Geez it wasn't an insult, nor was it an insult aimed at you.
I was joking about how Capcom is going to make this work, since I don't see it happening. Which means we'll get a gimped port of a 2 year old game that isn't even that good to begin with.

Dead Rising for the 360 was pretty awesome. I have no idea how the wii handle so many enemies on screen at one time, but this awesome sounding none-the-less.
atleast other companies are giving us our core games.

The game won't be in HD, so that instantly allows Capcom to lower the visual quality of the characters a bit without it being noticeable. Furthermore, they could just lower the poly count in general and mask it with good textures... you know, the way it used to be done!

I wonder if Capcom will included the 360's post-release DLC? It seems that they were just keys to open certain lockers in the game, thus providing the character with more outfits to wear. Seems like a small enough addition that it very well could be included from the get go on the Wii.

Yay, ports?
Has it come to this? We're praising Capcom for porting even more games onto the Wii? Funderful. I don't even want RE5 ported since I'll likely have a PS3 by then. I don't want Capcom to un-HD the graphics and add Wii Remote support to a game built for another console. I want a new game, built for the Wii. A so-called hardcore game and NOT an f-ing spin-off. Better yet, something that makes use of MotionPlus. The Wii has sold too many units for:
1. Publishers to just port old games over and call it a day.
2. Wii owners to get excited by said ports.
I can't get excited over Dead Rising coming to Wii. I bought my brother a 360 and if I really wanted, I could get Dead Rising for less than $25. Lame-o.

We've been conditioned to expect less. The Wii normally gets last gen ports so this is actually better. And the sad truth is that if they gave us an original property they would make it a crappy spin-off. That's what they do.
For me I would be happy if the situation where a third party game is released for every console BUT the Wii disappeared. That's realistically the best to hope for. Nintendo designed too different a console for us to be getting all sorts of great exclusives. The Wii has last gen hardware and a weird controller so what's the appeal for a dev? They can't design something conventional because of the controller. So we're going to get g!mmicky spin-offs because the original series rely on a conventional controller. And unless they specifically have an idea for the remote why make a Wii game when the console has a big hardware restriction. Plus if it uses normal controls most of the userbae lacks the classic controller for it anyway.
So getting Resident Evil 5 would be a big deal to me because it's either that or dumb spin-off bullsh!t. Take the lesser of two evils and curse Nintendo for finding a way to be the market leader and yet still completely sabotage third party support.

Well, clearly, the controller isn't the problem if these games are getting ported. 3rd parties are figuring out some way to put these games on the Wii.

Going by the demo via trailers RE5 is basically RE4 with a bigger emphasis on coop and a fresh coat of paint.
Well the paint isn't that fresh. It's familiar grungy Hollywooded Africa locales with an emphasis on military firepower using stiff analog stick controls.
RE4 at least brought us some place different with some mystery to it, rather than sand & guns.

Well I read there was already going to be a restructuring of the story.
Hopefully, they will alleviate some of the difficulties with having a time limit to find special events and such. It is frustrating when you are doing something and then you get a message that states you must go some place else and complete an event to get 100% Meaning you must stop everything and go...and you may not even be ready for a boss battle or anything like that.

Here's a link to the article I think Spak was referring to. (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168849)
Highlights:
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. ... "This results in us being able to put a lot more story volume to the game."
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.)
"My brother is a casual gamer, but he's the sort of person who doesn't like it when the visuals are too intricate or elaborate -- he gets nervous about whether he's good enough to play it at all," [producer and director Minoru Nakai] noted. "That was a very novel surprise to hear that from him. Looking at it that way, I wonder if Wii users are a lot more forgiving about the visuals of the games they play.
Ouch to that last one.

I have to admit to the same thing too. I... died in the village in RE4 on the GC... and haven't had the courage to try replaying the Wii version of the game since. However, I gave RE4 Wii to my younger brother and he beat the game.

Dead Rising isn't that hard. I beat it on the 360 on my first or second try, and went back to get Zombie Genocider too. If they take out the photography from the game, then that's completely retarded, and takes away basically...half of the game. When you take pictures ir switches to 1st person view...I don't see how that wouldn't work with the "new" camera system. I thought this was a good idea at first, but when we read next week that it's at 90% (from 40 this week), then I'll just give up hope altogether.
As for RE4 - go back and play it again. In the village just get as much ammo as possible, then go in the little shed to the far right (from where you enter the village) and stay in there, killing people one at a time until the bell rings. Get in lots of kicks too, chances are you'll save a ton of ammo and kick a lot of heads off.
Title: Re: Dead Rising coming to Wii!
Post by: BeautifulShy on July 19, 2008, 02:52:47 PM
I can't remember is that area time based as well? If it is just grab all the ammo and evade as best as you can if a enemy is in front of you shoot him or her that will make a path and you can run through.
Here is what I do. I basically start on the left side and go around to the right making stops whenever is a new place I need to get into when I get to the place Brandogg is talking about after I leave there there is two paths one to the right and another to the left. DO NOT GO TO THE LEFT PATH there is a chainsaw manic up that path that wants to relieve you of your head!
Instead head right grab the items and when you reach a wooden box to the left of you there will be a villager to the right standing next to a cow get rid of the villager. If by this time the bell hasn't rung you have 4 choices. You can run into the shotgun house, you can go to the house across from it, You can stay outside and hit and run or you can go and do Brandoggs strategy.
If you decide to go to the shotgun house here is my strategy.You can go into the house where the door is open if you do this a chainsaw manic will come out of woodwork block off the lower floor first grab the items head up the stairs grab the shotgun get the items and go by the bed and wait. Get out your shotgun and blast at the maniac. Also try to get them to line up and let them get close and at last possible moment blast them.The closer they are when you use a shotgun the more damage it does.
When it gets to crowded make a path and jump out the window with the ladder. If at this point the chainsaw dude is loose head to the house right in front of you get the items there and if you feel they are getting too close block the door there is a metal door in there you can knife the lock. Head in grab the items and wait.
There are some things you can do go by the door and when you see the door shaking open the door forcefully or get your shotgun out aim at the door and blast them when they open it or use a grenade.Hopefully by this time the bell has rung. If not it is going to be a pain to get out use a flash or normal grenade, after you hear their cries of blindness or after the explosion run out of there and float like a butterfly sting like a bee.
Brandogg has a good idea for saving ammo. Here is mine shoot him in the face that will make him/her wince in pain then kick him/her that will put him on the ground and you can knife em.
My ammo conservation tip helps when there is 2 or less enemies. Brandogg's will work with lots afterwards you can throw a grenade or use your shotgun. Hope that Helped.:)

SAN MATEO, Calif. — July 21, 2008 — Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Dead Rising™: Chop Till You Drop is in development for the Wii™ home video game system. Based on the critically acclaimed Dead Rising™, which has sold in excess of one million units since its release in 2006, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is scheduled to hit store shelves this Winter.
Taking advantage of the same proven technology that brought Resident Evil® 4 so successfully to Wii, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop delivers a more immersive, intuitive and interactive experience as players use the Wii Remote to shoot, slash and bludgeon their way through a zombie infested shopping mall, fighting for survival.
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop follows the harrowing tale of Frank West, an overly zealous freelance journalist on a hunt for the scoop of a lifetime. In pursuit of a juicy lead, he makes his way to the small suburban town of Willamette only to find that it has become overrun by zombies. Frank escapes to the local shopping mall, thinking it will be a bastion of safety but it turns out to be anything but. It will be a true struggle to survive the endless stream of enemies, but players will have full reign of a realistic shopping centre and its varied stores offering an endless supply of real and makeshift weapons to fight off the flesh-hungry mob. If Frank is running low on health he can pay a visit to one of the many restaurants or cafes for a meal in order to restore his energy and continue the fight.
The game is split into a series of individual cases, all of which Frank must complete in order to gain vital information that will allow him to piece together the truth behind the horrendous epidemic. In addition to the cases, players will be faced with the dilemma of deciding the rescue priority of the residents of Wilamette who also sought sanctuary in the mall. Depending on the player’s skill, some may not be so fortunate as each rescue needs to be undertaken in a set time period, therefore players may need to delay completion of a case in order to save a fellow human.
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop’s infectious humor delivers some welcome relief from the incessant tide of zombies with players able to dress Frank up in a variety of comedic costumes and take on the undead hordes with a selection of improvised and sometimes highly ineffective weapons such as a toy sword or a football.
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop includes the following features: • Utilizes the same engine as Resident Evil 4 Wii edition. • New level of interaction – aim and fire guns, swing and throw weapons and shake off zombie attacks with added Wii Remote functionality • Huge environment – expansive indoor and outdoor areas of the mall provide a variety of different locations to explore • Improved save functionality allows for more seamless gameplay • Hoards of enemies on screen at once resulting in non-stop, pulse-pounding action • Anything in the mall is at Frank’s disposal • Grab environmental objects like umbrellas and benches to use as improvised weapons • Snatch items from different stores to use as weapons including golf clubs, lawnmowers, frying pans and more • Consume food and drink to revive health

Also I am happy that Capcom is fixing the save system.

The text problem is because Capcom made the 360 version HDTVs in mind so I highly doubt there will be a text issue with the Wii version since the 720 - 1080 resolutions on Wii is non-existent.

He was probably joking.
I'd consider picking this up at $30... there's no way I'm paying full price for a remake of a 2 year old game made uglier. I might as well get the original. I, like Silks, am waiting for Capcom and other 3rd parties to make some games built from the ground up on the Wii. At least Sega is trying.....

The mall itself wasn't designed with Wii in mind, so of course it's taking away resources that could've went into more zombies or more detailed models.
If everything looked like Silent Hill 1 there wouldn't be a problem

Yeah Factor 5 should do this port...oh wait, they hate the Wii now...or at least they did before it sold fifty bajillion systems.
Well after their PS3 game Lair ended up bombing very badly, it's no real surprise that they'd come back to Nintendo since they had good success with them. Not to mention Factor 5 is the company that's more then likely working on the Kid Icarus Wii game since that's who all the rumors have been saying for a while now.
I think we have to give Capcom credit for being one of two developers to push the GC hardware with RE4 (the other being Retro with MP and MP2).
Nintendo EAD 3 also pushed the Gamecube hardware with Twilight Princess. It's quite impressive how they got the game to look as good as it did considering the huge size of everything in the game. Also even more impressive that they got it all on 1 disc, considering the Gamecube disc could only hold 1.5GB of data.

Well we get the exclusive feature of a different title and less zombies on screen and no flash-photography item. we know that ;)
Nah I'm pretty sure we'll get extra stuff. We get the more dramatic camera angles and a cooler title. haha

Post by: Flames_of_chaos on July 26, 2008, 04:53:33 PM
From what I know Wii is getting a better save system a few extra bosses and I suppose a few new missions and the RE4 control scheme, Dpad handles inventory but the Wii version there is no photography.
Title: Re: Dead Rising coming to Wii!
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on August 05, 2008, 12:12:42 AM
Some new tid bits:
- Phototaking mode is gone. - RE4 camera - Motion controls for aiming, shooting, swinging, etc - The overarching time system is gone, instead story missions will be locked until you have completed a number of Otis submissions. There might still be time limits within missions, but it's not mentioned. - Developers goal is 100 zombies on screen at once.

100 Zombies at once sounds like a very solid goal. With the RE4 style camera they can easily "trick" you into thinking there are more on screen.

Title: Re: Dead Rising coming to Wii!
Post by: NWR_pap64 on August 19, 2008, 05:33:35 PM
I noticed a lot of stuff not present in the original 360 version.
The zombie poodle was actually Madonna, the dog that got the crazy old lady crazier and unleashed all hell. I played the original version to death (Heh...) and I never found Madonna.
The giant security cop was actually one of the psychopaths (the elephant lady who kept abusing prettier women) in zombie form. Either you get to battle them twice, once as a psycho, the other as a zombie, or if you miss the boss battle you encounter them as victims of the zombie invasion.
Finally, Adam, the infamous clown, is battling Frank on the rooftop. The original battle took place at night at the theme park within the mall. Either this is footage from the 72 hour mode or they retooled the whole storyline.
The gameplay looks to play faster and more fun and before. As much fun as it was to mow down hordes of zombies at times it was very slow, and aiming sucked balls. This sucked even more when escorting survivors.
This looks like you can easily defend yourself from zombies and easily dispose of them in a quick and fun manner.
Like S_B said, even if the game looks pretty crappy this looks like its worth playing again just to experience the new controls and the new story elements.
Consider me sold.

I just bought the 360 version for $20 on Amazon. I don't know if it's a universal price drop or not, but I couldn't pass it up at that price. So it'll be the 360 version for me unless I get hit in the head after I play it, then buy the Wii version at a later date due to memory loss.

Since you already bought the game here's what I recommend: Wait till a lot of people played through Dead Rising Wii and see what changes have been made, outside of controls.
Like I already mentioned it looks to have been updated with new bosses, story elements and enemies. If there are enough changes then DR Wii could be a whole different experience from the 360 version.
Here's what I predict: The 360 will be the prettiest version, while the Wii version will be the best playing version.
Call me crazy and biased, but I think that might be the case. The 360 version was great and loved every minute of it (enough to replay it several times), but there were some issues with the battle moves, aiming and mission structure. The Wii version could fix all of that and create a version that is not as pretty but plays better.
RE 4 Wii Edition proved it can be done.
Title: Re: Dead Rising coming to Wii!
Post by: Smash_Brother on August 21, 2008, 01:58:25 PM
If this version fixes it so you can save ALL the people in the mall, not just the ones time permits you to save, and gives you the RE4 control scheme, then this will be the definitive version, hands down, no questions asked.
The entire game could be stick figures and still be more fun to play than the 360 version at that point.

At least I only wasted $20 on this. I wasted $40 on the craptacular The World Ends with You. Thanks a lot Gamefly for never sending me the games that were on the top of my queue and for costing me $60 after I stopped your shitty service.

You do realize that you can play the game several times in case you missed any events, right?
You are only required to follow the main story, which is pretty easy to do because most of the boss fights are not required to complete the game.
Once you finish the main story, you can go back and complete the events and missions you missed the first time, getting each ending possible.
What you REALLY should watch out for are for the cult followers and the special agents that show up later on. Now they f*ck up your game greatly if they catch you.
The way I see it, even if there's a time limit you can play it anyway you want. Like I already said, you can either follow the story to its completion, or you can start a new game, get as many survivors as possible, fight all of the psychos or just wait till the third day to go back to the Helicopter pad.
Best of all, the progress you make on one game can be carried over to the new one so that you don't have to level up.
DR is one of those games that rewards players for their patience and dedication.
I say you should give it one last chance before saying it sucks. Its challenging but ain't impossible.

The game is effing awesome, but the port looks very watered down. It wasn't even a technically impressive game on the 360. The Wii version should look exactly like the 360 version, of course, only in 480p.

You realize TWEWY doesn't actually give you a time limit? The timer is purely for plot purposes.
Oh yeah, I know that. I just lumped that game in with Dead Rising, because they're both games I've bought in the last month that have underwhelmed me. And they're both games that Gamefly never sent me despite being #'s 2 & 3 on my game queue. (I also never got game #1.)

I can echo this sentiment. The zombie numbers bother me because it seems more like a playground with a few dummy tartgets and an overabundance of ammo rather than a dangerous survival sitation.

I actually thought there was too many Zombies in the first game...you felt constantly threatened and made me too anxious to play the game...yeah, the new game feels like there will be danger, but more save areas and more area to play the your Zombie friends instead of just being lunch.

The original Dead Rising wasn't a dangerous survival situation either. It was more of a playground.

At times I thought there were TOO MUCH zombies in the original. It got annoying when gathering survivors and they were too dumb to hang on and were grabbed by the zombies. During the Adam the Clown boss fight they got in the way.
The way I see it, the fewer zombie numbers allow for fluid gameplay.

From what the previews sound like Capcom adjusted the AI for the lower zombie numbers so now your escortees will run straight for the next zombie with laser-guided precision.

Just to give a different opinion. Perhaps these changes will be for the better...specially since many have already played the first, and this will give Dead Rising a different feel.
Basically, we are getting a very different game from the original, and everyone is complaining different is bad...well guess what perhaps different is actually good.
Look the Wii can't put as many Zombies on screen as possible, so how do make less Zombies more interesting? Make them smarter and faster...and we already know the Zombies will be faster in this games are people are reporting they can run and react, this is a good thing for the game to keep tension with less Zombies.
Higher focus on shooting, I don't see this anything but a positive. If you are going to be hunting Zombies you are going to want a firing weapon...but when you run out of bullets (and you will) Grab the nearest object around the mall to attack. We already know that Melee weapons are going to behave differently, like with the Bat able to do a home run swing. Perhaps the Melee weapons will all be tweaked to give that extra satisfaction when using.
Finally, the loss of the jump is perhaps for tighter controls and a bring the focus on the other elements.
I know everyone believes this game is going to turn into Resident Evil in a mall...but I still believe there will be enough to differentiate the 2 franchises and the overall feel of Dead Rising will still be within the game.

Three things displease me with the game.
1. For being reworked to use the RE4 engine, from what I've seen, it looks like they did an incredibly shoddy job.
2. For being a game that's about brain eating zombies, there's little to be worried about. The zombies are infantile.
3. I hate Capcom.

1. That's the worst excuse for a port ever. You might is well make a new game. I would actually prefer it.
2. Psychopaths don't look scary/tough either. I remember a video where a psychopath was push a shopping cart. The dude that was playing shot him in the face like 9 times with a sniper rifle.................from 15 feet away.
Title: Re: Dead Rising coming to Wii!
Post by: Spak-Spang on January 18, 2009, 11:52:48 PM
I always thought that Dead Rising was kinda odd for having 100s of Zombies you are trying to avoid because they are undead and trying to eat you...but the REAL thing to worry about was psychopaths...just seemed odd to me.
Let's judge the final game, when it is available, we don't know that psychopaths haven't been changed to be harder to beat and scarier...I just want to judge the game on its on merits, I am looking at it as part port and part new game and new experience.
I am actually glad that instead of just making it a watered down port (which it would have been with less Zombies and same gameplay) they are trying to tweak and change the game experience to better fit the Wii, and evolve the original game concept.
1)They are keeping the time limit idea, but tweaking it where time stops so you can experience the entire game without having to replay the game. This is just BETTER DESIGN. Yes the original was unique, but it kept you from experience the entire game without multiple plays and that is just artificial replay that is frustrating.
2)Less Zombies balanced by smart and faster Zombies. Yes, there were 100s of Zombies in the Xbox 360 version, but it sometimes hurt the control of the game, and just moving throughout the game was a hassle. I think this will give a good balance experience.
3)I enjoy shooting Zombies and if they are going to make the shooting engaging and enjoyable (more so than it was in the original) then adding additional focus with firing weapons may not be bad.
To me this will feel like a revisioning of the original game and not just a port.

Still a remake of a nearly 3 year old game. Can we please get some brand new games Capcom? I'd even take Angela Boobs McGee Miller in a RE4:WE styled game. She may not be my favorite RE character, but at least it'd be new, dammit!
I know Capcom is developing original titles on the Wii. I'm just saying that ports/remakes on the Wii are usually lose-lose for the console. If we support them, we get more ports/remakes. If we don't, we get nothing. Developers need to stop all the CTRL+C and CTRL+V on the Wii. It's bullsh*t. The Wii is market leader everywhere. It (we) deserve(s) more than recycled content.

I agree. While I do like the remakes, it needs to be balanced with new stuff as well. At least Sega is starting to do that with HOTD2/3 and now HOTD: O. But it is pretty silly to base future success on a port of an old game that most of the target audience more then likely played! What is most funny though is that Capcom has tested the market twice, with RE:4 and RE: UC and both games did extremely well.

To be honest with you guys, this version of Dead Rising actually looks like more fun. Maybe it was just me, but I thought the original was a pretty damn mediocre game.
In this version, they dropped picture taking since it was useless anyway in the last game, they reduced the zombie count (too many were on the screen in the last one anyway) and they axed the jumping. While this exclusion is disappointing, realistically, it won't alter gameplay in the least.
On the other hand, they made the entire game more linear, which should make the game more fun and interesting since, in the original, all of the side quests got really overwhelming and annoying, and they added Wii pointer support, RE style.
I predict this game will also be mediocre, but I'm guessing it should actually be more fun to play on the whole than the last one. The entire allure of grab lots of **** and kill lots of zombies dies in about an hour or two anyway, so given the core of the game is more focused now, I'm guessing the overall experience will be better.

Zombie Mall Bump!
On my spree of 360 demo downloads I checked this one out too. I liked it more than I thought I would. The combat is clunky and Frank walks like a club footed hunchback, but finding new weapons is fun. I may get this for the Wii, but probably at a discount
- Graphics are serviceable, I expect more muddy textures in the Wii version. - Inventory system is a little clunky - The dialog is horrible - The mission system seemed confusing.

The demo didn't exactly seem like brain surgery. I wonder how much it could be dumbed down.
It looks like you can level up the character which is a nice touch.
The combat, which is the main focus of the game, just isn't that good. They need to play some Dynasty Warriors to learn how to make a "combat vs. 100s of enemies" game.
Still I went back and played it three times. If I had to judge by demos, I would rate it higher than RE5.

Unless I am mistaken these things will be solved in the Wii version.
The producer said in an interview that the mission structure would be fixed and updated on the Wii version.
The new emphasis on weapons could solve this problem.

Some new info courtesy of Destructoid:
The game has ZOMBIE PARROTS THAT DROP GRENADES ON YOUR HEAD
There is also a New Game + mode, 20 odd sniper missions, 20 Quest modes, and everything is graded. You can't get all the good stuff without getting the good grades. The game reportedly takes about 10 hours to beat on the first go through on normal difficulty.
Also, from the sounds of it, the opening sequence where you take photos of zombie attacks in the city was take out. I've always know that photography was taken out of the game, but I was hoping that they'd leave it in that one sequence, because that was probably my favorite part of the original .

Quote
Technically, I've played the game for 56 minutes. In that time, I've killed 169 zombies, but have shot/stabbed/punched many more that that, but then had to run away before I could finish the kill(s) because I was totally surrounded.
I'm playing the game on Hard, and I haven't died yet, but have come close many times. Brad died on me once (right after the Carlos fight) which forced me to restart, but I re-spawned right from the point before Brad died, so it was no big deal (maybe set me back five minutes or so).
Quote
While playing, I rarely thought to myself "Wow, so this is what Dead Rising is like on the Wii..." because everything feels so different. Instead, I kept thinking "I wonder if this is what a remake of Resident Evil 2 would be like on the Wii?" So far, that's what this game resembles more than anything else. It's like RE2 in mall with RE4's control scheme.
For $40, that aint bad.
He also has a huge bullet point list of his general impressions that are quite interesting how Capcom changed it. Difficulty wise he said it's on par with RE4 Wii.

I am reading IGN's review. What surprised me is how hard they slammed the story. I understand it isn't the best ever, but it isn't THAT bad. If you followed the missions alongside the main story quests its quite compelling.
I remember when this game came out me, Smash_Brother and another friend stayed up till nearly 4:00 AM playing just to see what would happen next. The next day, when we were going to head out to play bowling nearly 6 to 7 of us refused to go till we saw the credits roll because we really wanted to see the ending.
So again, I don't understand what is IGN expecting from the game story wise.

I'm playing the game on Hard, and I haven't died yet, but have come close many times. Brad died on me once (right after the Carlos fight) which forced me to restart, but I re-spawned right from the point before Brad died, so it was no big deal (maybe set me back five minutes or so).

While playing, I rarely thought to myself "Wow, so this is what Dead Rising is like on the Wii..." because everything feels so different. Instead, I kept thinking "I wonder if this is what a remake of Resident Evil 2 would be like on the Wii?" So far, that's what this game resembles more than anything else. It's like RE2 in mall with RE4's control scheme.
For $40, that aint bad.
He also has a huge bullet point list of his general impressions that are quite interesting how Capcom changed it. Difficulty wise he said it's on par with RE4 Wii.
Very interesting impressions. I may actually have to buy this, it sounds like it is its own game in many ways.

Going back to the IGN review I was surprised. They rated it a 6.9, edging between "passable" and "decent". The only thing they slam are the game's story and graphics (funny enough, they rated the presentation slower than the graphics due to the storyline...). They liked everything else, including the new mission structure and save slots.
Also, on the review page they have a funny flash ad for the game. It asked gamers if they were sick to death of music, sports and cooking games on the Wii and offered Dead Rising as an alternative. What's ironic is that DR represents a trend gamers are "sick to death" of; ports.

Tried this yesterday.
Terrible and frequent (or terribly frequent) load times..........
Plays like Resident Evil 4 which is fine.... except this isn't Resident Evil. It's Dead Rising and it doesn't play like Dead Rising. Even if this was a brand new game and not a remake, that would still seem odd to me. Resident Evil is Resident Evil. Dead Rising is Dead Rising. They are two different series for a reason.
Still, the load times are mainly what killed it for me and why I'd never be able to rightly buy this game. I don't recall Resident Evil 4 having many load times, if any, and that was made specifically for last generation hardware so I'm curious why this game has so many.

I thought talk of D.og R.ectums wasn't allowed here.
It loads frequently because the Mall is too large and too dense (together with zombies) to fit in Wii's memory all at once. Each of RE4's rooms were neatly designed to fit the structures and the controlled number of enemies onto GameCube's memory. Whenever you crossed a loading zone, you received a black-out pause before the game loaded a new self-contained area. And let's face it, D.og R.ectum wasn't programmed by Production Studio 4.

See, I don't buy that. In the beginning of the game, going from one small room to another small room was interrupted by a loading screen. On top of that, Wii is still better hardware. I blame poor/lazy programming. It's not like Chop Till You Drop is taxing the hardware.

You all forgot the single most important thing about Dead Rising when it first debuted on the 360:
Hee Hee. I just borrowed Dead Rising 360 from a coworker. DEATH TO CAPCOM
But Capcom brought us Okami, you can't kill them yet. Make them give the rights for Okami to Platinum Games and then you can kill them. Then we could possibly get a sequel!
Some interesting quotes from other reviewers: Computer and Video Games - "Another example of a game that greatly underperforms on a perfectly capable console." 1UP - "Should veteran Dead Risers bother with this admirable, but limited port of the original? Not really. But should newcomers to the series give it a spin? Given the scarcity of genuine, old-school arcade content on the Wii (soon to be remedied by MadWorld), I'd say yes."
I find it interesting that Metacritic says a B+ is equal to 58 on the rating scale. Shouldn't a B+ come closer to 85 when converted to percentages? Somebody enter a number wrong? Interestingly that would make it the highest score for the game. I wonder how that would affect the average.

My quick impressions after only completing the first four story missions:
They use a lot of tricks to make it seem that there are more zombies than they can fit on the screen at a time:
Zombies fade into view as you approach them like the scenery in San Francisco Rush. Very odd since there's no fog in the mall.. just magically materializing zombies. And they also pop into existence when you look away. So when you've just got done clearing a path to lead some civvies through you'll turn around and the zombies you just slaughtered will all be back. And hungry.
Enemy AI is practically non-existent.. but it was so on the X360 as well.
"Waggle" control is problematic. I'm still trying to figure out how to use secondary weapons on stunned zombies, but that's definately part of the fun of the game: trying to kill zombies in different ways with everything you can pick up in the mall.
Cut scenes which on the 360 were realtime rendered are now all pre-rendered clips from the 360. This means that the level of detail in the character models is slightly higher during cut scenes, and you will always be seen wearing your initial leather jacket outfit instead of whatever other flashy duds you've grabbed in the meantime.
I am very much missing having the camera. Seems strange to play the part of a photo-journalist and never take any pictures.
There is no bounding box when aiming, so if you pause to shoot something and want to adjust your view you have to use the thumb stick to aim the camera, then aim with your cross-hair. (I.e. you cannot move the camera by pointing towards the edge of the screen, which is what I've become used to in Wii FPS.) Oh, and I had to go into options and flip the horizontal while aiming because I found myself constantly pointing the camera at the floor when I wanted to aim up.
Really - the development team should have spent some time playing Godfather: The Black Hand Edition. That's the gold standard of 3rd person Wii controls, and everybody could learn from it. It handles close combat in a visceral and fun way and gunfights in a seamless and simple way as well. Dead Rising just feels clunky and awkward. I'll keep playing in hopes it will prove me wrong. There's civilians to rescue and zombies to slaughter.. so many zombies to slaughter.

Sounds like I can just keep my 360 copy then loking at the above post.
Pity it would have been the kind of experience I want from the Wii at the minute.

I got frustrated and quit playing the 360 version. The gameplay really seemed to be counter-productive. They give you this huge sandbox full of zombies and a bunch of cool weapons and all you want to do is run around and kill zombies. Then, they rob you of this freedom by giving tons of timed missions, stupid AI escorts, and Otis calling you every 30 seconds while you're fighting for your life. It's almost like Capcom was saying "Like this cool game? WELL YOU CANT ENJOY IT, HERE HAVE SOME STRESS"

Go get Earth Defense Force, it doesn't care if you just use your allies as bait in a field of remote-detonated explosives you laid down. It doesn't care if you use the city you're protecting as target practice. All it cares about is that in the end you are alive and everything hostile is dead.

Earth Defense Force 2017? That game was awesome. I would probably put it in my top 10 360 games of all time. Just delicious giant bug killing....

EDF 2017 is one of my favorite games of all time. I would love a Wii sequel, because I believe the Wii could totally bring the best out of gameplay for that franchise.
