Looks like a decent 360/PS3 game with really nice lightning effects.
Which is pretty good for a launch game on a new gen.

The devs have said that ZombiU was inspired by Dark Souls. Matter of fact, it's the favorite game of the creator.
Love. They're really putting a lot behind this franchise by the looks of it - I'm impressed. I've said before (in other forums) but the production value seems really very good for a new ip on a new console. Nuts On The Road from Ubisoft.

Oh my bone, this looks awesome. Much better than what the game started out as (Killer Freaks from Space.)
This game could very well carry the initial launch of the Wii U.

Maybe I'm missing something but, what are those flying things in the sky at around 1:25 ?

The lighting is really nice in the video. The "music" is creepy as hell. Ubisoft may have something here.

My God, this game is looking fucking ACE.

Ready to pre-order a black Wii U as soon as it's available on Amazon.
That's a good point, as the style doesn't look like it requires much twitch aiming. But still, it would bring hope for future fps if it supported Wiimote aiming.

they seem to be so 3DS focused right now maybe after the LL/XL launch

I want this game, but seeing as I jumped out of my chair when the zombie got up and screamed after being killed...I'll have to think about it.

Yes: "ZombiU 10 Minutes Direct Feed Gameplay HD (E3 2012)"
Haha, I never noticed that before.

When I first heard about this game, I rolled my eyes at it, but credit where credit is due. visually it looks very competent and it seems to utilise a lot of pretty interesting ideas. I'm not into zombies at all, but it just placed itself on my radar.
I'd like to see Activisons walking dead FPS do something with the wiiu, if done right, it could be seriously brutal: use the controller to touch the parts of a leg you want to amputate; use the controller to brutalise a guy whos trying to rape your son; use the controller to scan an area.
Seriously.
Seriously.
This could turn out well for them - even just launching at the same time will rack up a fair amount of sales, I bet.

ZombiU looks good as hell I seriously think people are trolling and smiling hard as fuck when they say it looks worse than 360 game or something along those lines.
That's a really good idea, actually.
I'd like to see your character's arm shake when you are surprised (of when they become afraid of one possibly being nearby--by sound or environmental queues) by a zombie thereby affecting your shots (not all characters would be as scared as others--another random element to the character). That would be pretty awesome IMO.
hahaha I migth actually buy the game if it involves a Rabbids mode
The more I think about it, the more I realise the character system is fucking awesome - you're given a random person to control, which already adds a sense of realism, providing Ubisoft includes enough variety - and then when you die, you encounter your previous character as a walking corpse like the others... makes it seem like this is one big, overlapping journey of many characters, which is ace.
Well this is my only complain with the Wii U, and actually the biggest reason i have for avoid this game, I don't want to play shooters with no wiiremote controller option, Wii mote and Keyboard + mouse are the only controller methods I like for shooting games
So one thing I've always wondered with this character system is, what would happen if you just keep dying over and over at the very start right outside your safe house?
Could you have like a hundred zombies of your old characters just waiting out there then?
the only thing im worried about is the intelligence of your enemies. i know, zombies dont tend to be (attention, cheap pun ahead) brainiacs but i have seen some footage where the enemies where sticked to invisible barriers, walls etc.
except that, im hyped. finally a (more or less) shooter where the death of your character matters.

This isnt a wii u exclusive right?
Love to play this game but dont plan on getting a wii u. Sounds like game would be fine without the special controller to me...

Seems like the whole state of the game is persistent. Cool thing I noticed was that when you picked up antibiotics for the mission and then get killed your new mission will be to kill your old char as he will still have the antibiotics with him. Zombies also stay dead and stuff that has been opened, the floor that broke under you, all that stuff carries over.
it's WiiU exclusive
Also, the controller is pretty integral to a lot of the cool ideas which are making the game unique. Not to mention no HUD which does so much for the realism factor
Exclusive. Maybe something else comes down the line, but I expect it to remain exclusive for a long time, if not ever.
Condemned's fighting system was horrible. I hope it's not he case with this game.

Yeah, I'm wondering if people are underestimating the extra immersion no HUD might add to gaming experience.
Even though the team has multiplatform experience with the recent Tintin title and despite starting out as a 360/PS3 title, it's currently only planned for Wii U.

Holy fuck, just saw the CG trailer again after reading some of the commets here that there was a really nice detail of the survivors in each scene appearing in the next one as the attacking zombie. Its really is! The bus guy in the first scene attacks the mall lady and old man in trenchcoat in the next, those two then attack the man blowing up his head in the office, that man attacks the guy inside the car and falls off the tower bridge, then the guy in the car attacks the one of the queen's guards that appears turning into a zombi after the logo.
Brilliant and it explains so well the concept of the game, and I never notice until people here said.

Also I love the version of God Save the Queen they used.

Right? I Havnt really thought about it until now. But whilst watching those videos it felt like it was a cutscene or something and I couldn't put my finger on why - but it's the zero HUD. Excellent.
This game is specifically designed around the WiiU's capabilities, both graphically and with the GamePad. Stop portbegging.

Good eye. There seems to be more than zombies in this game. In the E3 playthroughs I've seen had that weird spirit like figure go past the screen and when someone asked that dev what that was all about, she kind of brushed off the question and said there's more going on in the story than they were willing to tell at the moment. There's definitely plenty of stuff we don't know yet about this game.
Watch around 4:50 in this video to see what I'm talking about.
