ZombiU Creators Weren’t Sure Their Game’s Hardest Mode Could Be Beaten. But Someone Just Did.

Kotaku: If you play ZombiU's special Survival mode you only get one life for the whole game. Death is death. No respawning as another character, which is what happens in ZombiU's already-tough (and very fun) normal mode.

The game relies on not suriving. And if you survive, you've kinda broken the game.

I was getting tired on dying, gettting a new survivor, then having to continue where I left off. (often without my supplies)

Since I wasn't dying very often, I've switched to Survival Mode where you only get 1-life. It suits my long-survival play style better.

If I continued on Normal I probably would have finished too soon. (which I've heard can be the case)
I'm usualy quite happy to take games very, very close - and hang on to the novelty of not knowing how much farther you have to go.

We need more games this hardcore.

Nawert4164d ago

I think it's very cool how Ubisoft is showing the names of the people who beat on Survival Mode in the game.

BattleTorn4164d ago

Yeah, that is pretty sweet.

I really hope the game gets patched to be more social.
I only seem to encoutner "other players' dead survivors" at the same (beginning) spots. And I think they could improve the "spray paint" messeges, I dont see that many. (beside good ones :))

konnerbllb4164d ago

I noticed that too. I don't have the game but it looks like their messages are on walls in the game world, is that true? Or is it on a menu or a loading screen?

It would be pretty neat if the dev was tagging walls in game with messages like this.

BattleTorn4164d ago

Yeah, the devs have tagged the walls.

I saw one saying "Return here soon"

There's also a in-game player-messeges, where other people have left spray paint emblems as warning or good-warnings.
I haven't seen that many really. And a crappy part, is I can't view the ones I've painted, and sometimes I was painting for my own directions

AlucardFury4164d ago

In-game recognition is cool and all, I personally would've preferred and achievement/trophy.

RFornillos44164d ago

yeah, coz you really need that "bragging rights" huh? jeez...

AlucardFury4164d ago

And having your name on a wall in the game ain't subject to bragging rights also? I stated an opinion without downplaying anything, learn how to respect a goddamn opinion.

The title says the criteria was explicitly written to mention Eternal Darkness. I am happy to see House of the Dead: OVERKILL on here. With the rise of Grindhouse themes in the 2010s, (ie WET), this was one that was both entertaining and camp funny.

-Foxtrot908d ago

Would be nice to see a new Zombie game set in the UK again, some of the landmarks, old architecture and the like really fits in well with the genre.

Sean of the dead and 28 days later.
