Zombi(U)

[blackdog]

I just discovered, by the Steam highlights, that ZombiU has been ported to PC (as well as for the other platforms), so it has lost the "U".

Always envied that game to the Wii crowd, so I'm sure I'll get it. If I wasn't going on holiday tomorrow I would already be downloading, but I'll just wait to see if it ends up in any sale.

Playthrough with IGN Australia

Interesting, I always assumed this game was completely built around its Wii U game pad aiming gimmick and never paid much attention to it, but I guess it must be considered a worthwhile play in its own right to be ported. I do actually have a Wii U so if it's a legitimately good game I could get it for that...

I didn't realise the original was based in london?

[blackdog]

Yeah I think was one of the selling points, London locations and permadeath of characters.

I'd buy it if it didn't require Uplay. Too bad.

London refs are all over the cover

 

Anyway, cool to see this out. Might pick it up later for the WiiU actually, because the whole game was designed for it.

If they make a ps4 version they better have the Vita as a second screen option.

Is it just me, or did everyone completely change opinion on this game?!  It started as "it's decent for a launch game" and "it's kind of awful," now it's "it was so good!"  Is this a Dark Souls situation?

I bought this and played for an hour. I must say, it's actually quite fun. Sure, it's quite restricted (no crouch, no jump), but I still enjoy it. Besides, it was only 20e, so can't have it all I guess. I wish it had multiplayer.. then again, there's NMRiH for that.

never heard that was bad? Is it?? I remember only seeing the previews and trailers, then since was WiiU never bothered following.

There are a couple things that I remember (permadeath and loot retrieval) that I would put in my ideal zombie survival so I'm interested in seeing their take. Also I now live close to London so it's cool to play in places you know.

I'll wait a sale to buy it anyway, also I just got Mad Max (at -40%) ?

Personally this was always one of the games I found most interesting on the WiiU but couldnt justify buying the console for one game.
