This game looks ok, but honestly is this what makes me want to buy a wiiU???

Also when the fuck is Nintendo going to stop with the gimmicks and release an ACTUAL game console?

I have to admit that I'm really surprised how good this looks. Not only from a graphics standpoint but also gameplay seems to be really solid

Looks like a great game. Its a shame I'll never play it, since I would never buy a Wii U. And its really a shame that the dumb ass developers don't understand that the Wii demographic would never buy this game. Anybody remember Madworld?

@angryfanboys cried:

Buaaa! Buaaaa! This game is too cool and "hardcore" for nintendo. Buaaa! Only my PS3/XBOX can have games with zombies! Buaaaa! Microsoft/Sony do what Nintendon't! *sniff*

Seriously people, if you don't like the game/developer/brand then don't buy it but stop bashing for no reason.

I don't know if this will be a good or a bad game but I really want to play a survival horror game with more "survival" elements on it. Sadly the only modern day survival horror with emphasis on the survival that I can think of is DayZ.

This looks like it'll be better without the silly WiiU Controller. It should be just like we see it here on the preview but instead of a picture of a Wiiu controller, we just see a box.

Played this today. Had an okay time with it except for the default aim sensitivity felt really low to me. I hope you can crank it up in the full game.

Sound production sounds all right, not really in to the forced methodical pacing in horror games, though. Was also over zombies before they went in and out of vogue.

Anyways, ZombiU looks like it'll be a pretty okay game though.

Left 4 Dead 2 and The Walking Dead? I think that that trio of DayZ. L4D and The Walking Dead encompass everything zombie games have tried to do.

Sure hope I can use just classic controller or wiimote+nunchuck. The scanner is such a gimmick.

I thought it looks promising. But I'm not buying a WiiU, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Seems okay. Not really wanting a first person zombie fighting simulator though. The cricket bat did make me think, "Hey... You've got some red on you."

You know what, I really dig what they're doing with the WiiU controller and the tension it creates, I just wish the aesthetic wasn't so flat and generic.

Generic as fuck. If you've played any zombie shooter before, then you've pretty much played this game. Wouldn't even buy it if I had a wii u.

I dunno guys, I think this looks... fine. I'm probably going to end up with a Wii U anyway, and I'll probably play this, and I doubt it'll be great but it certainly doesn't look bad either.

This looks a looooooot like Dead Island, I'm sorry. At least the weapons won't fall apart in this though (hopefully).

Heh... people defend it can only muster up "it doesn't look that bad."

I think it looks pretty awesome. As far as zombie FPS games go it looks better than any out there. Still not sure that it warrants me buying a Wii U. I just imagine having that big clunky screen controller in my hands and most games utilizing it poorly.

using the wiiu controller to manage inventory is a pretty cool idea because it adds to the tension, like fuck I gotta rummage through my bag lemme do this as quickly as possible before i get eaten by a fuckin zombie. Its not supposed to be ultra convenient. it looks like a decent launch title.

Agreed. I'm not sure I'll love it, but I think it looks like a fun game. Can't be any worse than Red Steel, right?

Well, previously I didn't give a shit about this game OR the Wii U, but this actually looked really competent. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this. I wont be running out to buy a Wii U on day one, but after everything shakes out I may have to check this out.
