zombies, tigers, and showgirls, oh my! that dude on the bike in the green strikes me as a new iteration of andy, the photographer who you kept bumping into in DR1. this game looks better than i expected...very akin to the original, but with a good amount of new stuff thrown in....can't fucking wait, this is the only game on my radar at the moment.

Ok. This game looks insane!

Those sound great, a lot like the first game.

"you need to get back to the safe house and give katie her zombrex" ....the gameplay implications of that might not be good...

"you need to get back to the safe house and give katie her zombrex" ....the gameplay implications of that might not be good... How do you mean? Like, if you don't, you're fucked? Hopefully I'll just be able to ignore the story and just run around killing zombies for 72 hours - just like I did with Dead Rising (a good five times).

How do you mean? Like, if you don't, you're fucked? Hopefully I'll just be able to ignore the story and just run around killing zombies for 72 hours - just like I did with Dead Rising (a good five times). Theres a few possible implications, don't reach her and it's game over, don't reach her and she zombified and ate everyone in the safe room but the game continues but you get no mission's and only get a bad ending. This IS capcom remember? i mean i really, REALLY hope not but there's a possibility this could me more of an irritating exercise in time management than the original was. but i really hope not. -also, was i imagining it or was there some news of dr1 save integration or something? it'd be nice to have my level 50 crowd walker from the off.

Although it's another studio making the game, Capcom are just 'exec producers' really aren't they? They're not actually putting the game together this time - so hopefully there'll be less "oh fuck off" elements. I see what you mean - I dearly hope that this 'give Katie zombrex' thing doesn't turn into some arse-shafting moment. As for save game integration ... well you can integrate your progress from Case Zero, but I can't remember reading anything about DR1 integration - although I would really like that. I'm not Level 50, but I was ... actually I can't remember ... but that progress would be most welcome in DR2 from the-off.

i got to 50 because i could leave the paradise plaza bit a first and jsut ran around naturally levelling up. Then i realized i could just open the door to the outside grounds hey, it was a capcom game!, i assumed the outside was just an image on the glass or something and unenterable

There are no x amount of day survivor achievements... More the likely there is no survivor mode this time around.

I'm at work so i don't have the time but if someone would be so kind as to explain if the both the case zero and retail game are going to be like this? Thnx in advance.

Pre-order the PC version for $39.99 on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/45740/ Edit: Also a bit of news concerning Case Zero's length from Capcom's facebook: "Just so you know Case Zero is around 2-3 hours in length and much longer to max it out. The version at Comic Con is an unfinished build that lasts 25 minutes. IGN clocked Case Zero in 25 minutes? They wish!"
