IGN: ZombiU Video Preview

do Zombies come with spray paint cans? I have a hard time understanding this lol

You'd have a breakdown of law and order when the zombie apocalypse starts, starting off with vandalism/graffiti and ending up with looting and murder due to people being short of food and water. That's why I'm preparing for it properly. I'm currently stockpiling tinned food and weapons.

This is going to happen. You all need to be ready.

*Adjusts tin foil hat*

First thing you need to do is get out of any populated areas. Cholera and Typhoid will be rife.

Next you need to gather as many tins of food and bottles of water you can.

Gather survivors together and build a community.

Move out to the country and find a farm. And fortify it.

Go to the nearby village and burn the bodies. Fortify the village.

Do all this and have a secure supply line between the two and you should do well.
 
The ideal location is an abandonded mill somewhere outside of a populated area. Clean running water and free electricity? Yes please.
 
For a change that's not about red steel I thought about the game lenght but red steel 2.
I remember I didn't particularly planned to buy it but after people praising it I end up getting RS2 and was suprised not only by the large choice in combat moves but also the 15h+ it took me to finish it. Zombiu being in the same territory is another promising element. But with how much wiiu is costing and the verdict still up in the air for the game, like RS2 I won't play it immediatly. Now I'll see if people impressions here make the wait worse.
 
What happened to using the camera to create your zombie face that reggie demoed at e3. Was that ever going to be apart of this game or was it just there for show?

It's still there. It's listed on the back of the box as a feature. We just haven't seen anything of it since E3.

That's weird. I wonder what its gonna be used for? I hope after your character dies they make you take a pic of yourself so your friends can Identify you. But then again, I got a feeling people will be identifying males private life lol.
 
toward the end of the video...

"loading the next area"?

wtf? why would they do that?
That was surprising to me too. It does make it more difficult to simply run past hordes of zombies into the next area I guess.

One concern I have is the melee combat. Are there more melee weapons than the cricket bat? More moves than overhead smash or push? Considering the scarcity of ammo and danger of alerting zombies with gunshots, I hope the melee stuff is satisfying enough.

I remember seeing an ice pick ages ago, wouldn't surprise me if we see a variety of weapons you can use to bash a zombie's head in! I'd quite like to have a similar thing to Condemned where you can use pieces of scenery as weapons.

Mind you, cricket bats are pretty sturdy so you're most likely to use that all the way through I reckon.

This concerns me as well. I would love a baseball/cricket bat with barbed wire and nails.

Would be cool to have an axe or machete later on in the game. The cricket bat is cool and beating heads in looks really visceral and gory, but having some different moves to change it up would be nice. Uppercuts, side-to-side swipes and such.
And if melee weapons could break it would add yet another layer of strategy to the gameplay.
 
Let's make some OT titles the trolls would love!

ZombiU |OT| Ubisoft be Red Steel'ing U, yo!

They show a pickaxe in one of the early pre rendered cg trailers(gamepad trailer) and looks like it was used with full motion controls. I dont think the actual finished game uses melee motion controls. So maybe no pickaxe either.
