This will be GOTY if I can shoot Chav Zombies

If it's anything like attack the block then they'll be fighting back

 

[demidar]

*Awaits impending doom*

Seems like they are both having fun with each other actually.

To be fair, Jeff used to rap.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Holy shit I'm in fucking cramping over here! Why did they think that was a good idea, even back then lol

I always thought the original game name was homage to one of the greatest Zombie movies ever. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombi_2

 

[Phife Dawg]

YOU PEE, YOU DIE!!!!!!!

Gotta keep that urine bottle at reach!

I found out there is no such thing as safe in Dark Souls the hard way :^(

That screwed me over a couple of times.

 

[abstract alien]

That screwed me over a couple of times.

Hearing that death chime from the toilet had my living room filled with piss and anguish. I want that feeling again on Wii U :^(

 

[GDGF]

For instance, the more your current survivor plays with a hand gun, the faster he or she will be able to draw, shoot and reload, accuracy will improve and kickback decrease.

Soothsayer!

 

[snowdog1971]

YOU PEE, YOU DIE!!!!!!!

Lol, rather than pausing the game it would be better in terms of keeping tension going to have time slowed down rather than paused. Would make peeing/answering the phone or door more intense!

Yep, that movie was the very first thing I thought of when I saw the title.

 

[supersergioconte]

take it as a little rumor from Italy

there Are voices of zombi u in bundle with the console,
Two bundles ... One for the hardcores and one with nintendoland for the casuals

bye guys

I'd buy a Zombi U bundle.

Would be interesting if true. White Wii U with Nintendoland and Black Wii U with Zombies U, perhaps?

 

[Aostia]

Would be a interesting if true. White Wii U with Nintendoland and Black Wii U with Zombies U, perhaps?

and....RED wii u with MARIO!




dreamin...

 

[Effect]

Would be a good idea if true. I would hope Nintendo would realize if they include a pack-in they have to include something that would appeal to both groups of customers they want to keep. Both games show off the controller but are clearly aimed at different groups. I rather have a ZombiU bundle if I could pick and it was given as an option. I have no use or desire to touch another mini-game collection.

 

[snowdog1971]

I'd be all over a ZombiU bundle because I'm planning on getting both on launch day. Not too sure where I'm going to get the money from to get everything I want:

Black Wii U
Pro Controller
ZombiU
Darksiders 2
Assassins Creed 3
Rayman Legends
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Lego City Undercover
Aliens Colonial Marines
Rabbids Land
Arkham City
Pikmin 3

Anyone know of any banks in the London area that are going to be easy to rob..? Lololol

I think I will buy the following:

Black Wii U
Pro Controller
ZombiU
Darksiders 2 (maybe)
Assassins Creed 3
Rayman Legends
Lego City Undercover
Rabbids Land
Pikmin 3

Edit: Damn.. that would be costly.. rethinking xD

Hell yeah I'd buy this. Though the debate continues... would I get a white or black console/ If ZombiU only came with a black Wii U, would I still buy it? Hm.

Hearing that death chime from the toilet had my living room filled with piss and anguish. I want that feeling again on Wii U :^(

Hahah, so true.

 

[playingwithfire]

Would be interesting if true. White Wii U with Nintendoland and Black Wii U with Zombies U, perhaps?

Uh wait, a third party game bundled with the system at launch? Is this even feasible?

 

[snowdog1971]

Yup, they've done it before, although that was donkeys years ago.

ZombiU is going to be a system seller imo so a bundle would make sense.

Yea that will destroy your wallet lol..
Im just going for a pro controller..nsmb wii u, pikmin 3..and zombi u (maybe)

 

[Currygan]

why are you folks not putting NSMBU on your list? What is wrong with you!?!

man, I so hope its true

which one to pick...uhm...I got to think a lot about this one. Ok, enough. The zombie one, right now, here, in my pants


one thing for sure: if launch lineup is as good as it seems (which I doubt), I'll be spending about 500£ on this thing, day one

 

[Roo]

it definitely will be.
I can see ZombiU being one of the top 3 best selling games from the first gen of games for Wii U.

 

[AzaK]

Quick question. Why are you guys buying Pro controllers? Is that for splitscreen play, or are you planning on ignoring the gamepad for games typically used with a "standard controller"?

the second one, and when I don't need to stay away from the television because someone has to watch Eastenders

actually, there's a third one: it looks so damn sexy

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

1st of all its sexy...

2nd of all its sexy.

Idk the repetitive boring art style draws me in!

 

[Christberg]

it definitely will be.

I wouldn't go that far. Nintendo's own offerings could very well outsell it. NSMB and NintendoLand in particular. Then you have Just Dance and Wii Fit U, both of which could well be million+ sellers

Top 3 3rd party titles? Almost assuredly provided the quality is there.

 

[Emhemed]

Looking good but I have come to learn not to trust a game made by Ubisoft on a Nintendo hardware, only good reviews wil make me buy this game

 

[Currygan]

[KillerTravis]

1. It looks awesome.
2. To play split-screen with my little brother.

 

[Effect]

It's a Mario game that can be gotten any time. It's not like Nintendo won't keep it in stock. Also I'm sick and tired of 2D Mario. I have more then enough of them that I can play from New Super Mario Bros Wii to the NES original on my 3DS and every other one in between in some form or another. I don't need or want another one. I don't even care about New Super Mario Bros. 2. I want a game that will show off the system's power or control. NSMBU does neither of those in terms of single player0. Local multplayer is worthless to me as well. NSMBU is a game that Nintendo knows will sell and that to me is just them wanting to get as much money as they can for the least amount of effort. I personally do not want to be taken advantage of like that. I want to be sold on games and nothing has sold me on NSMBU at the moment.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Zombi U bundle should be a black Wii U black box art with red bloody WiiU logo

 

[Roo]

Yeah, I'm just talking about third party games

 

[Hiltz]

I don' think Nintendo would bundle a Ubisoft game or any third-party game with the Wii U console. It seems like Nintendo Land would have a better chance of being bundled with a Wii remote plus than with the console.

Well its good to know that from you.

 

[AzaK]

And if they do it it has to come with this (Black GamePad of course)

 

[KU_]

Loving what I see so far. Lighting and atmosphere gives me a Condemned vibe, which I love.

 

[Trevelyan9999]

So is there an actual link to this rumor of a ZombiU Wii U bundle or is this from some anonymous person?

 

[crazy monkey]

how many life does person have in this game? like how many individuals? Was there anything said about it?

 

[Gummb]

I would buy a Zombi U bundle and then get Nintendo Land later.

I don't really understand the hate behind Nintendo Land, I think it looks like a crap ton of fun. Going through old Zelda levels in a new style with friends just sounds too good to pass up. Also, I don't think of these games as mini-games, but more like smaller game experiences... it's not like WarioWare or Mario Party here, it looks more in depth than that.

btw, The DK game also looks like a ton of fun. Something I would play in my bed for hours. ;D

But yes, Zombi U. Bundle. Got.

Agreed, i think its a cunning way for Nitnendo to introduce non gamers to gameplay with more a bit more depth (than Wii Sports/ Play) as well as the franchises themselves so lead them into being fans of such franchises.

I don't hate Nintendo Land but it's no way an "everyone" game like Wii Sports was. I know that there will be quite a bit of reluctance for family to play a game that's more gamey and complicated with the controls. They might enjoy it once they get into it, but the games are fare more complicated on the whole (Maybe not Castle and DK) that it will be a harder sell to non-gamers.

 

[BlackArrow]

ZombiU looks to be the best title on offer for the Wii U.

Nothing else interests me.

 

[pixelpai]

how many life does person have in this game? like how many individuals? Was there anything said about it?

as far as i understand: umlimited. What bothers me is, that in all the videos i've seen so far, it seems as if the people you wake up as, are predefined: unkown -> Lucy Cox -> Caleb Patel

I'm not sure, but "Lucy Cox" seems to be in every footage. Maybe this is just a "its a demo" thing.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

I wouldn't doubt it if it's just for demo purposes. I've heard them say many times that the person you wake up is randomized every time. (As far as the game goes that is)

 

[coughlanio]

Wii U Launch Day is going to be an expensive one for me. I'll be taking the day off work for sure..

ZombiU
Darksiders
Assassin's Creed
Lego City Undercover
Batman: Arkham City
Mass Effect 3
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

I'm speculating on alot of those games being available at launch, but all seem like likely candidates..

 

[snowdog1971]

Quick question. Why are you guys buying Pro controllers? Is that for splitscreen play, or are you planning on ignoring the gamepad for games typically used with a "standard controller"?

If the asymmetric multiplayer for ZombiU allows pointer controls then I won't bother getting one otherwise I'll be getting it purely for ZombiU's local multiplayer to begin with. Plus, as everyone else has already stated, it does look pretty sexy lol.

 

[Scanna]

gosh yeah, this game seems really interesting
as of today, i'd buy
Wii u Black
Pikmin 3
Scribblenauts Unlimited
AC 3 (either here or xbox)
maybe Zombi U, Rayman or Mario
Why all the criticism? it was definitely poorly showed at E3, but we have a very very good launch line-up here

 

[KillerTravis]

ZombiU looks to be the best title on offer for the Wii U.

Nothing else interests me.

How about Assassin's Creed or Darksiders? If you mean exclusives then I see how some people may not like the lineup so far.

New interview with Ubisoft on ZombiU for nintendo-gamer.net:

http://www.nintendo-gamer.net/2012/07/25/interview-ubisoft-reveals-more-info-on-zombiu/

Of all the games heading to Wii U during the launch window, ZombiU is possibly the one we’re most eagerly anticipating. A Wii U exclusive FPS set in London during a zombie invasion, developed by the team behind Rayman Origins and Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter? Count us in.

To find out a little more about the game, we got hold of the game’s Producer Guillaume Brunier and its Senior Script Writer Gabrielle Shrager, and grilled them with some of the toughest questions we could think of. Then we realised those questions were nothing to do with ZombiU so we sent them some easier ones about that instead.

NINTENDO GAMER: ZombiU has clearly changed a lot since its original inception as Killer Freaks From Outer Space. Why was the decision made to make the change from small killer creatures to zombies?

UBISOFT: As we developed Killer Freaks from Outer Space, the deeper we got into creating features specifically designed to make the most of the Wii U, the more we realized how perfect the Survival Horror genre is for the console. Then we just got more and more excited as the game concept grew almost organically. The shift in creative vision gave us the opportunity to deliver a game that would include both the gameplay features and compelling story elements we think gamers will be thrilled by on Wii U.

NG: Based on the original details for Killer Freaks, it seems that it was originally going to take place in various locations around the world. Was the decision to focus mainly on London a case of quality over quantity?

UBI: Killer Freaks was much more of an arcade-style FPS, so its was natural to propose several settings. So yes, in a way, to build a Survival Horror game that offers a credible experience of surviving a zombie apocalypse one immersive setting is more appropriate.

Also, we love London. The biggest banking metropolitan in the world is a city of many contrasts, where medieval meets modernity in terms of both architecture and tradition. There’s lots of opportunity for cool backstory and rich environments. A zombie game is an great opportunity to draw people deeper into this utterly fascinating city, a city steeped in bloody tales and grisly history.

We’re working with Antony Johnston on the script, acclaimed British comics book author and writer of Dead Space and Dead Space Extraction among other great games to help us get the most out of this tremendous setting and its unique characters.

 

[snowdog1971]

Cheers for the link to the interview, might have read it before though.

Can't believe that I'm so pumped for Ubisoft titles for a console launch!

 

[watershed]

Interesting remarks about the story and characters as that seems like one of the biggest unknown factors at the moment.
