ZombiU...

IchII3D

I just watched the live presentation of ZombiU and it would seem its basically a AAA version of the Day Z concept, although no news on multiplayer just yet... will post the gameplay video when it comes online

It would seem like the Wii U might actually have a game worth buying the system for... They mentioned leveling your character down certain paths (I'm assuming similar to Skyrim) as well as only having one life (Diablo 2/Day Z).

It looks AWESOME!

Its in London as well! Woho! Its about time the UK got some love!

Yep. This game looks freaking cool. I like the idea behind it, and that the devs are focusing on the horror aspect with survival direction. Very cool stuff.

Ark

I agree, games looking really cool, persistence, RPG elements, more survival than action orientated.

lol at the Queens guard on fire. They captured the English weather alright with the rain. :P



Also: " Players will control a survivor, who can potentially die and turn into one of the infected. If a player’s character becomes infected, they will respawn as a new survivor, but their previous items will be gone. In order to regain them, the player must now hunt down and kill their previous character turned zombie."

So if a high level character gets killed by zombies, the rest of the players suddenly got a new mob boss to watch out for? that would be cool, kinda seeding the world with new baddies, which has their own unique personality.

There are no checkpoints or game overs. You die, your character turns into a zombie, and you spawn as another survivor, and you have to go find your former survivor who is now a zombie. Kill him/her to get your stuff back. You try and survive as long as possible. That's it.....

Sounds AMAZING and the only reason I would want a WiiU

skylebones

Game really does sound awesome. But damn that title is terrible.

Pierate

Damn, WiiU is pretty tempting right now, all it needs is a new Metroid along with this and i'ts a buy for me. Looking really interesting.

I have to agree that the title is terrible though.

EVIL

couple of screenshots:




watched the gametrailers demo and permadeath, no checkpoints, open world mission based gameplay. I LIKE IT!

Ark

Looks like they got the essence of London down...Fish and Chips - Yum!

Anyone know what engine this is running on?

bounchfx

sounds really cool, but does it have any multiplayer? make it co op and I'm day -1.

glottis8

There must be some kind of mp included, since that is the whole point of the wiiU, right?

Parnell

This looks fun. More of a Left 4 Dead, than a full fledged DayZ but looks like a lot of fun.
I'll stick with DayZ for now, but if I get a WiiU I'd give this a try.

Wow. I only saw the pre-rendered (i assume) footage from the conference. The gametrailers video looks much better!
I actually got interested in WiiU now.

Andreas

Cool cinematic, I really liked the bacterial shot where the tentacle came in and grabbed the cell. The shot of the guy blowing his brains out was cool too lol.

Gameplay looks interesting as well. Like a more interactive L4D. Hopefully the multi-player is good.

Only a WiiU, it's a whole new system not a peripheral.

Kwramm

haha I like the super obvious "this is England!!!" theme with the union jack cab and the fish and chips. But it really looks damn nice!

Nintendos obvious marketing problem right there :P, I mean, the 3ds is just a tiny new version of the DS right?

Is it true there's no persistance of character from session to session? Like you play for 2 hours and shut off - you are essentially killing your character?

Because - that sucks.

The other way around, this game is supposedly persistent compared to other games, meaning when you die the world doesn't reset, you just start a new character.

I still believe you can save your progress though, just not reload when you die.
