I bought the latest issue of ONM on Friday and, as well as getting a full pack of Mario themed playing cards
there was a few pages on Dead Rising.
Some useful info:
-There will, apparantly, be "over 100 zombies on screen at any one time" or at least, thats the goal Capcom are gong for with the Wii version.
-There will be a new save feature that allows you to have multiple saves instead of the originals single save.
-The game will be split into episodes to make distinguishing between main missions and sub-missions easier.
- New enemies
- Overtime mode, an unlockable in the original, will be "packaged as standard" which I assume means it's unlocked from the start.
Obviously, there are a few Wii exclusive controls. ONM only detail 5 of them in the preview saying there are others but Capcoms keeping them under wraps. The motion controls are based on the ones found in RE4 on the Wii and the 5 shown in the magazine are:
- Shooting your gun works the same as it did in RE4:Wii Edition. Press the B trigger to aim and press A to fire.
- You swing the remote to use the baseball bat and you can charge it to have a maximum effect on crowds of zombies.
- You dodge attacks like in RE4:Wii by quickly moving the remote when the on-screen prompt appears.
- Shake the remote to knock zombies off of you.
- Make a downward slash motion to use the swords.
I don't know if things like the sword can only be swung downwards but it's the impression the magazine is giving. Although they could just be giving example of some of the remote controls because I wouldn't imagin you would be that restricted with a weapon. Surely we would get to swing the sword to the side like the bat.
That's pretty much all the Wii exclusive stuff mentioned in the preview. The rest was just the games backstory and so on.
