ZOMBIU™ 

Boris.

I love how when you're about to die, sometimes your character will nervously laugh, it's pretty scary

The fact that when you die you switch bodies with someone else and have to kill your previous character is absolutely amazing and sounds so cool.

I love how in the game's lore London and its society collapsed in one week, to the point where most of the people were dead or infected. And the PM completely ignored the infection at first. Britain, I guess.

Fun fact; this game could be considered a spiritual sequel to Ubisoft's first ever game -- 1986's "Zombi".

ZombiU is like one of the few zombie horror game where you can feel your character is actually tried their best struggle to keep alive, you can hear your character roaring and frustration with each hits against zombies with your weapons to remind you that your character is just a regular civilian, the mechanic of lockpicking doors and the camera switch behind to your character's view to see a potential nearby zombies slowly heading towards you is a perfect execution and I'm surprised that there's no any other games in the same genre does this. The atmosphere of the game is damn perfect, it set the tone and mood of the outbreak apocalypse in London and it's how other zombie survival horror game should have been.

I literally got this game for free with xbox gold, played it once, and never touched it again. not cause its boring. but because it scares the hell outta me. i have never been more terrified in a zombie apocalypse game in my entire life.

finally a new sseth video

I like how this game has a incredible story. You're an American visiting Britan and the inhabitants keep saying things like "Innit" and "Gov'na" or "Crikey" and get angry when you don't understand their garbled nonsense. Luckily being an american you have access to a large variety of firearms. Masterpiece of a game and thanks for doing it justice in your video.

The biggest horror of this game is being the fact that, you have to be british. God imagine being Anglo, what a horrid fate.

I really like the feature when a player turns into zombie when you died

is it just me, or did the accent and location of it all add a more terrifying aspect to the game/ and that fuckin nurse zombie, being in a goddamn children’s hospital didn’t help, was and still is the scariest game i’ve ever played

I can't be the only one wishing we had a Switch sequel. I still go back and play this game a lot. Hell, I actually enjoy going back and discovering new glitches. My only massive complaint is that you don't get to fight the queen at the end.

I actually always liked in Ubisoft games the glitch where enemies talk one last time before finally being dead on the ground. Almost feels like that last "up yours" from the enemy even though it's a glitch.

Interesting little bit of British trivia, my guys. The guy who voices the Prepper is the same guy who plays (or rather, played) Johnny in Coronation Street. Plus he voiced Djikstra in Witcher 3.

I played through this on the WiiU and it was definitely the best game I played through on the system. I died once incredibly early and then kept this huge black dude alive all the way up through to the end. I was devastated when I woke up as a little Asian girl went and put my boi outta his misery only to literally climb a ladder and the game end. Haha. I like to imagine he was clearing the way for the rest of his people to make it through. Rest in Power last true King of London.

Also if you plan on revisiting the game any sooner id reccomend you doing a Gun only run the game is very resourceful with ammo and using stomps and pushing to your advantage is crucial

As one of the 5 people who still have a WiiU, I can say this game is one of my favorites. From the fight you have with the preschool guardian to King Boris arena music, I just love it. This video is underrated, liked and subbed.

2:49 When I got to this part, I couldn't help but laugh due to how cursed this short cutaway was. Seriously, why does the kid on the left look both old and young at the same time? He looks like he's about to head off to the pub after school is over 🤣

The best way to play this imo is on a WiiU, in the dark, on Iron Man (survivor) mode and sleep deprived if you can. The zombies are a threat enough but when your decision making goes to the dogs and you're fighting not only the zombies, but your own body just to stay alive for just a minute longer. That's true immersion right there.

Wait, britain is real?

Oh. Someone played this nightmare of a game too? I say nightmare cause no matter how underrated this game was, it still is an experience. You can feel your character is tired and vulnerable, not to mention the stress I had to go through of trying NOT to get ambushed

Looks like a normal life in the UK to me

i played this game on the ps4. i didnt experience many bugs, if not any. i actually really liked the ballence of horror and action and it pushed me towards getting a platnum trophy, with by far the hardest trophy to get is to finish the game on survival mode (hardest mode without dying). i actualy would like to see a sequel to this game.

You have just awakened some very very deep memories from within my depths with that video at 8:44 I'm starting to remember the insane amount of irl cod zombies videos I watched way back when

Im glad you covered this game its a complete blast and ive played wii u and the ports love the video man

I literally just reinstalled this since I only played it for a little bit on PC. Then you make a video on it, a pleasant surprise. I luckily have less of the bugs but yeah the PC port is a bit buggy. I do wish we got that sequel though, just make the Prepper Pad be like the Map in Far Cry 2 where you phyiscally pull it out to look at it instead of the too-large mini-map we ended up with on the non-WiiU versions, I do agree Modern Ubisoft would probably butcher it though.

The multiplayer on Wiiu was awesome. There was a survivor v. Zombi master mode, the master used the game pad to spawn zombis while player two played in first person

I love this game, it really didn't get the attention it deserved and it's just classic survival horror in a great setting and it made zombies feel genuinely scary and threatening, which isn't something alot of zombie media actually manages to do. Also when i played it on PS4 i didn't have any peformance issues or bugs genuinely.

Unmentioned, the Wii U version has local multiplayer where one person uses the Wii U gamepad to spawn zombies like Zombie Master while the other one plays with any other controller type while he survives the hordes sent. I found out zombies will never pounce if you're at full health, which is neat! 5:23 You can shoot them in the head and they won't explode. Cricket bat makes them explode for some reason. 5:47 I feel like this game would really benefit from a Randomizer mod like Resident Evil 2 on the N64 had, or all the mods. The punk could turn any area into a tense event 8:24 I think the gun was like 1 point less damage than the pump-action which is 10, and it's not semiautomatic? Hell yeah. Why don't you like it? Because there's about 30 shotgun shells in one playthrough?

I've played this on ps4. Works fine on that system, thankfully.

Fun fact: did you know that originally there was going to be a horror spin off of raving rabbids called killer freaks from outer space, but unfortunately I didn’t work out, so it got reworked into this game.

With how good this game looks and feels I'm utterly confused about how it fucking managed to slip under my radar for so long 💀

I remember this game. Thank you for reminding me that it exists. It’s definitely a unique zombie game because of the controls, and premise. It’s too bad that nobody played it. Luckily mods can fix the game’s issues, and add in new content. I am one of the 5 humans alive who still has a WiiU. I also made the terrible mistake of getting Star Fox Zero. Absolutely terrible game. It’s a mediocre retread of 64 (which was a remake of 1). When people say it has the worst control scheme ever they aren’t making that up. It is truly awful. Sadly Nintendo killed Star Fox with their own incompetence. Luckily I know of a few fan games that hopefully won’t get stomped. Do you think you’ll talk about the Halo games now that they’re on Steam, and getting official modding tools? Or probably not? Great video. I love how you replicated the Sethtzeench formula.

3:45, suddenly become pyrocynical

I remember playing this on the WiiU as a kid and getting to the final level, where you need to get on a helicopter. I managed to keep my character alive the whole game, which was extremely difficult, so when the chopper came, all I had to do was jump in, and all my hard work would pay off. Unfortunately, when I tried to "jump" onto the helicopter, I just fell off the roof and died. Apparently, after they say "hop on" they land, and then you walk over to it. I vowed to never play ZombieU again, though I remember it was fun... up until that point at the end.

I got this game on Xbox One free with gold several years ago. Fantastic game, absolutely terrifying. Though I have to disagree about the firearms, I think the system is good as is, because of the permadeath system. You lose one gun, not the end of the world because you have a backup to use.

Best thing about this game is Captain Price teaching you how to survive a zombie apocalypse

I'm one of the few people that had this for my Wii U. It was quite an experience at the time. I made it to the end but I never got to actually complete it because my right anolog stick started to drift, so I was afraid to start the last mission in fear of dying at the end.

Dude your editing KILLED ME - THAT Ubisoft Rip was Insane! Keep those up, soo funny and epic!

Damn great to see someone who actually played this game. I really liked it up the free ps4 version I had isn’t a thing anymore.

Because of this review I bought this game, having a blast with it, also the crash was fixed in November 2021, thank goodness

8:55 I don't mind universal ammo types in video games covering every member of different weapon classes, but it feels weird to see the SA80 ranked above an AK because I'd normally assume the only advantage the former had over the latter is that you aren't going to find all that much 5.45x39 in Great Britain. Anyhoo, first video of yours I've seen, and you've got a good voice along with engaging use of editing, and I like the detail you go into for a game that I don't think I've thought of for almost a decade, but remembered being pretty neat. If the rest of your content is anything like this, it's an easy subscribe.

They actually patched the bug that was causing the game to crash when connected to online, I think its safe to assume that was all thanks to you mate

This game does have its flaws but I enjoy it. The game doesn’t rely heavily on jumpscares unlike most survival horror games (not bashing such games as FNAF or anything) but the ambiance is what makes ZombiU feel so unique including the awesome zombie types that you meet along the way

I think ZombiU is a underrated gem

This game really is a masterpiece, I wanna see a sequel simular to the original gameplay. This really is the best zombie game ever to me. And I definitely like the wiiu version, I have both ports, pc, wiiu,playstation.

11:58 🤣 why didn't I think about that? My brother has played this game so much and we never thought about this🤣 Mate your my new favourite RU-vidr now🤣

The SA 80 is actually GOOD?!

At the part where u cut to Chris Redfield hitting a rock at the end of RE 7 I was wheezing xD

I kinda like that permanent death stuff. I hope more games implement that stuff.

one thing that made me chuckle about the upgrade system in the game was the firepower upgrade and the like were literally lower receivers from airsoft MP5s complete with gearbox, things are so bad our hero is sticking the guts from a cyma mp5 into his L85 and hoping for the best

This game was my jam as a kid, very Bonk heavy game, 10/10

I played LEGO City: Undercover on the WiiU, but we got rid of the console before I finished the game cause I was a little incompetent child. But years later I got it on the PS4 as a joke and completed it. It was truly a touching moment.

Despite the amount of shit this game gets I found it to be probably the most realistic and scary zombie game to date in terms of a level esc game Edit: After playing it a little more this game haunted me as a middle schooler and shit still haunts me to this day. The almost complete lack of music, you knowing only 2 zombies is enough, fear of losing stuff, and the noise compiles to be completely fucking horrifying

I don't have enough words to express how fucking happy this video makes me. I got a Wii U and this game when I was little (I asked for it so no, i didn't get a shit present ) and always loved it, but absolutely no one ever talked about it aside from some mentions here and there. So thank you mate, for shining some light into this forgotten gem of a game and reminding me of the great and haunting times I had with it

Most of the trash weapons were added in the ported versions. The extra melee weapons in particular. Seeing the minimap on the main screen makes me a sad puppy - you're MEANT to be scooting your eyes up and down to follow your radar pings and potentially walking blind into a sleeping zombie you just woke up. No multiplayer, either! Definitely get ZombiU over Zombi if you can.

the "this is sparta" just aged me about 20 years,thanks

This game is legitimately terrifying.

I never understood why the zombies' teeth stay the same before and after infection until I remembered the game takes place in England.

This game works best, probably on PlayStation 4. And Yes...I've played 3 rounds of it, no bugs have surfaced yet.

Finally completed the game today

Is it just me or does black yoshi sound exactly like pyrocynical lol

Yo this discount Pyrocynical is cold as hell dawg

3:01 do you have your stabbing license

Holy shit that video of those two dweebs picking up a pistol and butterknife brought back a deep memory of when i was autistically into cod zombies irl videos

7:01 This section looks like those scenes in movies where the kid characters play an obviously fake “cgi” video game lol! 😄

5:30 "...part and parcel of living in a big city" - London's mayor.

It is painfully obvious that you are copying pyrocynical style. The editing, reducing your mic quality when showing gameplay, the same voice, the same jokes. All these little details add up and makes it really cringe to watch you. It also shows how little personnality you have.

I'm currently working on a video project about this game, I love it very much. I'd like to point out a little detail I noticed where your character has a personality, sure they have a look, and an occupation, but they also have their own fear tolerance. I recently played through the game again and my character was a stoic bastard but depending on your character when being chased by an infected or facing multiple of them your character will actually whimper in fear or scream when crunching an infected's brain but not all of the characters and not at the same time. (However they will all scream in anger after whacking an infected about 6 times in a row.) Edit: I'd also like to point out how the game is extremely broken on modern Windows architecture, there's visual bugs on the Series X and countless sound, texture and AI bugs on Windows 11, however when I played it last in mid 2021 on Windows 10 and Xbox One it was perfectly fine either way the game still plays fine there was no crashing or game breaking issues but yeah. (Also for some reason the mission where you first try to evac from the Tower of London was broken for me and the Helicopter just hanged out there until the end of the game, didn't stop me from progressing though) Edit 2 electric boogaloo: Don't buy the game on steam and buy it on the Ubisoft launcher instead, you can get it cheaper, it works better, and you can get some cool concept art packs and soundtrack.

The feeling of making it to safe house in Survivor mode was met with legitimate exhaustion, logging off for the night and then spending the next day thinking about getting back in.

Just came across this video, and might I say, Hearing the words "Wii U" and "Zombi" gave me flashbacks so hard that it gave me whiplash.

This is one time I can't be upset hearing Spade, because it's a British game.

Damn I played this game waaay back in the day and completely forgot of its existence until this video resurfaced. Thanks Yosh

Pyrocynical is that you

the trailer gotta be the best thing about it

Love that you said you started making the video in March and I thought that's alright its only April, then realised the video came out 5 months ago....

0:05 Hold up league was 3 years away in 2006 if anything it should be warcraft 3 for that sweet Dota 1 experience

I played this way back in 2015 when they ported it to PS4, replayed it last year too, I would consider it an absolute hood classic

Just came across this video in my recommendations, you are the funniest RU-vidr I’ve found, subbed!!!!

i still remember the first time i shat my pants with this game, i was in the kindergarden part where those electric zombies start coming out and you need to kill them all to use the scaner to open a door, i was using it after killing all the zombies and i was pretty chill since i cleaned te zone, then suddendly i got a screamer and i almost scream in panic the screamer was programed so when you get near the zombie body this one jumps and screams at you, i was over the zombie body with the scan mode on i left the game for a while since then

8:24 bruh the semiautomatic shotgun has litteraly better stats than the pump action

Man this was the second game I got for the Wii U (which I indeed still have, with the game) and I absolutely loved it, took me quite a long time to finish it cause I got my kiddo pants full of shit every time I played it, but have a blast, and yep, playing it on the Wii U gives u a better experience, even with sound, cause the prepper speaks to you directly from the game pad, and the sonar sound comes from the game pad too, which makes it even more immersive, it’s sad that the game was ignored by most people, and even some friends of mine already said it was a bad game just because it was on Wii U and having them completely change their mind about the game after playing it, it even had a pretty descent multiplayer (king Boris sending z vs survivor). Other thing that wasn’t actually very remarkable but is fun to mention is that if you where connected to the internet you could find graffiti of other players that would try to give you clues about weapons or combat, or troll you,and that if someone died while connected to the internet that survivor will appear as a zombie in your game with his equipment (except guns) I really liked this game and I’m happy some one gave it attention Psd. FUCK THE NURSE MISSION, that shit gave me ptsd till this days

I recently picked this game up for 10 bucks and honestly its not too bad. Watching this gave me an idea of the game and I just thought this was funny. This was cool subbed :)

its 4.99 currently on sale, i scooped that up immediately after watching this.

The einfield is so good it couldn’t make it on the weapon tier list

Mom: we have pyrocynical at home Pyrocynical at home:

I love that outro so much lol

Wow, good taste in games AND used CoF ost, subscribed man, you're awesome.

The Daycare quest/part of the game is the most I've ever been scared in games/movies.

Just beat it on the one life difficulty; I HEAVILY recommend this game to anyone who enjoys FPS horror games; it scared me more than Resident Evil 7 did, and that says a lot.

This game 100% nailed how helpless someone would feel at any moment during a zombie apocalypse. It may not be perfect but I would definitely recomend it for one of the most realistic experiences of the zombie genre. PS: I don't know if I'm blessed or what but I never had any problems at all when it came to starting the game and I don't remember it ever crashing on me :/ cheers bruv!

I'm glad for this review. I still tell people ZombiU is on my top 100 or so games, and is one of, if not my favorite zombie game rivaling left 4 dead, and people always go "Uhhh??", I can finally explain why I love this game without having to put any effort in actually explaining and just link this video instead.

Just got hit by the nostalgia train when I heard the "this is Sparta" remix.

Its the first zombie game I beat myself, I played it on the WiiU, I got the bad ending, and I’m absolutely _terrified_ of zombies. It was GLORIOUS.

Watching this while enjoying my Pepsi Max

This has inspired me to make some more zombie-themed Gmod artwork. Thank you Black Yoshi

"pepsi max sipping degenerates" "new coke was a mistake" - macarthur

That royal gard cutting buddies head off with a bayonet in the trailer always makes me go wtf

fun lil thing about the 28 days later references theirs actually a house near the start of the game in a distance that has Christmas lights on its window, like the apartment house in 28 days later.
