Dead Rising

5 cutscenes... 4 'exits' and the time over one.

bee one is interesting...

[Concept]

Spoilerish though. I didn't know anything about the 'cause' until that scene as I'd been staying away from media which would reveal anything.

[Rossco]

I've gotta try that tonight.

when you say gas bottle did you mean cooking oil?

When i read gas bottle, i thought of the canisters that have been shown in certain vids - that can be shot at! i cant wait to do this

Oops, yeh thats what I meant, the cooking oil!

I was dissapointed that it didnt explode when I shot it so I'm glad gas canisters are in the game and do explode.


Think I'll stick it on for one more go, purposely avoiding the cutscenes so I can watch them fresh in the game.

Have played this several times and am mighty impressed. It is a good old fashioned fun game. Graphically it is also great.

Loved using the sub machine gun to mow down those Zombies, a great stress reliever!

Sub machine gun?? Where?

Sub machine gun?? Where?

As you go up the first set of stairs you see (glass panels) stop at the first area,

->Open Spoiler<-

there is a blue awning style thing. Jump to it and pull yourself up (may take a few tries) and follow it all along toward where you started the game, it's sat on the end one.

I've been playing the full game all afternoon and having a lot of fun, but... there are very few save points, no auto saves, and no check points...

Which means when you die you can go back a very long way indeed.

Bit of an annoyance to say the least.

[spagmasterswift]

Was afraid of that - I guess they want to make the survival bit important but dang

Apart from mega man are there many other capcom ref's in there maybe a resi one or two

I came unstuck when I stumbled into a boss battle and had 1 block of health left and just a few bullets. The boss battles are very long and tough so I stood no chance and lost the last 2 hours of play.

Plus there's the whole issues of continuing the game - I've read that when you die you can either continue but loose your powered up abilities for Frank, or keep all the abilities and skill increases but have start from the very beggining again.

Also if you fail a case for whatever reason, it breaks the story mode and you can only do side missions until the three days are up.

And there's only one save game per gamertag.

Bleeders and Kotatsu should be able to confirm all this, but I think that's how it works?

Sounds very challenging tbh.

[spagmasterswift]

Sounds more challenging than VJ >_< Bring it on

[Concept]

Sounds challenging, but when you put it like that Spatial, also very flawed.

I'm reserving my full judgement till I get to try it, but I gather it's been people's biggest gripe with the game so far.
