I think I missed the first backpack upgrade and likely the shovel, too. I did find the nailed bat, though.

where was the nailed bat? Only other melee weapon I found was the shovel

Yikes. The first backpack upgrade seems pretty obvious.
It's in Buckingham palace in the side room with the big red button
It depends on how much you care about a higher resolution and framerate.
Personally, I really enjoyed the multiplayer and social features in the Wii U version, so I still prefer that version overall.

My memory is shit, but I play so many games it's tough to remember these things. I'm bad with movie quotes/sometimes events in movies, too.
I'm not sure if I still have a book to find in that area, so maybe I didn't miss it. I read it's part of that quest.
Has this been posted yet?
DF did a frame rate video for the PS4, XB1 and Wii U version

I'll just be uploading a save to the cloud and using that if I die. Should make Survivor mode doable.
That's cheating!
Nice. No reason it couldn't have been 60 on PS4/XB1, though.

anyone know if there is a way to do this on xbox? Almost wish i got it on ps4 now because of how easy that is.
Resolved the crash issue. I just now beat it. It's pretty good, not a masterpiece, but as a zombie game it's pretty interesting. I could see why it got low review scores because dying and losing all of that gear and taking on a forced side quest can definitely annoy someone. I think the melee system needed a Stamina gauge to make it less tedious. Because otherwise taking on two zombies at once (after kiting them in a door way) wasn't so hard. And I liked the fact that they stuck to just zombies being the enemy (aside from that Electrical zombie).
I'll spoiler this but I want to ask two questions:
The fetch-quest shit was getting a little annoying towards the end and there's at least two sections where you're following the map for a bit, and then it tells you go to the Palace Underground, whereas I could've just taken a shortcut and got there in two seconds. Though, this could have been intentional misdirection.
Also the guide was really annoying with his apocalyptic ramblings.
I'll spoiler this but I want to ask two questions:
When you go to that towar aided by the sniper chick. If you succeed and get to the top with the helicopter, what happens next? I literally died once the entire game (on normal difficulty) and I died at that one part in the tower where you have to drop down and I took fall damage. Right after my character died my second character was put on a fetch quest to get fuel for the generator. I liked how there was a call back to that with my second character but I wonder if the game would have ended had I made it without dying.
What was up with the ending with your guide? We see that he was very well prepared for the Armageddon. He goes through your shit and it's implied that he's either a veteran or he amputated his foot to survive a bite. But then he greets another guy. What does that imply? Again, I wonder if the ending would have changed had I not died at all.

For sure, plus I only watched a small portion of the game... Stupid comment on my part.
I'm not in a position to say one is better than the other, opinion = void

found a way to replicate the cloud save exploit on ps4 for xbox one...for people that want to play survival lite lol.
Make a save while online. Go offline after you save. This will keep your local save there, while the save you made also goes to the cloud automatically. If you die, close the game, and then delete your local save file. Go back online, enter the game, and it will automatically download your last file saved to the cloud. It is much easier to do on ps4, but this is essentially the same thing as ps4, except not manual

but are there any multiplayer or social features still active in the WiiU version? I'd expect that to be pretty empty by now
Multiplayer was local-only.
Like all Wii U games, Zombi U has an active Online community. There are dead people to loot all over the place.
Any news on this?

I was surprised to see this game is £14.99, awesome from the dev/publisher. Can't believe the prices on so re-releases on XBL (Prototype is £19.99!)

Wait, did they remove the ability to loot other backpacks?'

I'm loving this game on PC. I really dont get complaints about the graphics at all (given its cheap and its a Wii U port), to me this is better gameplay wise than the RE revelation games recently (and the resident evil 6 game of course, but thats not a surprise)
Controls wise, as I expected, it plays fine without the gamepad.

this game doesnt have some kind of quick save right? ie just something to save to resume later (eg it could erase the quick save on load to keep the suspense up)
I have to save at a safehouse right or lost my progress?
This isnt to reload failed missions, its just because my time is so limited recently I may only have 10-15 mins to play the game at a time (and want turn off PC afterwards)

Downloaded this earlier and just had a brief muck about for 30mins or so and yeah can defiantly see the charm. Loading screens between areas are a bit of a bugger but they load pretty quick and can't really complain too much as it is essentially an upresed WiiU game. Although some textures have quite a bit more detail revealed thanks to a better resolution some are a bit crap, there's a bit of bad colour banding in the darker areas and my word the compression in the prerendered videos is eye gouging. But purely from a gameplay stand point I'm really digging it in my short time so will probably crack on much, much later tonight when it's dark, blinds drawn and headphones on so the atmosphere becomes cack your pants time.
Watch out for them bastards carrying around the gas tanks on their backs, one slap of the cricket bat and your blown to bits, even if you hit them from the front. They need to be taken out from a distance with a gun.. I've walked up on afew of them now in low lit to pitch darkness and never saw the gas tank, lost all my gear, all of it!.... Listen for the hiss.

Thanks for the tip.
I looked up this stuff hoping to find more information..
ZombiU was amazing, I wanted to see if they added more to the actual story or single player. Instead they just add a few new weapons and remove multiplayer??
I have gotten quite close to a complete survival run, I almost always die mid game from something really stupid like fall damage or my own mines or grenades.
I did like how the game progresses from 'shoot all the zombies' to 'run past them and try to keep them safely zoned'. It made it feel like a real survival horror.
Maybe when there's more information I'll look it up. It's probably the best survival horror I've played in years.
The game has a smuged, wet camera lens effect on it at all times which is supposed to be there. It adds atmosphere and prevents things from being seen 'clearly' which makes for some amazing gameplay when you have to plot a safe path across a murky room.
I know some people throw a hissy fit because they always want the best image quality well TOO BAD SO SAD GIT GUD.

Why is the DF video private?
I did it on normal mode. I did a survivor mode training run in normal mode and didn't die once. It's all about knowing where to go in the map and where the loot is. The mines are essential after the first wave.
Saw this on steam and I was curious about how well the ports reviewed. So far they are all tracking worse than the WiiU version. Polish costs money but I'm guessing removal of the tablet removed some of the more appealing tension that simply can't be found in conventional controls.

I guess knowing where to go would help, but in my first wii u playthrough 100% blind I must have died over 5 times, singlehandedly killed my desire to try Survivor. It seemed designed with respawning in mind where none of the rest of the game is.

About the UI toggle, care to do a quick explanation about it?
Guess that other guy was right. Maybe you just couldn't notice. Nice way to be a jerk on the internet though.

As many have said, the benefits of the Gamepad are likely overstated, but in my opinion, only by a little bit.
The entire game was designed to be a certain way. It was supposed to feel like real survival. The Gamepad was just one part of the formula. There are also the gritty filters so there's never 100% clarity. There's a low FOV in the Wii U version that is not the default option in the newer versions. And those seem to be just some of the differences.
I really think the philosophy of the game was to make you feel as isolated as you would during a real zombie apocalypse. Unlike the "New Resident Evil" version of Survival-Horror, ZombiU seemed to really put the emphasis on the SURVIVAL aspects, up to the point of intentionally limiting the player in certain ways. Purposeful game philosophy-oriented design like that was what made ZombiU unique.
Now they're just removing features and making the experience easier. I don't know. It's nice that more people will be able to experience the base game but otherwise it just seems like a cash grab, and obviously I'm not the only one who has said that.
So about the lens dirt shader, it does actually appear to be still pressent just really subtle and looks to be a much lower quality texture used (ignore the half and half set up of this image, just messing with GeDoSaTo to see if I can clear up the banding)
The effect appears stronger if you turn your flashlight off but if you look to the up left section of that screen you can see the effect is in play although somewhat diminished but still reacts to lights/flares as you move the camera.

Hmm... I wonder if there's some way to crank the intensity or just flat out replace the texture with the wiiu onE

i was killed by an npc that is supposed to protect u...im not starting all the way over again due to shit like that
But that is what makes this game so tense!
Not really. There are a couple of config files in the install folder but they're really not to be messed with. Reshade does have a dirty lens effect in there somewhere but it would be applied to pretty much everything (UI, cutscenes, probably the backpack menu) so your mileage may vary with using that.
