I thought Zombie u graphics were sweet!

I think there is nothing in ZombiU that couldn't be done on PS360 graphics wise and I think critics of the nintendo hating sort will emphasize this into oblivion. I have no problem with the graphics personally but it isn't spectacular or anything.

Ubisoft stated they never were trying trying to push the game graphically, they were focusing on the unique gameplay aspects and trying to get it doen on time for the launch.   To say nothing fo the fact it went though a huge transformation from Killer Freaks to ZombiU not that long ago.  But we know most reviewers/critics/fanboys will ignore all that.

all well and good points but as a showcase peice for the wii U's "core" focus you also need to understand that graphical quality will always be critically reviewed...  it's what we in the "core" do.

So to be "core", I have to ignore context?

Damn....I haven't been a "core" game reviewer for the past 7 years.

 

Actually, I'm expecting it's graphics scores to be lower than other categories but in the review itself, it would be nice if more than just a small handful of us actually took a moment to elaborate on certain things.   And that really goes beyond ZombiU but for all games.  I like reviews (liek those I write) that really get you to understand the game rather than the usual, "I'm jaded/I'm a fan...so I'll hate on/gloss over...this game without really telling you anything."
