I wouldn't mind playing this. Not a fan of the inventory management aspect though, ruins the pacing.

 

[SniperHunter]

It looked like only the zombies cast realtime shadows. It'd also probably be more dramatic if they didn't have the flashlight origin so close to being centered on the player's camera (you'd see more of the shadow if it was off center).

Pointing a flashlight around in a dark room can be super creepy in itself because the shadows will dance around in real life -- it's a shame they couldn't capture that in the game.

I am sure they tried but this effect is too demanding. It's disabled in most games, including Crysis

 

[John Harker]

Kill kill killer ap. I expect it to sell very well, based on it being a launch game, having great marketing material (the CGI intro is fantastic), and a great buzz already.

You notice in the CG reveal that the human character who is killed in one scene, is the zombie that kills the next human character in the next scene? Mirrors the gameplay. Really cool little easter egg.

 

[GDGF]

When the survivor was grabbed by the zombie and bitten at the end I screamed "Fuck Youuuu!"

I need this game.

 

[metalslimer]

Game looks a lot better than Resident Evil 6 in terms of being an actual horror game.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Is it me or the new footage looks better than the E3 build?

 

[Instro]

Well they did say at E3 that they would be showing off an updated build of the game with visual enhancements, but that was supposed to be for Gamescom iirc.

 

[SniperHunter]

Is it me or the new footage looks better than the E3 build?

of course it looks better duh.....

 

[StickSoldier]

I'm pretty excited about this game. I hope it turns out good.

 

[The_Lump]

Is it me or the new footage looks better than the E3 build?

Was just thinking the same....not sure though. Maybe AA has been introduced? Its certainly new footage anyhow.

 

[Struct09]

My favorite Wii U game I played out of the E3 bunch.

RE abandoned horror years ago...

besides Revelations, which is great

The framerate seems like it's been cleaned up considerably, which can only help. It's hard to tell anything else with how low-res the video is.

I saw a post about it yesterday, but haven't got a chance to see it myself. I'll watch it again tonight. Pretty awesome concept they have there.

 

[HAL_Laboratory]

Looks great

 

[djlr181]

This Zombi U Direct Feed video is from E3, but I like to link to it.

 

[JoeInky]

Video isn't loading for me, could only find this on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIjeqILZ67s

It's from comicon but it's not as long so I'm assuming it's a different video?

 

[abstract alien]

That looks...really smooth.

 

[SolarPowered]

The lighting is amazing and gives it so much atmosphere. The atmosphere and tension reminds me of european horror movies from the 70s. My turtle head almost popped out when that zombie attacked!

Yeah, the game really has some nice stuff going on that makes for a soft look. The lighting is definitely great. I think that might be it.

I also cringed around 2:10 when the female zombie got up again and screamed in the player's face haha.

 

[DragonSworne]

What's the framerate? Also love the fact there is no screen tearing.

 

[Ushojax]

Obviously these are bullshots, being Ubisoft and all, but I'm sure the game will look very nice when it launches.

It's a higher quality video of the new comic con stuff. The OP one is a bit longer because it shows more stuff from the E3 build.

 

[Shalashaska161]

That honestly looks really good.

 

[abstract alien]

It's 30fps from what e3 players have said. I'm ok with that for slow, survival horror games. Makes everything look more fucked up lol

 

[drspeedy]

looks on rails

I get the same vibe. I think it's just the point of view movements are very slow and methodical, which don't realistically mimic how most of us (me) actually play. It definitely gives off an on-rails feel and probably was for this vid, but I can't imagine any on rails segments making it into the game.

 

[sorijealut]

This checks out well. Very good atmosphere.

I hope they have this at the Wii U Experience thing.

It's funny, because I actually play like that sometimes. It's why I hate when a game won't let me walk lol

Huh.

Have they changed the sound effects? One of the things that bugged me the most about the E3 footage was how quiet the guns and weapons sounded.

 

[drspeedy]

re-watching it, I think I like the inventory system being so realistic- you'd actually have to manage inventory in your pack in this situation- but then I see limbs blown off by a single 9mm round.

blah blah blah video game, I know. But still. You can't dismember most rodents with a 9mm...

Holy shit this one looks even better.

 

[flippedb]

It's a recent build, I bet more things have changed.

Game looks fine.

Funny how one of the thing that bothers me from the game is the same as RE6: there's no weapon recoil, they look like toy guns.

Super strong characters.

 

[Paracelsus]

[optimiss]

What a horrible title for a game. Of course, from a marketing standpoint, it is brilliant.

 

[JoeBoy101]

That video... I'll be honest, game looks good to me. But then, I have a bias towards zombie tales.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

looks on rails

I'm not sure about on rails but everything in these videos make me fell like this is a FPS "House of the Dead" type game. If is most definitely not your standard FPS zombie game though.

Not saying it looks bad, it just looks like it plays really weird.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Eh, I like the title. I just think they should drop the U.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

This game looks fun and interesting. I'll be sure to check it out once I get a Wii U.

 

[flippedb]

Eh, I like the title. I just think they should drop the U.

They already have a "Zombi" game.

 

[NateDrake]

Actually looks pretty good. It's finding itself on my Wii U launch game radar.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

ConzUmed. Imagine ZUmbiez. U Am Not Alive.

 

[iirate]

They already have a "Zombi" game.

Didn't stop them from releasing Prince of Persia.

 

[Shiggy]

I really hope that this doesn't end up like Red Steel 2.

 

[Why would you do that?]

What a horrible title for a game. Of course, from a marketing standpoint, it is brilliant.

It is a weird title, but as mentioned, it's a "sequel" to Ubisoft's first game, Zombi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombi_(video_game))

I predict a lot of "xxx U" games, actually. Remember "Super xxx" and "xxx 64?" Well, prepare for "xxx U."

 

[Aostia]

I would like to see some new areas...

 

[DynamicG]

I'm pretty excited for this game, but the narrator bugs me a bit. So many games resort to a narrated tutorial voiced by a disembodied benefactor. There's just always some dude over an intercom who is willing to tell you what to do. It seems to oppose the idea that it is more realistic than other zombie games.

Of course I say that having not played the game, so the early footage could be overplaying that role.

 

[Meelow]

I'm really excited for Zombi U, looks pure survival horror.

One of my Wii U launch titles.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

There still is no release date for the Wii U right?

 

[Silas Lang]

Looks great! Has one of the most interesting uses of the gamepad thus far IMO. Already looking a bit better than what was seen at e3. Can't wait to see it finished. Ubisoft has impressed me more than Nintendo thus far in regards to WiiU.

 

[Plinko]

There still is no release date for the Wii U right?

No. Most retail guesses are for the Sunday before Black Friday.
