Dead Rising

[PeteJ]

I find it hard to get Dynamite Deku out of my mind when playing this, which isnt a good thing at all. All it needs, is for you to have to rescue the single most irritating game character in history (ie that ginger presidents daughter in DDeku2), and the game would be complete! Its almost exactly the sodding same as that (how many different things can I hit this bad guy with..?). I do hope the game goes beyond this demo considerably, but dont I recall Capcom saying its a game thats meant to be played repeatedly - suggesting what we are seeing, is what we will get? Ho hum..

From what I've heard, it gets pretty intense when trying to rescue folk, something Dynamite Deku didn't have.

I see the similarities, but then Dead Rising has zombies.

I've seen loads of screens and videos of this game, but I'm still amazed how many characters are on screen at a time.

53000... surely thats impossible..?

If thats one of the achievements, Ill die lol

And most seem pretty unique, that is impressive.

It is indeed one of the 50 achievements. It's basically the population of the town!


3. Zombie Genocider - TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Defeat at least 53,594 zombies.

Damn, Im gonna need a lot of cooking oil..

You're going to need the chainsaw and lawnmower mate!

As a "fun romp" it's perfect, but that could quickly lead to a discussion about game prices - would be perfect if this came in at the ?30 RRP of some other 360 games.

Maybe it's because it offers so much, there's so much to use, that any limitation jumps out at you. Like Marcus said, why can't you jump in the shopping trolley? Interactive scenery would really add to the madness. And this would just be the best game ever if you could play it online

Then there are the silly little things that I noticed after my single game - like killing zombies by chucking cans of coke at them. I wanted them to get knocked down, dazed, just not dead.

Still looking forward to the release though, as a zombie nut I'm hoping to get a lot of fun out of it.

Again though, this is a demo and even in the reviews coming out it doesn't really go into depth about the game itself. We really STILL don't know how much depth there is to the game...

But you could be right, it offers SO much any limitation will stick out a bit.

Regarding the coke can thing, that's odd since I have thrown 30 CD's or Gems at a zombie and they've not died!

[FreelancePolice]

the cans of drink kill them quite easily. I've put the demo down now i don't want to overdo and be sick of the game mechanics before i even get the game!

[PeteJ]

Yeah I just tried the cans, they do seem over powered!

Just managed 350 kills, which was very entertaining I must say. I don't like the guns much, particularly when a melee weapon breaks and you suddenly switch - nearly always results in me getting attacked.

Can't wait for the final release.

Just got 487 kills, man this isn't getting boring! Now to wait a month

- Spit fire - I threw this instead of consuming.. Fying oil and orange mix, I think.

Drink it! The guys spit actually kills the zombies now, and does further too.

[El Leone]

how do you actually make him spit lolz? or does he do it by himself?

[MJ]

I mixed the condiment with orange juice for Spitfire.

The toy Laser Sword doesn't look like a Lightsaber, unless they are two different weapons. I wonder if they've had to change it since the earlier footage.

[dc-arena]

To make Frank spit, unequip your weapon (UP on d-pad) and pull 'R' trigger, then press X

De-equip your weapon (I think you do that on the D-Pad).
