It pisses me off more than it should that the guy narrating that trailer isn't a Cockney.

Great sign that their thinking about a sequel. Ubisoft will have some internal information and just off the back of the low budget and what we already know about pre-orders - it must be well above target.
I think this will affect Ubisoft's future console launch policies. Get a aaa game in there at launch that provides an exclusive experience otherwise not offered by the line up.
Also I would love if ZombiU 2 were released on the other next gen consoles as ZombiU 2
Imagine the bile But no - I think the gamepad is pretty essential and has so far massively helped the marketing. So the franchise should stay Wii U centric.
Sequel would be great. This is a game I would not say no to optional co-op for!

You guys know it's a reboot of an old Ubi game called Zombi, right?
I thought it was a redo of a gremlin game.

I figure if this does even marginally well (which since it's a launch title I expect it to) the sequel's in the bag. Set it in New York, LA or Chicago, add online multiplayer, boom done.

Where've you got this from? I'm British and I've never met anyone who hates the Irish!

Cool trailer, but... why is an American doing the voice over for a game set in London?
Spreading misinformation!
Everything tastes better with some potatoes!

This. Really annoyed that it isn't narrated by David Jason/Michael Caine.

There was a distaste for the Irish in the 1980's due to IRA activity and a surge in Irish immigrants in London/Other Cities, but that's pretty non-existent now.
There is still a pretty large amount of Irish people who dislike the British though, for obvious, yet backwards reasons.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Jim beat the game last night:
Somebody make him talk!

The Polygon interview elaborates on this. It was codenamed ZombiU due to the legacy and thematic similarities, but not at all intended as a reboot/reimagining/remaje/reanything.
Oh god that would be cool, you'd barricade buildings and shit while the other player sent hordes of zombies after you.
Agreed
The ad is a ripoff of Zombiland so I guess they wanted a US voice.
I never played Red Steel. (Thank God?)
Now I'm just moderately upset that I want a Wii U.
how did you get to play it?
Cross post from the Wii U Launch Thread, but figured people would want to know:
FYI: Newegg is shipping out my Zombi U on Friday and said I can expect it on Monday the 19th.
Here's the email I got from them:
good to know. I am torn if I should just pick up the game from GS when I get the system, and just return the newegg copy to GS when it arrives. Though i am moving this weekend, so I dont have much at all time to play. I have monday off to unpack, but dont know when deliveries arrive at the new place. I want to play it sunday and monday night. But dont wanna deal with going back to GS.
would be awesome, if it arrives sat. Their closest shipping center is in LA, only about 6 hours away. but I doubt it.
I believe it is listed for the Japanese launch, so I would hope it will be here for NA as well. Though no size posted yet.

About that...
The ONM Verdict
91%
While one of the Wii's purposes is to attract non-gamers, Red Steel was clearly designed with the hardcore gamer in mind. It's slick, addictive and as close to 'cool' as a game can get.
http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/2597/reviews/red-steel-review/?page=2
I'll wait for other outlets to weigh in before putting any weight on an ONM review
Could someone give us a summary of the ZombiU review?
Theres a zombiu comic here:

He's got a Grim Fandango avatar so he must be some kind of arbiter of good taste. Hype rising!
That type of thinking is only valid if the same person writes both reviews.

And also if that person has not changed in six years.
Yeah, you could easily get caught up in hype for Red Steel or REALLY like the controls for first person aiming. And to be honest, Red Steel isn't TERRIBLE, it's just that it's basically the FPS equivalent of a fun-but-trashy, throwaway action film from the 90s. A fun rental but nothing you will want to KEEP.
I guess those things could still hold, but given that touch screens aren't exactly as novel as motion controls were then you'd really have to step your game up to impress, and it seems ZombiU did just that.

It's a long while before you even get grenades, and that opens up your options quite a bit. The sword fights can just totally stonewall progress though.

I'm not against the game in any way and want it to be a critical as well as commercial success, just reminding people not to jump the gun and get hyped too early when we should await an aggregate score. Whether the same reviewer has scored both games or not is sort of irrelevant if we're unfamiliar with the publication's integrity. Scores can be artificially inflated after all. In any case, we'll know very soon, so here's to hoping
I know this is a little bit off topic but...
This game looks very atmospheric and bring the horror back with the survival.
I just cant stop thinking about fatal frame using the Wii U Gamepad.
I think I heard that Nintendo is now a co-ownership of this franchise if I remember right.
Anyway, I cant wait to get my hands on this one. Hopefully it will scare me like Amnesia did! (Probly not but I can still hope.)

Never thought of that, that would be really cool.
Me personally, I thought FF4 was an excellent game. I'd love to see what they could do on the wiiU.

The Wii U pad seems like it was custom made for a Fatal Frame game. It'd be stupid to not have FF 5 take advantage of it.
What, Spirit Camera? That was basically a tech demo set in the Fatal Frame universe.
Glad to hear it.
if you want, I can do a redub
anyway, just preordered this. If there are issues I'm most curious about what those will be since game seems pretty much flawless from all the previews/tweets/details
