Ubisoft senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key has explained how Killer Freaks from Outer Space changed into the promising ZombiU. Key explained that Killer Freaks was more a technical showcase for Wii U, and as time went by the development team started to come up with bigger and better ideas.
“We look at Killer Freaks as more of a tech demo. They came up with this idea. It was an easy execution for them to use the Rabbids technology that they had built to create the Rabbids, the wire frames, to create these very quickly, these little goofy creatures. And they brought it to us as a tech demo for the Wii U saying ‘this is what we can do with the game.’ And we all thought ‘wow, that’s really cool. We should show that to Nintendo.'”
“And before you know it, it’s here at E3 as a way to demonstrate the new system,” Key continued. “And as time goes by, we start to see that there’s maybe bigger and better ideas around this actual game design, and these freaks slowly started turning into zombies because zombies are much more compelling than these stupid little rats we had running around, whatever they were.”
The team really decided that they wanted to take a more serious tone,” he said. “And it was going to be hard to do with the baddies that we had designed. It’s the same studio that made Rabbids, and their devs kept looking at it and going ‘these things need to be zombies. All I see is an ugly Rabbid when I look at this thing.’”
“We were having a blast with Killer Freaks. The more we got into developing specifically for the GamePad, the more we realized how absolutely ideal it is for survival horror. The fact that you have to keep your eyes on two screens at once, it’s incredibly scary,” she said. “It’s a perfect fit. You’re not going to fight it. When you’re trying to design for new technology and a new gaming experience, you want to go with what’s going to be best for that. We capitalized on everything we’d developed for Killer Freaks.”

I would actually have preferred Killer Freaks even though I’m looking forward to ZombiU.
In a near future :
-IGN News: ZombiU first DLC revealed… Killer Freaks From Outer Space Return and join the PARTY!
For me, ZombiU looks and sounds more convincing,… well except the name. Killer Freaks from Outer Space sounded like a gritty b-movie.
Killer Clowns from Outer Space (1988) was a great movie, which is what they based the name on probably
(A great B-Horror movie)
There. Noone can say first. Time to do some barrel rolling mutherfuckers!!!
I love you.
Cant let u do that Star Midos!
blah blah blah
I still think that Killer Freaks will be a cool addition in some near future =P Make it a DLC for ZombiU!
Great
I just cannot wait for this
Bring it on
I think they should release both, they are like day and night! But both fun, killer freaks was an horror fps with much humour and that was refreshing from the other games while zombie U is one of the other games but one of the bests and has improved gameplay.
I can’t blame my compatriots of Ubisoft montpellier to have been sick of the rabids stupidness but I think this could have potential
I like how you talk as if you’ve played these games.
Haha in game gameplay video are made for this!
How do you no i have? the fact that you dont know just shows that you dont know… :/
So to play this game on my wii do I have to buy the new controller and the game?
?
No but u have to take my dick outta your mouth sometime.
He didn’t say the magic word! Get that dick out of his mouth!
You would have to buy the new system. This is not playable on the Wii.
Only you will have too, since you’re too retarded to see otherwise.
gyes i am the real 1 peteriuss and ignore that troll
LOL i thought you had split personalities!
How does your brain actually work? I know you are laughing at all the people and saying “Deeeerp, maybe I should piss people off by acting like an even bigger retard, derp”.
I know, heres a question for you. Whats round and hangs from the roof support beam? Did you guessed a noose then you would be correct! Now use that and go hang yourself, you waste of oxygen
U mad fag?
who your calling fag U fucking bastard
U mad gay?
lMAO STOP, STOP I CANT HANDLE IT LOL. OH MY GOD LOL
Obvious trolls are not interested in being remembered as decent human beings…
I’m not a fan of Zombie games. Still, it’s interesting to see how this evolved from the tech demo.
and yet they’re considering porting it
Exactly.
I feel the ‘U’ at the end may make that… interesting for them.
to WHAT? the PS3 combo with Vita? that would means, hey you need a 300$ PS3 PLUS 250$ VITA PLUS 60$ for the Game… that sums… 610$, much like RIDGE RACEEEER.
or the Xbox 360 with Smartglass? that would need a windows 7(or was 8) tablet…. those exist?
In other words Zombies are more profitable? XD
don’t give a shit about its name. as long as it play well is what matters.
I’d rather have Killer Freaks to be honest but ZombiU still looks like a fun game and I can’t wait to get my hands on it and the Wii U =3

Why so serious?

“It doesn’t look like Crysis, therefore it sucks”.
Classic troll is being moronic.
