I've never seen it

Shows some new locations.. at least to me.

Their approach to story-telling is intriguing. Curious to see if it ultimately works out.

cyberheater · (10-02-2012, 07:26 PM)

I still don't think it looks that special graphically but that was an interesting dev diary and I'm more interesting in the game after watching it then I was before.

There seems to be a rich and detailed back story which is welcoming.

Thanks for posting.

Great video thanks

Linkhero1 · (10-02-2012, 07:47 PM)

I was worried that they were going to skimp out on story. The game is shaping up great.

Wow. Can someone .gif 1:17-1:20? It looks almost real. First time I've really been impressed with this game.

Flat lighting and desaturated colors often looks really good in games.

Nice to have a daytime section lol

lordmrw · (10-02-2012, 08:15 PM)

I really like the lighting in this game.

Phife Dawg · (10-02-2012, 08:22 PM)

Quite some variety in the localities. Still not a looker but solid enough, now I just need to know whether it'll be cut in Germany. Any news on that?

Buy the austrian version. ;)

dyergram · (10-02-2012, 08:28 PM)

The only way I could be more hyped for this is if I could send it back to 12 year old me....

JDSN · (10-02-2012, 08:29 PM)

Im having my doubts about that hexagonal glare, unless the character has a visor on I dont get it.

Please dont turn into this game's black and white dead filter.

The story sounds great, am guessing your sent on 'missions' as oppose to some sprawling character lead story? Since the 'survivor' stuff is in the game, I hope that it feels like your treated as a distinct survivor each time than randoms, but obviously that might be difficult.

Trigger · (10-02-2012, 08:31 PM)

The premise really does sound interesting. Hopefully the full story delivers.

Donnie · (10-02-2012, 08:33 PM)

Looks great to me, no idea how anyone can say it doesn't. Anyway wish there was a better quality video, even the 720p version has lots of compression artefacts.

Grakl · (10-02-2012, 08:34 PM)

I wouldn't have minded if RE went in this direction.

I would buy the UK version but I'd prefer to go with the German one since it's not really much more expensive and I could buy it day one - launch hype and all.

Axiology · (10-02-2012, 08:38 PM)

Looks good.

Refreshing to finally have an idea of the game's story. Probably not gonna be scripture, but it seems to have thought put into it.

It was a little alarming, actually, how many posts there were a couple of weeks ago about this game being just an open world with nothing to do but kill zombies. I was sitting there like "Where's the PROOF" <_<

Captain Smoker · (10-02-2012, 08:40 PM)

Because everyone likes screenshots (bad video compression).

I agree with you on the atmosphere and buildings. Far too often Zombie games just give this set piece vibe that doesn't fully lend itself to the atmosphere of the game. I've shamelessly pre-ordered the game even though the WiiU will be for my girlfriend.

bobbychalkers · (10-02-2012, 08:44 PM)

I need a gif of 0:46 - 0:50....this game just keeps better and better every time I see it.

I dont get what you mean by dont look that special graphically? Do you mean not better then current PS3/360 games? Or just look like a Wii port in HD?

To mean it looks as good as COD Black Ops 2 and Halo 4, and that is great for a launch game. The lighting is amazing and the graphics look better with every new video.

fabricated backlash · (10-02-2012, 08:47 PM)

This really looks like my kind of game, and I enjoyed what I played at Gamescom. But holy the graphics have seen a huge improvement over that version I played there.

Well you could always get NSMBU and/or Rayman. Just sayin'.

You can always buy ZombiU twice.

Mihael Mello Keehl · (10-02-2012, 08:59 PM)

So now Im interested in the next one. When do these come out?

I NEED SCISSORS · (10-02-2012, 08:59 PM)

I think this is actually one of the few games i've seen that almost likes like playable concept art, even if it's not necessarily graphically impressive. They just nailed the lighting and grim look of London.

One of my most anticipated games this year for sure... might even be GOTY if they can live up to all the promises.

But you could buy it for multiple games.

not_so_special · (10-02-2012, 09:08 PM)

the problem is ( as anyone on eurogamer expo can check) is the game doesnt look that good when u are playing

unless these are from a new build its sounds the usual ubisoft bullshots tactics..yes they do that even with videos ( i still remember the first videos of ghost recon on 360) they use in game assets who look similar to the final product but apply better lighting,animation,etc etc just for a good looking video

if the game does look that good when it launches i dont have any problem to accept im wrong,but excuse me if i dont belive anything from these guys.

Opinion. People have said it looks great in person, while others has said it looks okay.

BD1 · (10-02-2012, 09:14 PM)

Looks cool. I love the premise of perma death survival, and you can tell the teams are really into weaving a cool story into that mechanic.

Can't wait to play. I am rooting hard for this game.

F#A#Oo · (10-02-2012, 09:15 PM)

I think the flat lighting and textures makes the game not look as good as it could/should. From a gameplay point out view it has some interesting mechanics though and if it mixes it up well enough it should be entertaining.

there are more opinions than "okay" or "great" underwhelmed is the most used

seriously if the game looks like this last video im very impressed and will ignite my desire to buy the wiiuzombe pack again.

The lighting is not flat, it's just predominantly diffuse. As it should be in that shot.

And your point is? I think most people are excited about the similarities to Dark Souls and DayZ. And Dark Souls can hardly be accused of having amazing graphics.

You've very likely answered your own question there.

The builds taken to events like that are almost always months older than the latest available at the time, they like to make sure those builds are tried and tested well before the event.

playingwithfire · (10-02-2012, 09:23 PM)

There were multiple points in the video where I wasn't sure if I was looking at real footage of London, or concept art, or in-game footage.

I have a feeling Ubi may have done a little editing to the in-game stuff, but if it looks this good when I play it, I'll be happy.

INDIGO_CYCLOPS · (10-02-2012, 09:25 PM)

Looks really great, though I have zombie fatigue. It's got me considering the system though; Ubisoft is really pushing the boundaries with these new IPs like Watch_Dogs, ZombiU, etc.

Anteo · (10-02-2012, 09:25 PM)

So now I went from, "will get as soon as I get a WiiU" to "Day-1".
But I dont want to spend all my money =/ I want a 3dsXL too! Ubisoft!!! *shakes fist*

Hmm ok...but it doesn't look good imho.

I get they're trying to get the dark and dingy feel but I don't think the game benefits from the way it's being done.
