of reminds me of the new control scheme in REmake REmaster.

What a twist.

Th brightness looks all kinds of fucked up in the PS4/X1 versions.
DF is not making a big deal of it because their primary agenda is to compare graphics and performance.
Content differences like exclusive DLC/modes/whatnot are usually oneliners in their conclusion.
edit - oh I misread, you wanted OP to make a deal out of it.

30fps lock?
Oh well. Got my hopes ups since the trailers they released where all 60fps.
Port seemed like a bit of a mess anyway. Not a big loss to skip it.

Oh noes! Whatever shall we do :-( /s
Was this game any good? I thought it bombed critically?

No multiplayer on PC either? In other words, the PC version is definitive for performance and the Wii U version is definitive for features.

Seems like all UBI titles are not optimized properly in PS4 even though it has extra hardware resources but they do great job with Xbox one.
for 20 euro can't really complain all that much

Hmmm....slightly better performance in trouble areas on the XBone. Might be the first multiplat in a long time that I get for it.
What?
I knew about the localMP but that would really take away something special
Mixed reviews. Now a lot of people say it is one of the best survival horror games ever

Eh? No, it was one of the best Wii U launch titles; Gamespot hated it for some reason, but everyone else really liked it. Scores were either really high, or really low, there wasn't much middle ground.
I'm not impressed. Also, it holds it except when it doesn't.
Why everytime xbone runs better in the multiplat of the ps4, it's just for the (slight) faster cpu? I remember the same thing about GTA V, and it was totally wrong. It's almost useless to have a little faster cpu with inferior gpu/bandwith/fillrate. An hardware should be balanced in everything to obtain some sort of advantage in the performance, not just some boost here and there. I'm expect just the ESRAM could give some advantage on xbone, in limited scenario, with multiple buffer to handle (I have in mind The Witcher 3; ps4 shows tons of problems with multiple transparancies, because without those, it runs almost flawless). But I don't think cpu could give any tangible advantage, in all honesty. IMHO.
Killing your friends and taking their loot was one of the best features along with using the second screen. Shit was so tense when looking away from the tv to manage your inventory.
Multiplayer was pretty fun too.
I was hoping we could get a part 2 on Wii U with more melee weapons, more enemy variants, expanded multiplayer mode(maybe online).
Oh well, atleast I had a blast playing Zombi U.
No I can. This is super late and 20 bucks. I can probably spend that on a new game thats better. If you do such a port do it right or not at all.

That has been proven wrong over and over again, the xbox CPU has never given it any advantage in framerate outside of bad optimization on PS4 code. Some devs have even highlighted that you can get more out of the PS4 CPU, so I don't know why people keep repeating that. Well.... I know why...but lets keep it honest and factual please.
The elephant in the room is that this game is not running at 60fps, ok fine, does it run at a solid 30fps?...pshhh NO, it runs worse on the more powerful console, dips to 23fps and the like. Outlast looks better than this and runs at 60fps, this is just shameful.

This game must be CPU bound, can't be a shit port because, you know, that Wii U CPU is a beast.

Must admit, even with the removed multiplayer and the brightness level issues, still tempted to drop £15 and play through it again.
Hmm.
I was hoping the DF videos would help to put me off the game until it hit the sales and yet here we are...

Another game I never thought I'd play, and only heard great things about this title! Picked it up yesterday, gonna give it a spin after work today.
Might have been an oversight of mine, but that game just simple "came out" on Steam, no pre-release banner, no pre-order offering. I like when cool things are simply rolled out without much marketing.

To me it clearly sounds like a port that is only worth getting at a significant discount if at all. Actually this being Ubisoft I expect it to be a PS+ title down the line.

Which Devs?
Correct, but it was local multiplayer, and I don't see how you could possibly do it via splitscreen, meaning it'd have to be made online instead. It just wouldn't have been as easy to pull off as people are making it seem.

Not really unless you buy this on PC for 60fps. You expect better with the console version considering this is a Wii U launch title. Which btw started as a last gen game, don't know why people are bringing up the CPU in this thread.

Do people honestly think the marginal overclock on the Xbox One CPU is even capable of more than a 1-2 fps difference? That's being generous also.

As this is effectively an SP game now, I am picking the PS4 version for better and more friends.

Why is the PS4 dipping to 19fps on a WiiU game? I'd grab this in a Steam sale if you want it and have the option.
