Dead Rising
 

From Capcom, this is another take on the zombie genre of games.


Basically, the premise is that you're trapped in a shopping mall/town as a freelance photographer. The town is infested by zombies, and you can use anything or everything against them (from ball bats to beating them with teddy bears). In certain parts of the game, you can either rescue civilians in trouble, or take pictures of them as they get maimed and eaten, netting points to use for special unlockables.

Anyone else really pumped about this? August 8. Can't wait. :love:

Yeah, looks cool athough as far as I know it's still Xbox360 only.

Interesting. Never really got into the survival/horror genre, tho.

They could do a Shawn of the Dead game in the mold of Dead Rising. Just replace the mall with a small section of London.

I really beileve it would be a great game to play but I don't have a 360 and I don't plan to ever have one, so unless it comes out on another console, I doubt I'll actually play it.

Lol, I looked at another vid of Dead Rising and at the end the guy has a golf club and he hit a golf ball and you see a zombie on a balconey fall over (after getting hit by the ball). Mildly amusing since I'm really tired but can't sleep.

nah, Ps3 seems a little too expensive and if I get anything it would be a Wii.
I can't really say I see anything interesting about 360. :p

Got to admit I orgionally wanted the Ps3 but since the prices is so over the top and at E3 I saw nothing on Ps3 that looked good. Wii, got me excited though. I'm starting to think the PSone and 2 where maybe just "Begginers Luck" for Sony.
The way they ripped of the Wii-mote motion thing was sad -_-

btw heres a random vid of Sony contradicting themselves at E3.

I agree. I downloaded the trailer off Xbox live the day it was there and love it. Looks like its a take of GTA with zombies. I read that its time based where you can go around getting everything in the game or you can wait at the start till help arrives.

Me! I'm not getting Dead Rising for a very good reason.

Don't own an XBox 360.

Gonna be 2sicc

Demo = Fantastic. That's all I know.


We get it out at Hastings Thursday, so I'll grab mine as soon as I can get into the back room and get it. :D

I played the Demo all day today

This game is really pushing me towards a 360, but the lack of other games is keeping me away :(

BTW Gamespot gave it 8.4/10.

Its kind of over the top on the killing, which is done well though. its like a lighter Resident evil with some seriously scary parts (The trailer with the war vet killing people)

And the weird-ass clown. That gave me the creeps.

<font color=goldenrod>The demo's fun...but gets boring once you've used everything possible.

The mall in the real game is fucking massive though and there are like 250+ weapons. gonna have to pick this game up some day</font> :heart:

Not gonna lie. It looks incredibly repetetive and boring after the first hour or so. From what I've seen in commercials and demo videos, it looks like they're just marketing it as a kill-fest with no real depth.

I kind of got that feeling too. I think it would be fun for a while but then I can just see it getting really boring and never touching it again. I probably won't get a 360 anytime soon so I probably won't ever get a chance to play this but it could be fun for a little.

Just got a 360 and I'll probably get this. Man, there are a shitload of the undead on screen at once.

Does it use the crappy RE control scheme?

Oh, nah (thankfully).

The ONLY problem I have is that each profile is only allotted ONE save file. So if you're just screwing around the mall cutting down zombies, and you miss a storyline case, the trail goes cold, and you can do NOTHING else, but restart the game. Interestingly enough, if this happens, you can restart WITH your current levels/moves/abilities intact.

But there's also an Overtime/Infinity mode. Overtime adds another day to the story, and Infinity is a survival mode to see how long you can last.

This game is bliss to me.

Sounds good. I'm probably getting a 360 when I have cash, so I'll doubtless check it out. Got some interviews coming up, and if I get a job, I'ma layaway a 360 and a couple of games. Not sure what yet, though.

Fucking awesome game

I think I pissed myself during one of the Cutscenes

Which one?

The Market Manager one

Escorting survivors is fucking frustrating. You give them weapons and they barely use them.

Game is not out here for a couple of weeks so I might hang off getting a 360 till then.

There are a shit load of promising games headed to the 360 in the next yea or so.

Lol, may be a spoiler,somehow. it's a funny comic anyway.
