Dude... the game is called Dead Rising: Zombie Sacrifice.

Good fucking job with reading the article you linked to Sir Justin McElroy. And a good job to the rest of you who only read article headlines.

lol wtf... read the Press Release and it does have it labeled Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. Maybe it has a different title in Japan and thus 1UP got a different title through translation of Famitsu. Dunno, but forgive the previous post.

Good job trying too hard to prove people wrong. If YOU actually read the article you would find it says "The new port, called Dead Rising: Zombie Sacrifice in Japan" IN JAPAN. It is called Zombie Sacrifice IN JAPAN. Not in Europe, not in America... IN JAPAN.

Thank you and goodnight.

Perhaps, asdf, this is the NEW title of the game, like this entry clearly states? Good job to you for reading this entry clearly. Oh the irony.

Am I the only one who thought of the framerate when a read the title?

Yup that's what I get for posting on a shitty site that doesn't allow you to edit or delete your own posts.

It's because the 360 version is set in the mall during crazy Christmas shoppers time and the Wii version is set right after Christmas when everybody is broke as hell. True story, yeah.

:D

You would think at least with the drop in # count they wouldn't downgrade the visual so much, but the screenshots make the game look really....choppy looking (no pun intended).

Already hating it before its even out... thats bad..

Hey, you may be cutting on this one but I read this in that article:

"The story structure is a bit different from the 360 version, however: Instead of having your janitor friend Otis continually tell you about things to investigate via your transceiver, the game will proceed in a more traditional, less time-sensitive fashion. "

That is full of win to me. The time element was a pisser - as way Otis driving me nuts all the time.

"Chop only 8-10 zombies at a time till you drop. lmao! This is dumb, the 360 version has a crapload of zombies on screen at once and that is what makes the game such a piece of shit."

There we go!

Have you seen the last two ports Capcom published for thw Wii? The one was as good as the original and the other was arguably better. I have faith in Capcom.

Yeah, but they went from less powerful systems to a more powerful system. This time, it's the other way around.

Without even playing it? I'm not sure that puts you in the position to call anyone else a knucklehead.

Lol.

When I said Knucklehead I didn't mean someone who was boneheaded or lacked thought. It means something completely different here in London.

What does it mean in London?

It means something totally disgusting, it's not for the pretty people. I should have substituted the word for something more genial - or not brought it up at all.

WTF are you talking about? Knucklehead means exactly the same thing here in London as it does everywhere else.

I don't know.

Different areas of London – and I suppose most places – talk differently. It probably depends on your social background and all that stuff. Like, for example, if you have friends, or you know people, in different areas of the city and you start talking about 'kut' and 'mustaches' you'd get a myriad of responses depending on their background, and what they might happen to get upto.

The same goes for the word 'head', or as I said, 'knucklehead'. It was a flippant, throwaway word. Yadda-yadda-yadda.

it means football head

lol I chuckled as well. Should just read as the (Zoom) option.

Except they cant add the parts that made it fantastic.

If you've played it on the 360 already there's little reason to buy this, but for those with just a Wii this is a chance to play a fantastic game that Capcom royally cocked-up when porting

/FTFY

I really don't understand the people who complain about the game's timed structure and want Dead Rising to be structured just like every other, "We'll spoonfeed you the plot as you lumber through the game" title.

Complaining about the game's timed nature/structure/save system is like complaining that there aren't enough robots in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, or enough boss battles in "Pac-Man: Championship Edition."

God, please just let those of us who are tired of every sandbox game having almost exactly the same mission/faction-based structure have just this one title that we can love for its innovation.

As I've said on this site and others, Dead Rising's structure are what made it one of my favorite games to begin with. It's so nice to have a game with a plot that's not simply scripted to the player's arrival. When people say, "Hurry up and do this!" you actually have to hurry, not stop off for some nachos, smash in some zombies' heads, take a detour to the other end of the mall and maybe wander over to the part of the mall that triggers the scripted event at some undetermined point in the future.

"Complaining about the game's timed nature / structure/ save system is like complaining that there aren't enough robots in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, or enough boss battles in "Pac-Man: Championship Edition."

You are absolutely correct. The only difference being that Dead Rising actually HAS a timed nature, 'structure', and save system where the bullshit you list is absent from the respective game.

Kaneda,

Let me rephrase then.

Complaining that Dead Rising needs "fixing" because of its structure/save system is akin to saying that Oblivion would be better with robots, or that Pac-Man: Championship Edition needs boss battles. It's not like every other sandbox game on the planet because it was a design choice. And there are a lot of us who love it for that reason.

I didn't expect the real thing, but I didn't expect 10 zombies either. The Wii could probably handle 20-25 at once, maybe up to 30 if they did disappearing corpses and cheaped the death animations.

I presume that it's next-gen exclusive to the 360.

"it's next-gen exclusive to the 360"

Whut u tryin tuh say there boa?!!

Ohhhh, thems fightin words JGoodwin!!

:P
