Wow, talk about high praise! It’s understandable that a developer exclusive to a platform (at least for the time being) would sing some sort of praise for the console they’re developing on, but rarely do you hear such kind words. This comes from ZombiU creative director Jean-Phillipe Caro…
“We never wanted to reinvent any genre but the fact that is when we decided to change from Killer Freaks to ZombiU we had to rethink what we were going to do. What we have done is talk about old games, old movies, comics – what we like in life about zombies. You have a galaxy of zombie games, movies, comics – the genre is almost dead. People are saying always: the zombie genre is dead. We are not reinventing, we are recycling. What we wanted to do is not a revolution of the survival horror game but what we like is the survival aspect while the horror is part of the zombie thing.”
“I think we are making something fresh with the most innovative console. The Wii U is the most innovate system for the moment on Earth. We didn’t have to make a big innovation on our side – it was all here on the system so that was easier for us.”
I gotta admit, these guys at Ubisoft have really won me over in the last couple of days! Looks like it’s time to lay down my preorder.
