ZombiU WiiU's Killer App IGN

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="GunSmith1_basic"] 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. Shinobishyguy

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

Well I'll be...

Nintendo hasn't had a game that was system purchase worthy since Goldeneye came out so this is a major surprise if it turns out to actually be true.:lol:

ZombieU is shaping up to be good

one thing that gives me a bad feeling about ZombiU is the format of having a guy on the radio giving you directions all the time. It's a low-concept way of framing a game imo, and makes it feel like a tutorial rather than a truly immersed experience. It definitely takes away from the "alone-ness." Also some the dialogue made him seem a little bit too callus to the point where he wasn't a believable character, which also takes away from the immersion (a death blow to true horror and dread). Of course I haven't played the game so I can't really say anything definitive but everything I've seen has shown that structure. I'm expecting a greater survival horror experience out of Zwei, since I trust Mikami to understand the nuances of effective horror and integrating it into design. ZombiU still seems like a really good game though, but just don't expect it to be the next Silent Hill. Zwei on the other hand, now that could be something special.

How can it be a must have when the console its on isnt? Heil68

Tempting, very tempting. It will be interesting to see some reviews and how well the new controller works with it. Seems like it could be something special.

My brain hurts now for trying to read that.

The reason I want a Wii U right there...

Love the head bashing action.

Reading it sloooowlyyy is the key.

Gamespot gave it a 4.5 :lol:

Thats the problem with WiiU, it has a garbage game as killer app, which is why i would never buy one

edit: the only game I've ever felt weird asking for it, "could i please have super monkey ball" which i laughed at while he was handing it to me.

Looks like Red SteelU with zombies flopped, lol.TrueAmerican007

It's a well known fact that video game journalists are paid to write glowing impressions and previews for unreleased games. runbleduck

Link?

You know a system is a joke when its killer app is a 4.5 game. Like LOOOOOLZsilversix_

Indeed, WiiU seems like the ultimate joke console ever

Ya zombiU seems more like left 1 dead. As in left 4 dead but with only one person.

It might be decent but won 't be anything special in my opinion.

I miss PS1 graphics, WiiU graphics look so subpar comparing

I wonder how from millions of polygons you go to 20-30 for each charatcer, i remember PS1 had more polygons on screen than ZombiU, i am sure of it

Also do they use textures at all ? Seems like WiiU is a huge step down from Wii graphics wise

^Yawn. I can't wait to play ZombiU.
