Capcom at least had the right idea in radically reworking the game for Wii, rather than attempting to down-port it. They just completely half-assed it.

I don't think they reworked it.

I think they stripped down the game until it could run.

I've played this game it's not that bad. Besides what do you expect when the original game's concept grows old in a few hours. It's like getting mad at the SNES port of Primal Rage. Why bother? Neither are all that great to begin with.

Guessing you didn't actually play the original game, OR your just baiting.

Yeah, there is no way someone could dislike Dead Rising. I mean it's not like it had frustrating controls, boring escort missions, and fetch quests. You experience the fundamentals of the game in just the first few hours. The rest is fluff. How do you expect a downgraded port to improve this formula? Like I said, it's fun for a few hours. It gets tedious after a while.

If you found the first one to get old in just a couple of hours, what made you try this version?

And I found the original one to be extremely fun to play. I never got bored of it, really.

Yea the fact that your calling the entire upgrade system, new weapons, and the crazy fun boss fights "fluff", makes me think it just rubbed you the wrong way. Your opinion is yours, but there was a lot to that game.

I may be on that. I loved RE4, and RE4 Wii even more. Dead Rising Wii seems like a fun RE4 Total Conversion (in the old quake terms). I'll be picking it up tomorrow.
Click to expand...
The problem is, the low number of on screen enemies worked in RE4 due to the way they reacted (they were faster and more aggressive). Dead Rising focuses on classic zombies that shamble about. I think this would essentially ruin the RE4 gameplay mechanics and is why Chop Til' You Drop probably won't be all that fun.

I really don't know why. It's just so damn funny. People say well written games with clever dialogue are funny, but this is like a parody of RE4 and Dead Rising in one. It's like Capcom designed it this way on purpose if only for the laughs. I'm still hoping that the shooting resembles RE4 so I can find some actual enjoyment from that.

Do you start with all your moves?

you can get food, ammo and money.. (don't know what you can buy with that yet

ok i can confirm now u do NOT start w/ all ur moves

instead u earn money n buy books from the weapon store. so far i got 2 books. 1 book teaches u the german suplex (shoot zombie's leg, when they kneel down, go behind them press A) and the other book teaches u the lightsaber combo

So what new features and game modes did Capacom add to this game? I own the original 360 game and played and beaten it like 4 different times. When capcom made Re4 on the PS2 they added "Seperate Ways" + costume and weapons. Looking at the video it looks like the gameplay is changed I see a"Countdown timer" + the guns seem actually usefull in this version too

Again from the previous page

Alrite, I beat the game. I don't know if there are multiple endings but this one sorta wrap things up.

I did not end up doing all the missions. some missions are secret missions that need to be unlocked (i guess by getting good grades? I got mostly A's and B's and my final game ending grade was a B) so i did not rescue all the survivors.

i did not get all weapons/costumes/books. i am missing a lot of stuff and im not sure why. maybe they are not available in your first playthrough? if you want to know what i missed see the spoiler below

Overall I would give the game a 8 out of 10. it's very fun, it's VERY MUCH like resident evil 4. therefore, dont expect a free roam type of game. it is pretty much linear again jsut like RE4. it's basically 1 mission followed by another (with secret missions like i mentioned) and in between there are story events.

****End game unlockable SPOILER****

1) load your finished file and start a new game with all weapons, books, money, experienced, etc carried over. awesome. also for clearing the game i got a strong machine gun and some special forces shoes. i cleared with a B, so maybe A and S gives you even better stuff?

2) Quest Mode. basically short funny missions, i dont know how many are there i think i played about 15 and then even more opened up. i see so many costumes and items in here that i cant get in story mode, such as the hockey mask, convict uniform, wrestling brief, items such as pizza, books that let you do the gut rip move,increase punching power, etc etc

3) after you finish about 5 quests in Quest mode, you unlock another secret called Sniper mode. basically another quest mode with all sniper missions. very fun, i played about 10 stages.

i am not sure if u get anything new if you finish all quests. i will try but i am willing to bet there will be some ridiculously difficult quests with 5 or 6 stars difficulty (so far the highest one i have unlcoked is 3 stars)

So how the hell do you earn $$? Is it like Resident Evil 4 were when you kill a zombie he sqawns money,ammo or food? What about the bookstores do they still have books for upgrades? Did he say anything about "Overtime Mode" being in this version and do you still fight Brock?:D


Tenbatsu are you getting the game today if so I want to read your imrpession of it?I'm still on the fence especially since I played the original to much

Videos show red and blue stuff dropped by the zombies you kill, so apparently it's exactly the same as RE4. For the books, read the post above yours.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
When can we expect the reviews from media outlets to come in? Isn't it usually a pretty bad sign when they aren't up the day before or the same day?

The control scheme still has me optimistic, though, which is kind of amazing.

I've got to admit, as much as they've butchered the main game the quest mode they've added sounds pretty funky. Its the kind of thing that would work really well with DRs set up.

Hearing that this is more of a RE4 TC than a simple port of the original has renewed my hope. I'll hopefully get my hands on a copy within the next week, we'll see how it goes =0

It still looks really good for a Wii game. I mean having played all of the original on 360, I still get the feeling this is Dead Rising. Now its got sorta different game mechanics though so its going to be alot of fun going through it again. The aiming felt awesome... but then so did RE4. So thats a given.

Really though, some Wii owners are going to be pleasantly surprised.:D

It actually does look pretty good. Got mine too. Looks better than Disaster at least, a fairly similar looking game.

If I had never played Dead Rising, I'd think this game was awesome. As it stands, I do think it's good for what it is, but it's a completely different game (obviously).

Will have detailed impressions in the morning.

I'm hearing some nice things about the game, glad to see others tossing in their impressions, the good and the bad, as well. I have a friend who imported the game, and I'm looking forward to playing it this weekend.

I am tempted by this game... On one hand, I've never played the original version so I don't really know what I will be missing. On the other hand, I've seen the difference between versions visually and... well, they chopped a lot it looks like.

I don't have a 360, so this is my only option to play DR... but I have a sneaking suspicion that before DR2 hits on PS3 and etc, Capcom MAY announce a port of the 360 version to the PS3, once they have capitalized on the sales of the Wii version as much as they think they can.

I own RE4 on 3 formats, (GC, PS2 and Wii) and absolutely loved the Wii version most of all. The gameplay with the Wii functionality is sublime. I'm hoping that maybe the Wii version of DR will have that same feel of awesome control, so even if a PS3 port of the original is announced, this one will still have merit to exist.

Depending on price, I may pick this up this week... and impressions of others, of course.

From the sounds of it, I think you would still enjoy this version. Especailly since you loved the way RE4 plays because this game plays very similar. You can always play the PS3 port (if one is ever made) when it comes out. Even though this game is played differently then original, I fell they did so in a good way. Playing off what works with the Wii and what doesn't. Also at 39.99 its a fairly good deal.

My only complaints so far are the aliasing (though that was a given) and it is just a tad weird how you how to hit both A and Z to use doors, etc. Though I can get used to that. *edit* ohh and the zombie pop-up is a tad annoying as well.

Things I disagree that nobody probably cares about:
  • The story is satire. Its awesome actually.
  • Mutiple save points works for 'the casual audience', but it should not be part of the DR sequels.
  • There was noting wrong with Otis phoning you up. The problem was that you couldn't do shit to defend yourself and if you were hit you'd have to listen to it all over again.

Wow the guy that reviewed it. Honestly. Sounded very *edit*pompous . Considering the story is the same as it was on 360. This review, at least the written review was rather...shitty imo.

D. Hat follows his own rules, dawg. It seems like he'd have a lot of problems with the original, actually. :lol

While trolling this game was fun and easy, I'll give it a rent after I'm spent from MadWorld. Also, whoever said this looked better than Disaster, I demand further evidence!

EDIT: Thanks for the all the links... I guess I suck at finding my way around the IGN website.

I can't say for sure if it looks better but so far they seem pretty close. Having played through Disaster, I need to get further in DR WII to see.

Yeah, probably no point. I just want to bitch at the IGN reviewer for missing the entire point of the story.
While the premise of the game is great, the story is…well, it's one of the worst stories I've ever encountered in videogames. The dialogue is wretched, and the delivery of these digital actors is lifeless and wooden. Have the writers at Capcom really not grown since the original Resident Evil? The story ends up trying to be a social commentary on our American lifestyle, but it will just have you rolling your eyes. If Dead Rising presented itself as campy, that would be a different story. But it appears to be trying to take itself seriously. Players, however, will be unable to.
Click to expand...
Theres alot of shit wrong here. Ignoring the fact that hes calling the story the worst thing ever, just for dramatic effect, lets just establish that the dialogue isn't wretch, Its actually pretty neat and straight to the point. There is nothign wrong with the VA, which is equally awesome. Comparing it to the RE is just another dramatic effect thing, obviously the statement itself is a dud.

Then he complains about zombie parrots dropping grenades when they die. Holy shit, its a fricking vidyagame!
