Dead Rising Wii Edition

[Rottedfreak]

http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/890/890700p1.html The in game shots have obviously been scaled back to work on the Wii console, for instance, the most obvious sacrifice is the shadows and no doubt high levels of detail and lighting, but god damn imagine playing this game with motion controls! I love the 360 version but find the controls a bit fiddly for instance when I go to slam a zombies head in the ground, I end up pushing it across a room or lifting it up, stuff like that may be easier to pull off with simple gestures on the remote.

Just give me Dead Rising 2, Capcom. Pleeease??

Just give me Dead Rising 2, Capcom. Pleeease?? Agree'd. I don't see how a Wii version of DR will be nearly as good.

Agree'd. I don't see how a Wii version of DR will be nearly as good. Again Mr Pizz it's the 'fun' aspect. The thought of playing DR on a Wiimote makes me juice up, as it happens. Look at what it did for Resident Evil 4's gameplay.

we should start a petition for a new capcom game... it must have the resident evil (original) mood and suspense, sheer number of zombies (and all the ways to dispose of them) from dead rising, the open-world gameplay of grand theft auto, and the addiction-power of herion.

already given my 2 cents here. http://racooncitytimes.blogspot.com/...-you-know.html

According to other news on this, the scans say it will be played over the shoulder RE4 style (Capcom did say it would be a new take) all thanks to both previous Wii Resident Evil games exceeding sales expectations. Capcom are working hard on making it as visually close to the 360 version as possible though the shots thus far show the textures have been cut down and the shadows reduced to make the high numbers of zombies possible, also the colombian coffee house seems to have lost it's windows. The new content is going to be new guns and a new psychopath. I reckon this is intended to be a companion game to the 360 Dead Rising.

I bet a bunch of stupid soccer moms and media watch ninnies get all pissed off about it, cos the Wii isn't allowed to be adult at any times at all, so they'll probably think back to how Manhunt 2 never happened on the Wii and then just bring out the same banners and placards and replace the name. I too, want a Dead Rising 2 on Xbox, with improved controls, and more freedom to explore ... and the ability to clear parts out completely and block and barricade areas off, and so on ... and set it in a whole town ... yeah.

Stupid Gamespot put up a news piece on Dead Rising Wii Edition being in Japan only - on the basis that they translated "NA/EU release TO BE DETERMINED' now they have everyone blabbing on it's not coming out here. That sites really gone down the crapper.

I will most likely get this for the Wii, but I was honestly bored with it when I borrowed my brother's xbox a few months back. I bet the Wii controls help out the fun factor a bit.

The 360 controls were a tad fiddly and on first play the game is a bit overwhelming, but there's some further news from 1up, both old and new gamers should get something out of this game. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168849

Just from what ive been reading on other forums, nothing official like, but the wii is really going to struggle with large numbers of zombies on screen at once apparently. I Wonder how their going to get around that, becuase it would just plain suck if they reduced the number of Z's

n shadows, lower textures res., no breakable windows ect. ect.

not to piss on anyone's fire here, but this wii version sounds ****
