Just noticed the OT, I missed the mistake one. Anyway it looks good! I'm definetly interested to read reviews and hear gafs impressions on ZombiU. I'm not a survival horror fan, so I'll hold off on day one, but this looks pretty neat. The GamePad usage looks really well done. If I hear good things I'll pick it up after my wallet recovers from the launch day blues.

I thought it was too but Amazon recently changed it to 11/18

hmmm, not sure who to trust. maybe Amazon is being shady, so that they can ship the games on the 13th using regular cheap shipping, but to the consumer still act like they are doing release day/overnight shipping on the 18th?

Or they are just being safe.

Amazon is being goofy it seems. For Blops II they changed it to say: "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available."

And someone one GFAQs said they just got it today in the mail from Amazon.

Great OT title change! Good job OP.


IGN's review is going up next wednesday (probably an embargo, so other sites will post reviews as well).

I'm very curious to see how it scores. I had to sound like a dick, but I'd say reviews influence my purchases more than most gamers.

GameStop says the 18th.

It's not just Amazon. Newegg has it as the 18th now too. So maybe it got moved. Either way we can't play it till the 18th at the earliest anyway. lol

dammit, not me, I did the newegg promo, and their 3 day free shipping. Was hoping for the 13th so I would have it at launch. dammit.

Yea I took advantage of that for Halo 4, NSMB U, and Zombi U here. So I'll only have Nintendo land and a couple of WII games I've picked up. So I totally know your pain.

After seeing videos of this game I might just have to day one it, but financial responsibility dictates that I only get one launch game, and the ND showing of Mario got me hyped. Agh, what to do. I didn't preorder, though, so perhaps there isn't a decision to make at all.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Looking forward to this game. All of the previews I've read say that it definitely isn't another Red Steel so I'm optimistic.
 
Okay, I haven't read any previews or seen any videos other than a couple because I don't want to spoiler any scares or surprises for myself.

But I only have one question that has yet to be answered. Does anyone know how this game progresses? Is it chapter to chapter, like Left 4 Dead? Chapter to chapter with a slight open world like Dead Island? Completely open world? Half-life style progression? What?

This game will probably end up being lame. I don't understand why there is fuss about it.

There's a big fuss about it because everything they've shown so far suggests the complete polar opposite of what you just said. It looks to be a very good game from the stuff that's been shown off.

I believe it's a semi-open world where you take missions to venture into areas off the safe house hub. There are shortcuts through sewers to unlock that make traversal easier, and the randomly generated zombie hoard may be thicker in one area at the moment than in another. Encouraging abandoning that area to do missions in an area where the zombies are thinner.

As for the actual narrative elements, I haven't read if there are chapters in terms of the story moving on to a new overall set of missions or overall context.

Well, I can't tell you anything about my #ZombiU review just yet, so don't ask me, but what I will say is: YES

tekTQ on twitter:
Halfway through ZombiU review. I don't see why this game shouldn't be a nominee for GOTY. Incredible! #goty

This smells good.
