Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
topgeargorilla | 1:47 PM on 07.21.2008 6 comments




I know all of the new details about Dead Rising for the wii has been coming out, so there isn't really any surprises gameplay wise, but I really must interject. Dead Rising for the Wii has a subtitle, and it's not the Japanese Zombie Sacrifice. It's now known as the rather pundorable Chop Till You Drop.

Is it just me, or are game son Nintendo systems notorious for having really long titles? Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is rather cumbersome. Oh well.

Is anybody going to get this game when it comes out this winter?

Oh. Here's the presser:

CAPCOM® ANNOUNCES DEAD RISINGTM: CHOP TIL YOU DROP
Wii Gamers Prepare For a Zombie Invasion

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

*Consume food and drink to revive health

Best bullet point feature Evar!

Someone should make a list of all the silliest pun titles for games that have ever existed. That would be interesting.
covah's Destructoid Blog
Meh, been there done that.
ShadokatRegn's Destructoid Blog
Well - it sounds like it could be interesting...but it also sounds like they're stretching for something.

I'm a sap and will probably still buy it.

@Messer; I read that as "Best bullet proof feature Evar!" and lol'd, hard. No one can ever surpass your game if you can consume food and drink to revive health!
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
If anyone ever played the 360 version you should probably save your money, the game looks terrible, no camera(thus eliminating the chance to see all the awesome easter eggs), no time limit, toned downed gore.

Waste of money, they butchered Dead Rising.
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
"freelance journalist" instead of "freelance photojournalist"... meh. There's absolutely no reason they needed to take out the camera mode. Just hit a button to pull up the camera, and aim with the wiimote. I also liked the previous mission structure myself, it put a lot of pressure on you and forced you to manage your time and choose the best routes through the mall.

@ Steel Squirrel: Look up any Ratchet & Clank or King's Quest game for some examples.

 about me

What's to say? I like videogames, otherwise, why would I be here? Other than that, I'm a college student (UC Berkeley 2010)and I do journalism. I was Co-Editor in Chief at my junior college paper, The Oak Leaf, until I transfered to Berkeley. You can read it online here. I even had a games column which is surprisingly popular, and people get a kick out of it.

I also write for a tech blog at LogicTV. It's a cool; check it out.
