ZombiU 2 prototype in development at Ubisoft

Good news. This game has a lot of room for improvement.

This was an incredible game... true survival horror.  If they can expand and refine what was good about the first one they'll have a triple A title on their belts.  Super excited!

Hehe.... Zombie U 2.

So we'll be able to shotgun zombie Bono to ribbons? SOLD

If Red Steel 2 can be a vastly superior game than the first, then the sequel to Zombi U can be too?

It was actually a pretty sweet game. It definitely lacked in game modes and no online coop was a bit of a buzz kill. Still wouldn't mind seeing a sequel.

Excellent! I hope they can expand on the melee weapons available, and improve upon the combat mechanics a little bit more, and perhaps pump those graphics up a little bit. maybe online co-op only missions would be quite fun as well, giving the levels parts where the characters get split up, so they can still utilise some of the jumpy tricks and what not? Zombi U had great potential, and I don't think its a bad game by a long shot. I would welcome a sequel with open arms.

Here's hoping that the sequel will be better than the first game. ZombiU was okay, but it could have been a lot better.

I KNEW IT!!!! I KNEW THERE WOULD BE A SEQUEL!!!!

I'm excited for this. ZombiU was obviously rushed to meet the launch day. I'm a big fan of the concept but the execution left alot to be desired. Red Steel was a victim to this as well for the Wii, and look how well its sequel fared. No pressure, and the success ZombiU received, the sequel could be what the original intended to do and then some.

to me it is still one of the best zombie games out there, very creepy, good game :D and probably one of the funniest infront-of-couch multiplayer experience ever....when we wanna play coop games then we start with zombi u in multiplayer and after 3-4 hours we think about "something else?"....."erm..one round" :D

This one will probably go multiplatform, at least I hope it does so they can leave out all the gimmicks and focus on making a decent game because the concept is there but the execution is lacking.

I don't know. I thought ZombiU was mediocre. If they fix the problems of the first game, and don't use the gamepad in the most obvious gimmicky ways, than I'll give the sequel a chance.

While I got bored with the campaign, my nephew and I enjoyed the multiplayer. One person playing zombie master while the other play the survivor was really cool.

They still need to fix the trash pile that's zombie u

I enjoyed it. If they can manage a satisfying fix to the repetitive combat (specifically damage zones to reward me for nailing a zombie's head or the like) then it would be a success in my book.

Well, sequels are to improve this times in videogames. I've seen more than respect in user reviews for this, so they may have the chance to put up something really special.

It got a lukewarm critical reception because it's a lukewarm game.

I mean it's not terrible but it's not really great either.

How about No.  ZombieU was tedious and not fun at all.  The only people that liked it are people who really want to hate on RE6 because they want a survival horror game even if it's terrible and boring to play.  I'll pass.

ZombiU was a good game and a sequel would be awesome. The game needs a lot of work but they got so many things right at the same time. one of the few zombie games that actually encourages you to avoid encounters and survive like it was a real zombie apocalypse.

I love how optimistic everyone is being. The sequel will have limited connection the original. In that I mean it will basically be streamlined to the point where it is a generic action shooter with zombies. Do you guys honestly believe they will stick with the same formula after the critical and commercial results they received with the original game?

no zombies no buy

Hate permanent death

Simply annoying since you have to start from the very begining

The best Survival Horror i've played in a while.  A great slow paced atmospheric game.

Loved the first game, great atmosphere and a decent story. Actually made me jump a few times and gave me that creepy SH2 vibe. Second game needs to fix the glitches, add more Melee combat. Also an online co-op would be nice.

Loved ZombiU! Glad to see they might be releasing another one!

Cool, loving the first game and I can't wait to see what they do with the 2nd one (if it is in fact zu2).  The only thing I really want different this time around is less cricket bat lol.  Other than that, just some tighter graphics and that's really it.  Any other improvements will be welcome.

This is one of the few games I'd actually say go and get it to try it out, it's much better than the reviews give it credit for.  Very fun game, but it's not very easy and I love the perma death, go back and kill the old you to get your stuff mechanic lol.

"Ubisoft managing director Xavier Poix said the message behind the Wii U was hard to convey and that it might have led to ZombiU's ukewarm critical reception" doesnt sound like these guys were listening at all.

Ubi just stop Nintendo will react the sooner you stop pumping out mediocre titles for the WIIU, since Ubi is like all the third party support they got.

I think that's good news.  A few tweaks to the gameplay so combat isn't so repetitive and a few nips and tucks on that engine and ZombiU 2 could be something special

Hopefully it turns out like Red Steel 2 in terms of the quality jump from the original. Like Red Steel, I felt that ZombiU was fun, but had a lot of flaws that needed to be addressed.

I don't think the critical reception had anything to do with the console. If the game is bad, it doesn't matter if it comes out on PS/Xbox/PC or whatever, so long as it sucks, it will still be labeled as such...
