Another Day, Another ZombiU Trailer

I don't like the implication here that the game actually gives you a horrible zombie disease. Seems like that might hurt sales.

A lot of games like you advertise themselves as addictive, this one comes out and says it's contagious.

Few people release that the weird Zombi name actually stems from Ubi's very first release

hooray for random unknown 'franchise' revivals!

Also the game is fucking awesome and very refreshing for the fps/survival horror genre. I've demo'd it and came away delighted

Parts look pretty cool, but is anyone else irritated that the controller keeps getting in the way of the screen in the trailer? I was.

@haggis: clearly that's simply there to give you a sense of specific functionality and interaction that will come up sparsely? Obviously you dont need to play with the gamepad held out in front of you constantly

So don't play this game, or it will give you cancer.

As much as I feel zombie games have been done to death, this still seems pretty fun. If I ever get a wiiu this will most likely be a purchase for me.

Good, because i couldn't get my head around menu options without a touch device on a seperate screen, all that up down left right, complicated stuff.

This looks like a really interesting take on Zombie survival. When I eventually get a WiiU, this will be one of the games I definitely try. Though that will be quite a while down the road.

I get wanting inventory management on the controller screen, but why would I ever want to hold this thing up to my screen so I can a turret or sniper rifle? That just screams novelty and forcing you to control to game in a weird way for the sake of using the new features. This is part of the reason why I hate launch games. They''re always full of all the gimicky crap.

Zombie U looks really intriguing. I don't think it will sell very well though.

I wasn't suggesting otherwise. I just wanted to see what was on the screen, and the controller was in the way. I know why they did it. I just thought it was irritating.

I involuntarily rolled my eyes every time CGI hands wiped imaginary sweat away from virtual brow. That being said, I'm planning on giving this game a whirl.

Next to Tube Slider this might be the worst name for a game in our lifetime.

The rogue-like and friend list integration parts of this game seem really interesting. Also, cannot believe the restraint Ubisoft has shown by not spelling it ZombiiU.

This. Anytime I have to refocus to the controller, while awkwardly holding it up, I'm going to be less accurate. Cut the gimmicks, leave in the inventory stuff.
