Forums - Nintendo Discussion - IGN..Zombi U/Zombi WTF

So on reading an IGN review of Zombi, it scores 7.5. Good score, however the same site gave the Wii U version a 6.3. Let's get this straight, for Zombi to score higher you strip the gamepad features, remove the gamepad-centric multiplayer and make the graphics barely any better. Also remove the cool dirty lens feature and have the framerate drop to the mid 20fps mark on Buckingham palace, but its cool because its on playstation and Xbox...im lost for words.

Are they the same reviewer?, it has happened before.



If it's a different reviewer it's kinda hard to really make that point.



Different reviewer. Which pretty weird because the recent reviewer should also check the previous review. It is just like comparing the same game on different consoles, the only difference is the year they are released. It is a strip down version of ZombiU.

I hope there would be a ZombiU 2 but exclusive to NX.



It is a different reviewer granted, but its kinda crap that Zombi could get a higher metacritic score than Zombi U despite clearly being the inferior version.

Most games on PS/XBOX tend to get overinflated scores. I mean, just check the games that got over 90%+.

Look at Arkham City on the Wii U, it got 11 points less on average. Then look at games like Journey, TLOU: R, Fez, Bastion, Flower, Shovel Knight (PS4), etc.

Titanfall, with no singleplayer campaign and not a lot of content got 86%. Halo: MCC, who's online still doesn't work correctly, is sitting at 85%.

He might not work there anymore.

They don't have the same amount of reviews, and the reviews say they took off points cause of framerate issues and glitches, another mentions some gimmicks that do more harm than good, "You can use the right stick to aim, but the gyroscope still registers and can throw the reticule off slightly."

All those PS4 ports are superior to the PS3 versions in every way, Batman Arkham City obviously doesn't fit that criteria.

Lol, my PC from 1960 can run Fez, Bastion, Shovel Knight and Flower (hyperbole). What's so superior about those ports? Shovel Knight is the exact same game.

I never said Arkham City on Wii U was scored unfairly btw. Not at all the point I was making.

The changes in most of these "remasters"/ports are so few that they don't deserve so much praise.

Could be, but can the current reviewer check the video about ZombieU or even the article that was done for the ZombiU? Think about this - FF X remaster for PS4 has the same rating from PS3 one. So how could a downgrade (less features) have a higher rating than the previous one.
