You´re right.
But that means they had this whole time to make a proper local multiplayer mode, and did nothing.
Eh, they both look fine to me, even if Rising is a bit rough around the edges. Not really understanding the Zombie-U disappointment, appropriate expectations are key I guess. Either way it hardly looks offensive, and I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt considering it's a launch title.
Are we looking at the same pics / videos? Zombie Wii looks great.

It is proper multiplayer. I believe there can be up to four survivors if it's the evolution of killer freak's multiplayer.

A first person game in which you can possibly wield a fire arm... so are we going down the "why isn't there deathmatch!!" road again?
I can fully appreciate concerns about length, value, etc.
But this isn't Left 4 Dead. In fact, with the way it works, a lot of traditional, rubber stamped multiplayer modes seem like they'd defeat the point.
A Souls style asynchronous system feels as if it'd greatly benefit what the game is aiming for.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Is that CGI trailer what we can expect from Xbox 3 and PS4 games?

Like everything else about the Wii U; Nintendo has no online infrastructure/strategy...
Looks like Xbox 360. Guess this confirms those rumors...
So much fail about this console... it's depressing.
Are you willing to pay $1000+?.

Maybe a third generation fighting game from a top tier studio can get somewhat of a look like that? I don't know lol
I was a little easy...$2000 on a loss? lol.
psshh...laughable

Very, very interested to see how this does.
Generally speaking, horror-themed games are considered really niche so having this up front on a console launch (and a Nintendo console at that) should be a fascinating test-case.
The key problem is that a lot of people (apparently) really aren't into scary games; its less a question of violence than tone and intent. The trajectory of the Res Evil franchise into more or less a violent action-game (with monsters) is symbolic of this.
Personally, I'd like it to do well as it might breathe a bit more life into the genre, but I can't help but think its going to sell really poorly on the Wii-U due to it not meshing at all wiyth Nintendo's traditional audience's wants, and the feeling that the whole zombie-craze is finally running out of steam.

Huh, I actually have a different take on it. Maybe you're right that generally "scary" games are on the downswing, but zombies seem bigger than ever in popular culture. I could see this game doing pretty well by virtue of that fact.

If that depresses you, you need more things to worry about in your life.

I posted the pics to show the improvements in the game since E3 & were taken from a streaming video.
I guess I shouldn't take that reply seriously though since the last part can't be in the area of truth since not all the Wii U's features have been discussed in detail and there are a lot more third party games that haven't even been announced that will be there at launch.

Other than this and that platinum game's title. I have no interest in any of their first party titles.

If you want articles on your console - the perma death Zombie game will do the job nicely!
Nintendo just needs to 'merge' these things together with other games. Its the overall package their selling, not single games.

I thought this game had a sort of pseudo Dark Souls style online set up where people could actually leave notes and whatnot. Also, if you are scratch or something and turning into a zombie, you can have someone mercy kill you and take your stuff. Maybe I'm losing it.
Both of these things are correct.

So....why the hell does everyone keep saying there is no online element to this game?
Well, there's a definite online element, but no traditional COD style shoot your online buddies multiplayer mode (at least to my knowledge)
It is what it is, though. And I like what it is.
Your opinions are laughable.

That's his sleeve you circled.
EDIT: I don't know if this will be Red Steel'ed, but it looks really good. Best zombie fps rhythm and tone I've seen.
Look closer, you've just circled his sleeve. It just blends into the background because it's a similar colour and the FLV compression blurs the edges. Here's a higher res shot that shows things clearer.

Someone's colorblind.
because, beyond the fact that overlaid video footage would just look tacky as hell, you would also never see the hands and arms if they were "animated" realistically in a first person game. The FoV is just too small, hence FPS arm animators tend to go for visual impact and clarity over realism.
Not really, I see it now, but the compression on the video was so bad that it washed the colors out, making the wall look like his sleeve.
Thanks!

Haha, I'd love to see that question asked at a Ubisoft meeting and snapshots of individuals faces at the moment the question sinks in.

Wow, this thread turned to shit quick.
The game will be fantastic, as it's already showing much promise - both in graphics and gameplay. At worst it'll be good.
Looks good.
How anyone can say that this looks bad is beyond me. If running this smoothly and looking like this is bad, then I just don't know what to say other than "What a false ass opinion." or some other poorly chosen cluster.
