http://venturebeat.c...ames-interview/GamesBeat: So why did you choose a zombie game as the main game for coming out…?
Poix: When we were experimenting with the new controller, we found that… The fact that you need to look at two screens, look at something on the controller… We found that you need to check what was on the main TV at the same time. So thinking about that, we went into the horror kinds of games, and zombies were something that we loved doing. The creative process led us to doing a game with zombies. And it’s really popular, so it worked out. The story will be based in London, because as you all know… It would be where an epidemic starts, in London after the Olympic Games. [laughs]
GamesBeat: Is it a realistic zombie, or a…?
Poix: Realistic, totally realistic. And the horsepower of the console is really there to push the limits.
GamesBeat: So it’s more hardcore, it’s not casual?
Poix: No, it’s totally hardcore. Yeah, sorry, totally hardcore. Oh, we have a really nice mechanic I can mention… You start with the camera in front of you on the controller. We’ve implemented a system of tracking, so it watches your face, and then it applies to your face a mask, a zombie mask. You’re able to still move, and the mask exactly follows your moves. It’s really interesting, seeing yourself as a zombie. It’s a gimmick, but it’s really nice
GamesBeat: Do any of your games use the tablet for a shooter game on the screen? They showed it on their videos last year, where you would shoot with the Wiimote and then the tablet sits on top…
Poix: We have some prototypes that work with that. You use the gamepad as a screen, yes. Whether Nintendo’s tried it, I don’t know, but we do have that as a prototype.
GamesBeat: Do you have any shooter games that are lined up for the Wii U?
Poix: Zombie U is a shooter, basically a shooter.
GamesBeat: But it’s not using the Wiimote to shoot?
Poix: No, no, no… When you play alone, you only play with the new game pad, using all the features I was mentioning. It’s when you play multiplayer, where if you’re playing in the same room, one player is using it as the zombie master, putting the zombies on the map, and the others are playing with the usual standard pad. And what do you think about the Wii U? Are you excited about it?
GamesBeat: I think a lot of people want that second tablet controller to work at the same time. That would be great, right?
Poix: I don’t know, honestly I don’t know. What the asymmetrical gameplay brings, it’s really interesting. But I don’t think it’s totally necessary.
GamesBeat: Like, how do you play Madden?
Poix: With two players? Well, aysmmetrical is nice, one player is here and the other uses the Wiimote. But you’re right, if you want to do the same thing as your opponents, yes, one is missing. But then you can go online… I think at first it’s a question of price, the price point. But you need to render two screens at the same time, so it lowers the quality of one screen. If we were to add another one, it means that the processor needs to be working on three screens. It would lower, again, the quality.
GamesBeat: They need to spend more money on the processor… [laughs] Still, it sounds like it didn’t hold you back any.
Poix: Oh, no.
GamesBeat: Is the zombie title going to be a launch title, most likely?
Poix: Yes. We have huge support from Nintendo on this title, huge support. You’ll see something tomorrow at our conference, and then something else at the Nintendo one.
GamesBeat: Are you using this Miiverse in some way, the online part?
Poix: Yeah, we’re building stuff for all that, yeah. Actually, I don’t know if you’ve seen the video, but all the examples are about somebody who plays a zombie game, so… We’re supporting it a lot. So if I’m playing Zombie U and I can’t get rid of one specific zombie, I can direct with the controller, I go into the community and say, I’m totally blocked on this one, and all the other people from the community giving you answers. They really want to make sure that every gamer is connected to either friends or other gamers that are playing the same games. It’s a good strategy..
