how fair is it when we are almost sure it may not cost even half of PS3 when it launched and will not be on piss poor hardware to go RROD?

plus, the video you linked of condemned, did you check the tags?
So it doesn't. I like how you linked to the PC version btw lol.

Do you live in a universe where every PC game looks like The Witcher 2's best parts or something? Not that a mid range PC would handle that well but anyway, in the one I live it's more common to get games not even on par with Batman, and I also don't tend to judge my PC's visual capabilities by a few games here and there that don't happen to have the biggest budgets behind them. Not to mention people love PC games made in outdated engines like Source with low-end friendly assets without being embarassed. I'm not really sure what you're arguing here. No, ZombiU isn't the latest AAA blockbuster. That's been settled I think. So, what now? What's the point in stating it over and over and over again when others simply try to discuss its actual potential as a game? It's been established the system is at least on par with PS360 since it's getting a few rather big (if forgotten by the time it's out) multiplatform ports so what's the purpose of constantly pointing out this or that game doesn't even reach that level?
Trying to prove a point and breaking out the PC version? Bad form.
As far as I'm concerned, the effects are quite good, offset by the assets, which may have been a deliberate sacrifice for time considerations and IQ (which, you know, is easy to achieve on PC). I find this to be perfectly acceptable.
Just read about the zombified friends invading your game feature. Love it.

I just think the lackluser conference left a bad taste in us; but the actual stuff isn't really that bad; we'll take time for the bad taste to be washed away though and till then even good stuff will look bad

Not forgetting that until a month or two before launch Nintendo will be constantly tweaking clocks, power and cooling. Developing a launch or launch window title for a console is a major pain in the arse. Almost makes me glad that I'm not working in the industry anymore. Too bloomin stressful!!!
So are we talking about a mixture of fixed functions and traditional programable shaders again..? Would certainly give developers 'free' use of lighting or AA for example.

not to take anything away from Condemned but it seemed like every room was practically empty compared to the rooms in ZombiU
You've stated that you've already decided not to buy a Wii U, so why are you shitting up all these Wii U threads?
Gotta meet that troll quota per day.

Co-op play should never be a part of any survival horror game. I'm not going to be buying Dead Space 3 purely because they've shoehorned co-op play. Co-op play automatically turns a survival horror game into an action game. The Resident Evil franchise has been crippled by it this gen. The whole point of any survival horror game is that it's you, isolated and alone, against seemingly insurmountable odds. With the exception of Silent Hill Shattered Memories this gen has been very poor for proper survival horror goodness.
The best thing about ZombiU is that it's more Resident Evil than Resident Evils 4, 5 and 6. We really don't need co-op play to turn it into yet another action game.
I'm still fuming about EA ruining Dead Space 3 tbh. You're not going to have anywhere near the same tense atmosphere and scares that the first two games had playing the game alongside another person.

Reading this I could almost feel the tension!
Everyone still calling the 2nd screen a "gimmick" should read this for further discussions.

Really neat impressions for Kotaku, this game is sounding like it should be pretty good. Obviously when you hear "Zombie shooter" you don't expect much innovations, but it sounds like this game is pretty fresh. I'll wait for more info, but it sounds like I might very well be picking this game up.

If you can feel the tension just by reading a few words and/or watching playthroughs then you know you have something unique
yeah the problem with this game is its another zombie game and no one knows this is an old Ubisoft IP
Screams next gen to me. Resident Evil needs to reboot on Wii U.
No, just... no.

Well, I'm ignorant to this...
Definitely. This has to be the showfloor surprise of E3. Watch_Dogs may have blown everyone away at the pressers, but I don't think anyone expected ZombiU to be so interesting until they got their hands on it.
Whats the story?
Zombi U got a lot of praise by Gameblog (French) as well
They say it marks the return of "real" survival horror games.

The original Zombi was alot like Dawn of the Dead 1978 version. A group of Survivors holding up in a Shopping Mall. Player controlled 4 survivors
Wow he did fall in love with the game! "genius", "best Wii U game", "starts saving money for it".
So Wii U has its killer app
From Ubisoft, which also gives Wii U a Rayman exclusive. Nintendo can be grateful.Wow he did fall in love with the game! "genius", "best Wii U game", "starts saving money for it".

Hi, trolls. Please try to rail on this game for reasons other than visuals (which look completely fine). People who have played it seem to find it quite engaging and fun, making great use the hardware. The Wii U will have alot in common with the Wii philosophically, just come to terms with that. It will not try to compete with the upcoming gen4 consoles graphically, but focus on offering something different.
Whether or not the masses find this new offering to be as appealing as the Wii is yet to be seen, but if this game is any indication, avid gamers are in store for some awesome stuff. Who cares if it's not pushing the forefront of visual fidelity?! That might even work to it's benefit, making it less expensive to develop for in the long run. Kudos to Ubisoft
Sincerely,
Many of us

thats actually really cool, thanks for sharing that! I never knew about this game and figured the Zombi spelling was just some bad marketing ploy like Petz and Imaginez.
Also
its not hard to imagine those 4 (with some changes) being Wesker, Jill, Barry and Chris, and that helicopter is also a bit familiar
new Dev Walkthrough from IGN.

Some fun tidbits. Like Online Friends can write hidden messages on walls and stuff that you can find using blacklight and stuff

NeoGaf is full of drama queens these days.
Yeah, looks like it'll be fun.
And it doesn't look as bad as some people are claiming.
Loving this more and more, unless something horrible happened to this then this is definitely a day one for me.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Some nice footage there, some very nice moody areas.
But it seems like the game will be more linear and have a story rather than be sandbox like it sounded at first.
And the extra survivors are basically Vita Chambers, except they make you work for it a little more, and reward you for not dying.
Still nice concepts all around though, and that's better than quicksave/load since it's more integrated than it was in Bioshock.

I think it's neat that they made it into a pseudo sequel to their very first game, I'd call that an honor.
Aside from this, does Ubisoft even have a survival horror of their own?

Graphics look perfectly serviceable to me too. Doesn't wow me by any stretch but then very few games do.
I know they've touched on friends seeing your zombie self online or something but has further online details been given or multiplayer in general? I feel this is important.
Also what is the goal of the game? I see that there are short, objective based missions but to what end?

If that is what's in the GPU and they bother using them to their benefit to begin with. Plus most middleware won't be designed to take advantage of something like that.
You know that doesn't make sense considering what you responded to.
