Play Dead Rising as Mega Man

by Joystiq Staff on Aug 30th 2006 1:25PM

Here's yet another great reason to keep on keepin' on in Capcom's major 360 seller Dead Rising. After you've killed 60,000 zombies, the Mega Man suit becomes fully available, allowing players not only the ability to look absolutely awesome but also take advantage of the blue guy's Mega Buster.

Check out the video here. Now, excuse us while we get back to racking up a massive amount of zombie kills.

no you kill 56800 to get the mega blaster. then you have to kill at least 10 psychopaths. to get the tights. then you go to the movie theater to get the helmet.

What is this, mega man 1? Where's the charge shot?

It's 53,594 zombies for the Buster, 10 psychopaths for the Mega Man tights, and get the true ending without being knocked out for the boots. Getting these achievements unlocks those items.

You have to put in some serious time with the game to get that far, but it's a lot of fun. Right now I'm chasing some of the achievements I missed along the way.

zertoss be right. btw what does "not being knocked out" mean? is that not dieing?

The rain-coat psychos and the special forces guys have the ability to knock you out rather than outright kill you. You can escape from their clutches if you're captured, but it can be tough (especially Special Forces). If you avoid capture by either group, that counts for the "don't be knocked out" part.

Wow. It actually looks like the US Mega Man 2 box art...

Oh thanks PsyClerk. Yeah I was thinking it might be something like that. I was never knocked out by the SF but the raincoat guys did get me. I escaped though. But I didn't go see isabela right at the end so I got ending C anyways.

Actually the tid-bit is not entirely accurate.

The Real Mega Blaster (as the game calls it) is unlocked after the 54k kills.

The megaman boots and suit are unlocked with some other achievements that I forgot and the helmet is available to anyone in the movie theatre gift shop.

So bleh!

Well that shows me to read the other comments before replying...

#5, not being knocked out refers to...

***SPOILER***

... not being knocked out by the special forces, i.e. not getting to the helicopter mini-game.

That's a Megaman X costume, not Megaman. ;)

I got the Zombie Genocider achievement... but I can't find the mega buster. Where do I get it?

Robotic House Plant - You can get everything you need with just two playthroughs, thats what I did. My first time I got the A ending and killed 10 of the psychopaths. My second pass was spent in the underground tunnels creating lots and lots of road kill.

I only wish once you collected all the parts it would have unlocked some other attribute, like double jump or spread shot. Saving that for Dead Rising 2 I guess. :)

all I know is that I have the three books that give you 27x small chain saw.

its the cheapest thing in the game.

its so rigged and so fun.

Indeed it is, BPMΩ...
The little red head crystal is a dead give away for the X series.

Anyway... I'm thinking this is a whole lotta work for a game I considered renting a while back.

You guys think I can manage it if I simply rent it for a while?

the game lasts for 72 hours of game time. i think its about 6 -7 hours of "real" time. If you google "zombie genocide route" you should be able to find an efficient way to kill zombies. I have done it 4 times and it takes about 2-3 hours of driving in tunnels and killing zombies to get the appropriate number of kills for the blaster. you then have to finish the 72 hour game and save to get the mega blaster.

then when you play through the game with the blaster you can easily destroy every boss.

Now I might half to get Dead Rising, as if there wasn't already reason enough ;)

As 11 and 13 stated, that is NOT a Megaman costume, but a Megaman X costume. I was honestly surprised at the mistake. I expect more out of Joystiq.

Is this 60k total or 60k in one session?

jusmailuck, not only does the helmet design a tipoff for which Megaman it is, but the chest armor, too. X has it, Megaman doesn't.

I am a bit of a Megaman fan, so I notice these things easily. :D

Weird that you can kill so many zombies when the entire population of the town is only like 47 thou.

Oh shush, BPM. :P

I guess I have to get this game. A new thing discovered every week...

i agree with rTwelve..
This joystiq article might just be the last straw for me. I'm tired of hearing all the cool stuff in this game. I'm tired of just playing the demo. Walmart run tonight me thinks.

its not that cool guys. I rented the game and unlocked all that stuff, + got almost every achievment.

You can do everything you need and want to do in 1 rental in dead rising. No multiplayer = no purchase. Lets hope dead rising 2 comes out, has tons more too it (less clothing shops, more items) and features multiplayer (co-op and multiplay). Then it will recieve a purchase form me.

teknomusik - It will be in the room with Otis. BUT, you have to beat the game first. It has 300 shots that kill with one hit.

Nick - One session.

Last time I checked Megaman X was still Megaman. Megaman in refering to character from the series. So that was not a typo just a generalization.

Play Dead Rising as Mega Man in the Mega Man X Suit

That is a bit much for the title.

The population of the town is 53,594. It is mentioned in the opening cinema.

Hey, what do the boots do again, does it make every item unbreakable? and give you infinate ammo? and what do the tights do, i already have the blaster and im about to get the boots.

Hi I got nearly full mega man took me ages to get the boots tho...do the boots stop things breaking like wepons
I got them and things are still breaking.

Dead Rising is a must own. Great replayablity.
