Unlike Capcom some companies don't like to harm sales of their games before they are out. If they annouced it for PS3 right now it might not sell as well on 360 (not saying it would) so why not wait until after the 360 one is released and then annouce the PS3 version.wiiboxstation said:

I was actually a bit perplexed by this dilemma, as they couldn't be more different games. Maybe which one to buy first, but not either or.
Anyways, Dead Rising is going to be out in like days, looking out at you from behind your local EBGames representative, saying "But, don't you like killing zombies? And watching desperate humans shoot other desperate humans over cans of soup? And clowns juggling chainsaws?"
And a voice in your head will say "But, but the reviews said it was a short game."
And Dead Rising will reply, "You could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Who cares about the length of a game."
And you will have a very important decision to make.

Shallow in terms of combat. You pick shit up, you kill shit with it. It's a quick and dirty slaughterfest with tons of variety in what you choose to fight with, but it's clear it's not breaking new ground here. It's a beat 'em up at heart, just with zombies and next-gen flair

I'm extremely hyped for Dead Rising, but what did you expect?High 9s? The game is extremely shallow and the enemies have no sort of A.I whatsoever. I expect it to play like State of Emergency.BenjaminBirdie said:

Yes, but Okami is so Zelda! I love Zelda! And to no avail, $10 less than Dead Rising... I wish I had a job.BenjaminBirdie said:I was actually a bit perplexed by this dilemma, as they couldn't be more different games. Maybe which one to buy first, but not either or.

matrene said:7.0-8.0 scroes for Dead rising is bad now. That's about what I expected for this type of game.
Were people expecting 9's and 10's for this game or something?
Exactly. For a beat-em-up those are good scores. The game is what you make it. If you want to just do the missions and play the game straight you can or if you want to spend time goofing off and trying different things you can do that too. It sounds like the kind of game where you get out what you put into it.
EGM's reviews are usually too short to be worthwhile, but not on Chromehounds.
The average score is 70%. EGM's is 63%. They were almost right on the average. If you like Chromehounds, fine...but EGM's process seems to match up standardly with the rest of teh intarweb.
Dead Rising is going to be a fun little romp, but it was sooooo overblown around here as being something it wasn't. Just enjoy it for what it is and not expect something huge.

Yes you are, but its more fun to overreact or underreact to the point of feigning ignorance but if I had an Xbox360, i'll be getting Dead Rising no matter what.

It doesn't matter what weapon you have, the zombies just stand there waiting to be killed. There are variety in the weapons, but there is no depth at all in the actual fighting mechanics.Core407 said:

No, you're not rationalizing. Dead Rising will be great - that's why I wish games could more easily be $39.99 in next-gen, because nobody would even question it! The game is all about the holy shit moments - blowing 50 zombies into the air with a tank, taking out a legion of the undead with a skateboard, unleashing hell in a megaman outfit, the first time you use the excavator. This is full of 'wow' moments, which depending on your mileage is more than worth the price of admission.
I mean, shit, I'd be getting it if I owned a 360.

Those Chromehounds reviews are total shit. Almost all of 'em were given well before the online community developed. It doesn't matter if EGM's reviews matched up with the others....they're all freakin' wrong.

How can someone's opinion be wrong? If a game needs a huge online community to be good, doesn't that say something about the game? Do you really think Chromehounds will still have that community when Gears of War comes out? A reviewer has to review what is right in front of him.

Shouldn't we at least wait until we get to read the reviews themselves? Besides, the other two UG'n'G scores were 7.5 and 6.0. Not as bad, but hardly GOTY material.
Amir0x said:
but tons of games are like that. in fact practically all 3rd person shooters are. and Dead Rising not only has the standard game weapons like pistols, SMGs, etc but 500 other ones to add to the depth.
I don't see why people are so quick to write this game off when sites gave much love to earlier playtests.
