Dead Rising
 

So, amid all this E3-osity, the game I want the most for the 360 remains Dead Rising, which is scheduled for release in August (Fuck, I thought it was being released in June until today.), so I must ask: Is this anybody else's dream game? Honestly, it sounds like Dawn of the Dead: The Game, with extra awesome!

I mean, hundreds of zombies in a mall, and you can use damn-near anything to kick the crap out of them. It's a game idea I've been hoping for for YEARS.

In fact, I was planning to pick up a 360 this month in anticipation of the game. I still might, but this game seems much, much, much better than any other game on the system (Except for Oblivion, but I have that for PC).

Anybody else interested in smashing zombie heads?

I saw a preview for this a looooooong time ago in GameInformer, and I was instantly interested. Once I saw the trailer on xbox live, I grabbed it, watched it, and have been eagerly awaiting this game. I'm assuming that anything within the mall can be used at your disposal. The trailer cracked my ass up when he was placing masks on the zombies and they were stumbling around helplessly.

Anyway, yeah, eagerly anticipating this game. Hopefully it will spend as much time in my 360 as Oblivion has!

I like how you can you can use a Fender bass as a weapon. :D

I'm looking forward to it too.

I saw this on the 360 Demo disc. You can use a stuffef bear as a weapon. You can also nick food from stands for health.

I saw the trailer for this game a while back and I just loved the fact that you could mow over zombie with the lawn mower.

Like someone said, it's like Dawn of the Dead Meet Shaun of the Dead, the game. Very awesome idea for a game.

Newest news from the latest Famitsu gamazine!

A new character was revealed and it seems he either plays a large role in the game or he is in fact another playable character. Also, a cult seems to be based around the origins of the zombie outbreak. And finally, a special tactical unit will be deployed in the Mall sometimes during the game to stop the zombie epidemic and they will kill anything or anyone that'll stand in their way.

Enjoy!

He looks like one of those annoying characters that You would want them to die..

I just hope it doesnt turn into a zombie version of dynasty warriors.

From what I read on PLay magazine, the game is sort of like State Of Emergency in the sense that you can just rip right thru it and be saved or you can stay around, save random people, take random pictures for points and take out zombies in style...

Comparing anything to State of Emergency is a very very bad thing, Furby.

I hope to high heaven this doesn't turn out like that or like Dynasty Warriors. I'd be extremely disappointed.

It looks fun enough, what with the myriad of weapons to choose from. It seems like you can use everything in the environment as a weapon. I even saw him throw fruit and boxes of cereal at the zombies.

I wonder what other kinds of little Capcom easter eggs will be in there, aside from the giant Servbot heads. It'd be awesome if you could get cool weapons like Dante's Alastor/Rebellion/Sparda, the Infinite Launcher from Resident Evil, Megaman's Buster, or even Ryu's Hadoken. I can't wait!

The fact that you can use MegaMan's Mega Buster and Servbot/Kobun heads sells the game for me :biggrin:

I see it as Capcom's apology for releasing Final Fight Streetwise. In essence, this game can be seen as a beat-em-up of sorts.

Though I know people are still bitching about the supposed short length of the game. The fact that you have literally thousands of zombies in your way, and you can beat the crap out of them will provide me with endless entertainment. And even moreso should the rumored online co-op become a reality.

Was it actually announced somewhere that the Mega Buster is a weapon? Because that was only speculation in my post. :/

WolfDemon, you can see the Mega Buster in the trailer that was released on Xbox live Marketplace (I'm fairly certain that it's the trailer that was released before E3, not the E3 trailer).

You see it being used on a crowd of zombies for about a split-second, but it's surely there (most likely as some kind of unlockable though).

Okay, so this is basically turning out to be the greatest game I've seen in a very long time. Gamespot updated with some new info and screens today, I had no idea you could wander about a whole heap of area outside. I was under the impression that you were just stuck in the mall for the whole game. GUESS NOT.

This game is gonna be sex, guys! SEX!!

Indeed. Kobun sex, which makes it all the more pleasurable.

Infernal, the more recent trailers (and the E3 trailer) did show various scenes out the reporter outside the mall (in courtyards, and the parking lot) kicking some zombie ass. It's been known for a while that you can venture outside the mall; though we don't exactly know the extent of how far outside the mall's limits we can explore.

I'm loving the motion blur and depth-of-field effects that are used in the game; subtle, but they add that extra level of realism.

Praying that Capcom will shell out a demo soon. But then again, if they're taking eons porting Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting over, then Dead Rising might be out of the question :edgartpg:

I love how it keeps a little counter of how many zombies you kill. High score speed runs comin liek wut.

Comes out in a week guys, so get your pre-orders ready.

Words cannot describe the hotness that Dead Rising looks to be!

The new EXTENDED TV SPOT just showcased a move I haven't seen before!! You can punch a Zombie in the stomach and literally rip out its guts!!!! O_O

In other news, I'll be able to play the full Retail version tonight. ;-P

Dude you have got to get back to us and let us know how the full version turned out. I know that Gamespot was bitching about constant loading of areas and cinematics but, it's Gamespot who bitches about everything and it's not the final retail build.

P.S.
At the end of the extended trailer it sais that a demo is coming to the marketplace, has anyone heard when this'll be?

GODAMMIT!!!

Grrr....all is fucked! I have a 10% of playing it, only it's this Thursday. Argh. It's coming out next week, so it's not too bad, but just thinking about the fact that I might've been playing it RIGHT NOW is just too.....ARGHHH!

Anyhoo, yeah, a demo's coming but no word on a date.

According to Joystiq, a demo for Dead Rising should be hitting the marketplace within the next 24 hours. The reason why no one knows exactly is probably because it has to go through the live testing before coming to marketplace, which is an infamously long process (not that it needs to be).

Fuck yeah!

I hope it gets posted before the game hits the stores, because anytime after that defeats the purpose for me.

Yeah, same here. I see the purpose for the majority of people who don't buy every game right when it comes out, but I wouldn't qualify for that group. And really I have a painstaken craving to play this game RIGHT NOW!!!
