Guys, it really isn't fair to be giving a copy of Dead Rising away without an HDTV to go with it.

Jesus Christ enough with the HD jokes, I have a 23 inch SDTV, I play in widescreen I can read everything in the game fine except for the DATE on the watch. My friend also has a regular TV and has never had a problem with any of the text in the game thus far. I swear to god the biggest pussies in the world come to this site to bitch about irrelevant shit. I almost didn't buy the game because I was so convinced I wouldnt be able to read. I wonder how many people missed out on this awesome game because of YOUR BITCHING.

Cool contest tho.

"I wonder how many people missed out on this awesome game because of YOUR BITCHING."

You must have superhuman vision then, because the game looked like ass on my 27" WEGA. Over component cables, no less. Of course, it *did* finally give me the incentive necessary to go out and buy an HDTV :P

There are some real concerns with this game and its small text size. Just because you and one of your buddies haven't experienced it doesn't mean that others everyone else hasn't either. Grow up.

neil

Wouldn't it be a spoiler to tell you whether or not it's a spoiler? ... but no, the T-virus is a reference to Capcom's OTHER zombie game, Resident Evil.

The two franchises, to the best of my knowledge, are mutually exclusive. No worries.

@11: Enzo, component (separate R-G-B cables) is better than S-video, which has lower signal bandwidth. The "hierarchy" of analog TV signal paths is (low to high):

RF (like you used on your Atari)
Composite
S-Video
Component
VGA

Some might argue that component gives an even better picture than VGA since it's easier to shield the individual color channels to reduce crosstalk; I think it's probably a pretty even match.

I had a Gamecube hooked up by composite, then switched over to component on my 32" SDTV. The definition of shapes and text didn't change much, but the colors were really different -- it was like Dorothy landing in Oz. Out of nowhere everything was brighter: the plants looked like the greens of a real lawn; little Pikmin were vibrant. I hadn't really gotten what "videophiles" meant when the used the term "vibrant" before, but I didn't need it explained once I saw the difference.

That said, the difference between the lowest and highest "level" isn't nearly so great as the difference between 480i (via any connection) and, say, 720p on a high-def set. But if you're stuck with low-def (like I was until quite recently), a component hookup is the way to get the absolute best picture out of it.
