According to IGN ZombiU is shapin up to be a must have game for gamers everywhere.

They Fixed the Gunplay

The game is a Survival Horror game. Unlike most games these days.

You can only die or get bit once.

Incredibly challenging.

I personally cant wait for this game. Already have it reserved.

Video Preview

For anyone complaing about the Pad takin away from the immersion. You can also use the WiiU Pro Controller.

They amde it really challenging? That is a shock. It seemed like a shoe-in for casual shovelware. Can't say I care for zombie games other than one like Walkign Dead, but that's good to hear.

How would you ask for a game like this at the store? Just saying ZombiU would be embarrassing.

Have you even ever bought a game before? I can't think of a time I've actually had to ask them for the game or even say its name out loud, lol.

At gamestop I just ask for the game over the counter when I buy it new. Otherwise you get a gutted copy. And at Walmart the games are behind glass so you gotta point it out and they will see that big U on it and laugh.

Or you can pick the case up off the shelf and take it to the counter because that's how game shops actually work in real life, unlike the made up way they seem to function in La La Land where you clearly live. I'm pretty damn hyped about this, I just know it's going to get review scores between about 6 and 8 though unless it has some sort of narrative, because otherwise what is there to keep you playing it except the gameplay itself, and whilst it looks fun I doubt it'll be play-it-for-hours-in-a-row fun, but we'll see.

I doubt with Wal MArt being sold out of WiiUs, people will be laughing for buying a game with it.

Im sure you got laughed out of the store when you bought Duke Nukem though hahaha

Looks interesting, I like the description of a constant pressure, rather than an escalation of difficulty. I'm only concerned about the "max inventory" concept.

They mention in the video that the narrative is there. They did state though that it is your basic Zombie story.

Right, how many bullets will I be limited to, though? If you're talking .45 rounds or something, you should be able to carry dozens without much pain. I'm thinking about a restriction in which you can only carry a dozen or two dozen bullets. Though from the sounds of it, having even a dozen will be difficult. Which brings up another concern -- how are these different items discovered? Will there just be a stray live bullet in some dark corner? I'm curious to know how intuitive the player will be required to be, or if it will just be a crap shoot.

From what I can see the game is going to focus a lot on exploration and discovering new weapons and ammo. As for how much ammo you can carry. Im not sure lol. Would be interesting to find out. it sounds like ammo will be scarce.

I NEVER thought Id say this but Ubisoft has a few games on my most wanted list and this game is quickly reaching the top. Too bad I wont be getting a Wii-U at launch.

I really hope this game does well in reviews and sales, Capcom could take a hint that people want to play Survival Horrors instead B-rated action movie based games.

The movement and aiming still look bad, but I guess that's just because it's being played with thumb sticks. The game does look interesting though.

I don't undertand how people can say looking down at the pad takes away from the immersion. I mean if you had a back pack in front of you in real life you have to look down on it. This is a true survivor horror, this hads more immersion since you have to keep cautious and stay on your feet.

Jesus you're so insecure with yourself. You really care what other people will think? Stop being a little baby, grow up and get some balls.

ZombiU does look great. Easily the most interesting game on the Wii U. One game isn't enough for me to get a Wii U though, and based on Nintendo's track record I'm VERY skeptical about the system in general. I'm waiting to see how the system fares once Sony and MS bring their consoles out.

Nothing wrong with being cautious, that's being smart imo. I felt obligated becausepersonally because of my youtube channel and video game blog to buy a Wii-U and show gamers what its all about.

I try to always pick up all the consoles on launch days. I like having the newest and greatest things. ZombiU is going to be that game that makes my day 1 purchase worth while. There are other games but this is my must hyped. Almost like Twilight Princess for the Wii.

Only scripted vaulting like gears of war and no dedicated jump button=no buy, you cant even do cool stuff like jump on top of a car and have a bunch of zombies trying to climb up on the car to get to you or explore as good.

well one could argue that any new IP could be another Red Steel. New IPs are a good thing though, and exactly what the wiiU needs more of.

Who asks for games anymore? Just go pick up the game and purchase. Easy as that.

Even if you did ask for the game why would it be embarrassing? Th U part? I doubt that would cause many odd looks at you.

Now asking for Star Wars Kinect? That's a WHOLE 'nother story right there.

left 4 dead 2 having jump button makes it feel more like a real zombie apocalypse if there was a crowd of zombies 10 feet away running towards you and there was something to climb up on like a tractor trailer u'd do it and shoot the mother f*ckers trying to climb up the truck lol.

Ah yeah I just mean they are in very similar situations, both Ubisoft games, both launch titles for a Nintendo console, both look excellent in previews, both prob have/had a lot of developers looking to see how well it does before they decide how to support the console themselves... Red Steel failed and disappointed a lotta people, hoping ZombiU does a lot better!

Who the hell is gonna have a zombie scanner in a zombie apocalypse?? Most your're gonna have is a damn frying pan or gun like left 4 dead. having only bare essentials is alot freakier lol. no game exist that is anything like a real zombie apocalypse would be though.
