“ZombiU at its core was designed to be a great Wii U game and in order to make that work on other platforms they would have to change a lot of what makes the game cool and I’m not saying that can’t be done, but not in the next six months, you know?” - Ubisoft's senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key
I'm going to have some impressions from ZombiU later today. Trust me, there are good things to hear!

Yeah, this sounds kind of pointless. Sometimes ports shouldn't happen, when the game focuses so much on the WiiU GamePad it's probably a bad idea unless they're go for Xbox Smartglass or something. Doubt it'll happen.
I'm hoping that's why it looks so current gen.
They said the same about Red Steel IIRC.
Yah.. they would have to change a lot. I don't think Xbox Smartglass uses motion tracking, although some phones would be capable of tracking motion I guess. Basically, it would be like porting Red Steel 2 to another console. Just don't get how it would work at all. But, we know this game looks good when people are asking if they'll bring it to other consoles
PS. U is in the name for a reason guys! haha. The title wouldn't make any sense on any other consoles.
Did you see the same game I did? The lighting is gorgeous:

Now, I don't believe you can put graphics in "generations" so to say, after all, it's only PS2/Xbox/Gamecube that were REALLY close in terms of the visual hardware, look at the PSX/Saturn/64 era, they were pretty different from eachother and that's why only few games went multiplatform. But even if we do, I think that what Ubisoft have focused on here is without doubt the lighting, probably since they aim at a horror game in the vein of Doom 3 when it comes to exploring dark buildings and such...
Then again, what do I know, maybe these screens are the exception to the rule.
christ almighty! let the wii-u have a friggin great exclusive title. it was one of their few shining moments.. lets not effing port it to consoles that have enough shooter/zombie games..
oh, and the name "ZombiU" would make NO sense, what-so-ever, on the other systems..
@kernal
Was going to mention that.
ZOMBIU. Not sure how they'd explain that on 360 or PS3.
Actually agree there. But they could rename it to Zombie360withsmartphones! LOL
UGH.. I ALREADY mentioned that! I beat both of you to it. AHAHAHA
It started as a 360 game, so that could be why.
Ugh, it's things like this that makes me hate how Nintendo systems gets so much crap for lacking strong third party games sometimes. And when they do start to get them? People will ask and wonder why a game isn't on another console, or someone hints at moving said third party game to different systems.
If you are going to truly sell the game as an exclusive then do so.
Not trying to be an ass but you do know those aren't actual gameplay screens right? The game running realtime doesn't look as good as those rendered shots. Still, I'm interested in the game, sounds like they've got some really cool ideas.
so ubisoft who declared this game as a wii U exclusive and will only be on the wii U come out and say actually, zombiU will be for PS3, Xbox later on.
ok ubisoft, what a way of keeping your promise of making it a wii U exclusive, only to do this. excluding rayman, i have never been a huge fan of theirs anyway.
Sweet. Glad I have a 360 then. No need to buy a WiiU if Ubisoft's not going exclusive with this game.
So the Wii U's only new third-party exclusive besides Rayman isn't actually an exclusive? Well then...
"I was planning on getting a WiiU for this game... Oh is comming to my PS3? no need then"
Way to completely undercut you own game sales and fuck over the Nintendo audience once again.
Why is it almost impossible to have a Nintendo exclusive 3rd party game actually STAY exclusive?
I don't really care if this goes multiplatform... as long as you bring Watch Dogs over to Wii U. I think that'll about make us even, Ubi.
@NeroSuferoth@t27duck
It hasn't been decided yet.
It'll stay exclusive until they ever confirm 360/ps3 versions, if they ever do that.
Sounds really stupid, then it wouldnt even be Zombi U
Not buying it then... But i'll trust Ubisoft to not be THAT stupid. I mean "ZombiU" on 360 and PS3... the name kinda loses it's purpose. Not to mention it seems to use the GamePad functions a lot..
That's not even what it says. It says that Ubisoft probably couldn't make the changes necessary to bring Zombi U to other platforms within the next six months. You know, pre-launch. It does NOT say 'exclusive for 6 months post release, then we jump ship.'
ZombiGlass and ZombiMove confirmed (?)
