No offense but you sound like someone who knows nothing about game design. Budget and time are the two most prevailing factors for how a game looks.
Since it is already known that this game has a modest budget, we know that this was a limiting factor. We also know that this game is a launch title and had only been in its current incarnation since after E3 last year.
So we're talking a modest budget FPS, with a development period of around 16 months and on dev-kits that were only recently finalized. I shouldn't even have to break all of this down to someone, as many of these things are simple common sense. Expecting Assassins Creed or Bioshock is rather ridiculous. Games with that level of detail take years to make, at a hefty cost, and will almost never make a systems launch.
Back on subject. The game looks great. Can't wait to get lost in this world. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife.

Oh. Well I have no doubt about the quality of it then. Nintendo sending the Mario Club team means it's got proper QA. That's something most Ubisoft games don't have.

You should go ahead and preorder. With Black Friday and holidays right after the release, this might be one of those hard to find titles

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
So, there are levels? How does that work with open world? It's just a hub like that recent Wolfenstein game? :/
For launches I usually allow a little extra for games just in case.
Nintendo games never drop in price so might as well get NSMB immediately, and zombiU looks like the only other must have at launch.
I hope there is time to have reviews before launch though, in case any of the Multiplatform titles stand out - even better textures or a more solid framerate would have me considering assassins creed for instance
Is tesco usually cheaper for day 1 launch games or something?
You get a mini-map I believe in safe houses that allow you to travel to other safe houses.
So I guess more like a quick travel system?
And each level is probably a specific area.
There are secret warpzones too.

I was referring to the fact it's not really open world if there are in factual actual numbered levels you go through in a linear fashion, from 1 to 14 to 17, to game's end. Whether you can backtrack to previous levels via quick travel or not.

I think that's talking more about the skill level system. Remember your characters can level up in the game and when you die you lose all those levels that character had and have to re-level from scratch.
Sounds like a honest opinion.
Your opinion is shit. Read other previews; IGN is not the only site praising the game.
The game doenst look impressive but say it looks like shit doenst add or lead to anything.
I wasnt impressed by the game either but the last gametrailers walktrough look very good
Why do you say that?

..hmmm...(Has no avatar).... you sir added nothing to this topic. If your going to say something at least break it down why you feel that way. Otherwise it just looks like trolling and if you keep that up, it bye bye neo gaf!
What about the GameTrailer and Gamesradar previews?
Also, it might not be great looking (to you), but the gameplay sure does look like it makes up for it.

Game looks brilliant was just going to borrow my brothers copy sometime (he ordered the zombiu pack me the NL one) but may have to pick this up myself
Best part of the videos is the lightening..
Heh - this is actually the game that got me to pre-order a Wii U.
And I havent spent significant time gaming on a Nintendo console since the
N64.

Red Steel
it wasn't shit at NYCC; just merely mediocre. Since Zombie U appears to be the only game at Wii U launch that isn't either a port, NSMB or mini-games, so I guess I'm getting it by default, but I really hope the final game has more enjoyable mechanics. It is a great concept, but it played like a 6.0 level shooter. Some of the stuff talked about in the IGN video though make me at least slightly more optimistic, I really hope the game comes into its own when you have a long period of time to play and have to really be concerned with resource management.
I've only seen a couple bums who hardly justified their comments call it "garbage". Nice try, though!

Nintendo sent some of their Mario Club to test and debug ZombiU.

Oh, should have done this for Red Steel amirite? :3
Good news though, need more bugfree goodness
i think Nintendo would have needed to send a whole development team to fix that Red Steel mess
there were definitely demos. i think some places started sounding the alarm closer to launch, though.
A lot of people noted its rough state at E3 though, but the idea of motion sword+gun stuff was too much for many and they just rode the concept on a wave of euphoric hope
It's hard to find now, but I believe there were some previews saying how unpolished/janky it was before the Wii's release.
So they were just being polite about it being shit?
I got burned by that game, damn it. :/ ZombiU looks good, but I swear to God if I get fooled by another Ubisoft launch title...
ZombiU at NYCC already seemed better than Red Steel ever was, so there's that.
That said, I will be looking at it with my typical "launch window" skepticism. How much content does the game have? How much of it is repeated to arbitrarily extend length? How polished is the visual engine? Does it contain industry standard functionality, or was some of it cut to rush to launch? We already know online is not really implemented for the multiplayer, so it's all in the bag for review.

This. Though its not hard to look at the RS topic from that time and see the writing was on the wall. Ubisoft had dumb ideas on controls and refused to address concerns based from what people were saying.
Are there "bosses" in ZombieU? That'd be cool if there was...
