I'm still holding my breath on a PS3 release. That said, if this is my only option... I'll probably check it out pending reviews and\or a rental.

Capcom's got a good track record in my book. I'd easily trust them more than, say, EA.

@Krondonian:

yeah, but they werent true cubes, they were cuboids, or rectangular boxes

FenderMaster

As much as Wii owners complain about ports, I'll pick this one up if it's even half as fun as RE4 Wii.

And actually, I am one of those people who bought the Wii for 3rd party games. ;)

Naturestee

I dunno why everyone is hating on this game. Perhaps it'll be more fun than the 360 version. The original Dead Rising was hugely over rated IMO. Although, I don't want to imply I didn't like it.

Sounds like they are ironing out the problems I had with the original. I'm actually really interested in this!

CAPCOM!!! Where the **** is my Dead Rising 2 ARRRRGH!!!

i guess whatever lawsuit capcom had with the dawn of the dead is now over? they settled or something?

if so that's good news since #2 can't be find behind.

@Steel_Pelican: yep, still have my willamette mall shirt. it was baby blue with a shopping cart full of weapons on the front if i remember correctly

UnderABox

@BassForever: Did you even play the game? There was always 20-30 zombies trying to grab you

If you think these 10 zombies on the Wii version will be any smarter you're sadly mistaken.

Murderdolls

There can only be 10 zombies on the screen at one time? Really? I mean, I know the Wii is underpowered.. but wow..

I wonder what the maintenance tunnels are going to look like..

jello44

@FenderMaster: I think Mr Speilberg would disagree...

Krondonian

its funny cos the Wii would struggle to render a cube!

FenderMaster

I wonder if they'll release it at a discounted price, like RE4.

"Chop Til You Drop" was actually featured on a run of Dead Rising promo t-shirts that GameStop (maybe others, too) gave out for pre-orders. A baby-blue shirt, with a silhouetted shopping cart full of weapons.

Well, how is it not? As I remember, the Resident Evil games are zombie games and don't feature more than 10 zombies at once.

It's nice to see that the Wii is able to do exactly what the Gamecube was able to do, kind of. Seriously, how is this a zombie game when you have 10 after you?

McWhertor, you messed it up. I saw on the Capcom site that considering the, um, realities of the Wii's hardware prowess, the real title is Dead Rising: Chop Twelve Times, Then Move on to the Next Screen.

I kid, I kid!

@mva5580: Wake me up when they really start making some original games worth buying.

Mezodon

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop delivers a more immersive, intuitive and interactive experience as players use the Wii Remote to shoot, slash and bludgeon their way through a zombie infested shopping mall, fighting for survival.

Is that 'more' referring to the 360 original....or massacring zombies for real?

Krondonian

I hope the map is worth a damn this time around

That is an awesome title, but I didn't enjoy the game the first time around, so I'll have to pass on this one.

I played the one on 360, and I thought it was just ok. Granted, it was only the demo... for like 5 minutes. What makes this game so special?

Superstar90

I dunno why everyone praises Dead Rising for the 360 for having so many zombies on screen, 95% of them just stood around doing nothing untill you got close. I'd rather have 10 on screen zombies trying to kill me then 10 on screen zombies trying to kill me and 90 just standing around like idiots.

Pr1vate_D0nut

So apparently Dead Rising on the 360 was too hard so they had to dumb it down. That annoys the crap out of me. I hate how every game has to be made simple for morons.

Saving survivors was supposed to be hard. Time management was a key. Also not being able to save anywhere is just too hard for the kids of today. Spoiled little bitches.

I bet they would cry if they had some of the old game I used to love. The ones with only so many lives or continues where you have to start over if you sucked. Now they'd want to save before every boss fight.

DravenX23

a lower zombie count

BOOO! The massive amount of zombies on screen at once gave the original it's atmosphere. BOO! BAD Capcom!

Amazon_Chris

Good God people! This is going to be another in the long list of lame Wii titles. The 360 version was great, and even better when you didn't follow the storyline.

Why release a great game on such a weak and last gen system as the Wii? Spend the time and money on making Dead Rising 2 instead. Let the Wii people make their own games... we all know the Wii needs *another* Mario game.

RockerX

I'm pretty sure RE:4 on the Wii had 12 zombies on the screen at the same time, too!

Obviously you people have been going on about this all wrong, this is Resident Evil: Dead Rising.

art_zombie

Hordes.
Hordes.
Hordes.

I have no need to hoard zombies.

Also - for all the butthurt 360 fanboys with the "Waaah - you're ruining my game by letting people who have this other console get a taste of it! It can't possibly be a good game without all the pretty textures and a huge draw distance!!!!!"

Go play Nethack and STFU.

indiegeek

@jello44: What the Hell? Since when did it become factual that only ten zombies were going to be on screen at one time? From those screenshots posted on Kotaku earlier? Oh please. Don't be such tools. Those aren't final screenies people. I realize that Dead Rising had 349023502348302483 zombies on screen. It ruled..as far as aesthetics go. But practically? I would hardly even touch the zombies, let alone fight them.

Honestly..if the number of zombies on screen is the only reason some of you got enjoyment from the original DR, then I REALLY feel sorry for you..because the awesomeness of Dead Rising came from its story, its execution, and its massive replayability factor. When the Hell did all of these haters come onto Kotaku?

h445

@diablofreak: Exactly what I was wondering.

@Superstar90: Play the game for more than 5 minutes and you might find out...

This is great news - I'll buy a Wii for this even though I've played DR to death on the 360. I'm sure i'll be disappointed at some of the (necessary) changes, but I get to swing the bat instead of pressing 'x'!

Infinitum

I've already spent countless hours on Dead rising. Even after going through properly a few times i still stick it in to go whip some zombie ass with a frying pan! If this has an endless type mode where your health doesn't decrease and you can fool around as much as you like...Well im in.

Woylez

@FenderMaster: Still, if a machine can render a cuboid, I can safely say cutting down one of the dimensions wouldn't be too much of a problem.

This is a weird discussion...

Krondonian

@jello44: Yeah and almost zero textures through out the game. If you played the 360 version, you`ll understand how much detail was in the game b/c of the textures being used.

PITwelve

If you play the Wii version without having played the 360 version first, I`d say you are really missing out. I`ve heard that they are removing the camera function of the game which is pretty much the whole point of your character. @BassForever: Now you`ll only have 10 zombies on screen doing nothing. Seriously, did you try running through the horde of zombies at night?

PITwelve

My boyfriend hated RE4 for the Wii. Unfortunately, my PS2 version is scratched, so he had no choice but to play on the Wii when he decided he wanted to borrow the game to beat.

I didn't mind it so much, but really, I'd rather play anything on a regular controller.

StevenRafael

They said they changed the save system but not exactly what it was yet. Who says you can save anywhere? It would make more sense to just implement a save system similar to RE4 Wii and a bunch of other games where you can only save in certain places but those places aren't spaced ungodly far apart. Also, I really need more than one save file so my hubby and I can play separate games. I don't want to wait for him to finish a game and he doesn't want to wait for me.

Also, I fail to see how super-shiny graphics are a key draw in a zombie game. A ZOMBIE game! If I have that much time to look around at all the pretty stuff then the game is too damn slow and easy. Then again, if all I cared about was graphics I'd have more than a Wii and a PS2.

Naturestee

@Feba: Except when you were using ricochet weapons, cars, the lawnmower, chainsaws, etc to mow down large groups of zombies in a mad dash to get from A to B. The game was about zombies as an obstruction that you had to clear to move in time restrained scenarios...

And even if the game can render more than what we see here I remember that decapitating more than 4 enemies in No More Heroes caused my Wii to chug to an impressive 4 frames per second. Considering this game is supposed to be full of such encounters how will it hold up?

It's not that this will be a bad game, but it won't really have a 'Dead Rising' feel to it if they alter too many gameplay elements but of course I could be full of bologna and we'll see come launch.

art_zombie

Great, now give us it on the PS3, bioshock style.

Polite Society

@bhosp: This. At the very least, all games should include a "quick save" mode. Even if you don't want us to have SAFE save points whenever we want, at least give us a way to put down the controller when we need to without losing (potentially quite a bit of) progress. People that want more of a challenge can play "no saves" if they want. People that live in the real world, and have things going on around them they may need to attend to, should be able to shut down at a moment's notice.

Feba

Good graphics for a wii game??? Pfft.. . those screens look awful, well, I don't know maybe I've just been looking at games that arent fucking worthless.

freakoflink

How many of the Spanish people were in the Wii RE4? I thought they had about 20 people on screen at a time. Which I guess should be easy enough for the Wii to handle with DR.

DravenX23

Sounds like 'Dead Rising: Lite' to me.

sir_carrot

Have to love how people focus on the fact that the Wii can't render huge amounts of zombies at once, while completely ignoring the fact that we still have no idea how many can ACTUALLY be shown, or if Capcom is working on increasing that number before it's released. Hell, since it seems like they're redoing it with a different engine, they might even do things like narrow down hallways, so that despite the less powerful hardware, you still get the same effect.

There's also the fact that a game shouldn't NEED large groups of enemies to be fun. The thing that always interested me about Dead Rising was the ability to use nearly anything as a weapon; that doesn't look like it's going to be changing. If all DR has going for it is large crowds of zombies, it's no better than Crysis.

And anyway, if you love the original so much, why not just buy it? You enjoy what you have, and if DR:CTYD is any good, Wii owners will enjoy it. Plus, Capcom can use it to test out ideas (such as the new save system and apparently mission structure) for DR2, and see how people react to them.

This was one of very few games that had me interested in a 360, and I'm definitely happy to see it show up on Wii. If it's ported even half as well as RE4 was, it will be excellent. While Capcom does tend to use waggle a bit too much for motion controls, they do VERY well with pointer control, which for me made RE4Wii and Okami (Okamii?) much faster paced experiences than their PS2 counterparts, and that can make a game much more entertaining. I've heard friends who barely used the brush in Okami, outside when they had to, because it was just a pain-- when they were able to use the Wii brush, they constantly ran themselves out of ink having FUN with it. Wiimote might not be for everyone, but the pointer function at least is a gigantic improvement for many games.

Feba

I've gotta agree, AWESOME NAME!

Crab_Botherer

Well P I personally would rather they were working on a multi-platform DR2 then a port of the one that came out in 2006.

DravenX23

@h445: Thank you sir. That's exactly what I was thinking.

PeterPanDude

Although there will be a low zombie count (boo....), I still want to get this game. I love playing games like this on the Wii, it makes it more fun.

I will be getting it as soon as it is released! (But it shouldn't be called Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, if there's a low zombie count...) This sounds like fun, and Capcom better be right when they say it's a "infectiously humorous" game.

jParadox

Dumbing down is still dumbing down. People don't like challenges. They want everything set out for them. After you play the game long enough everything was easy. Just keep a stock of shotguns or chainsaws and the game was no problems. I saved everyone possible multiple times. People are just lazy.

DravenX23

Yes. Because one of the most capable developers around can't port their own damn game. They didn't make this decision with years and years of development experience at their disposal.

But random internet commenters! Now they, with their infinite experience in game design, know how to make good games.

It's just...such a shame that companies like Capcom don't listen to you omniscient ladies and gentlemen. Oh the things they'd learn!

P-Flute

@DravenX23: Also not being able to save anywhere is just too hard for the kids of today. Spoiled little bitches.

Some of us have kids and might need to switch to Mario Kart real fast, or just get the game that will make you wake up at 3AM to deal with a 7-year-old's nightmare off of your TV.

You don't have to save everywhere if you don't want to. Just because the game has features that make my life easier doesn't mean you have to give up your forced march between artificial save spots.

That said, I enjoy the fact they are trying to bring such a fun game over with some gameplay changes.

Penchinon

Haha, well guess what suckers.... I'm EXCITED FOR THIS GAME.

Robling

@Feba: @h445: Well said to you both. I predict we will see a "zombie throng" screen from Capcom if this bitching and moaning isn't local to Kotaku and if its actually possible to render them.

Logic test: We know there will be at least 10-odd zombies. We don't know that there cannot be more. Feel free to whine if its proven 10+ is the max (and justifiably so), though I have the feeling people will find something to complain about regardless.

Realistic looking games can be great, and even good looking, even on weak hardware. MGS, for instance. Blocky as hell, basically no facial definition, all in blocky rooms, mostly top down, and it looked WONDERFUL. And it's over a decade old now.

Feba

I think that people fail to see what this whining is about:

First of all, people are not whining because the game is going to a different system: If there was a feature-intact PS3 (Besides the usual "Wow, PS3 getting another centuries old 360 game!!" comments) or PC port announced, you wouldn't see so many people bitching.

To make thing's easier from now on I am going to refer to the Wii version as Dumbeddown Rising.

Most of the features that made Dead Rising so special won't be present in Dumbeddown Rising. And seriously people you can't tell me that having less zombies on the screen is NOT going to make a difference. One of the greatest things you could do in the original Dead Rising was to run around and stick lego heads on dozens of zombies and then take a photo of them walking into each other. Both things won't be possible in Dumbeddown Rising.

And also, I don't know how they are going to modify the mission system for Dumbeddown Rising, but to me the mission system in the original was something new and unique. Instead of hearing all the time "Hurry up or something bad is going to happen", you actually HAD to hurry up. I liked that because it gave the game a sense of urgency. And if you didn't care about making the missions, you could always just ignore them and instead go on and do whatever you want and later restart the game and go back to doing missions.

Now the final dilemma is that the "old" fans don't want Dumbeddown Rising to be succesful. Because if it is succesful it could lead to Dead Rising 2 being more like Dumbeddown Rising and less like Dead Rising. However, if Dumbeddown Rising bombs, it could also have certain negative effects on the sequel.

EvilFiek

@art_zombie: That's a valid point. And I more than respect the fact that you're willing to back off until we know how Capcom intends to address it. I've seen speedruns of RE4 where instead of fighting zombies, the player merely dodges and runs past the large majority of them. While running like a scared little girl should be a CHOICE, it shouldn't be a cakewalk.

It's definitely possible that Capcom chose such an old engine not only to save money producing another one, but because they could use the Wii's extra power (over the Gamecube that RE4 was originally built for) to power many more onscreen objects, mainly NPCs. They could also intend to simply redesign it as RE4: Dead Rising, which while it would be somewhat disappointing, could still be a quality title.

Feba

Just wow. Graphics that are "pretty good for a Wii game" is about the most CYA statement that I have seen from any company in a long time. If the Wii isn't capable of giving me outstanding mood, lighting, textures, models, etc. in 480p why bother putting anything on it that isn't either cutesy or anime? How about Lego zombies and characters, or maybe Mii zombies? Sometimes I am embarrassed that I ever bought a Wii in the first place.

bornonce

"taking advantage of the same proven technology that brought Resident Evil 4 so successfully to Wii."

That's because it was originally designed for the Game Cube in 2004 and then ported to all the other consoles a year later, and the Wii 3 years later. It better run a GC game when the Wii is just a glorified (miniaturized) Game Cube to begin with.

DevonTheDude

Considering what they had to work with, it looks like Capcom is doing an excellent job with the port. Despite the the jaggies and lower zombie count it looks to retain the same concept of the original, and that's the more then I thought it would be.

Oh, and the subtitle made me laugh out loud.

Thorax

maybe went overboard, but there is more than 10.

[www.famitsu.com]

basseman

saw a link with more zombies than 10, more like 30-50.

basseman

who actually said the wii version will have less zombies? i have seen pictures, there it looked somewhat like the 360 in zombie count. maybe a bit less. It was on a link that was on one of the earlier, dead rising news. Someone put a link too a site with newer pics. there was more than ten. maybe more like 30-50.

basseman

LMAO

Rammy

It seems like a lot of people think Dead Rising will be a really good port because RE4:wii was. Why is that? They didn't really have to do much work on that game, all they did was let you point at the screen. RE4 was already a great game, using the remote to aim just made it slightly better.

I don't think IR aiming will make much of a difference in Dead Rising. Guns are almost useless in that game, except for the shotgun, which you don't have to aim at all.

The amount of zombies is everything though. Some screenshots look alright in that respect, most of them look pretty scaled back, though. I wanna see some pics of the maintenance tunnels. If Chop til you Drop (awesome title) can get close to this -

@indiegeek: Normally, I'd be right there with you. But it's not like they're putting the same Dead Rising out on the Wii. Complaining about this is more like complaining that when Brazil aired on TV, they changed the ending to make it happy. There's some core gameplay stuff that's been shorn from the Wii version. It's not just that it's not as pretty.

Dirk Dorkelson

I just keep on liking this game and more!

Shiryu

Hmmmm, I must have missed something.

At what point did the people on here actually play the game?

It's just that... you know... a lot of people are making comments about things that they'd only really know having played it.

I mean, that's got to be the only explanation for what they're saying. They must somehow KNOW that there's only a maximum of 10 zombies on there. After all, surely they wouldn't be stupid enough to see a screen with 10 zombies and automatically declare that to be the maximum number? Surely they'd have to actually prove that somehow?

Oh wait... it's the Internet. Sorry. I forgot proof wasn't needed here. My bad.

Here's what annoys me. Some people just want to moan and bitch and whine without ever giving anything a chance. And just now it seems that the Wii is the main target.

No hardcore games come out for the Wii = Everyone moans about it and claims that developers are more interested in graphics.

A hardcore game's announced for the Wii = Everyone moans about the graphics.

Get a fucking grip guys, seriously. How's about actually waiting to see the game even MOVING before instantly dismissing and ignoring it then going on to moan again about Wii Music is the only big game on Wii?

Twoscoopz

The thing is, i seem to remember a section of Res 4 on wii that had the main character trapped in a house with some mexican dude while zombies poured into the house.

So i dont know what this is about spontanious loading on the dead rising port.

I'm sure they know how to make them come into the mall reasonably, even if only 10-20 zombies are surrounding you at one time.

i have no idea what all this crying is for.

nintendo and capcom together is known to harbor good results.

neverkilled

Yeah I dont think there will be any spontaneous loading but I think you wont be able to do much if there is like 7-8 zombies on screen. So I think that while you are fighting the 7-8 outside, most shops will jus tbe placemats with paper-thin detail and will kind of fade into the background.

Madness

"Utilizes the same engine as Resident Evil 4 Wii edition"

Is this some kind of a joke? Your trying to tout that you are using a game engine that was developed nearly 4-5 years ago?? The engine for the wii version was nearly identical as the one for RE4 which was released in early 05 but was developed since 03-04.

Madness

@Madness: I remember RE4 GCN slowing down during the fight with mendez with all of the flames. This did not happen with the Wii version.

Hopefully they have improved the engine a bit -- but you must admit, it is a good engine. Even if it is untouched, I am sure that it can be pushed further than they did with RE4 with the additional hardware power that the Wii provides. Even if the Wii is merely twice as powerful as the GCN, they can do far more than RE4 did with some effort.

If there is one company who can do it, it is CAPCOM. These guys know what they are doing.

Ok why does everyone say 10 zombies? that isnt hordes. Capcom didnt say 10 zombies, capcom didnt say anthing about changing the camera. I love how everyone just jumps to conclusion and then it becomes fact. We haven't seen the game in motion either. They said HORDES which means MANY MANY ZOMBIES

IT's simple. The Dead Rising project on the Wii serves the same purpose as the 360 version. Testing grounds for the systems capabilities and more so, the Wii's MotionPlus feature. They don't want to jump into unknown territory with a big name title. Like...Resident Evil

i would rather they make "Dead Rising Ex+ Alpha Redux" on teh 360 instead.

This seems like a more adventure esque version of Dead Rising. IMO.

Okay, I am not optimistic about this title. Because that is an awesome title.

@Twoscoopz:
Simple logic should be enough to determine it. The Wii is about as powerful as two Snes's taped together. ^_^ I kid. A little...

They should've named it, Dead Rising: Not as good as the Xbox360 version, amiright!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Why didn't they just go with the first draft: Awesome Rising: Big Chop in little Diner? =P
