ZombiU was so close to brilliant. I'd love a sequel, especially if it got the proper polish the original needed so badly.
hmmm interesting find here.

Why would they make a game called ZombiU for any other system than the Wii U?

Wow that throws out the Ubisoft owns the trademark argument
Maybe Nintendo and Bamco picked it up and is funding it
The first one wasn't that good, but if they made it I don't know if I'd be able to play it without the Gamepad. It'd feel weird.
Ubisoft abandoned 6 trademarks of the game but one still standing.

"Amazon France has previous form in accurately leaking game details before publishers are ready to reveal them. To date, its list of scalps include Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the Killzone Trilogy, the European-only Assassin's Creed Anthology, Grand Theft Auto V on PC and a PS4 bundle for The Last of Us: Remastered. All of these turned out to be accurate."
I didnt know they have been that accurate with leaks
Seems like Bandai Namco and Nintendo are really buddy now, everything can happen.Wow that throws out the Ubisoft owns the trademark argument
Maybe Nintendo and Bamco picked it up and is funding it
I am kind of maybe thinking this is real right now.
Didnt they leak DKC TF delay too?
Maybe they have time for more than one melee weapon this time.
Pretty funny how everyone is totally ignoring that post.

Damn you, L-A!
i always see complaints about this and every time it surprises me how badly people seem to not comprehend what this game was...
I want this so badly that I can't let myself believe.
It not being true would kill me
That post still doesnt explain why Ubisoft all of a sudden abandon the other trademarks earlier this year.
Yes. It was highly flawed, short on content, with inconsistent game balance.
But it was also very unique, very creative, very fun, with some good core game design. It needed another year in the oven to become a niche classic. It needed another pass at its game design, some more passes at balancing areas and encounters, and several more hours of content.
So I'd buy a sequel.
So what are people thinking? Nintendo have bought the IP from Ubi and are making 2 themselves?
Well the game did start life as Attack of Killer Freaks from Outer Space and the aliens were just grungier rabbids, so there is precedent.
Zombi U 2 without giving Ubisoft money would be the greatest thing ever. Not holding my breath for now though.
