darksnowman Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I'm not gonna pretend I know what Dead Rising is and, tbh, from what I see here it doesn't immediately strike me as something I will be clambering to buy on ye olde day one. I'll keep up to date with the news developments and see how it progress though.

It's Resident Evil meets jackass in a mall where you can go into stores, grab items and do all kinds of stuff to the poor zombies that want to kill you. Plus a B-movie story and it's Capcom. Buy it.

flameboy Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I am delighted this coming...Have wanted this game for so long and wish I had a 360 purely for this.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Do want. Didnt we predict this would come a while back?
Zechs Merquise Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Wow, this could be a turning point. If CAPCOM pull this off, and if it sells well, we could see decent next gen ports... Instead of just PS2 ports the Wii can prove itself. This is a very important title.
mcj metroid Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Do want. Didnt we predict this would come a while back? yes i believe some people thought this was capcoms established franchise thing on wii rumur.. remember that
The-chosen-one Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 looks good aren't there larger images? or are there only those small scan images

Dante Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Lets see if Capcom can really push the wii to hold a xbox360 game just like Capcom did with N64 version of Re2 and the PS2 version of RE4.
Deathjam Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 You can use a lawnmower in an interesting way in this game (never played it but seen said activity) and it was inspired by a b-movie film, I think it was one of Jack Thompson's (LOTR director if I have got the name right) first movies but the name escapes me. Also had a priest who knew 'kung-fu' and 'kicked ass/butt for the lord'.
darkjak Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I really liked the game on the 360, and I think the Wii could run it fairly well. Just wonder if they'll add anything, 'cuz it would kick arse with a few more features.

Jack Thompson = Batshit insane lawyer who has tried (and failed) to ban every videogame on earth, ever. Peter Jackson = Awesome film director who made the LOTR trilogy,
pedrocasilva Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 1Up's info: What's New in Wii Dead RisingCapcom explains what sets the Wii release apart. We heard Wednesday that Dead Rising, one of the more memorable sandbox games on the Xbox 360, is coming to the Wii, but now we've got further details on the game translated directly from the Famitsu article that made the revelation. The new port, called Dead Rising: Zombie Sacrifice in Japan, will feature all manner of new features and expanded gameplay -- and as producer and director Minoru Nakai discussed with Weekly Famitsu magazine this week, it's all part of an effort to make the notoriously difficult game more appealing to a bigger userbase. As Nakai puts it, Zombie Sacrifice came about following the success of Resident Evil 4's Wii port, which sold over half a million copies in the U.S. despite being only slightly enhanced from the GameCube original. Nakai also saw it as an opportunity to attract a new audience to his game: "The 360 version was hard to get to grips with, in a good way. You died a lot in the beginning, and you have to raise your level if you want to proceed in the story. It's a really fun game if you can deal with that, but I think some of the experience was a little rough for newcomers. That's why we're adjusting the game to make it easier to play." As part of that effort, Dead Rising's controls and method of storytelling are both going to see some revisions. The basic game is unchanged, of course -- you play freelance journalist Frank West as he infiltrates a zombie-infested mall, helps out survivors, and fights hordes of the undead all by himself. 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. "In the Xbox 360 version, the story proceeded as time passed, and you'd get messages about how there are survivors at this or that location that you should check out," Nakai told Famitsu. "With this version, that aspect of the game is now treated as a series of submissions. As you advance through the main story, Otis will give you three or four submissions at once; when you finish those, the main scenario advances. This results in us being able to put a lot more story volume to the game." In addition to a revised story structure, the Wii version of Dead Rising will feature new enemies and items, as well as a behind-the-shoulder camera system modeled after Resident Evil 4's. (Nakai noted that Frank won't be able to take photographs of things in the Wii version because that system doesn't work very well with this new camera.) This being a Wii port, of course, brand-new motion controls are naturally in the offing -- you'll press directions on the control pad to switch between weapons instantly, use an onscreen reticule to target enemies when you're wielding a gun, and even shake the Wii-mote around to ward off zombies or swing blunt weapons. "Basically, you use the Nunchuk to move and the Wii-mote to perform actions," Nakai told Famitsu. "You can press the A button to attack with your subweapon, but you can also attack by swinging the Wii-mote. That makes the attack stronger but expands the backswing -- sort of like regular and heavy punches in a fighting game." Dead Rising: Zombie Sacrifice doesn't have a Japanese release date set yet, but development on the title is already well underway. Nakai's main goal here, is not only to retain what made gamers excited about the original, but also to open the game up to a new, broader audience. "Of course, we have lots of fans of the original version, so we're still aiming for a level of visuals that will keep them satisfied." Source: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168849
Dante Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Yes! Capcom taken away the annoying things in the game. Like you cant do much as Otis phones you but removing the camera, it would have work well with Photo Channel.

Also had a priest who knew 'kung-fu' and 'kicked ass/butt for the lord'. You mean the amazing film brain dead. The last good Peter Jackson film (well Heavenly Creatures was alright actually). I think this game is sounding great, a flawed gem of a game on the 360, if they can iron our the flaws and keep the gem then GREAT! And with the much superior motion controls, we may be onto a winner!!!
Tellyn Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 You mean the amazing film brain dead. The last good Peter Jackson film (well Heavenly Creatures was alright actually). What. WHAT?!
Guest Jordan Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 What the fuck? They're taking out the camera? WHERE WILL I GET MY EROTICA PICTURES FROM NOW?!
Maverick Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Resident evil 4 controls means this game could be dope hope there will be online (doubtful but hey) will mos def cop once released.
Deathjam Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Oh, I lol'd so fucking hard. Jack Thompson = Batshit insane lawyer who has tried (and failed) to ban every videogame on earth, ever. Peter Jackson = Awesome film director who made the LOTR trilogy, Oh crap . Thanks for actually understanding my crap. You mean the amazing film brain dead. The last good Peter Jackson film (well Heavenly Creatures was alright actually). I think this game is sounding great, a flawed gem of a game on the 360, if they can iron our the flaws and keep the gem then GREAT! And with the much superior motion controls, we may be onto a winner!!! Ah yeah THAT's the movie name. Twas on the tip of my tongue. Site Online No wai are those the graphics. Really didn't expect them to be so epic.
IMJ Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Colour me interested in this title. It seems to be using an enhanced version of the RE4 engine. Im fine with that. That engine was great. Still to this day, Im amazed how good RE4 looked like. The controls sounds very much like the Wii version of that game too, so that sounds good. The character models look really good in some (seem like cinematics), while the in-game ones are rather low quality. I hope they really put a lot of effort in this game. We need more devs to push the envelop.
Hellfire Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 The zombies look ridiculous, which is suppose is what they did in order to have loads of them on screen.
Shino Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Looks really good, shows what you get when they actually put some effort in it.
