For the second in our I ‘Heart’ Capcom competition series, we had a copy of Dead Rising: Chop ‘Till You Drop for Wii up for grabs. Let’s find out who’ll soon be driving over zombies with a lawnmower…
Today we’ve got a new Capcom game to give away. So if you want to win Resident Evil 5, enter over here. But if you want to win a copy of Dead Rising: Chop ‘Till You Drop on Wii then this is the place to do it. Just tell us why you ‘heart’ Capcom in the comments.
These post cards have been arriving at my house over the past week or so. All of them advertise Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop. My favourite is the Teamwork one. So classic. So true.
Um. Okay. Yeah. New Dead Rising Chop ‘Til You Drop screens show just how the game makes good use of the Nintendo Wii’s waggle controls. We posted it here for posterity. Enjoy!
People are being mean to Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop. So Capcom Product Marketing Manager Colin Ferris dons his flame suit and does his best to offer the game much needed defence.
From images we’ve seen, Dead Rising for the Wii looks light in the brain-eating zombie department. But that doesn’t mean it skimps on other things.
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
First, it uses the word “till” instead of the abbreviation ’til. Technically, both are correct, but when I see “till” I think “plowing fields.” So… you’ve got to chop up your zombies before you plow them?
Even though graphically Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop for the Wii won’t be up to par with it’s 2 year old Xbox 360 counterpart, the game will still be a blast. There is something disturbingly satisfying about lopping off a zombies head with a Wii mote. To fuel your thirst, here’s some zombie mutilating gameplay from the title.
By now, you’re likely well aware that Dead Rising is coming to Nintendo’s Wii platform. It’s coming this summer with a new “improved” save system, a lower zombie count and quite possibly the best name ever in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop which has “pretty good for a Wii game” graphics is touted as “taking advantage of the same proven technology that brought Resident Evil 4 so successfully to Wii”. Whether that simply means a Wii Remote driven control scheme with zombie killing accuracy or something else more technical, we’re not sure. We don’t know computers.
The full press release with all the details is after this.
