IGN: ZombiU Video Preview

How do you aim without the reticle? Do you just use the irons?

you can play the last couple battlefields in hardcore mode with no reticule online.

you basically just imagine the center of the screen. and your character should be aiming towards the center as well(over the shoulder) doesn't look like their is iron sight aiming , just scopes.

I liked BF playing like this because it feels more real, and less gamey, as you werent constantly staring at a floating reticule. Its a little more immersive.

Gametrailers 1st level walkthrough

I thought I knew everything about this game wow

New to me is - you can find planks, hammers and nails to use latter on to board of doors and windows

You can eat rats and ravens to boost your HP or if they are infected you will lose HP

also the shortcut thing is nice for if you day far away from the safe house in a level, you can get closer faster if you found the shortcut

this game is gonna be great

Sounds awesome! I am loving the gameplay dynamics of it.
 
This has been one of a handful of games I've been wanting for Wii U. Most of the others have been delayed and won't be their day 1 so I'm glad to hear this one is shaping up so well. Hopefully, this will lead to more true Survival Horror games on all systems. Though the Gamepad seems perfect for this (also Aliens Colonial Marines).

Infected animals? Damn. And what was that ghost in the old demo all about? I actually want to know why the hell that was there.

Anyone that isn't impressed with those graphics doesn't appreciate the little details it has. Game looks great so far.....
 
GT video pretty much sold me, even though it was a bit lacking in the action department.

Thats what I love about the game it has slower parts, then it has parts where its a lot of action going on.

Its funny cuz after some of the videos from NYC CC, some guy was complain that it was too much action in the game, but it was his first time seeing it lol.
 
Destructoïd has a new preview:
http://www.destructoid.com/preview-zombiu-brings-back-true-survival-horror-237344.phtml

My hands-on time with ZombiU showed that Ubisoft knows what it takes to show the big names what true survival horror is all about by returning to the roots, and bringing back what made these games so engaging.

The element I admire the most is the fact that it doesn’t fall into the same trends as other modern zombie games. ZombiU lets players know from the outset that the run-and-gun attitudes of other horror/action games won’t cut it here. Your survivor has to avoid most of the undead, scrounging up any weapons they can find.

One thing I don't get is how the stat system will work in regards to aiming. Your character gets better with weapon the longer he lives and the more you use them, and this goes for aiming said weapon as well, right? How does the aiming get "better" is what I want to know. Is there some random element to it, does it get less kickback, are your headshot boxes larger?

Presumably it'll sway less, no?

That was the best video of ZombiU I've seen. That really showed off the GamePad really well. You can tell Ubisoft has made a legit effort.
 
This is a system seller, game looks amazing. This is a first generation wii u game, can't wait to see what developers are able to do with 2nd and 3rd gen wii u games.


Wii U bi does what capcan't

For things like weapon upgrades (stabilization, larger clip, more damage somehow), you find those scattered within the world and apply them at the safe house. I am also genuinely puzzled at the leveling/stat system. Or perhaps I'm just too lazy to dig deep for it
 
The lighting continues to look very good to me. Ubisoft has admitted they didn't try to push the console graphically, and I still think it looks very good. Very excited to see 2nd wave efforts at Wii-U exclusive games, both from 3rd parties and Nintendo themselves.
 
Oh, the DToid preview confirmed fall damage, was that not yet known? I suppose it would also imply that stuff falling on you will damage you.
 
They improved the blood and the headshots no? It looks satisfying now.

Edit: Woah the color scheme/art direction is very nice too. I haven't followed this game closely but it looks very polished now.
 
These previews have hyped me, damn! Maybe I should go for the ZombiU pack after all, and just download Nintendo Land

Now that you mention it, this game hasn't been announced for digital release has it? Being the top third party title for the system, I would assume it to be available, but I guess it really isn't as of now.
 
Day Z is still the one to beat. so far this doesn't look look as good to me.

The way it swaps to the inventory on the controller is pretty weak. They couldve easily just put that same screen on the TV. A better use of the controller would be a first person view of what's inside the backpacks and being able to fumble through the items with the touch screen.

Day Z can get away with what it does because it's a mod and people can test it without having to purchase it. Day Z also has loooooong periods of nothing. Literally nothing happening. Furthermore it's a Multiplayer experience, this is a decidedly single player game. That alone changes the rules completely.

Zombi U wouldn't work with Day Zs rules and vice versa.

Two approaches, both awesome. Zombi U in my oppinion provides the de facto standard for single player zombie horror games, while Day Z really represents the standard for MP Zombie horror. This is the direction the survival horror genre needs to go. Real consequences, physicality and human abilities grounded in reality.
Instead of arguing which is better, as horror fans we should be fucking celebrating that more games like this, Amnesia or Mods like Day Z are being released. The old kings are dead, long live the new undead kings.

For those moaning about the weak graphics. Yeah, get the latest flavored Blockbuster game instead I guess. I for one will happily trade graphics for atmosphere. I feel sorry for people who need the latest graphics to feel immersed in an atmosphere. I truly do.
I can imagine them playing Day Z or SH and just thinking how the game would be scary if it had AA and better speculars.
