Default Prime Gets Down And Dirty With ZombiU

Default Prime writer Chris Stewart got some hands-on time with Ubisoft's upcoming ZombiU for the Wii U this week. Find out what he thought of the game and whether he's still excited about it after trying it out.

"I was lucky enough this week to get some time hands-on with ZombiU, the game that I was most excited about after the E3 dust settled. There was no messing about, I just got straight into the game. Having watched the person in front of me maim zombies with a cricket bat until he was mobbed and eaten, I opted for a less visceral approach. After stopping to revel in a videogame first (I had never beaten a member of the Queen’s Guard to death with a cricket bat before), I set off."

It's a damn shame that people don't seem to read these previews. They're actually pretty interesting.

MrChrisNo14373d ago

Well they're missing out if you ask me; there's some great stuff to be had in articles like this! I just think it's a shame I didn't get my hands on the game til so long after E3.

Having said that, I get the impression that the build I played was a lot more stable than the ones people who played at E3 wrote about. So maybe I got a better idea of what the finished product will be like.

(IMO) this game looks better then what RE6 will be, A TRUE SURVIVOR GAME

PopRocks3594373d ago

I think that's what they're trying to market it as; a zombie survival horror game that actually involves survival horror. Resident Evil certainly does not fit that description anymore and even Dead Space is now sacrificing those elements in favor of more coop/action elements.

Summons754372d ago

*Facepalm*

I don't know if you missed the memo but Capcom has already said that it ISN'T suppose to be a survivor horror. not to mention Resident Evil has NEVER been a survival horror game, but I suppose people with thick heads will never learn and we will have to hear this annoying complaining forever.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4372d ago

Good read and not your run of the mill Preview. Thanks for the expression and detail.
(there was only one other ZombiU preview as well written as this one and nobody read it but me).

But almost all have been positive preview. I will buy this game.

Star Wars Outlawa has some real potential. I loved the Fallen Order games but the abundant timed jumps at times took me out of the narrative as they could be come frustrating. The branching options and status with factions looks great.

-Foxtrot11d ago

Prince of Persia 2026…REALLY? And that’s all they had for us…a candle.

Jesus. Imagine if they didn’t give it to a shitty support studio and tried to sell us a sloppy remake years ago

Now we have (no hate on quality here) two PoP games no one asked for. We could have been anticipating a Warrior Within remake by now.

Elda11d ago

LOL!! They should have even announced it. They should have just waited a year from now to announce it with some gameplay. Lame.

Terry_B11d ago

Sorry for everyone who watched this ;)

Elda11d ago

No surprises just updates on existing games & games that have already been announced. A lame show.

-Foxtrot11d ago

The "could have been an email" type of show.

We can hope. Especially if the rumors of Cillian Murphy and Alaska are true.

RaidenBlack22d ago

That'd be too good if true.
But Henderson also leaked that next Far Cry setting was targeting some asian island.

jznrpg21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

With their shitty practices I really don’t care what Ubisoft announces until they reverse their course

Relientk7722d ago

Assassin's Creed Hexe is what I wanna hear about most. Yes I wanna play as a witch with magic during the 16 century witch trials in Germany (as per rumors). Sign me up

Huey_My_D_Long22d ago

Yeah, Hex sounds amazing to me as well, and I've been playing since AC 1. I'm real curious how are they gonna fit the magic into the game, maybe in similar way the dlc introduced gods and god abilities. but I love that I've heard its gonna have a horror vibe.

Garethvk22d ago

Hopefully it is full of good stuff.

Garethvk22d ago

I would love The Division 3.

RaidenBlack22d ago

The studio just completed Avatar and busy with Outlaws and also got their F2P Heartland cancelled ... IMO, Division 3 will surely come but it'll take more time.
I'd be most thrilled if Ubisoft greenlits a sequel or at least a remake of the studio's first game i.e World in Conflict

anast22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I would get hyped about Hexe. If the rumors are true, UBI might get a gold edition purchase out of me.

Demetrius22d ago

Hopefully gameplay of ac shadows or star wars outlaws, if they finally announce the new far cry I'm definitely getting that, far cry still fun af and gorgeous games, yeah ubisoft has their faults but atleast they're not copying souls like games their titles still have identity

neutralgamer199222d ago

We will definitely see gameplay for star wars and AC. Farcry let's see

OtterX22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I'm going to be an outlier amongst the rest of these comments.... give us something NEW! I'm pretty burnt out on Ubisoft franchises, unless you're giving us a new Rayman game!

*Edit - imagine what they could do with a Rayman 3D game in this day and age. I say now is the time to revisit the series.

RaidenBlack22d ago

Would love a AAA PoP too or a back to roots Ghost Recon (none of the open world stuff)

MeatyUrologist22d ago

Hell yes! Ghost recon in the style of the originals with real consequences, permanent and all!

jznrpg21d ago

I love Rayman, played it a ton with my kids years ago. But Ubisoft puts dumb crap in their games. MTs , paid tiers , always online requirement for single player games and as they stand now I could see them doing that to Rayman

OtterX21d ago

Yea unfortunately, you're right. :'(

Garethvk22d ago

Beyond Good and Evil 2: It is coming really; we promise.

OtterX22d ago

Their microtransaction monetization scheme on it will lie somewhere between good and evil!

Haha JK.... it'll be completely evil. 🙃
