DR2 Case Zero

[demi]

* Thread is mostly for the $5 demo coming soon

This leaked so I guess pirates get first dibs on JTAG Xboxes...

[Bebpo]

Pirates even get demos first?  wtfffff I hate being legit

[demi]

Yea someone leaks it from PartnerNet (or maybe even an early review code) and then it spreads. That is how Sonic 4 got around.

To be fair only JTAG Xboxes can play it. Regular people who just have a flashed firmware can't.

[Diunx]

Does this have offline co op?

[demi]

Does this have offline co op?

No, neither does the full game

[Third]

I wish I knew how to jtag my xbox

[Diunx]

smh.

[Trent Dole]

[drew]

The currently procedure is too much hassle. I'm waiting until there are alternative ways to do it.

[AdmiralViscen]

Sonic 4 leaked? Is it shit?

But, like MC Hammer, we know you are too legit to quit.

You should probably wait until just wishing does it for you.

In a similar manner, I'm waiting until just wishing will prevent them from blocking hacked xboxes. Which I assume is never.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

What's the best resources for hackign Xshit 360? I don't care about Xbox Lie and i want to pirate games out the wazoo.

[The Sceneman]

whens this out again?

end of August I think? So pretty soon!

you'll need a jtag x360 if you want to pirate xbla/dlc stuff. it's a x360 that hasnt been upgraded past a certain dashboard version (sometime during 2009 i think?)

[The Sceneman]

Wow I am so pumped for this. Only a few more days before we get to kill more zombies and earn achievements

[chronovore]

You could always go back and play Dead Rising 1...

[demi]

Yeah Scenester. I got 1000. You are officially a pussy bitch. Step up to the plate.

[The Sceneman]

Hmm. I have 960/1000 and just need 5 & 7 day survivor. I might be able to fit that in in my week off coming up. I really need to sort through all my crap in my bedroom, look for jobs etc. so I can play DR in between.

Link me the best survival guide NAO

[demi]

i used the non-confrontational guide.

[Cravis]

When's this released? I can't wait. I went ahead and pre-ordered my copy from Gamestop since you get the sweet ninja costume.

[iconoclast]

Kotaku says August 31 (along with Hydrophobia)... so that means they should be out on September 1st since that's a Wednesday.

[demi]

Hydrophobia too? Oh man. Hot... might have to get some points

[Cravis]

Kotaku says August 31 (along with Hydrophobia)... so that means they should be out on September 1st since that's a Wednesday.

Awesome. I didn't realize it was so soon. I figured they would have waited until the week before 2 releases.

[chronovore]

So those look suspiciously like non-transferable 'cheevs. I'd been mis-remembering these as 'cheevs that transfer over to the main story, but I must have been thinking of Crackdown 2.

This is an XBLA title based on the same engine/gameplay, but with no other save-file connection to DR2 such as outfits, advantages, equipment?

[iconoclast]

All I know for sure is the character level transfers over to DR2. The achievements aren't shared though, this game has its own set since it's technically an XBLA game. It's kinda like Fable 2 + Fable 2 Pub Games in that regard (I guess, I've never played pub games).

[The Sceneman]

yep it's just like Pub Games. Own set of cheevs, but transferable levels and 'combo' items. It's an awesome idea, it means you get more achievements!

And of course you get a taste of DR2 a month early.

Hey, has anyone seen any reviews for Case 0 yet? I mean its out tomorrow...

[demi]

who cares... reviews are for figgurts

[The Sceneman]

Man I just owned myself real bad. After reading demi's comment I realised I share the exact same sentiment as him!

distinguished mentally-challenged fellow reviewers docked points off DR1 for the save system, becuase they totally missed the friggn point of the game. The save system was awesome becuase it owned you if you sucked. I hate people so much.

[chronovore]

Hey, Scenester, how is your 1000/1000 run of DR1 going?

Hey, has anyone seen any reviews for Case 0 yet? I mean its out tomorrow...

Here's a review: It's more Dead Rising for $5. Don't be stupid or a poor person like me and buy it.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Lol. G4TV's review's cons list:

The Cons

    * Unforgiving time limit discourages exploration
    * Requires multiple playthroughs to discover and complete all objectives
    * Lack of autosave prior to major events can be frustrating

THESE ARE PROS, DUMMIES.

[demi]

I cant even get on XBL ;_;

[MCD]

Texture pop-in in my 2010 cutscenes.

smh Canadian devs.

[demi]

This game is amazing, and I only watched the first cutscene. Right away you feel that connection to Katey. Here is a father just trying to be with the possibily only thing he has in this destroyed city (or world). Doing whatever he can to survive for him and her.

Chuck also sounds badass. And he doesnt have a bulky jew nose.

Dead Rising 2

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[MCD]

If Chuck Greene were my dad, things would be different around here!

[AdmiralViscen]

Startign this now. Can't see how I wouldn't buy it.

[demi]

There's Queens in this game, and Chuck apparently knows what they are. Frank West

[demi]

Chuck unfortunately doesnt seem to be a judo master. He cant even jump kick.

[Third]

That is pathetic. Maybe you can unlock that move.

Btw, is the loading as bad as I've feared?

[demi]

Um... I guess I'd say it's on par with the first. I found the Gas Can for the bike outside the Gas Station.

Weapons I've made:

Bucket + Drill = Drill Bucket (put on Zombies head)
Nail + Bat = Nailbat
Nail + Propane = I.E.D
Rake + Battery = Electric Rake (I saw this in the Pawn Shop so I just assumed it was able to be created)

[Stoney Mason]

Still don't like the controls.

But that little demo is compelling. I tried the trial version before I left and it was a lot of fun. I'll probably buy it when I get home.

What would you change given the chance?

I mean honestly I wouldn't change anything. If people like the way it feels then that should serve that audience rather than me. I just don't like how deliberate and animated the game feels sometimes. I don't feel like I have great control over my character like in some other action games. It's like that early boss fight in the first one while you are shooting at that guy in the food court and it just feels awful.


I get that is kind of the point. To not make it like Ninja Gaiden or something and instead have a different feel especially with all those weapons and things in the environment to interact with. But I find myself frustrated when they set up the boss battles and such. But for what its worth I did enjoy that trial demo like I said. The first Dead Rising was always a game I wanted to like but didn't. But there were other reasons for that. So I'm hoping DR 2 fixes a lot of my quibbles. I definitely can enjoy a game even if the controls aren't great or my cup of tea so I hope I will enjoy DR 2.

shut up

[Third]

WTF. What did I do now? 
Long loading times are also mentioned in the reviews. It really ruins the dynamic of the gameplay.
Game still looks fun though, kinda.

[drew]

christ, i hate game reviewers

"HEY GUYS HERES A FIVE MINUTE LONG VIDEO SPOILING SHIT FROM THAT THING YOUVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR *pulls out sticky note* YOU KNOW HOW YOU THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS AND THAT? WELL IT TURNS OUT THEY BOTH SUCK, WE KNOW BECAUSE WE GOT IT FOR FREE OVER A MONTH AGO LOL"

go fuck yourselves, seriously

[drew]

HEY GUYS WATCH US PLAY THIS SHIT WHILE WE MAKE UNFUNNY DRY SARCASTIC REMARKS FOR THIRTY MINUTES LOL

[Robo]

You're watching a review, but don't want them to tell you anything about it.  I'm not sure I can sympathize.

[drew]

im not watching them, i just loathe the fact that they exist, at least in their current format

[drew]

People still care about reviews

no, but i care about your mom

[Sho Nuff]

People still care about reviews

Reviewers

[iconoclast]

Just started this. The framerate is awful, what the fuck

[MCD]

Just started this. The framerate is awful, what the fuck

You are still under the AR effect.

[iconoclast]

When you run down the middle of the street, it is reaaaally choppy. And also my game freezes for like 10 seconds whenever I go to save. I should go clear my cache, maybe that's the problem.

[fistfulofmetal]

a quick look is not a review


and the game looks just as annoying as the first game. def passing on this one.

[iconoclast]

Alright, this game just won me over. I put on a waitress dress in the diner, picked up a kitchen knife, held X to do a strong attack on one of girls and stabbed her in the chest while that sound effect from the movie Psycho played.

Pre-ordering ASAP.

Not what I was referring to.  Are you trying to make a point?
