I still dislike the name. It's too attached to the platform, limits it's capacities of expansion I think.
They can't really do ZombiU to 3DS or PS Vita... Whatever they decide to do a spin-off at if it sells.
EDIT: Unless Zombi is the name of the IP.

Just mocked this up in PS... not exactly scientific, but there's hardly if any difference. Maybe more definition on the tiles on the wall, but it is just a YouTube grab.
Well it is meant to be an exclusive even though they said it could be ported i doubt it.
EDIT: If they did port it would it then be named Zombi360? and Zombi3?

Yeah hopefully this just the beginning in regards to new gameplay experiences. Honesty I'm more excited for the gamepad than i was for motion controls. It may not have as much of a "wow" factor as motion controls, but I think it can be used more practically than motion controls. Don't get me wrong though I thought the wiimote was great for fps/ light gun games but it didn't really add much beyond that. For me anyways.
Agree, I got way too use to using Wiimote/chuck for FPS. I still think it would be nice if they allowed that setup along with the gamepad at the same time. Just have the gamepad lay on your lap and still be used for inventory and map uses, but let me move and aim/shoot with my perfect pointer controls.

Nice, Hopefully Ubisoft shows off a 1080p quality video of it soon.
Yes, the remote could be the gun, and the pad the bag/scanner, it's perfect, if they want more "tension" you have to lower your gun while looking for something in your bag!!!
Exactly, it would only add to the realism/survival aspect of the game. Although there is a line that can be crossed when getting too gimmicky can make it turn to be not as fun anymore.
It could be a lot of fumbling around if you do have to go back and forth a lot.

Ubi should do something about the floating arm 30 seconds into the video. yikes.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Oh boy! I've been predisposed from this thread for the last week (internet porn) and have come back to find nearly 20 pages to catch up on! Have there been any interesting news/discussion the past week? Or should I just skip all those pages?
Reminds me of the pre-E3 days, where every day I'd wake up to see 8-10 pages to catch up on. But those were a little easier as the posts were short and all condensed around a few current topics.

I'm with you on this. If they're going for the whole realistic, crouch down and look through you bag idea, taking a second or two to fumble with your controller would actually add to the tension. If ZombiU doesn't implement this style of gameplay, I really hope others (or perhaps a sequel, if it sells) at least experiment with it. This dual analog shit is for the birds.
Over where mate? You don't feed trolls, you out troll'em
It's as HylianTom says, the Teacher-Student process is a sure fire way to get banned.
Today, I was just called a blind, rabid Nintendo apologist, just for me making a sarcastic reply to a troll. I had a nasty reply ready, but thankfully, I backspaced that shit. But man did I want to send it.
Pretty sure there is a an olive colored shirt sleeve on the arm. It just kinda blends into the background.

Do what I do. PM them asking for their home address. Then send tell them what you really think via hand written letter/materials. NeoGaf can not ban you for stuff you say via snail mail.

I'm SO sorry to going back to specs but this site says this is "leaked" specs of the PS4.
http://www.vgleaks.com/world-exclusive-ps4-in-deep-first-specs/
TLDR SPECS
CPU
4 core (2 core pairs) 3.2 GHz AMD x86 (Steamroller)
aggregate, 10x PS3 PPU performance
512 KByte L2 per core pair
64 bit pointers
GPU
AMD R10x series GPU @ 800 MHz (Tahiti)
aggregate 10x RSX performance, 1.84 TFlops
DX”11.5″
cheap branching
18 compute units, focus on fine grained compute & tessellation
MEMORY:
2 GByte UMA, pushing for 4 GByte
192 GByte/ sec non-coherent access for e.g. GPU
12 GByte/ sec coherent access for CPU
>50% longer memory latency for CPU/ GPU compared to PC!!!
DXT is lowest bpp texture compression format
MEDIA:
50 GByte BD drive
PCAV, between 3.3 and 8x BD, most likely clamped to 6x
automatic background caching to HDD
HDD SKU with at least 380 GByte
downloadable games
EXTRA HARDWARE:
video encoder/ decoder
audio processing unit, ~200 concurrent MP3 streams
HW zlib decompressor
Our source claims that the final specs should be 10x powerful than PS3, due to this info has got 10 months.
How do this really go with the Wii U?
Again I'm sorry.

To be fair, alot of the issues with Red Steel came down to the gesture recognition and IR pointing bounding box issues. Many devs struggled with this early on, and Red Steel 2 was a major improvement (tho still flawed - arbitrary points of no return are absolute madness). Graphically, yeah it was nowhere near the bullshots, but I had fun with it as a rental. As long as ZombiU's framerate doesn't take a nosedive frequently, it's shaping up to be a solid launch title.

Does it have a cool controller with a built in screen for asymmetric gameplay?
Or even a cool pointer controller
Is it coming out this year... or even next year?
If not, then I dont care to compare.
So torn on ZombiU.
- Would like to support Ubi (at least with Red Steel we got Red Steel 2 out of it)
- Looks too stressful (I realize that is the point, and it could be stressful in a good way - the original Pikmin was a little stressful too)
- Too many other games!
Maybe I can rent it and get through most of it.

That's a good way to put it. It's 'safe', which is perfectly fine for a launch game and probably the smartest route business-wise.

I love the texture work in the nursery. The juxtaposition of cleanness vs gore is skillfully done there.

You know, one thing I haven't noticed in any of the ZombiU videos is much ragdoll physics with 'non-important' items.
Like in the nursery, there are a lot of things lying around, but if you walk into them does anything happen? Like the beach ball, teddy bear, etc.
I think something to really push the hardware would have been to make almost everything in the world useable. To me, that would really scream NEXT GEN. How fun would it be to kick that beach ball in a zombie's face, which would cause a 1 second hiccup to them and then blast them in the face. Or use items like that as a distraction.
It was kinda disappointing to me to see things like the shotgun and ammo pickups be shiny's and outlined. That pretty much says only certain things can be picked up or used.

Erm, you might want to reconsider that as English is not even my second language.
I have a potentially interesting question.
Anyone who has played Wii online has probably noticed quite a bit of lag. I've poured hours into GoldenEye, for example, and it's obvious that the Wii bottlenecks the crap out of the available bandwidth. People with 50 Mbps down on their laptop experience 3 Mbps on the Wii.
With the Wii U coming, undoubtedly it will have improved online capabilities. So, my questions are:
1. Do you think we will be able to play Wii games online on Wii U?
2. If so, will the increased available bandwidth be utilized? Will we suddenly have a decent experience online with Wii games?
Certainly Nintendo WFC doesn't have the best infrastructure, either, so any lag or problems induced by it will still be there.

MW3 is one of the better examples of Wii online, but the host suffers lag. Not played it much, but most Wii owners say BLOPs is the best online experience for them.

Yup, that was all unveiled at E3. Certainly appears to be something different.

Speaking of zombies, does anyone else think RE6 will end up being awful? I've not been impressed with what I've seen of it.

Q about Zombie U. Will they change the height of the first person view depending on the survivor you are playing?

Did you look at the date, its very old.
I did after I posted it.
I have no faith in the franchise any more after witnessing the shift in direction/style it has taken. Truly sad.
I'm hoping that ZombiU will step in to fulfill my desire for tense survival-style gaming.
The concept sounds very good, but the execution so far.. meh..
I hate, HATE the fact that these "new" characters are all introduced in exactly the same manner, kills any realism or actual threat of the game IMO.
Plus, it looks like a survival horror but it plays like an FPS. What I mean by that is, yes, it has all the elements right, but it lacks a certain atmosphere that separates good horrors from great ones, it has an atmosphere of a dark FPS, but that's about it really.
Sorry for being so down on the game, for what its worth, the rest of Ubi's line up looks very very promising for the Wii U.
I've just finished my rewatch of all 10 - fucking awesome series.
Got a real laugh attack from that pic.
Watching SG-1 all over again finally some proper quality on DVD I bought some time ago, and in 4-th season right now
I imagine the USB 2 move was primarily due to ubiquity. Most people don't have USB 3 enclosures and USB 2 is über popular still. If they went USB 3 devs still would have to have optimised for USB 2 anyway.Another Junior here I'm afraid. Thanks for all the WUST threads people, its been a joy/horror to read/follow. Rather 'psyched' to now be able to join in the fun
I'm also a little confused about the USB 3.0 omission. I mean I fully expected it, just cos. But does it really cost that much more to implement? I heard it can aid and cheapen the manufacturing process (quicker flashing) - would that not out weigh the initial cost?
