You, zombie.
You are making me imagine the hulk as the spokesman of this game with that line in an Australian accent. It's just, I don't know, weird lol
Ive been watching Walking Dead and have read World War Z in the past couple of years. The thought of a game doing those sorts of real world things in a self contained narrative is really appealing to me.
Part of me wishes this had remained as Killer Freaks, but given what has been seen so far, I don't think Zombi U will be a letdown in terms of what we might have had.
Hopefully it sells well and they can flesh it out further down the line with more persistent online campaign content. Survivor outposts and quarantine breakdown chaos would be unreal.

I can't see it not selling well mate. It should easily do over 1m imo.
I still think we'll see Freaks later on down the line too, hope so anyway because the humour was right up my street.
5 little known facts about ZombiU
1. You can shoot zombies in The Tower Of London (Has to do with a newly revealed area in the game)
2. Dead Space's writer is on board
3. Your character will improve the longer you survive
4. Leave secret messages for your friends
5. ZombiU inspired by Resident Evil, 28 Days later, Skyrim, I Am Legend, Dead Set, Shaun Of The Dead and Dark Souls

Those 5 facts made me more excited for the game! Maybe I should plan on getting a Wii U after all. Glad to see something new.
Even if it's a sequel from a game from 25 years ago.

I'd quite like them to get rid of the crosshairs but the game's looking difficult enough as it is lol

Is it normal to be hyped up for a game that in which, you have no intention of buying the console its on?
That is, in most senses, illogical. :O
I guess you got these from the new french interview. There's another big thing confirmed: they want to make the GamePad speakers an integral part of the fear factor, just as much as the second screen adds tension. They give an example: when you play on the TV, the GamePad will bip when a Zombi is detected on the radar. Will you keep your eyes on the TV, or take the risk to look down on the radar and see where the Zombi is?
That is exactly the kind of feature I envisioned in my Steve Jobs post. Extra sounds coming from the GamePad can add a lot to games.
Maybe it will get ported someday.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I get to play this next Thursday, and I'm extremely excited to finally get my hands on it. In my spare time I am currently playing Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare while reading Volume 7 of The Walking Dead graphic novel, so I'm totally in the Zombie-mood.

That's what I'm hoping. Made by Ubisoft, right? I wonder how likely that is.
Either way, this game looks really cool. I was hoping to only get 1 console next gen. (Currently I have all 3, and a PC, and TBH, I barely have time for one of them, and spend what time I have, on PC) So that means I'll probably miss out on it. But it's tempting.

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
Maybe if the other next gen consoles have a touch screen. It seems it would be hard to translate one of the games more original features(backpack) to the ps360. Even with the smartphone, or vita controllers the lag would be unbearable.

Maybe, but chances are they would strip it down and do it in a more traditional way, IF there was no alternate way.
...but there probably will be.

Hip Hop Gamer is never without high energy, is there a game he does not like?
I'll like to see a video of him talking about something he really hates

That's where 90% of the tension comes from is the backpack mechanic. It turn it into an average zombie game with permadeath without it.
Yes
He loves everything. Every game is the best game ever until the next game he talks about.

port begging is strange for a game that was Killer Freaks from Outer Space
Ubisoft did say that not all WiiU launch titles are exclusive but they did also hype that they are going to put heavy support behind this console
It is not impossible to see this on something else, but hopefully no one gets themselves banned over this game for asking
I like the way HipHopGamer over sold this game it needs the hype, so far it could turn out to be a sleeper hit or just scary enough to make known Horror IPs look bad because they have gone to high action and explosions for their next titles

I was talking about Fatal Frame I swear? its all school girls with guns now, jumping over buses and shit
but you have to play as one first
HAHAHA! So true!
It would be interesting to get both of them in a room and see if the universe exploded.
No it doesnt, the two beings are opposite and cancel eachother out. They both cease to exist
Don't know honestly. The latest splinter cell wasn't released on the PS3 due to some exclusivity rights with Microsoft so maybe it's similar. Not a common practice with Ubisoft at any rate.

An actual pause button sucks and breaks the tension. Not a deal breaker though.

Sucks for people that don't need to go to the toilet I guess. Others, such as myself, will welcome this addition.

Lmao, the toilet is awesome, so that is excusable. I just like the idea of creating a safe environment for you to take a break, while keeping the game in the back of your mind at least. Like in Dark Souls how the game never actually stops for you, and it creates a certain element.

Yep. Gonna do all three on Nightmare mode without getting scared :^l
That doesn't work for all games. Well...it does on Nintendo software due to how the implement the OS. Guess there is no need for a pause button after all lol

Yep. Just contact OctoG to pause.

Omg if that becomes the game cover...shit looks so damn intense!
It's kind of a dumb name, but it's a callback to the very first game Ubisoft ever made: Zombi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bua3ZBwqJPk#t=30s
