Although it was only one level (and a short one at that), Dead Rising looks like it will offer hours of gory entertainment. You'll be able to take on missions, as well, if you can find the survivors scattered about the levels. For instance, one man asked us to help find his wife, who had been abducted and taken into a butcher shop. All of the missions have a time limit, but there's no word on whether you can go back and try again if you fail the first time. Hopefully, this will keep the action from getting repetitive, since you can only kill so many zombies before you begin to get bored. Wait a minute, what am I saying? How could we ever get sick of slaying the undead?

An entire mall...filled with zombies...and realistically stocked stores...

...gamespy's impressions leave me with this impression...

Dead Rising is a tiny sandbox filled with blood! Ultimate replayability! LOVE IT.

 

[Osorio]

ONLINE CO-OP CAPCOM!

 

[Lo-Volt]

Sounds great, actually...

 

[Reilly]

State of Emergency started off the same way

 

[krypt0nian]

Blood filled sandbox!

NEXT GEN!

 

[Amir0x]

even your thread titles are uniformly terrible

but yeah, Dead Rising is gonna be awesome

 

[teepo]

oh god i can't wait

 

[op_ivy]

i hope the golfing action seen in the trailer is in gameplay

 

[Goreomedy]

State of Emergency started off the same way

How dare you!

This game looks better and better as time goes on. I demand they release this demo.

seriously, it has everything it needs to be good

zombies
gore
sandbox
good visuals

And also Capcom is usually pretty competent! This game will rock.

 

[raYne]

i hope the golfing action seen in the trailer is in gameplay

:lol Yeah, they better keep that. There wasn't even a good reason given as to why they were thinking about taking it out to begin with.

Where's my demo MS?!

 

[Agent X]

Screw Daxter

You didn't say that.

TELL ME YOU DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT.

 

[Matlock]

You didn't say that.

TELL ME YOU DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT.

I did, baby! I DID.

5/2/06 is gonna be sweet! So much zombie action!

...!!!

(!!!)

I hope they display this at the Capcom con in Feb...I'll track down a music store and beat a zombie to death with an electric guitar if possible.

 

[Jerkface]

I wanna know more about the driving etc. and the areas outside the shopping centre. We've only seen little snippets of those elements.

 

[ThirstyFly]

This game seriously needs co-op.

Or an online mode where one person is the hero character and other players are random zombies in the crowd, so you never know who the dumb AI zombies or the human-controlled zombies are.

 

[sprsk]

the last "zombies in a mall" game i played was the oneechanbara 2, im not very hopeful for this new genre.

 

[Reilly]

How dare you!

It's going to have a ton of delivery missions and you know it!

 

[Mike Works]

someone post the screenshot with the awesome blood, DO IT

edit: NO WAIT I'LL DO IT

YES!

 

[raYne]

Eh? There's driving? Unless you meant some kind of riding mower, I doubt it.

As for your second request, I'm pretty sure you can't leave the mall. You can go outside, yes, but not leave (until the end of course) afaik...

driving?

OMG, that would rock sooo fucking hard. imagines plowing through 100's of zombies in an 80's camaro through the mall parking lot/parking garage

 

[Mike Works]

i'm sorry but all you mickey mouse SRPG (i don't even know what that IS) loving fags can GIT OUT of this thread because it fucking ROCKS because it's DEAD RISING and dead rising is so FUCKING AWESOME it's still the best thread ever even though it's affiliated with Matlock

THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS

 

[Goreomedy]

I prefer my Zombies shitting jets of blood:

 

[Deg]

Best blood ever.

Capcom rock.

 

[krypt0nian]

Bloody. Sandbox.

 

[Mrbob]

Capcom love the 360.

 

[op_ivy]

no umbrella

 

[jj984jj]

Why Capcom WHY?!??? Why not PS3/360?

 

[krypt0nian]

Why Capcom WHY?!??? Why not PS3/360?

Stop wondering and buy a 360.

 

[Tech Nine]

Why Capcom WHY?!??? Why not PS3/360?

Hey.That's what I'm saying about DMC4 :'(

 

[Mrbob]

This is Capcom we are talking about here. This game will probably make it to the PS3 eventually.

 

[Lambtron]

Game of the fucking YEAR.

 

[Bebpo]

The older gameplay videos looked terribly repetitive with stupid stuff like the same being bitten animation every 10 secs, but since Capcom delayed it until Spring I'm hopefully they will actually make the game work.

50% of Capcom titles are crap
25% are good but not awesome (see Onimusha)
25% are OMFG GOTY (see DMC3/RE4/VJ)

We'll see where this falls

 

[op_ivy]

 

[C- Warrior]

Game looks awesome. Although, so did Dino Crisis 3, Demento, Viewtiful Joe Red Hot Rumble, Glass Rose, Beatdown, Devil May Cry 2;Deisal Jean Forte', Resident Evil (side games), Buraiden, Megaman X7, and Chaos Legion.

Only Mikami (RE1, REmake, RE4), Itsuno (Rival Schools, Street Fighter III, SF: Alpha Series, Powerstone, Powerstone 2, Capcom vs SNK 1/2, Marvel vs. Capcom 1/2, Devil May Cry 3) and Kamiya (RE2, Devil May Cry 1, Viewtiful Joe 1, Okami) games from Capcom turn out any decent. Look at Capcom's recent last gen history, and you'll know this to be true.

Disregard my above post, Bebpo beat me to it.

Oh sorry, we're on a Dead Rising hype train here...

ahem.....Bloody. Sandbox.

 

[BioFan]

AWESOME SHOT!

 

[C- Warrior]

That's well and good, but I have my doubts for this game. That's all. When Capcom makes a good game it's "OH MY FUCKIN GOD" type of good, everything else just sucks.

 

[Amir0x]

there's zombies, C-Warrior. A massive zombie outbreak and you have to fight your way through HUNDREDS of zombies at once! How can this go wrong, hm? You tell me!

 

[Goreomedy]

Not just hundreds. The final game will be able to render a thousand zombies at once, in even better quality than what we've seen up to this point. A THOUSAND. That's, like, 10 times as much!

 

[op_ivy]

maybe he didnt know about the john deere license.

 

[Tech Nine]

And DMC4 will come to the 360 right?

Nah I really doubt it. I don't remember Capcom porting Dino crisis 3 or steel battalion to ps2 do you.Inafune did say he was making exclusive content for each PS3 and 360.

revolution am cry

 

[C- Warrior]

Zombies, Pigeons, fuck--chicks with dicks, I don't care dude, it doesn't matter what you're beating up.

The user interface of such ass whooping being done is still X,X,X,X,X,X,X,X,X.

This game would be interesting on Revolution, but with a traditional controller, it falls back to a mere "mash button go through crowd" spiel like so many other games. In essence, making it like a State of Emergency.

Sure, there is obviously one easy way to break through redundancy, and that's of course amping the difficulty significantly higher than SoE (doing so, forces the player to seek cover, find restorative items, and allocate which weapons to use and at what situation, thus breaking the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX for 10 hours routine.

But that's a lot of ifs, and I (as well as Bebpo) have pretty much stated, Capcom tends to mess up a lot, on the rare occasion they don't, they create genre masterpieces...

I'm really itching to buy a 360 and if anyone wants Dead Rising to kickass it'd be me, so I have a valid reason to get a 360, and thus consequently enjoy the other impressive titles the system has to offer. But I'm just getting too strong of a SoE vibe, and zombies, and high-res doesn't still change the core user interface mechanic.

 

[Amir0x]

maybe he didnt know about the john deere license.

oh my god. listen to this, C- Warrior! A title with this sort of thing, there's no way it can suck. Thousands of Zombies at once (a fuckin' invasion, so it's all sandbox-ey), John Deere License, sploogin' blood out of zombie flesh. If someone can actually screw that up, they deserve nothing but scorn! scorn!

Edit: oh no no no, you better not join the 'omg, if it was on revo' crowd!

I will say, SoE like gameplay or not, if this a fully functional onlie-team survival mode, consider me fuckin sold. I'll just playing this online the whole damn time

 

[Reilly]

I just watched the video and its basically State of Emergecy with a graphic upgrade. How anyone can get excited over this is beyond me.

 

[Goreomedy]

Watch some developer interviews. It's a helluva lot more ambitious than your typical beat em up(SOE).

 

[Matix]

Sounds fucking hot, but after reading this.....

I'm kinda confused/worried " ?!

 

[sangreal]

Man, I wish Microsoft would give us some sort of release schedule for marketplace demos
