Digital Foundry Tackle ZombiU Port

Respected technology publication Digital Foundry have gone hands on with the revamped version of ZombiU for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Those of you who thought a lot would be lost without the addition of a second screen were apparently worrying over nothing as the site says that surprisingly little is lost by moving away from Wii U’s touchscreen. As you would expect things such as lighting and textures have been cleaned up for the current batch of consoles. Digital Foundry sums up its report by stating that Zombi may have dropped the U affix, but the essentials make it to new platforms without losing the central hook.

          1. Considering WiiU version was done 3 yearsago with old devkits at the time and from a dev who planned to not support wiiu no mstter how Zombiu sold ??? plus lots and i mean lots of graphic effects are missing on ps4 like creases on clothes and the atmosphere of the lighting gone it’s brighter not better.

    1. Lololol!! I was going to write this. People are gonna be mad because the Wii U version sucks dick compared to the PS4 and xbox one. Lol!

    Great
    Now a game that is irrelevant on the Wii U can be irrelevant on other platforms.
    Seriously, who said “I really want ZombiU on other consoles”?
    Ubisoft, instead of doing that, how about focus on making your future games more unique and appealing

      1. Nintendo is My Blood Reborn

        Which says how much Ubisoft thinks of PS4 an Xbone gamers.
        Eating the crap from the “dying” Wii U.
        Beautiful industry indeed

        1. It say how much Ubisoft thinks of you diper wearing Nintendo fanboys. They gave you a shit game cause the consolebus shit. You think we asked for this crap?! Lmfaoooo truly comical!

                1. These bipedal primates need to be eradicated before they cause any real damage, thus ruining the future for those who actually care.

                      Haha indeed, if I should start talking like this then very well. However I have the urge to outburst for some strange reason…perhaps it has something to do with my past? I don’t remember, but what I do know is that I have been summoned for a reason. Look at these filthy creatures destroy what I once had ruled… disgusting. Whatever new rituals they have been practicing will not be tolerated by me.

                              Not going to lie, but that’s officially my favorite comment from you. So true yet so hostile.

                                1. Nintendo Lieutenant Cereza

                                  Most of the denizens within out empire have abandoned their human form in favor of a more powerful form. I look forward to the age you speak of Tetrarch.

                      1. Are you one here… just to be mean to people? Don’t you have something you’d rather be doing? Like maybe anything? At all?

                      2. You know there isn’t a console war going on. You can just let people enjoy whatever they want man. People instinctively want to take sides. Be above that and show some intelligence.

                        1. Console wars? I’m not apart of that. You can play what ever you want I don’t care, but keep in mind why Nintendo is the way they are. Simple.

                          1. So, you are not apart? You are within console wars? You must live in hell, old chap.

                            Yet, I hoped less words and more action. Battle on, my fella’!!

                2. I see bashing the company but didn’t mind sucking them off when they brought the game to the Wii U in the first place

                3. I agree. Ubisoft is trying to prove a point that this game bombed because of the Wii U. I think it’ll bomb on the other platforms as well. Think about it, no one cares about this game. It’s been 3 years, so…

                1. Nintendo is My Blood Reborn

                  Not even mad about losing this as a um, “exclusive”
                  that game was mediocre, nothing too special but decent.
                  But did it call for a port 3 years later? Absolutely not, it’s one of those things where people will say.

                  Um okay?

                  1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

                    >>>I don’t care about the game really, they still insulted the Wii U by saying “nothing was lost”, the core experience is lost>>>

                  2. Nintendo Lieutenant Cereza

                    I’m sure the enemy will simply clamor over receiving the highly acclaimed, academy award winning Zonbi.

                  3. WiiU version was done on devkit number 3 out of 5 less then half the power basically and to be fair the wiiu version is on 2 screens at once and has more graphical effects in place then ps4,basically stripped ps4 of atmosphere and textures might be cleaned up here and there but nothing wiiu couldnt do if they spent more time with it and creases in clothes DIGITAL F is textures you know how come ps4 has no creases in clothes ????

              2. Agree…seeing gameplay with the inventory taking up most the screen….only able to see around the edges and not able to rearrange said inventory? That’s loosing quite a bit I think….lighting is better but I actually like the look of the WiiUs lighting…more athmosperic, hides some cosmetic stuff too…I also liked the lense filter.

              3. You guys are not seeing the big picture here. Ubisoft wanted it was just left a president, regardless of how good or bad it could be, but with this port Ubisoft now have the possibility to actually make a Zombi U sequel that will not be tie to the Wii U.

                  1. Yep, one that works 5 days a week, is on payment away from paying his car, and helps people in need.

                    Best fucking stoner you’d ever meet bro. What have you gave away recently for the goodmof someone other than you?

                    1. If you mean give people money in the street. Hell no. I do help people in need all the time but when it comes to money don’t fucking ask me.

                      1. Helping a person doesn’t mean handing them money. If you can honestly say you help anyone on any level than youre alright in my book. We got no beef, idc what video game systems you play.

                        1. OK giid?, cause I was really about to go off and wright a damn essay. Thank you for saving me time. I’ll try to not have need with you…no guarantee.

                        2. Excuse my stupid phone.

                          OK good, cause I was really about to go off and write a damn essay. Thank you for saving me time. I’ll try to not have beef with you…no guarantee.

                    2. Actually no stoners against gays are actually pretty shitty. And bragging about helping people makes you shittier. And most stoners work 5 days dumb ass. Most stoners are the best workers idiot.

                1. WiiU has sold over 700k copies of this game i cant believe they are not making a sequel on wiiu ?? i mean on UK AMAZON its at no7 in wiiu best sellers ??

              4. Textures are better, the lighting is worse. Its brighter, it missing details such as dirt on the lens, and the boom light looks like vaseline making textures look weirdly smooth under certain conditions.

                It makes the whole game look worse as a whole.

                1. If it does well is because the game releasd for cheap, $20, I know its not an impulse buy but its still a 3rd cheaper than when Zombi U released. I’m fairly certain it’ll do good at least on the PS4.

                  1. Is not about price, but most claimed the game was entirly bad as it is, from the gamepad mechanic to the “cluncky” and unfair gameplay, and it was worthless because of it. The thing is, the game is a great survival horror, and also is really hard at times (a hardcore game, for those with patience and skill).

                    Still is true that most would take it because is dirty cheap, but also is it on Wii U nowadays, yet I assure you most of those who bashed it and aslo told the game wasn’t big of a deal will play it, and probably loose their temper.

              5. I don’t give a fuck what Digital Foundry is talking about, this game is a cheap experience on the PS4 and Xbox One. The definitive version will always be on the Wii U because of the gamepad, it adds so much to the depth of the game

                1. ♕♕ yes, I totaly agree with you. No sonyan or Xbox, (if that’s what you earth children call them these days) can say otherwise♕♕

              6. It’s laughable that DF thinks you get the same feel of this game without the game pad. I loved it on Wii U and if this lazy port means they make a second for PS4 I’m happy. As long as they put some thought and effort into it. But let’s face facts, the Wii U is still the definitive version because of its ‘gimmicky’ controller

                1. WiiU is definitive because of dual screen and graphics,textures on characters clothes and lighting is much better on wiiu the fire when blowing up the petrol drums was much more intense on wiiu go watch that bit lots of bits where wiiu basically proved better graphics,cleaning up a few environment textures but taking away character textures and brightening the lighting on ps4 ie because of less detail prob allows this…

              7. LAughable. Most of the recent reviewers point that the game loses its personality without the second screen and there´s even a glitch with the inventory management this time that don´t allow you to drop unecessary items nor rearrange them. Also gone were the character voices telling the story when you find a letter or document. It does well enough for an average survivor horror on those systems, but it surely loses a lot of personality.

                1. And that’s why they’re so irrelevant. Remember when they lost it over MK8 framerate only dropping by 1..ONE FUCKING FRAME but never lost it when Titanfall’s framerate sucked ON PC !

              8. This is pathetic Ubisoft. This game bombed on the Wii U because of your poor marketing, bot because “Wee U babiez don’t lik hardcorz gamez!” This game will bomb on the other platforms because it’s a shitty port. The sad thing is, if you ACTUALLY put effort in this game it might have had a chance to sell across the board.

              9. I don’t see this game doing well on the Xbox One or PS4 despite the upgrades. It is still the same story, main controls, etc. It’s missing the gamepad functions and has gained better graphics.

                That doesn’t make it a “great game.”

                  1. What better graphics? Both PS4/X1 are essentially mid-ranged PCs that’s barely any better than last gen consoles aka “cosmetic” generation jump; nothing more, nothing less.

                1. Upgrades ?? hahahaha…WiiU has better lighting,graphics ie textures on characters,graphic effects like fire explosions are all better on wiiu the slightly better framerate is due to cutting effects from ps4 and with it being 3 years later ect also wiiu version was done on unfinished devkits they got alot more powerful…

              10. exclusives what exclusives

                its getting great reviews on steam. i don’t know why nintendo fans go on about exclusives i’d rather have a console that came out witb all the games. especially when you get 6 or 7 exclusive games a year and thats all the games you get. i too have bought a wii u for nintendo games because i haven’t owned a nintendo since super nintendo. this is my last nintendo because fucking toys don’t interest me games do. we all wish for the glory days but that ship bas sailed.good for ubisoft i hope devils third finds it way on a real console too.

                1. I don’t think it will do well. The game has had poor marketing in general to be honest. It’s a shitty port from the Wii U. Think about that for a moment. It’s been 3 years since it was released. People are over this game.

                  Ubisoft is doing this shit to prove that this game bombed because of the Wii U. I think it’ll bomb on the other platforms because it’s a shitty port.

              11. Nobody knows if DF tell the truth or minipulate these vids ?? i mean they big up games like second son with its framerate all over the place and come down hard on Mariokart8/Bayonetta2 when these games have the smoothest gameplay in town there idiot fanboys….

              12. When I read that and looks at the video I thought OK ubisoft tries to get some money back. Why not? In fact I am surprise they haven’t done it sooner if I am honest. What will be interesting to see is the sales of zombie. If the sells performance are better than wii U that will somehow give reason to ubisoft not supporting the wii U. But if the game perform poorly on other plateform I don’t know if Ubi will think the game was crap in the first place and players does not matter the plateform did not like it. And on the top of that will think that Wii U owners want the same quality games as other platform (not half bake games) and will start again to release games on the wii U. I for sure won’t buy that game I own for the wii U.

              13. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

                Everyone else are “remastering” old games on PS4 and Xbone so I don’t see why Ubisoft should be any different.

              14. “Cleaned up..”? what..the game looked better when it was on the Wii U, they just added more blood but it seems washedout and lenses flair and lighting were removed.
