NOOOOO. Because CAPCOM hasn't sent out the copy that I won from this supposive little gaming site called destructoid.com

Played this @ the Games Convention in Germany for a while. This Game is so good i would call it the first worthy successor and next generation Probotector. The whole feel of the controls, the visuals, the sound, the level design and the action make me drool. Frickin cool game and a lot more anticipated by me then GoW.

We are...

apparently they said capcom is shipping them out themselves (along with the hats) and should be in your mail in mid january. I'll give em two more weeks before the hate mail arrives.

Fucking CAPCOM. Dead Rising's save system was brought to you straight from the "Make it suck" department at CAPCOM. What are they going to fuck up on this game?

Capcom has probably been making games since before you were even big enough to handle a controller, so just let them do what they do best. (SAVE SYSTEM WAS MENT TO BE LIKE THAT FOR CAPCOMS ZOMBIE MURDER SIMULATOR)

Wow, so many people have whined about the Dead Rising save system. It really wasn't that big of a deal, at all. Wipe away your tears and get over it.

It's tempting but I don't think I can bring myself to do it....

In other words I can't wait for this game. Multiplayer is ALOT better than I thought it would be.

The demo reminded me of the repetative shit that i endured through PN03 "Just because it looked good". Fuck it. Im not touching it!

the save system sucks on this too.no checkpoints or save options on levels. some levels can last up too 45 min so if you die near the end of a level you have to start back at the beginning of the level,ok i know they say it's to make you get better but c'mon
