News \ New Info On Dead Rising Wii

Ok. It will be called Dead Rising: Zombie Sacrifice in Japan. The story will stay the same as the original except now instead of being told to go meet people at a certain time, Otis will give three or four submissions which when completed will make the main story progress.

Aww arent you a cute little puppy. OH GOD GET IT OFF ME!!

The camera will be over the shoulder third person ala Resident Evil 4 except now you cant take pictures with Franks camera.

Damn i just want a cheeseburger, this is going to take forever

The game also features motion controls. This is what Minoru Nakai producer and director of the game has to say about the controls "Basically, you use the Nunchuk to move and the Wii-mote to perform actions," Nakai told Famitsu. "You can press the A button to attack with your subweapon, but you can also attack by swinging the Wii-mote. That makes the attack stronger but expands the backswing -- sort of like regular and heavy punches in a fighting game."

The game will also feature new enemies and weapons. No Japanese release date has been set.Development is well under way.

I rented this game on 360 and this looks exactly like it just with dumbed down graphics. On 360 it was quite good. Can't wait to see what this is like.

dossaer said: I've been hoping that we'd see Dead Rising for Wii since I played the 360 version. I always thought that control would be cooler with the Wiimote.

Now it's on the way there's a few things bothering me: Mission structure, no happy snaps and the sacrifices to visual presentation that have to be made to get the game engine running...

Like always I guess we'll have to just wait and see

*pouts bottom lip, stamps feet and whines: "I don't wanna wait!"*



Yeah, I honestly don't quite get how it's really going to retain the same feel. Lack of snaps I can deal with, but the structured nature is a bit of a cop out

Keep in mind dead rising has A LOT more on screen zombies/creatures at one time than most games dream about



Yeah that is true I guess!

Okay, no time limit on meet ups = fail
This won't be dead rising

Edit: Just thought I might add a bit more to that

What made Dead Rising awesome was that it was possible to fail so utterly and be unable to finish the games plot that made it all so tense.

What happens when you take pictures?

it was a experience point system in the 360 version

but im sure they'll add something else to take place of the camera

From Wiki:Experience system

Dead Rising incorporates an experience system that allows Frank to improve his offensive and defensive capabilities as the game progresses. By taking photographs of different situations in gameplay the player can earn "Prestige Points", a form of experience points that allows the player to increase Frank's combat abilities. Photos are automatically evaluated and assigned a genre: either erotica, horror, outtakes, drama, or brutality. These points are also gained by helping survivors or by killing zombies. Many attacks that Frank can learn are based on those used in professional wrestling. One new skill or ability is awarded as Frank gains experience.

Should the player start a new game, all experience progression the player has already made can be carried over to the new game. In that way, the player may choose to ignore the plot completely and gain more Prestige Points to level up and use in a later game.
