Differences[]
Zombi features several differences from the original ZombiU, due to the fact that the latter was designed to utilise the Wii U's unique capabilities. The changes to gameplay are as follows:
- All second screen gameplay has been moved to the main screen, only appearing when required.
- Two new melee weapons have been added, the shovel and the nailed bat.
- The flashlight can switch to a wider, further-reaching beam which uses more battery life and increases the risk of attracting infected.
- The player swings the cricket bat much faster than in ZombiU.
- The local multiplayer and online single-player features have been removed, leaving just the solo campaign.
- When a survivor is killed or infected, their name and score no longer appear above their head.
- The Uplay reward for completing the campaign has changed. Instead of unlocking a new multiplayer mode, the player will unlock the official soundtrack for the game.
- The resolution has been upscaled to 1080p, whereas on the Wii U it was in 720p.
- The brightness has been increased and textures look sharper. The field of view has also been increased.
- Some particle effects, such as the dirty lens effect in the Wii U version, have been removed.
- Loading times have been reduced.
