1* AcclaimedFlop: Creator/{{Ubisoft}} released a statement saying ''VideoGame/ZombiU'' [[http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=207020 has bombed]] despite positive reception from many critics and fans alike. It will not get a sequel and the bombing caused the delay for a multi-platform release of ''VideoGame/RaymanLegends'' to make up the loss.
2* CreatorDrivenSuccessor: The final game is an unintentional remake of ''VideoGame/{{Zombi}}'', due to both sharing a developer, Ubisoft.
3* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The earliest idea for this game was to be an adult-oriented spin-off of Ubi's own ''VideoGame/RavingRabbids'' series for the [=PS3=] and Xbox 360. When development switched to the Wii U, it was then renamed "''Killer Freaks From Outer Space''," and was to be a tongue-in-cheek action comedy/fast paced FPS where the protagonist was a foul mouthed Englishman fighting aliens (which still looked a lot like freaky versions of the Rabbids) that invaded London. Footage of this build was shown off at [[MediaNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3 2011]]. As per WordOfGod, the reason it was changed from a fast-paced shooter to a slower paced survival horror game is that the original idea would have made using the [[MediaNotes/GeneralGamingGamepads Game Pad]] in the heat of battle too much of a distraction, so slowing things down resolved that while still keeping things tense by not pausing the on-screen action. The original "''Killer Rabbids/Freaks From Outer Space''" idea is [[DevelopmentGag referenced]] in the supermarket area. Stuffed animals of the enemies from the original idea are found on some of the store shelves.
