ZombiU Demo at E3 2012

ZombiU Demo at PAX 2012

- *NEW* I thought there won't be a crosshair on your screen based on my demo at E3, but on the PAX demo, there's a crosshair that appears while aiming. If this is optional and if you want a challenge, disable the crosshair and literally use the iron sight on your gun. Now, that's a challenge!

 

- *NEW* When your friends' character(s) die in their game, they will appear in your game as zombies (I assume their respawn depends what location they died) and you can kill them and grab their loot. Me like!

 

- *NEW* Virus Side Shot - Injection that gives you a second chance to avoid *One bite and that it, you're DEAD!*. You can find "plenty" of them in the game. 

 

- One bite and you're DEAD! Literally! Will respawn as a brand new character. Previous character will turn into zombie; can be killed and return your loot (so to speak).

 

- Inside Buckingham, you're looking for the "Royal Doctor"

 

- He is researching a cure to the Zombie virus.

 

- This location is after 7-8 missions.

 

- Messages left by other players will include content from both friends and players in general.

 

- The community can rate the message to let players know if it's worthwhile or not.

 

- Total staff includes 90 in Montpellier, plus a team of 30 in Romania doing the multiplayer maps.

 

- When some key codes are scanned, they are added to the mini-map so you don't have to remember.

 

- You can press the Take-All button to literally take all items in your back pack instead of dragging them one by one. 

 

- Three slots on the GamePad are for quick item access.

 

- Use these slots for your most-used backpack items.

 

- Zombies are attracted to sound and light.

 

- One of the NPCs, the "prepper" who was the guiding voice in the E3 demo, has a wife "Sondra", from whom he is separated.

 

- Prepper's approach is to barricade survivors within the safehouse, whereas his wife belongs to an organization that looks to have survivors flee the city.

 

- 2/3 NPCs which will influence how the game scenario evolves.

 

- Crossbow is more efficient for outside levels and long distance shots.

 

- When you die, the character you take on next is randomly generated.

 

- There will be 4 or 5 types of special zombies.

 

- On-screen messaging system lets you know what your friends or your friend's zombie are doing.

 

- You can also learn what your zombi (former player) is doing to others.

 

- There will be some form of leaderboards to keep track of these interactions.

this is awesome :D keep this info coming! Nothing new here really, but the more I hear of this game the more I want it :D



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I bet that woman in the background regretted taking that job so badly


Anyway, nice to see this stuff in action. Using the controller as a scope should be even more accurate than the mouse!

 

(and far more realistic...) :P



haha, you know that woman is just thinking "how boring".

Haha I would take her job anytime. Always wanted to work for Nintendo at least as a demo rep. But it's not unusuall. There's plenty of girls just standing there pms-ing like her. The aming is still laggy thou. Hope they fix it for the final version.

lol @ What is Scientology? ad

great vid by the way, cant wait to buy the WIiU and this



Couldn't find an official Zombi U thread and didn't think it was deserving of making a new one just for this, but here's a new video of it:



It does look REALLY good, certainly the game I'll be getting at the WiiU launch (if I get one, of course...)



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I gotta be the only Nintendo loyal around here who couldn't careless about this game.
