ZombiU gameplay footage

EDIT: Some direct-feed footage of the game.

The video should have shown us what's going on in the controller screen.

The video I originally posted does just that.

I guess I should have left in the OP. Sorry about that.

Hmm..It looks pretty good.

Looks good, but just looks a bit too linear and although it is supposedly about survival, it seems more objective based, hope its not and im wrong, or it would be a missed opportunity.

After watching this video two things have been confirmed.

1. The Wii U is not as powerful as the PS3 or 360. The game's engine is really outdated,with poor animations,lighting and other effects.Games currently on the PS3 and 360 looks better than this game technically in every way.Both exclusive and cross platform.

2. The tablet controller is a useless gimmick. If it is only going to be used to display the area map, then it's pointless. I would rather have the minimap at the bottom of the screen rather than to have to look down at the controller all of the time. The HUD that keeps telling you to look at the controller is both annoying and distracting.

I had some reactions that sort of relate to those points.

1. I thought the engine looked like it could be a minor step up. While the technical achievements seemed low, it looked consistently well-rendered to me to some degree (I'll admit, it's hard to tell, though, without exact footage of the game itself rather than "direct feed" as Blacksite describes it). It makes me wonder if that revealed a more capable engine...yet not quite the kind of engine we were expecting out of a Next-Gen console since it appears underutilized by ZombiU (typical of a launch title, of course).

2. It's a launch title, though. Innovations will emerge over time. Can't expect too much this soon, I would imagine.

Anyways, I wish I saw direct footage to get a good analysis of the visuals. The game itself is what I expected it to be. Honestly, the main thing I feel will draw back WiiU is that remarkably non-ergonomic controller. But I suppose you can always buy the Pro Controller...but then you'd have no secondary screen...
