But Gpeople told me it couldn't happen because of the Gamepad mechanics! Glad more people get to play it. Hopefully it does well enough that they consider a second.

Yeah no. No one said that. Every game can be ported. You can port CoD to an iPhone if you want to but the question is - will it play the same?
No one said it could´nt be ported. This fanboy nonsense has to stop.

Lot of Wii U players said that. If you really want to, I'll search those posts.
This looks to be like I Am Alive. A game that Ubisoft has finished but little faith in its commercial success, thus they release it only as a digital title.

Not surprised to see you chime in. ^^ Go ahead. Search.

 

[SerTapTap]

Honestly the biggest question is whether they fixed the awful carnival section. That section did way more harm to the game than the gamepad did good.

 

[GusZamboni]

i highly recomend this game, one of the best titles i played on WiiU

 

[Agent Gibbs]

Hmmm if its improved enough i could buy for PC but unlikely

 

[Kriken]

Digital only?

What's the price then

 

[scitek]

Well i didnt liked it when i played it.

And now it took them years to port and nothing has changed graphically.

I'd guess it took more like months to port it. I'm thinking this release is in reaction to the recent success they've seen games like Alien: Isolation and REmake have, and they're testing out the market since this is the closest thing they have (and they're obviously not putting much money into it).

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wow, people weren't kidding. This game looks decidedly last-gen.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Currently, the video has 10 upvotes and 10 downvotes. Curious to see how much of the crazy subsection of the pro-Nintendo crowd show up to downvote, due to it no longer being exclusive.

i would think people are downvoting who think it looks bad for a modern game

doubt anyone really cares it's no longer exclusive, game is years old at this point

 

[NYCrooner]

Hopefully this version does well. I really loved the Wii U version.

Doesn't look like much of a visual upgrade but this game is all about mood and atmosphere.

 

[drotahorror]

Good news, barely played it on wii u. Will get for ps4 prolly.

Wonder why so many dislikes on the video already??

 

[DrROBschiz]

Bitter Wii U fans losing an exclusive.

Fuck that

They almost threw this entire IP in the garbage after its dismal WiiU performance

So glad they are porting it

I hope it saves it

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Is there Coop in this?

You underestimate some of the crazier Nintendo fans.

 

[Ganondorfo]

We don't even know if it's a PS360 port.



Dude, watch the thing or read the headline. It's a port. There is no sequel.

Sorry, didn't read the title, only the first 6 words, now I did, sorry for the question .

[SmokedMeat]

Sounds like it's being sent to die. Hope it turns out better than Prototype.

 

[Zombegoast]

What did the gamepad even do? Radar, inventory, and a scope? Oh and I remember like a blacklight puzzle mechanic.

Yeah I can't think of a thing I'd call essential. What a weird claim.

It had King of the Zombies.

 

[Interceptor]

Wow, people weren't kidding. This game looks decidedly last-gen.

And still the best survival horror since REmake and Dead Space. ^^
Everyone should buy it now.

 

[thehillissilent]

I will be using SweetFX/Reshade on PC to mod the graphics and remove Chromatic Aberration.

100% its Nintendo fans.

I've no idea why someone would base their identity around what disposable entertainment they consume, but when said person picks Nintendo they really go all out.

 

[cand]

OMG people, it's not a fanboy nonsense and people in the other thread did not say it couldn't be ported! They said, and I as a owner of the game on Wii U since day one agree, that the gamepad is important to the overall feeling of the game and that there is no way to port it without losing something in translation.

 

[GavinUK86]

Prototype "remaster" didn't even get a trailer did it?

 

[TheMoon]

It had King of the Zombies.

Yup, I wonder if the brilliant multiplayer mode survived at all in this port. I have no idea how you would do this without the GamePad.

 

[EatChildren]

This time I'll make it through on Survival difficulty.

Well thats a load of horse crap honestly

The game stands on its own on its FPS and Survival mechanics alone

The gamepad stuff was the marketing angle but it also wasnt as integral to making the game special as everyone claims

 

[Razmos]

That music was utter cringe.

 

[jacobeid]

Bought this on Wii U last fall....still haven't opened it.

 

[CarlieCaplin]

Wow, this thread is pretty sad. It's like reading comments on a YouTube video.

Just be happy that more people get to play this game....

 

[evilromero]

Alright who on GAF gave this critical acclaim? Speak up!

The game is awesome. Easily in my top 3 on Wii U.

 

[Pennywise]

And still the best survival horror since REmake and Dead Space. ^^

Will certainly do, if the price isn't too high.

 

[jmizzal]

So Straight Right is doing the port
I may check it out then even tho I got the WiiU version day 1
But Straight Right did great WiiU work

 

[Kimppis]

I've never owned a Wii U, but this game has always interested me. However, digital only > no buy. I guess I'll get it for the Wii U as soon as I can find one for €99...

And damn... Nintendo fans are not liking that video.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Nice, I'll get my PS4 copy. It's too bad that Ubisfot never released Red Steel 2 for other consoles.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I bet nobody told you it "couldn't" happen, just that it would lose a lot. Which is factually still true, no matter how you slice it.

Yeah, this is probably the best way to look at it. It's still going to be a great game, but the gamepad functionality added a lot to the experience. Far from essential, but very cool nonetheless.

 

[SerTapTap]

Don't mention that foul thing. Man, if this runs worse on PS4 than Wii U...that'd be a travesty.

It is way, way way cheaper to buy the game digital and buy a Wii U copy if all you want is a disk

 

[matrixman92]

Does this game have an actual story with beginning and end? All I have seen from it is just surviving.

 

[Jigorath]

Excellent. No reason to leave it exclusive when it can get higher sales on multiple platforms.

 

[Slixshot]

Yooooo that song was awesome ^_^

 

[Interceptor]

Maybe it´s 100% Sony fans articulating their dudebreh behaviour on a game they used to shit on.

Spoiler

Isn´t it fun to write nonsense about the fans of plastic boxes to prove some hidden agenda? ^^

 

[Liamc723]

Are you reading a different thread? Literally nobody is complaining.

 

[SerTapTap]

Yeee..kiiiinda...It has a story-ish. Then it just kinda ends. But it's not like, Minecraft. There's a progression.

no its notm,diying light stomps this mediocrity

Yes.

Oh, alright. At least it's somewhat structured then. Really excited for this now

 

[Ridley327]

Kind of. You character (or characters) find themselves caught in something of a power struggle between those who have accepted that this is the way the world is now and those who still fight to find a cure, but it's more or less thin reasoning to justify going to some of the cool locations that you do. It is a linear game, though, so there is a defined end point.

It's an amazing game; one of my favorite that year. Haven't played through Alien: Isolation though, but I have a feeling that fits up there too.

Streaming or bust.

 

[thehillissilent]

Polygon article has screens. It looks....ok. Will definitely mod on PC!!

[Cyd0nia]

Graphics nitpicking be damned. It's a great game that many people could have and should have played in 2012/13.

The version of God save the Queen played in the Wii U trailer actually played out in the game

Spoiler

end credits

- I wonder if London Bridge is Falling Down is going to appear elsewhere too?

It deserves a sequel, and deserves to live on as a franchise... maybe NX/PS4/XBO?
