More Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop Screens
Posted by Adam Barenblat at 7:00 AM on October 11, 2008
Well, Crecente and crew over at TGS got their hands on the game yesterday and Luke was less than impressed. Amanda last week had pretty much the same reaction. So if it's true the game is nearly finished, without bashing it any further we have a pretty good idea of what to expect come time for release. Meanwhile we got some new screens of Dead Rising's appearance on the Wii direct from TGS. But hey, cheer up. One of the screens features the Megaman costume - how can you go wrong with that? sigh

This looks like they ported it to the original Playstation then the Wii.
That is, however, more than six zombies.

Ya know, would have been pretty awesome if instead of the Megaman X Custome, would had featured the Megaman Custome.
Given the hit that megaman 9 is, would have been pretty good

@Mister_Jack:
They chose Wii over PS3 (or rather than a direct port) because M$ helped Crapcom fund development on the original game.

It kinda looks like a slightly updated carmageddon 2. Come on they did a better job in RES4 there was quite a few zombies in that and looked better.
I was looking forward to this game, not any more. I want to buy an xbox 360 now

I noticed one thing. With the Wii's lower resolution the game is a lot brighter. I seriously can not see jack in that game when its night time in the game. Sorta dark in the day time too. Could be a projection TV issue.

The Mega Man costume reminds me of the classic MM I boxart-- intentional, maybe?
So, if the final version actually shows quite a good number of zombies onscreen at once, will heads explode? Will there be foaming-at-the-mouth ranting about how "sht sux wii waggle pstripple woodve ben bettar newais"?

I own dead rising, and I could care less for zombie poodles or pick and choose missions. The time based structure helped add a sense of urgency (When it wasn't cheating me out of the best ending) The whole reason I still pick up and play this game is so I can load up with the mini chainsaws and kill 1000+ zombies in my limited time.
Thanks, Capcom, for taking that part out. Really appriciate it.

@Ceezsa:
when it turns night go to the toy store in paradise plaza and pick up one of those red plastic toy swords. Leave it in the inventory, you dont have to equip it, and itll provide a red glow around you at night. It wont light up like day but you'll be able to see a bit further ahead of you. except it doesnt work in the dark part of the tunnels.

Ah Capcom, if a game is terrible delay it until it is good.
If it's never good, cancle it and save yourself from looking like fools.
Any money lost in the production of this horrible port will be made up by what you get in Monster Hunter 3.

Posted 10:05 AM 11/10/08
I feel like a game subtitled "Chop Till You Drop" should have a Zero costume instead of a Mega Man costume. Killing zombies with a faux Z-Saber would at least partially make up for the lack of on-screen zombies.

@Morphie:
Haha... you know it's good when I LOL out loud in real life.
Anyway, this game looks... bleh. This should have never come out for the Wii. Dead Rising is one of those games that just will not work on the Wii since it really needs that extra horsepower for it to be the same experience as it was on the 360.
Which reminds me... I need to buy a 360 :(

@PokeParadox: Are you suggesting staff members could ever fail at math? 360 and 3 are both greater than two "i"s, thus 12<6! You must be seeing things, since this is clearly a ripoff port with never more than six zombies.

Alright, everyone who has actually PLAYED the Wii version, raise their hands...
Even though this is a text posting, I could probably count about 5 or 6 of you who made it out to try this. And of those 5 or 6, you have played the original, correct? So, your opinion of this "new and improved" version is somewhat tainted, in my opinion. Wait until the game comes out, go rent it, and then tell me EXACTLY why it was bad. This is what did in Splinter Cell on the Wii. It was the first game I bought, full price 49.99, after I got my Wii. And it was awesome. Then the haters who demanded that all games play like on the PS360 slagged it brutally, and now no one will touch it because some reviewer couldn't handle aiming with the Wiimote.
Which brings me to the big Wii-hater issue: Stop hating on games you don't understand. Play them or don't. I hate football, but I don't tell people to avoid Madden 09 like the plague because I can't make it work the way I want it to.
If "Hardcore" means hating on games you don't understand, then "Hardcore" can go fuck itself.

@Xaif: Let's see, an xbox 360 tech demo, designed specifically to run on the 360.
A game made for the initially gamecube...
There's a quaint differance there. Dead Rising was not made for gamecube (or wii, which I assume are similar) hardware. RE4 was a port from the previous console, Dead Rising is an alabaster downgraded rag of muck.
+ It's only been created so people will enjoy waggling for about 15 minutes, like most Wii games.
I mean you complain, yet the recession means you aren't going to be buying it. AHAHAHAHAHAHA
