Im not upset at all. Im glad this is being done so others can enjoy this great game. Hopefully this helps towards a sequel with a real budget this time around. I just dont understand the mentality of skipping out on this game due to the gamepad. I can safely say this new version will be missing the charm the original had.
People skipped out on it because they didn't have a Wii U.
Also, I've played it on Wii U and there's nothing there you couldn't replicate on another system just fine.

Yep. Gonna replay this. Can't afford the time, but it's gotta happen. Too good to pass up.
The multiplayer.

Thanks for the Stream heads-up, just tuned in now.
Feels weird watching the game with a HUD, wonder how that'll affect pacing. Revisited the game last week and I had to make sure I found a safe place just to check the map.
Edit: Can definitely feel the increased field of view. Especially when you finish off an enemy.

I'm on the side that thinks something will definitely be lost without the Gamepad. Mostly because of little moments like seeing a mob slowly approaching while trying to get a flare or grenade equipped and keeping an eye on both screens, etc. It's all a matter of preference I suppose, but I think the Gamepad stuff definitely added to the gameplay and overall experience.
Ultimately I'd take a sequel on any system so I hope this does well.

Yeah, I think the execution is fine, but it's certainly a faster-paced game due to how your attention isn't divided between two very distinct places at once -- instead you're always staring at the location you're meant to be staring at.
I'm looking forward to playing this port, though it's a shame it does look pretty bare bones.

Yeah, what's with games like this that ARE good but they can't shake negativity surrounding them? Actually, it's probably the "games" media doing this.
Ah, you're right, forgot about that, but personally I don't care about the MP anyway.

Perhaps I'm blind but I can't seem to find any digital or retail listings for the game. I've checked the Xbox and PSN stores, Amazon, Best Buy and Gamestop without any results. Even the Ubisoft website for the store doesn't list any place to buy it. Is this a super stealth release?

Definitely getting the PC version. That Chromatic Aberration needs to go!

Wait it releases tomorrow? Something doesn't seem right. It's not up in steam, PS4, or Xbone stores. You'd think there would be even an info page. I'm gonna wait and see. Something is telling me there is something wrong with this port. They're literally just shoving it out there.
The minimap looks awful. A game-breaking kind of awful.
You aren't supposed to see the map at all times and especially not when you're fighting or running away. Alien: Isolation did a really good job emulating the way it felt to use ZombiU's second screen radar (press a button to show motion tracker, checking it blurs the screen). This is just no good.

I just think it's them thinking it just won't sell too well so they don't want to advertise it. I think the port will be fine going by the streams, it's just Ubi being weird
They still haven't even announced the damn price, right? And the game comes out tomorrow?
I've got a sinking feeling it's going to be $29.99 or higher, in which case I'm out. I have the Wii U version already but wanted this one for the brighter flashlight and easy streaming. I won't bother if it's not $19.99.

The hud is horrible.

Wow the HUD looks stupid. I wish I'm not exaggerating.
Really? It's not even in the Steam Store with no price. This might end up bombing harder than the Wii U version. Why port it?

First time i watch this sort of thing of people playing live....
i hope its the last
Aside from that, graphics seem exactly like the WiiU version
The hud on the screen is bad. I mean, is obviously worst than the hud in the gamepad. But not something that cripples the game
Also, the game seems easier. Seems like "critical hits" lands more often now.
Zombies are letting the guy easy. He has less than half life bar, and yet the zombies are not in for the kill, still attacking with swipes. Im almost sure in the wiiu version, red life bar means zombies will go for the bite at first sight

Ubisoft Australia said the price is around 29.95 AUD which converts to $22. So I am guessing the game is $20 in the U.S. (with a maximum being $24.99).

I'm not even seeing this game mentioned anywhere on Steam. Even people are oblivious to this game's release.

If this really does hit stores tomorrow looking this half arsed and with no advertising whatsoever, then Ubisoft must just be sending it out to die.
Real shame, if any game deserved a bigger, better sequel, it's this. So much squandered potential.

Yeah, it's weird. Why waste money, time, resources and what not if you're not going to advertise your product like at all? Especially when it didn't do so hot the first time.
Based on?

well good for them. game was good. sadly i gave it up because I got my wii u late and got stuck in a 'oh shit I died and now have a cricket bat in a hard bit' section. but the game was good. I'll replay it if splatoon ever gets old.

You can find your previous survivor (in the same general area) and kill it and get your stuff back.

yeah I know, but it happened at an 'alert' point with like 10 zombies. it was almost impossible to get the stuff and not die a whole bunch, ended up spreading my goods around about 5 different versions of me and then giving up.

Great post, agreed, it shouldn't let you see both at once. That basically moves it to how the second screen works on a 3DS/DS, which isn't disorientating or attention-shifting.
Aw man. I know they're having fun and I'm the one with the problem, but watching the girls play and suck terribly is killing me!

Wii U version was 5.7GB so I imagine this version will be a little bigger than that. Doubt it'll be that big a difference though.

I loved it on Wii U ! Hope a lot of survival horror fans with no Wii U picks it up on their console of choice. Considering double dipping on pc version if decent.
