Steady 60 FPS at 4K, but I have a 980 Ti so you'd expect as such I suppose.
UI is so ugly.

PC version has a shadow control in the option, which seems to be completely missing on Xbone and PS4 versions...
So two issues that jumped out at me straight away after playing some;
1) There is an annoying pause when looting bodies etc that wasn't there previously.
2) Using the shove is weird. Like, you have to push the trigger then let go straight away otherwise there is a pause before the action takes place. Pushing the trigger right down does nothing. It's incredibly annoying.

120fps without the dirty lens and wider FOV is worth $20 to me.

...but, but dirty lens is great for atmosphere.

Where is that? Don't see it in display.
Game is super blown out by default so make sure to adjust the brightness for your tv.
If you've got Nvidia then DSR completely negates this issue. The display still thinks it's at 1080. You could even run it at 3840x2160 @ 120hz with DSR.
Also, since this is a DX9 game it might also work with GeDoSaTo, meaning any resolution + 120hz could be possible.
You've got a pretty great situation actually.
Edit: oh wait that's a 4K TV? Yeah it isn't ideal then

I'll buy the PC version if someone mods the Killer Rabbids back into the game as enemies

Is there likely to be a Steam demo, I'm not familiar with how many games on Steam receive a demo.
Very unlikely.

Hmm, suppose I can get a refund if I'm not fussed.

Everything about these impressions makes me sad.
Ubisoft had a chance to introduce a hidden gem to a sea of new gamers. Instead they give us this. Boo.

There should be a way to display the UI in a second screen. :/
Dirty lens really fit this game too. The game loses much of its atmosphere without them.

How many cores does Zombi use on PC? My guess is that it's not optimized for the consoles number of cores and that's why it runs badly.

Sorry, how is crashing 6 times at a title screen almost no issues. That's horrible.

No dirty lens? Kind of sounds like Silent Hill without the fog.
It's not crashing at the title screen, it's that thing of where the Xbox One has the tile up and you select it and the "splash screen" (the one that the XBO displays when it's loading the real game, not in-game) comes up and then it goes back to the Dashboard. Stefon would call it "splashcrashing".
It happens on various apps sometimes, usually a hard reset fixes it. It's most likely not indicative of an issue (at least a normal one) with the actual program.
That's why it's almost no issues with Zombi itself.

Someone will likely figure out how to add it back in with ReShade, for those that want it.

well after 3 hours with the pc version i quite like it. the port is barebones but what is there is pretty good. runs at 1080/60 easily, 200+fps with vsync off with a 970. m+k work great and using a controller is as good as you expect. there is even an option to change all the button prompts to the dualshock icons so that's nice, not a lot of games let you do that. roaming around buckingham palace is pretty fun. definitely worth the asking price. my one issue is the amount of bloom and overall "greyness" to everything. it's not really a brightness issue either, it's just like there isn't a lot contrast going on. everything is overly washed out. maybe that's the aesthetic they were going for, i dunno.

Why is the PS4 version so far behind the PC?

Bought for my Xbox One since it appeared there first. I've only played a short bit yet but so far it looks OK. Nothing more, nothing less.

To be fair, it always has been. The way Sony handles the store and PSN is laughable at best.
The PC version seem to lack all the multiplayer stuff and some visual effects.

So, in the end, this was just a quick and dirty cash-in, cemented on the idea "A Nintendo exclusive on PS/Xbox! One step closer to Mario!".
Oh, Ubi, how low the big and mighty fall.

All ported versions are missing stuffs from original and lacks multiplayer.

It's ridiculous, if a game doesn't have midnight launch then I have to wait until like 5pm EST Tuesday for store update.
I'm limited to 60 Hz and I actually love the dirty lens
The wider FOV is nice, though. One of the reasons I hate consoles is the very limited FOV that FPSes usually have. But since you're constantly switching from the gamepad to the screen, I guess it doesn't bother that much on ZombiU.
I have to say, though, I'm extremely biased towards the Wii U + PC combo. If this was a port of a PS4 or Xbox One game, I'd gladly have it on PC. But since I already have it on Wii U... well, nothing lost, nothing gained for me here. Besides... my Wii U is, and will always be, intrinsically united to ZombiU

is your goal in this thread just to bash everything that isnt the Wii U version? All of your posts seem to have a common theme so far
This game is a perfect example of what's wrong with current gen or maybe just most gamers these days. This game has great setting, gameplay, and execution. People only focus on graphics (not all, having issues with it running are no Bueno). But if people won't play this because the graphics aren't impressive and nonsense like that, it's just sad. Such a fun game, play the nursery by yourself at night. Really really enjoyed this game on Wii U, will probably double dip to see it on PC
Disagree. Still like the Wii U version, though.

its so random, sometimes updates at 1pm, other times at 7pm EST
Looks like another Alien:I situation if the game indeed has constant drops from 60 in the Ps4.
I really am curious how the game is going to work and maintain the same charm. I hope it does, and I hope people enjoy it, but to me it's really sad that the WiiU has done so poorly and so one of my favorite gaming experiences of the generation has basically turned into a niche game on a niche system.
I do think that people who own a WiiU or are considering getting one play the game on that platform.
Do I have anything to compare that to? No. BUT! Standing up in a dark room with headphones in playing ZombiU with the gamepad and all of the tension and interactivity that that controller is responsible for is really one of the greatest survival horror experiences of my life.
I realize others may not feel this way.
Either way, check the game out. It's for sure a cool experience, and if it functions well in this new version, then it's definitely worth your time.

IKR? Makes me wonder who many people are downplaying the issues in regards to problems in games.
That's the real Zombi U experience, though!
(I played the Wii U game several patches in after it was made stable.)
