i love the idea that a game that hasn't been released yet (on WiiU) and on all other platforms has been described thusly :
can be listed in the top 3 FPSes on the WiiU platform purely on the basis that there are only 3 to list in totalKotaku, I think wrote:"I can think of no compelling reason why anyone should play this game. Ugly, flat, boring, aggravating and often broken, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is the purest form of video game garbage. It's utterly unworthy of your time and money."
First-to-market - when quality and innovation aren't options!
I tell you who's probably delighted though is GearBox. Because ZombiU isn't an FPS really, so if they hurry they can get Aliens : Colonial Marines into the silver medal position!0 -

Think that's bad? Here's a user review for Need for Speed:Most Wanted out on Friday...
"game is inferior to the 360 version, graphics are on par, not even better and the controls stink. they also changed the number of count on players online from 8 to 6, this is not the best version far from. nintendo released a crappy console that can't even run current gen games at 60fps or 1080p, infact most current gen games are inferior, sell your wiiu while you can before they drop the price to 99$ like the dreamcast."
Oh I might have to reconsider it now after all that informed opinion

There are all sorts of rumours. That it's canned. That it's the worst of the bunch. That it's the best of the bunch. That if you play it your chest will explode and aliens will flood your house. None of them have been substantiated yet. But unless they can pull some lazarussian magic off with the code they'd be better off not releasing it. No one who'd be excited about the property can have failed to have heard about how **** the game is.
On the other hand... this property is now poison. No one wants to buy it. But they've got a "working" WiiU build, they have to have if it was scheduled for release in the next month. If they take some time to evaluate where they can push the boat out a little in terms of texture fidelity, lighting and shader complexity, fix the obvious issues with enemy AI and placement, make a kick-ass motion detector out of the WiiU controller, ramp up the tension and dial down the gung-ho; then take a look at their discarded work, see if there's anything in there that would make this game more Aliens and less Call of Dukey... (I remember hearing something about escort missions and civilians turning out to be company spies, that kind of thing... and there has to be a trusted colleague who turns out to be an evil robot, it's tradition!) Surely Sega and Gearbox realise this property has huge potential, and they have an opportunity with the WiiU to fix what they broke and lay the groundwork for a successful Next Gen IP on the neXtBox / PS4 ?
Also, Nintendo could really benefit from having the ONLY good version of a game that everyone wanted to play before they played it
The ads write themselves. "In your front room... no one can hear you scream... because you're sitting on the upstairs toilet playing on the Controller screen". You could even hype how terrifying the game is and how useful being able to sit on a toilet during some of the scarier sequences is...0 -

First-person view
Edit:now I think about it, didn't they used to call first person games FPP (first person perspective) back before wolfenstein put a machine gun and a hand in the window? So you're not a million miles off0 -
