We brought you news some time ago that ZombiU, the launch title we’re most interested in at RoH, would offer crushing difficulty. As it turns out, it does, but only for those who seek it out.
See when you die in ZombiU, you die in real life. Haha, just kidding! When you die in ZombiU, you come back as a new survivor, in the normal campaign. You lose all of your skills and weapons, however you can gain those weapons back if you happen to find where your character dropped and wrestle your weapons back from them.
However in Survivor Mode, it’s game over if you die. Ubisoft was actually concerned that the game’s survivor mode would be too difficult to finish. Gamers are a tough bunch though – they proved them wrong.
Ubisoft is now celebrating those who have completed the game’s hardest difficulty setting by listing the names of the victors in in-game messages.
Have you played ZombiU? Do you think it’s worth shelling out for a new system? A worthy survival horror title? Let us know in the comments section!
