That sounds hilarious GG. See that's what's so great about the game because all that crazy stuff can happen. You only tried the mission 4 times? Shit, from the sound of it I thought you had tried like 40 times. While a game shouldn't be overly difficult it shouldn't be something you breeze through on one life, one try, first time.

I find those elements random and frustrating. I wouldn't mind if they had better restart points. If I die then put me at the bank. Or if I make it into the subway, have me restart in the subway etc. But doing all that for 20 minutes and then putting me in a street with no cars and 4 police SWAT vans and 3 police cars bearing down on you and saying:

FIND A FOUR DOOR CAR TO ESCAPE

Is an absolute piss take to me. On my 3rd try as soon as I popped out of the cutscene there was a cop in front of me that took 3/4 of my lifebar off in a fraction of a second before I could respond. It's a joke.

Demo is out for FU.

Yes I am doing updates.

I now remember what a pain in the ass it was to start over, and yeah the shooting part wasn't that hard, it was the escape which was crazy.

So this DS game, Away, looks pretty damn awesome.

It looks kinda weird to me. But it sounds great. I would prefer a 2-D game visually. I'm still hurting that Flagship went under and took the Zelda portable titles with them. Not that I dont like Phantom Hourglass, but that was one great team.

Yeah they fucked up on the restart points bigtime. Why in the hell do you have to start a mission over from a point BEFORE the mission even starts?  Would you like to try Mission X over again? Great! Now go find a car and drive halfway across the fucking world map to pick up jackass again so you can retry the mission. Its total cheese.

Maybe if I wasn't concerned with having time to go get laid and shit, this waste of my time wouldn't bother me. But fuck you Rockstar. Butt fuck YOU.

What does everyone think about the Dead rising Chop till you drop footage?

There is gameplay footage on http://www.gametrailers.com . It looks pretty bad to me. Where are the 30 zombies that were in the screens? Where are the 100 that they are aiming for? Visually it's dull and PS2-ish and I almost feel like if I want a game that plays like RE4 this winter I will just play RE4.

Then wait for RE5 2009. This game has dropped off my radar for the moment as someone who has already played this game on 360. I would still probably reccomend that people who haven't tried it before get it though.

I was never really that interested in it anyway myself. I was surprised they were even attempting to port this game to the Wii. I guess I would still recommend it to people who have a Wii only and had no intention about getting a 360 but to those with a 360 as well as a Wii or those who plan on getting a 360 I'd recommend they opt for the original because it looks like this version will lose too much of what made the game so great in the first place.

I think the game looks like ass so far. If they want to they can do an amzing game on the Wii, but this just seems to have no effort at all. They take RE4's combat system and throw it into the DR universe, which should be a good thing. But for some reason the combat looks boring and sluggish compared to RE4 while the production values so far look like a joke. That promo trailer Capcom made, where they show RE4 and then this game....is pretty ironic because it shows just how much better that 3+ year old Gamecube game looks and plays.

Maybe they'll pull it together though. Capcom have the skill to do so. Although Dead Rising never impressed me much in the first place. That and Lost Planet both got an early free ride on 360 because there was little else to choose from.

OXM has spoken.

And they say Microsoft's new 360 interface is going to change the way we see consoles. Funny, I thought they were just copying the Wii.

I honestly don't like what I've seen of the new menu system. This is why I don't like consoles being updated and changed....what happens when you don't LIKE the change? If you buy a console when it has a certain look, then they go and completely change it into something else a few years later. Its not the same machine you originally liked.

I also forsee major hardware malfunctions when this shit happens.

Awesome! I guess if you don't like it then it sucks but personally I love it. I love things like this, system updates and such because I always like checking out the new features. I could really care less if they're ripping off Wii or anybody rips off anybody if it's a cool feature, Mii's are, and they can enhance it for their system, it does because they look more detailed and more robust, then why not do it.

You love everything.

I hate Mii's.

I don't care if they're ripping anybody off either. I just find it funny that OXM tries to make it sound like some incredible thing when all it is, is a new fucking menu screen with Sims characters on it.

Bah, that is so not true. I just don't talk much about things I don't like. I do like most things though.

I kind of like the whole Mii concept and creating different ones and stuff but they are a little bland because they aren't as detailed as these Avatar things MS is bringing out. Using them in community driven stuff like that gameshow thing they had going on looks like a really fun feature. I don't mind the blade system they have right now but I think the new interface looks better and easier to manage because it seems to show alot more info onscreen but still keeps it clean looking. Plus like renovating it's just something new and fresh to use.

I found the original so flawed that I was hoping this game would fix them. Which they are to be fair. But it's visually so bland and such a boring rip concept and cheap effort it just annoys the hell out of me. I'm not sure if I would actually reccomend the 360 version. Yes because you can probably get it for less than $15 these days. No because it can be frustrating as hell.

Wii version, yes because they are fixing the flaws. No because it'll be full price and it's a cheap rip off money making move they are trying to pass off as something full fledged.

"It uses the RE4 Wii Engine!!!!"

Yeah, so it uses an old Gamecube engine then?

"This is made from the ground up!"

So why does it look like a port? Ugh. I give up. Capcom are digging themselves a hole.

And Packie just pisses me off. This is I think the third time he has asked me to grab a car and drive him somwhere where I can shoot things boringly while either he or one of his buddies gets themselves killed. He's an ass too and having to listen to his jibber jabba pre-mission or during the drive just grates. "This is the moment of truth boys"

^^I saw it, I just wish they make a Wii-exclusive Resident Evil game out of it, because Dead Rising Wii kinda feels Resident Evilish.

Yeah well, again this is what is annoying me with Capcom. RE UC was originally going to be a RE4 style game. Then the producer Hideo Nakata changes it to become a lightgun game because he believes "Wii users like easiness"

Then after passing the RE4 "test" by buying over 1 and a half million copies, the reward for passing this test is another port of another old zombie game. That looks worse. They are just shitting over people as far as I'm concerned. Rather than thinking "Well two of our RE games sold over a million on the system so let's make an original mature game" their thinking is that "Hell they bought an old port so lets make another one, it will only take 10 people "

"That's the next test."

NEEEEEIIIILLLL!!!!

*goes to watch*

We got BOOMERANGS!!!!

Best show ever!

You see though GG I never really felt that Dead Rising was flawed or at least flawed enough to make it frustrating. Really the only thing that annoyed me were the constant calls from Otis. Even if the 360 version was selling for it's original price I'd still be hard pressed not to recommend it over the Wii version as it's shaping up to be right now.

Whoops, forgot to mention the AI of the survivors. That could have been better and was frustrating sometimes.

There were a ton of people who found it frustrating but I know that Godmode liked it too. But Dawn of the Dead was his favourite movie ever. Let's just all agree to reccomend Kameo instead.

You liked that one too didn't you?

It's true, you like everything!

Did you like Blue Dragon? If the answer is yes my mind will explode

Dvader, why don't you put up a sig?
