Dead Rising Discussion

[DonMarco]

Cool, I really need to preorder this game, I can't wait for it

I preordered mine weeks back specifically for the free shirt.

[THATinkjar]

Yay! There is a new preview over on GameSpot! I've quoted below the concluding paragraph, which sums up their time spent with near-final code...

What's clear to us at this point is that, regardless that the story missions are now mandatory, Dead Rising is a game that promises to have plenty of replay value. Our experiences with the game thus far have never been the same twice, and regardless of whether you're in the middle of a mission or not, you still have the freedom to just play around and have fun with zombies if you prefer. We've thoroughly enjoyed our time with Dead Rising, and we look forward to bringing you a full review closer to the game's release.

Man, I really hope that this lives up to our expectations. Sure, something solid would suffice, but I think we're all hoping for something spectacular. It also sounds like Capcom have made some last minute changes to the way the game plays.

Check it out here.

Just to let ya'll know, the demo is out on Marketplace

[EricRyan34]

Yeah just played the crap out of the demo. very very fun

[Lothars]

it's great I really like it

it's definitly a must buy for me

the demo looks like just a small part of the game, very interesting to say the least but I do enjoy it immense

great weapons, nothing like putting teddy bear heads on the zombies.

I hope there is a game shop in the mall, filled with Retro Capcom goodness.

or better still an arcade with playable, OLD capcom, goodies.

ha you think you got it bad. I just finished downloading the demo and then i HAD to go to work.

[MarkMan]

OMG this game is too fun. Servbot costume and servbot masks hahahahah.

Sledgehammer owns with the powered up attack.

Ended up killing 200!

Sounds like I should get a 360 just for this game.....?

[Princess-Isabela]

Dead Rising will totally rocks, but the demo was sooooo short, whenever you'll enter certain part of the mall and you see loading screen, all you've gotta see is the short cutscene and you're backed up to the main title, which extremely sucks.
also before I played this demo I thought we'll have sorta funny, hillarious action packed game filled with zombies, and we sure got that - but its more serious than I thought it would be, the atmosphere is sorta eerie(this weird relaxing music playing in the background), so the nature of the game is much darker than one could expect - I'm very impressed with the game and I will get it the very first day.

I did! AND A HIGH DEFINITION TV! 32"! Just for THIS GAME!

This game cost me $1,653.57.



Oh, and the $10 a month to rent the HD DVR Comcast box. Oh, and $14.99 for a PS2 Component cable, $9.99 for a universal S-Video cable for my PS2 and Cube. (Not going to spend a bundle on a Component cable for my Cube this close to the Wii.)

Yes. This game is expensive and well worth it. (Since it also prepared me for the future. If not for this game I'd probably still have an SDTV for another two years. Missing out on so much!)

Was it worth it? Well, David Letterman, Conan O'brien, Earl Hickey and the Office say yes.

So bottom line, if you can get access to a 360 that already has the demo, play it. Then decide. But yes, you should get one just for this game.

[aaronpetrosky]

That's awesome jasoco nice set up there. I wonder if this game will sell out? heck, I don't even have a 360 yet...

[Nesmaster]

Tried the demo, it's pretty cool game but I'm still undecided on a purchase.... more likely than not, though.

[MarkMan]

There is so much hidden stuff in the demo, I'm really looking for what the final game will offer.

My army of servbots will own the world lol.

If I see you betraying Dead Rising, and playing any other game on this set-up, I'll come after you with a big stick! You have been warned!

[Juganawt]

the nature of the game is much darker than one could expect - I'm very impressed with the game and I will get it the very first day.

I particularly LOVE the darkness of it. That eery background elevator music especially makes it all the more hilarious when you change into a 10 year old boy's shorts, a horses head helmet, throw a pie in a zombie's face, then take a picture.

This is the most fun I've had on a game since.... well.....ever really, and it's just a demo! Roll on September (damn stupid delay for us in the UK)

[THATinkjar]

Unless the game is region-free...?

[Darren870]

I hope there are lots of really cool achievments, like for taking certain pictures, finding certain weapons, using items in a certain way.

Just would make the game even more fun then it is.

Some guy from another msg board said this is State of Emergency done right.
