Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
He meant the real video:
Dunno if there are more from other sites.
Edit: beat.
And of course I doubt any of us is thinking of buying this thing at launch, especially not after the 3DS. They have to actually release games people really want first, and multiple of them, like they've been doing for 3DS past its early troubles.

My favorite Wii U game so far.
Beats Pikmin, Lego and Dragon Quest.

This game being decent + a good post-launch line-up would justify it for me, but only at a 250 price tag, which is not unreasonable using Amazon UK if it ends up being 300 in the rest of Europe.

It's very close. I will wait for reviews before a final decision. But I'm not happy with Nintendo right now.
Nice. Here's hoping we get some footage of people playing it soon.
It's certainly not just "another zombie game", look at the efforts for Wii U features implementation, the atmosphere, the trailer, the mood. This title will be surprising, especially for its fun, and all the gameplay applications thanks to the system specificities.

I'd keep my expectations tempered if I were you guys. Remember Red Steel?

Please be good.
This and the Pacman Vs.-type game in NintendoLand look like the best uses of the tablet so far.

Was ready to bash this game, then i saw the gametrailers gameplay, and what they said about killing your former self to get back your items and starting over again if you get bit is interesting, a game with an old school game over for your character and still not being a general game over is refreshing, this game has potential as long as ubisoft doesn't red steel it.
And i want info on the multiplayer, i hope they keep the 5 player stuff from when it was killer freaks.

I´m such a n00b i dunno how to put stuff on these kinds of forums....sorry about that.
Yep, and then I remember Red Steel 2, which was pretty sweet.
To be fair, Deus Ex was kind of bland and stiff even maxed out on PC.
I also think ZombiU (any chance of a title change? It'll be hard selling a "serious" game with such a name) looks good enough, but some of the animations were atrocious.
Well they basically made zero effort... Nintendo.
Doesn't look very good but the principle of perpetual world and "no game over, no end" is quite cool.
Which came out how many years after the Wii launch?
I think that was from multiplayer. Not sure though.
Fucking lighting looks damn good.
And this has been in development for over two years. My point is it would be silly to make an argument one way or another based on Red Steel. Almost superstition level silly.

Years and years after the complete and utter disaster of Red Steel 1.
Besides, no need to deflect it with a marginally better sequel that sold terribly. I'm mostly pointing out the fact that Red Steel was made Ubisoft, much like ZombiU, and much like ZombiU, it was a new-ish IP at launch, on the new Nintendo console, with people clinging to it as one of the launch killer apps. The similarities are uncanny, I'm saying keep expectations in check because we all know what happened last time this exact scenario happened.
Think so. You could a overall map on the controller. Which lets the person place down zombies like shown in the Killer Freaks demo.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
And so is Pacman. This does look like a proper survival horror, though, in the best of traditions of the genre.

Yeah, IQ is clean, lighting looks good as do some of the environmental effects. Character models look good in the body but some of them need work in the facial area. Animation is a little stiff in parts.
I'm cautiously optimistic on this one, as long as it doesn't get Red Steel'd we might well be in for a treat.
Looking forward to seeing/hearing more about this title.
You already played it?
It's safe to assume that's the MP because of the respawn timer and the different HUD. (Look at the top and you'll see a humans/zombies flag counter.)
Looks good. This, Rayman Legends, and Project P-100 have me interested in the WiiU.
The way the game is designed to take advantage of the GamePad is really attractive.
I just did, and it has the potential to be pretty good. Especially for a launch game. It feels really good, and the game concept is really bad ass. If your character gets bitten, you're done. I really enjoyed it.
did the controller battery die in your hand?

I find the permadeath mechanic to be the most interesting aspect by far. I really hope this turns out well for that reason alone.
.......
My interest was piqued when in the demo on GT the game asked you to look down at the controller. Sounds like some facial recognition to know where you're looking and then react accordingly. It was during a scene where the protagonist looks in their bag so the screen could show the inside of the bag. Of course, the game could then scare you with zombies while you're not looking.
And when you're looking up, here a scuttling, look down at the controller to see things around your feet.
Out of the entire conference, this is the game that interested me the most. Which is sort of sad in a way.

If you get bit, the tablet battery is immediately drained and you need to wait 2.5 hours to restart. Now THAT would be hardcore.

Did anyone see that ad for an Inflatable Race Car for Wii in the background? LOL
Anybody post this yet?

I think this looks really interesting, something I am probably going to buy immediately once available.
And here's IGN's impressions: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/05/e3-2012-zombiu-is-real-survival-horror
I am definitely not one to get excited for a Zombie game, but the concept behind this intrigues me. Perma-death, then control a different character (with presumably unique talents?) each time you die.
Still a lot I need to understand about it, but as an adamant Zombie-game skeptic, it's piqued my interest.
Thanks for the link, sounding better and better
Whoa!

Honestly, most of what's intrigued me about this game could be on any system, but the real time inventory management looked good.

Is it weird that I like this idea.
