Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) No, not the awesome adventure game. From the same studio that brought us the amazing Kinect Star Wars is a Walking Dead FPS. Wii U version will have a backpack interface on the Game Pad. Out 29th March http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-01-10-release-date-for-activisions-the-walking-dead-survival-instinct Edited February 8, 2013 by Retro_Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 10, 2013 It actually looks all right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 10, 2013 There's footage on Youtube that looks absolutely dire. Although only a few minutes long it doesn't seem to have any "horror" aspects at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 10, 2013 There's footage on Youtube that looks absolutely dire. Although only a few minutes long it doesn't seem to have any "horror" aspects at all. Yeah if it's that same video I also watched that earlier, it looked terrible, like a PS3/360 launch title so I wasn't sure if it was the real thing, or a mod someone had done based on another engine. The Wii U should be getting the retail version of the Telltale games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 11, 2013 Is this the video ye are on about? God that looks horrid Like someone did a serious mod to a Minecraft grahics engine (the whole movement of the character/camera just makes me think Minecraft) I'd like for this to be great as I love the show, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Get teh feeling it'll be all run and gun with little atmosphere or tension and certainly nothing compared to ZombiU Would like to be wrong though but at this stage I'd prefer if Telltale released their game on teh eShop or even on disc.

Posted January 11, 2013 its like they got Half life two and made a zombie-u mod, only a really bad mod....... i really hope this is an early build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah that was the video. Everything about it upsets me. From the odd flashlight, poor ladder mechanism and mostly the fact that those zombies look and move awfully. They aren't scary at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 11, 2013 This games looks appalling. This is the kind of game I would happy if the Wii U version never happened! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 11, 2013 I love pretty much everything about the Walking Dead, the adventure game by Telltale was my favourite game of the year but this just looks plain bad. Its hard to predict how a game will come out, sometimes you get a real suprise (just look at sleeping dogs) but they seem to be just reskinning a generic shooter with a walking dead skin. The comics, the tv show and the other game all work around the premise that attacking the zombies straight on or using a gun is a fairly bad idea, playing a shooter based in that universe just seems totally against the spirit of the whole thing. Not to mention that our playable characters are a couple of racist brothers from the South, sure Daryl redeems himself but are we going to have to listen to Meral swearing and shouting racist slurs at asian zombies? I just dont understand who this game is being made for... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 11, 2013 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/390234/the-walking-dead-survival-instinct-for-wii-u-will-not-come-to-australia/ Activision's forthcoming The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct will not release in Australia on the Wii U, it has been confirmed. According to Vooks.net the Wii U version recently disappeared from Australian retailer websites, and is not referenced in new promotional material. When the site contacted Activision regarding the omissions, the publisher confirmed it will not stock the Wii U version in Australia. "As with every game release, publishers decide which platforms to release based on customer demand. Unfortunately it wasn't there for the Wii U SKU on The Walking Dead." Activision made a similar move in Australia with the release of 007 Legends late last year. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct will release for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on March 20 in Australia. The first official trailer released last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2013 With Aliens being a let a down (and maybe even not coming to WiiU anymore) is there any hope this game might surprise and be good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 14, 2013 What did Daryl ever do to deserve being on the cover of this game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 21, 2013 Wow, look at how awesome this games turned out to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2013 So is that why Activision won't give me a review copy? Though to be fair I am a little impressed with the number of Zombies on screen at once.... hope ZombiU 2 can do that.... but you know without degrading the rest of teh game which seems to have happened here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2013 Though to be fair I am a little impressed with the number of Zombies on screen at once.... I thought it looked quite empty. I'm guessing you haven't played the Left 4 Dead games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
