well, think of me what you want, fanboy, etc.
but it the gameplay looked much more interesting than watchdog

graphically, it definitely looked much better than L4D.

Hard to say that until we get more footage but it does look great. Weather effects are something we have to see, explosions, flames, water, etc. It is the much more unique compared to all the other military shooters out there though. I would gather the game will have it's slow and quiet moments with action filled happening at random. Especially since it's easy for you to die. No ducking until health regens. Looks like you either killed what is in front of you or get the hell away and try to lose those chasing you. Stealth and tactics would have to be a big part of the game. Which makes me wonder how exploreable would the world be. That sniper shot in the trailer looks like you can get to the roof top. If so that means going inside of building which could be a death sentence if you bring attention to yourself.
I'm more excited about this now (after being worried and annoyed at the name (which now makes sense but I think Ubisoft just got lucky)) then I ever was for any other shooter coming. What I wonder though if there will be any online multiplayer or if it will just be leader boards if there are any.

Honestly, if this were an announced 360/PS3 title 5 years ago I wouldn't have given a shit or thought it was impressive. Just because they slap the "exclusive" tag on something and *say* it's built from the ground up, doesn't make it so - especially with the rumored random flux of the development kits for this system.
Think about it, you think Ubi Soft is going to waste an actual good development team or franchise as an exclusive for a launch system of any kind? Fuck no.

Is it on rails?
Looks like a House of the Dead set in London. Which isn't a bad thing.

Condemned, Kameo and PGR3, doll.
And I'm not sure why people are comparing this to L4D; L4D has a lot more going on at a time than they showed during Zombi U, this game is more comparable to Dead Island

I have to ask. If the rumour of 1.5Gig of memory is true. Why aren't they using it. Texture resolution and shadow detail is woeful.

That actually looks better.

Looks very current gen, like an average 360 game. But some of the controller ideas are pretty cool. Sounds like it could be pretty fun.
According to the trailer, it will be ace to create a sense of urgency seeing what's coming if you don't manage your inventory or solve a puzzle quick enough, and exactly the same way you'd do it in real life: looking elsewhere from what you're doing.
I think the two screen thing is meant to emphasize the tension. Notice that the game didn't pause at all during the sequence where the survivor was attempting to hack that door. He was looking down at his device (WiiPad) and frantically trying to find the code while the zombies were creeping towards him on the television. And always just one bite away from permadeath.
I think it could be pretty cool, like when you're in your inventory you have to look down at the controller just like the character has to look into his bag. You're distracted and so is your in-game avatar, an enemy could attack at any moment. Should be tense.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Thanks!
Edit: looks decent enough graphically, clearly not an AAA effort even if WiiU is only current gen like, but it was too short to tell much about the gameplay. Again, the concept is intriguing, if the world is big and the missions and encounters varied and the survival aspect intense. Kind of like L4D or RE as a more hardcore roguelike, permadeath and seeing your dead old self with a new game.

In the presentation there was this part where the user was holding the controller in front of the TV and a zombie attacked when he lowered the tablet. I expect that to happen alot.
He means actually show a live gameplay demonstration and not fake non-hype prerendered target videos.
I agree. The live demo we got later on Spike TV should have been what we got on stage. Hoping for more demo footage of this later.

I like a lot the idea of the gameplay, and also the lightning the game had.

I could do this all day, but lets not derail the thread.
No dynamic lighting or shadowing. No 3D space particles. Christ the main character does not even have a shadow there.
Also lets show how the game looks most of the time.

They should've called it "Zombie U" and make it like a Bully spinoff where everyone at University are zombies, eventually resulting in the zombie apocalypse.

from what I saw in the GT demo, beside the face models, I think few fps looks better than it (on consoles at least); for example, it looks better than Deus Ex
I thought the game would look like shit, cause the footage at ND showed too much of their faces, but that's really the only bad part of it.
---
the 'no story' feature is basically what RE has become, just without trying to look like a b-rated block buster
---
man, only if there was more incentives to buy the console...
it's not ingame rendering
From the gameplay demonstration on GT (which isn't the most clear and continuous video) the second and third screens don't look implausible.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. There are jaggies, do you mean they are cleaned up?

I think the chose Zombi U since one of Ubisoft's first games was Zombi.
