One of the best survival horror games of the past 5 years. It's a very good game that deserves to be played by more people, so I'm all for this. In fact, I'd be tempted to double-dip.
What ? It was barely acceptable for the hardware.
It will take much more than a simple upres not to look like shit on PS4/XBO.
Pretty crazy, guess it goes to show people that said it wasn't possible to update the game to play without the gamepad.
Ah yes finally! Now I don't have to borrow or buy a Wii U to play this and BTW eat crow all of you who said this will never happen due to how the game was designed for the gamepad.

GTFO
did you even play more than 5 minutes?
The entire point of using the gamepad was that you have to divert your focus away from the main screen. If anything a non-transparent GUI would be needed, but that would still not be the same. Vita and Smartglass are what you need here. Or a smartphone app.
Wish I never played it. I hate the combat, especially whacking shit with melee weapons.
Touchscreen is better for punching in codes, but yeah - you'd be able to replicate it pretty well still. As long as it inhibits your view it is fine.I know, I've beaten the game. You're right now that I think about it, a live action GUI that you can't see through would be the right way to go. I don't really think it would detract much from the experience either, I used to be a huge advocate for the GamePad functionality in ZombiU but it lets not kid ourselves, pretty much everything can be replicated just as well. Sure you don't have to look down but that's basically it.
It rhymes with 'Wii U'.Why was there a U at the end of the WiiU version anyway? I never understood what that title was trying to say.
especially since the WiiU ver is like 10 bucks

And let my guess.. £40?
Many people are notoriously exaggerating the role of the Gamepad in many Wii U games. The fact is that very, very few games make any essential use of it.

Not even necessary
How often did you really have a moment where you were caught of guard using the inventory?
I always prepped before hand (plus you can set shortcuts) or organized during what I knew was a safe zone.
Its really not the selling point of the game experience (even though thats how they marketed the feature)
From what I remember:
AR Scanner
Inventory
Codepads of all kinds
map
It's a pretty integral part of the game. You could probably replicate all those functions on a regular controller, but you'd lose a lot of the charme the game has as a result.

Did you ignore the part where I said it needs better textures and tesselation?
Sounds like a feature, that the game could do without.
Zombi U has more tension than any game I've played in recent times. Thing is, a lot of that is due to the gamepad integration for inventory management and the radar. I don't see how they can replace that, so I think Wii U will still be the best place to play this game.
But will it have the same draw? The gamepad interaction on this game is still the best, I can't even imagine the game without itPretty crazy, guess it goes to show people that said it wasn't possible to update the game to play without the gamepad.
Are people really wanting to play this game?
Finally picked it up and played it recently due to the hype towards it on Gaf. It's a really really bad game, jeez. Some of the most boring a tedious few hours of my life wasted. Glad others like it and hope it finds a home on the PS4 and XB1 though.
Excellent, this was the game I wanted a Wii-U for most. Hopefully it gets a graphical upgrade too.
It would be insane if it didn't.
Mediocre game without the 2nd screen feature.

Ubisoft finally dropped the U.
