Yeah, I was a little iffy on DR2 before Case Zero. However, after playing case Zero it turned into a day one purchase.
Case Zero has everything I loved about DR, but now with improved gun combat and a better save system.

You know why this downloadable game sold well? BECAUSE ITS FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS. Many games on Steam do well because of cheap prices: the cheaper a product is, more people are inclined to buy it.
When I first heard about devs considering demos that cost money, I was a bit miffed, but after buying Case 0, I can say that I think this is kind of a neat idea.
It's only five freaking dollars and I've already gotten like ten hours of playtime out of it. I know not everyone will be as enthralled with zombie killing and cheevo collecting but I'll be damned if I'm not working my way towards 200/200 on this thing.
Another thing that I like is that the story and setting were created especially for this thing, instead of just taking a slice of the full game and charging for it. It's like DLC... but before the game comes out. And that works with me.

Absolutely can't go wrong for $5. Anyone left bitching about this has not played it.
Foodnipple, the folks at Giant Bomb have been calling it "Pre-LC," which I particularly enjoy.

"65$ for the complete game?
Thank you, idiots who bought this."
Considering it's not even available on 2 of 3 platforms (PS3 and PC), and the PC version is 40 dollars... I'm going to have to go ahead and call bullshit.

I'd call it a success as well. Was pretty decent sized download for just five bucks and was more than just a simple demo some
Try to argue.
For 5 bucks I got a good 4 to 5 hours out of it. Shank for example cost me 15 and lasted me 3 hours. So I think the price defenitly helped.
Same with Scott pilgrim being 10 rather than 15 it could have been

It got me to go out and rebuy Dead Rising too, which apart from the annoying AI is still a game I love to bits.
@ klops - I dont understand your comment. Are the people who bought it idiots or the people who didnt?

Paid Demo won!
You know what would be funny? If the demo sold well and the full game was a complete failure.

Yeah; Microsoft could learn a lot about pricing and such here.
A simple "Deal of the Week" usually isn't enough to draw us in.

Though MSoft could learn about pricing and such, they won't. The game definitely made me pre-order DR2, as at five dollars, I was very pleased with the content.
I agree with wanting Dead Rising 2, more. This demo wasn't the greatest thing ever, but it certainly was the biggest and best demo I've ever played. I'd gladly drop another $5 on a demo if it provided extra content that wasn't in the game.
@Fo0dNippl3, Char
I had the whole "Pre-LC" conversation with a few of my Live friends this weekend, and those were my sentiments exactly!
Nobody would have batted an eye at a few hours of extra content for $5 if it had been released after the game had launched. Anyone who calls this a "paid demo" has no fucking clue what they're talking about.

I was totally the same, was going to give it a miss since Civ V, F1, NHL 11 etc are dropping.
But after Case Zero....dear god I want more Zombie Killing action. It seemed to handle better than DR1 straight off the bat, which was the main thing I disliked about the first one.
Either way, it was fantastic fun...and did exactly what a "demo" should do. Havent played one so much since the Alpha Centauri demo way back in the late 90s

I knew I had to have it when I realised I could move AND shoot. Didnt realise at first because its bored into my brain that its not possible lol
Ok, just one thing is buuging me now and Im hoping its explained in the full game....but how did Chuck know to swat the bee thing?

@Themightylebeau2009
I wondered that at first as well, but then I realized/assumed that since the sequel takes place well after the first game (there's already a zombie "cure", after all), the denizens of Dead Rising's universe must just know about the whole bee thing.

@ mrandydixon - Yeah I guess....I remember a couple of the different endings to DR1 wernt necessarily alternative, with regards to Willamette being the first place to fall to the zombie outbreak and what happened next they could be pieced together to make a full ending if you had seen them all....if that makes sense.
(Im trying to avoid spoilers for the 8 poeple who havn't finished it yet)
We know where Zombrex comes from though :-)

The people who call this a demo need to jump off of the highest roof around them. Might as well tie a noose to make sure you end yourself, too. So what's the trial for Case Zero? A demo of a demo?
Fucking moron dipshits.

There's a reason for it. This is the best five dollars I've spent in ages. I played it three times and had a great time doing it.
I'm looking forward to the sequel, I just still don't get WTF is Capcom's problem in not fixing many of the issues with the last game.

I might give it a try. I'm curious to see whether the full game will be Return to the Mall Security Office 2: Return to the Casino Security Office.
Part of me feels like Capcom got me to pay $5 for a demo. The rest of me was too busy wrecking zombies to care. It's content not actually in the game, and it made me more excited to play the real thing. I felt the original was more irritating than fun (survivor A.I.) but somehow this became a day one purchase for me.
I really enjoyed the quick look contained in the game. I don't think I would have ever passed on DR2 but Case Zero definitely encouraged me to get it day one instead of waiting for a price drop.
I mostly enjoyed it except for the zombies constantly pulling and biting when you've passed by them already. I'll wait for dr2 to be cheap, I'm in no hurry to play it.
I would support more developers doing stuff like this, especially when the price is only $5. I wasn't planning on picking up DR2 before I played Case Zero.
Case Zero completely floored me, and I wasn't all that excited about DR2. Well it got me to preorder DR2 with the quickness. I got at least a dozen hours out of Case Zero and all the achievements. I really love what they did with Chuck's daughter, as she was very well portrayed, and it made me feel like I actually cared what happened to her.
How's abouts some PS3 love?
We're getting the full game too right? And i WILL pay for this Demo/Pre-LC if you put it on the PSN.
just wanna check it out, never played the first but really interested in the new one and would love to give it a try before i buy.
Who am i kidding? I'm gonna buy it anyway.
