It does look kinda bad and i kinda agree with CaptainApoclypse as I would have loved to have this on my PStripple.

I will have to see it in action/play it before I make a decision.

Like the RE4 down-port from the GC to the PS2, this version of Dead Rising is not for those that have the original version. It still looks better than just about every other Wii zombie game.

I agree it should be on the PS3, and every console for that matter.

._. How can you say Capcom are a bunch of traitors? Aren't the 360 owners getting Resident Evil 5? Last time I checked the Resident Evil games were limited to Sony and Nintendo consoles. I love Dead Rising and obviously you do Heretic so why not share the zombie killing love with the Wii folk..they obviously need new titles. If anything I wish Capcom would bring a good port of DR to PC owners. Just think of the cool mods that could come out of that. :D

@medz

Heretic's comment was parody. It may have been too subtle. :)

@Heretic
If it makes you feel any better, I chuckled.

This is good for Wii owners who lack a 360.

smart move on Capcom's part.

@heretic

Take your hand and slap yourself. Capcom isn't owned by Microsoft. They can do whatever they want. Its their game.

Tool.

@savagesaladin

Aside from the fact that it doesn't look anywhere near as good as the original 360 version, I'm actually quite impressed at how many zombies are on the screen at once for a Wii game. And if the aiming in this version is ANYTHING like the Wii version of RE4, I already know that I'll enjoy it.

@Heretic
Can't blame them for not getting the sarcasm, how many people do you think are seriously typing that out somewhere at the moment?

Throw in a better save system and you have a customer capcom.

It shouldn't have to be the graphical quality of the game that denotes how good the game is, as we've all said. If this plays as good as, if not better than, the XBox version, shouldn't this be a great idea?

Or are we prepared to admit that Dead Rising's gameplay wasn't up to scratch?

I'm impressed that there seems to be a pretty good number of zombies on screen, despite the obvious graphic hit. Still, since I have the 360 version already, I don't need this.

it looks liek they threw a bucket of water at an oil painting lolololol


Im so getting this tho, I got rid of the 360 and I miss this game so :' (

@FuriousGeorge

I feel the same way. Got rid of the 360, and this was one of the only games I missed. No more, though.


@Gen Eric Gui

I thought the same thing. I didn't mind the save system at all.

I was excited to hear that Wii people were going to get a port of DR, because I'm one of the games fans.

The 360 gameplay had some rough spots, that if smoothed out, would elevate DR to instant classic status, rather than fan favourite. As it stands, if the player knows what to except (multiple run throughs, serious frontloaded challenge while you work up some XP, the need to find reliable items and routes) the game is pretty freaking great. Its a shame then that the Wii version isn't getting a polished port, but instead a messed up re-invention of the game that I think undercuts many of DR's best traits and the very things that made it stand out.

However, what the Wii adaptation is doing is gutting the game by removing the time sensitive nature of the play and the real-time survivor rescue missions. DR was HARD if you tried to get Ending A and "Saint" at the same time, which made it good - you had to be actually good at the gameplay mechanics, know the layout, and think about your priorities. Instead you get, in sequence, a few rescue missions between plot missions - which shifts the experience from time-racing survival horror to 'rescue minigames' essentially. Fail.

They're also taking out the photography! WTF, seriously?

So, the struggle to race against the clock is gone, the phototography is gone, the stress from getting survivor calls in the middle of main course missions is gone. So, linear play, no photography, and seriously ugly graphics.

I am pleasantly surprised by the number of (badly textured, low poly) zombies they managed to get on screen at the same time, at least they kept that.

Why is it such a big deal that this isn't being ported to PlayStation 3? Did they promise something to that effect or something?

They ripped this game apart. I hope Capcom dies in a fire.

Unless they fixed the aiming in this game that new camera is just pointless.

@ Sharpless: Really? The prospect of one of the most brilliant developers out there working with the Wii isn't exciting to you? Suit yourself, I guess.

My fucking god that screen looks like ass.

why no ps3?
that is all

ok people.....im guessing you havent heard of The Conduit? that game shows that the Wii has the ability to show graphics about as good as a 360 game. so i dont wanna hear shit like "oh the Wii can only go to PS2 lengths in graphics el oh el." its not that the Wii has bad graphics, its just that the developers are lazy fucks. im sure Capcom could put Resident Evil 5 on Wii without toning the graphics down much but they are one of those lazy fucks, as seen in these screen shots. c'mon Capcom! still...im looking forward to this. never got a chance to play the original.

This will be waggle tastic, awesome.
