@ShaggE: ah what a line!

So Resident Evil 4 Wii's excellent aiming system is called waggle as well? I thought it maybe used the pointer? whats that? it did?

"...And a shake of the nunchuk for a reload."

There was reloading in Dead Rising? Far as I remember, every gun just had a set number of bullets and disappeared when they were depleted.

@Handbanana37: @shaunomacx: I don't think it's bad :(
I was going to say a "shake and bake comment".

Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!

"I've covered Wiis, you know."

"I've covered Warios, you know."

"I've covered waggles, you know."

...

Okay, I'm done with the Ninty puns.

For now.

ShaggE

*Sigh* Epic Fail.

IceCold

*Gasp* Waggle is all it needed to sign me up. Capcom are mind readers... *sigh* Sarcasm will get me through this shit day at work. *hugs* I love you, sarcasm.

@Chadders: Hey hey hey! No bashing on Zack & Wiki allowed! >_<

Zaxxon Q Blaque

I wanna shake my chainsaw!

Shiryu

It's a real shame that this controller which can mimick almost any gesture has been reduced to shaking like an epileptic.

Why not various punching actions? Pushing actions?

Ryumeka

@Handbanana37: You would have preferred shake 'n' vac?

ThursdayNext

@Handbanana37: i hear ya, such a horrid comment!

shaunomacx

Aww, I'm disappointed, I was hoping you'd have to shake the nunchuck while walking to run faster.

Nirolak

Hmmm... im hyped for this one. I hope I don't get disapointed. I keep imagining Resident Evil 4 on a mall... and that isn't a bad thing at all.

Shiryu

I owned the original. I was really enjoyed with it, can't wait to try this one. First off its going to fix that stupid problem with me playing the game for a hour dying and realizing I didn't save it, and having to start the WHOLE THING over. Second its going to fix control issues. People always say "Not as much zombies? CRAP!" But really the only reason you needed THAT much zombies were because of the clunky controls. Who needs AIM when everything in a 360 degree radius is a hostile! Lastly, while using random items was fun, shooting is every important when it comes to zombie games, and Dead Rising more then lacked in that department. It was more effective to use a lipstick advertisement as a weapon then it was a gun. Thats saying something.

All and all this sounds like its taking the awesomness of RE4, and just saying "Have fun!" Sense its using the same engine, we may even get smarter zombies! I really can't wait to play this port, just another outing for my Wii :)

Suda51

now if only you could use the stove for more than heating up a frying pan for extra damage. Then you could REALLY shake and bake!

Armagetiton

With no co-op the "And I helped!" jokes will be sadly lacking.

Erwin

I actually lol'd at the shake and bake comment. Lame, but so lame it's actually funny :D Don't worry Luke it was good :P stand by your words!

Kapzer

I have no faith in Capcom's ability to program waggle after those infernal bell-ringing tasks in Zack & Wiki. >:(

@Arnold Rimmer's Garden Strimmer: confirmed even

@Zaxxon Q Blaque: Sorry, sorry, forgot... I'll be criticising Brawl next, if I'm not careful! Dear me!

I'd hope you could get some 1:1* movement with baseball bat swinging given this motion plus I've been hearing so much about.

*I have no idea what this means.

Chadders

With so few zombies onscreen, waggling to charge a weapon seems almost pointless.

Plus it'll be a huge distraction against some of the more energetic boss fights. You wanna avoid a chainsaw-wielding clown while trying to waggle up a melee weapon?

WittyUserName

The Wii is going to ruin what was once a great game.

OGheart

@Ryumeka: Not unless you've already got a Wii motion plus it can't.

ThursdayNext

That's another Wii game I won't be buying then.

Polysics_2004

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

+ Watch video

tee hee.

kazooie

@subnet6: WTF LESS OTIS?

OGheart

@Shiryu: Me too. My thoughts exactly. RE4 controls in a mall sounds crazy delicious.

@excel_excel: Luke loves the word waggle. Can you really blame him? It never gets old. For over 2 years now and yet it's funnier every time. Oh wait...

@OGheart: Sounds better to me. Better gun aiming, better save system, less otis? Yummy!

subnet6

I hate the "waggle" phrase enough as it is, but it's especially annoying when it's associated with the remote being used as a pointer. It's a different function.

Mezodon

@subnet6: Id also like to see Resident Evil 4 on an Airpot!

Hint, hint Capcom: Resident Evil Degeneration: The Game. Besides, you already have the Leon model and everything, you only need to make Claire.

Shiryu

@ThursdayNext:

Matter of fact? Yes.

Handbanana37

I'll probably be picking this up.

RE4 pointing with the Wii was perfect, this will be awesome as well.

As for calling the reload action waggle... I thought it was perfectly implemented on RE4 so if it's the same, then awesome.

nastysquared

@subnet6: Oh I agree, I get uncontrollable fits of laughter too! for 2 years! Never had once gotten old!...*cough*

excel_excel

@Shiryu:
I'd kind of rather have that on the Wii than RE5, to be honest.

That said, I know I'll be buying this. Dead Rising was great. Resident Evil 4 was fucking AWESOMEx10 on the Wii. So mixing the two together will hopefully yield something that is at least a minimum of SUPER AWESOME.

MR. FAP★FAP!

@supremesonic: Yeah, there wasn't any reloading. I guess it's a new feature or an error on Luke's part.

@Suda51: I had trouble with aiming at first but there's some setting you can change that will cause him to aim in the direction he was facing and not the direction the camera was facing. Once I changed this setting I had no prob (well except for the fact that you can't move while aiming).

Puhgete

@ThursdayNext: It doesn't have to be 1:1 punching.

Ryumeka

"Aside from that, you can shake to shake, and shake twice if you want to shake and bake."

LOL

Mobus

@Suda51: Your broken English saddens me.

I'm just waiting for wrist cramps and early arthritis.

@OGheart:

Sure, less Otis is good. I liked the mechanic of him telling you where the survivors are, but my understanding is that due to the alteration of the rescue system, he will be less "insistent", which can only be a good thing. Having that transponder ringing CONSTANTLY was incredibly annoying.

subnet6

"fuckin' thing sucks!"

FlapDangerous

Yeah, there was no reloading in the original. You just dropped the gun once it was empty. Not to mention that most of the guns were pretty much worthless once you got a few levels under your belt, as the attack boosts only worked on melee weapons. The guns were really only useful for taking down the psychos, and even then, once you got the mini chainsaws you could drop them in 4 to 5 swings.

Anyway, more Dead Rising 2, less of this.

The_Catalpa

Everything that made dead rising awesome is gone from the wii version it seems. All they did was dumb it way down technically and added RE4 controls. You would be better off playing RE4

Demonbird

@subnet6: I dont know exactly how to feel right now! Hearing Otis's cheerful voice echo through the radio was enough to get me through that damn mall.

OGheart

That zombie is goin for the full mount! Slip sideways and sink in the armbar!

.glib

@Suda51:

and like an immaculate corhus rains down a positive view on the wii version of the game.

Neverkilled: The complete series

@The_Catalpa: Ya don't get the picture do ya??

They need money to start working on DR2, hence the port to Wii.

@.glib: Quick Frank! Counter with Tomoe-Nage!

Just finished Siren bloodcurse, and that was rife with "zombie shake offs"

jabbathesmut

Why do people keep bringing up Resident Evil? Dead Rising was pretty dissimilar to RE, past or present; the only real similarities being zombies and Capcom. Dead Rising was a tongue-in-cheek almost arcade-esque brawler at its very core, with VERY limited gunplay.

I think this game would have been MUCH better suited mimicking all the various weapons. Bowling ball, baseball bat, golf club, etc. I think everything in Wii Sports is a weapon in that game; would've been great.

EComni

How do you kick though?

rob61920

Why did they turn Dead Rising into Resident Evil 4?
