I've never played more than half an hour of a zombie game but would love to take this for a spin... Can you do it on the gamepad only?? (Looking for an excuse to get the wife to buy a WiiU for me, yet to find one )

Given the 'success' of this game I wouldn't be surprised to see a version launch with the new xbox next Xmas, that attachment rate is simply too good to ignore.

Had my second long session on this last night & only died twice. Its ALL starting to click now. I scan like a seasoned survivor now, bullets are not being wasted, traps being set, my prep pad has been updated to the next level, guns improved along with my skills in using them finally(been using the old willow a bit to much it seems) & shortcuts discovered.

Beat my own survivor score aswell! Though it is still woefully short of the top players.

Came across one of Retro's zeds but he had ben picked clean so he got an extra bullet in the face. Also came across one of you guys in the Brick Lane area(nice survivor score of 2000) on my way to waste my previous survivor & your BOB was loaded, with my BOB loaded aswell I was forced(well it was common sense) to make a trip back to the safe house to drop shit off, even with my larger backpack I could not carry it all & was I fuck gonna leave it there.

This game scares me more than it should for a man of my age, a first for me in gaming. The sounds & the darkness of the area's really slow me down which is good. Though yesterday I was stood outside a vent for at least 5 minutes. I did not want to go in. A previous journey through a vent had taught me a lesson, and the pipe banging sound coming from this entrance, combined with the lighting levels was a little spooky, knowing that if I entered I would not be able to use a weapon. Finaly grew a pair & got on with it, but the pause was a little gaming milestone in all my years of playing. Also looking into my BOB or scanning with the pad in new areas sometimes reduces this 38 year old bloke into a 7 year old little girl, My eyes are moving between screen & pad like they are on speed.

Story is starting to come alive now aswell.

Played for about 10 hours or so & where I am at is about a third of the way through the game according to my mate, so I have plenty in front of me & I still have not touched the local multiplayer yet.

Flicking through this thread and can't wait to get started on this.
Tonight's the night I reckon.

Lights off & sound up & play alone(in the room) if you can for max experience.

I was quite enjoying it. Until a bug meant I had to restart. Fuck's sake, Ubisoft.

Not good...

An Ubisoft bug you say... surely no.

It's gone awfully quite here. I'm downloading this at the moment. Still good?

I'm not really keen on MP anyway. I haven't played a good survival horror game in yonks so this sounds like the right thing to get. Decision to download game at inflated eshop price vindicated.

reg seems to like it still.
I'm too scared.

Thought I had been doing pretty well reaching Buckingham palace with my first survivor. The zombies in there saw to that, though - I'm on my fifth one now, and counting. Tension and atmosphere have been ratcheted up a few notches. *shiver*

I got to this bit right (just after spitalfields) and its a bit shit. A bit of a change in tone but complete nonsense. Tiresome.

Does any of this game take place in daylight?

I'm nearing the end of the current run of Walking Dead comics and watching gameplay of War Z is whetting my wick for a 'proper' zombie survival game...

Bugger, I just died at The Tower of London...

Spoiler:

just before meeting Sandra on the roof. Is this part of the game possible? When I died and came back as another surivor the prepper gave me a new mission instead of sending me back to the tower.

Yep it is.

don't forget he doesn't want you to do that so you have to go off your own back.

I think pretty much every "loading" bit I've been in is safe.
