History VideoGame / ZombiU

* BettertoDiethanBeKilled: Your character only becomes a zombie if s/he is killed by one. If you're low on health and want to avoid having to fight zombie you to get your stuff back, blowing yourself up or jumping off of a ledge can be the best move.

* ApocalypseHow: Planetary Class 3 in the making. [[spoiler:Class 4 if you fail to develop the Panacea.]]

* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: It's the lack of regenerating health that'll kill you in the long run.

* NottheFallThatKillsYou: It's the lack of regenerating health that'll kill you in the long run.
* FinalDeath: The main twist of the game. When your PlayerCharacter dies, [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie he or she becomes a zombie]] and the player takes control of a different character. If that character dies, you take control of a new character and return to your current mission. However, you lose any equipment and upgrades your prior survivor had...until you kill them, of course.
** And once you've beaten the game, you get access to Survival Mode, [[NintendoHard where you can only play a single survivor]].

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewers: Sewers are used a quick-travel system. Justified, as London's sewers are pretty big in reality.

* EmergenyWeapon: Each character starts out with the world's toughest cricket bat, which never breaks or runs out of ammo. Your character swings it slowly, and it takes 3-4 whacks to kill a zombie, so obviously you don't want to be stuck using it against a room full of zombies.

'''''[=Zombi U=]''''' is a FirstPersonShooter game with a strong SurvivalHorror influence developed by UbiSoft exclusively for the {{Nintendo}} WiiU, and is set to launch alongside the release of the system itself in late 2012. You play as a human trying to survive a ZombieApocalypse in London, but with one big twist... [[FinalDeath when you die, you stay dead]], and restart the game as a different survivor. The story is told through interaction with the handful of [=NPCs=] scattered throughout the game; mainly the mysterious man who guides you through the city and seems to know more about the events surrounding the zombie outbreak than he lets on.

Originally thought to be yet another overused Zombie themed game that would be doomed as something very boring, Zombi U has taken many critics off-guard by its surprising gameplay and the actual shrill of horror due to the real time nature of the game.

** And once you've beaten the game, you get access to Nightmare Mode, [[NintendoHard where you can only play a single survivor]].

* SuperTitle64Advance: With a pun in the title. [[DontExplainTheJoke Because you can become a zombie.]]

* AndJohnWasAZombie: What happens to your character when bitten. Problematic as weapons and equipment stay with them as they are a zombie.

* UnstatbleEquilibrium: Survive longer with the same character and that character has a better chance of surviving longer. And survive longer with the same character and...

** And before all that, [[http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=183131 it was a Raving Rabbids game]].
