Don't buy it.This looks like a very standard zombie first-person shooter with a few Wii U-specific features that seem pretty minor. Why the excitement?

nnnnnnnghh
I'm not saying ZombiU is some amazing game or anything like that. Most likely it will end up being the Condemned of the WiiU launch, at least that is the impression I got from my hands-on time.
If you die in the game you die for real?

Red Steel.
It'll be a solid 7/10 game, mark my words.
yeah..let me put you in perspective ( in my broken english ;( )
im 45 years old,32 years on the gaming industry,developing games and working on european gaming press,reading neogaf since 2006,( never posted because my poor english)
yes..im a junior member and i dont know anything about gaming at all
So you only trust people who talk only positive things about your system of choice,nice to know.
- The concept of scavenging in a dangerous enironment and being vulnerable seems to have been well realised in gameplay.
- The concept of your character becoming more experienced in weapon use and accruing scavenged weapons and items makes the perma-death aspect more compelling -- you lose your shit, you've gotta go find Zombie-You and get it back. Assuming you don't run out of survivors to play with.
- The social interaction aspects are cool.
- It looks good. Voicework sounds good. Production values look good. Seems like it have a few cleverly scripted jumps and scares.
- The scenario - post apocalyptic London - the London underground, the Mall, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge etc ---- it looks cool!
I honestly don't see why anyone would be down on the game actually.
lots of cheesy jump scares for my liking. Rather than actually trying to avoid zombies etc, seems like you just get a lot of darkness so you use your tunnel vision torch, and lots of right angled corners in narrow areas so you are 'surprised'
Sounds like survival horror. You're not supposed to be a bad ass that runs around head-shotting everyone. Though I reserve judgement on controls until I actually play it.Guys, just came from an event Ubisoft organized in Madrid and could try ZombieU.
The game is trash. Seriously. It really plays bad. It's like if the gamepad and the game didn't get along. You have to look the touchscreen and the tv screen at the same time and it's not cool.
The camera control is very wierd. Sometimes it moves fast and others too slow. I didn't know what the hell was going on and when I wanted to react I had three zombies around me and my only weapon was a cricket bat that did no damage.
Well certainly not a looker, although I do appreciate the mood.Some new screens too (more here http://vgimg.com/215/zombiu/)

Condemned?

Eh, what? I played Condemned on PC and it hasn't aged well.Not alot has happend in 7 years...
Ok there's alot more going on in the ZombiU screens, but still

Ah, well it had the lighting going for it. I'm not saying it was impressive or anything, mind you.Hasn't aged well? I wasn't very good the day it was released.
Red Steel comparisons piss me off. It's such a stupid analogy with no similarities that people just use because it's on a Nintendo console
Is something up with the color on those pics?
whats with the 'overground'? Is 'underground' copyright or something?
If you die in the game you die for real?
You die in real life, yes.
To my eyes the difference is pretty big..Not alot has happend in 7 years...

During today's European Wii U Preview it was announced that a limited edition bundle would be available at launch along side the standard and deluxe bundles.
The special "Wii U ZombiU Premium Pack" includes the black Wii U and GamePad, as well as both the ZombiU game and a black Wii U Pro Controller; all in, we expect, a horrifyingly cool box.
This has only been confirmed by Ubisoft as a European bundle at present, we expect confirmation of availability in North America shortly. Initial reports suggest that retailers will be asking £330 for this pack.
Do people have hype goggles on or something, because this doesn't look good. It looks kinda generic and fitting of the generic title. Being forced to use the tablet for fine aiming is also a terrible idea. though I guess that can potentially be turned off.
Reminds of Red Steel proof of concept
I don't see the amazing I guess
In what way other than both are on Nintendo consoles, which isn't a valid answer?
I dont know what scares me more, the games concept, or the fact that I've been "bitten" before, buying a Ubisoft launch game. Decisions decisions.
It's a pretty damn generic looking Ubisoft first-person shooter coming out of nowhere to be launch-window software for a new Nintendo console.
The last time a game like that got extremely positive impressions and tons of hype, the game ended up being pretty terrible in the end. (Yes, Red Steel)
You can't blame people for being cautious this time around.

because it looks different that the majority of zombie games/modes out there...at least for me

I am already sold on this game
UI-less HDTV presentation ftw
This thing got buried in the news today cuz we've already seen so much of this game already
Shame
