2 things:

Is there any reason why there's Zombies in the shopping centre?
Why doesn't he just leave?

2 things:

Is there any reason why there's Zombies in the shopping centre?
Why doesn't he just leave?

1) Perhaps that's where the infestation started?
2) BECAUSE THERE ARE FUCKING ZOMBIES IN THE WAY?

[BlueSonnet]

When there's no more good games. The dead will walk the earth.

All-right. :g-nosebleed:

[Hobo]

Because the entire town has Zombies in it, and the road is blocked. Hes waiting in the Mall cause a Heicopter is coming to pick him up on the top. Plus hes a Photographer or whatever, he needs a story.

[BlueSonnet]

Can't you get infected in this game or is it clean sailing even if you get bit?

On the other hand i gotta say, i'm hoping gameplay doesn't get too repetitive.

[Hobo]

I think you die. But the game is basiclly, get to certian places in the mall, kill zombies ony our way there, survive, and don't miss the chopper.

[gagaman]

Here's something from the game for the Meggy fans for you to unlock:

I like how you can put on costumes in the toy store, but then again dressing up like megaman X and then going to kill zombies with a plastic buster kinda makes you look like an idiot.

[Hobo]

Oh god. Capcom...what next. HAHAHAHA. I'm done.

[Blitz Mage]

God...... that game alone makes me want to buy a 360....... luckily, one of the guys on my floor has one, so I'm just going to rent the game sometime in the near future and waste a week in his room!

Dressing like that fruit means he can shoot lasers and rip out fucking zombie guts with his bare hands, you are forbidden from complaining!

[Hobo]

Agreed.

[Hotenshu Shogun]

I'm not complaining, I'm just saying he looks like an idiot dressed like that.

[Hobo]

*Rips out Ryus guts*
FATALITY!

[Hotenshu Shogun]

You attacked a fictional ninja on an internet forum, good job.

[Hobo]

For correcting me I shall rip out and rape your spleen of it's...Spleeness.

But lets try and get back on topic.

[Hotenshu Shogun]

The Burning question I have to ask: Did you just now find out that this game was coming out?

[Blitz Mage]

uh...... c'mon. This ain't an IM service.

[GG Hendrix]

I've known about the game for ages, (And each time it is mentioned, curse the fact it's only out for the 360) it's just that seeing those videos (as well as playing the demo the other day) has made me even more enthusiastic about it.
So after playing it for four hours straight, I can safely say that the following combination never becomes monotonous or stale

A) A is for awesome. Custom soundtrack... Well. All 360 games are. AND THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME. Killing zombies while listening to a nice soothing bit of, oh I dunno, Beethoven, Oldfield, Bach, Motorhead = Awesome.
B) Brutality. Using anything and everything as a weapon
C) Constructive Asskicking. Throwing petrol cannisters into a shop crammed with undead assholes, and shooting them
D) Difficult
E) En masse swearing
F) Fail. I fail to see how killing zombies with sticks, guns, bricks, frying pans, sinks, potted plants, baseball bats, canisters, bottles, hockey sticks, bowling bowls, gardening equipment, stuff that is on fire, explosives, toys, buckets, bedposts, I'm going to take a wild guess and say sex toys (they hurt. When in Amsterdam, me and a friend clubbed the other with a horrifyingly massive butt plug called THE REAMER, and both I and she agreed. The use of sex toys should be made a war crime)...
I've forgotten where I was going with this post.
Suffice to say, this game is fun, original (ok. Zombie games have been about for ages. But this is a very funky and new look at the Mano e Zombo concept) and extremely violent.

[Hotenshu Shogun]

Yeah, that's kinda why I reserved it when I reserved Dynasty Warriors 6.

[GG Hendrix]

Dynasty Warriors 6 is already coming out?

I'm fair pissed off at the series, what with Empires being lame, 5 being a total step down, and Romance Of The Three Kingdoms 9-10 still not out in my country.


Tell you what, if you like Dynasty Warriors have a look at Ninety Nine Nights.
Only played the demo, but I liked it a lot.

[Hotenshu Shogun]

Yeah, so have I. It looks awesome.

[GG Hendrix]

Every time I play the demo I get pasted in the fight with the 34872 badguys and the troll :D

[BlueSonnet]

At the club last night english representatives from Capcom were throwing a party downstairs celebrating the release of deadman rising, and had it on display on xbox360s which people could play, so yeah in my small breaks i gave the game a go. I thought it was alright, kinda sticking to what i've said already capcom have thrown in some interesting things to do\bosses to fight. Otherwise i've been mowing down loads of zombies in games like Doom, others might get a kick out of this game more than me.

I kinda think Capcom are bastards for doing this game now though. Romero himself is working on a zombie game called City of the Dead that uses a similar formula, then Capcom had to rub it in his face with Dead Rising

[GG Hendrix]

I just learnt something.
Chainsaw juggling clowns aren't even a third as hard as they are scary.

[gagaman]

This whole 'swarm technology' thing is gonna mean we are gonna get a whole slew of games where sticking hundreds of characters on the screen will overtake gameplay. Not saying this is a bad use of it, just saying we'll be seeing plenty of bad examples in the next few years.

[T3h_Waffleman]

I played Dead Rising at a gaming cafe, and I must say, the most satisfying weapon is the rock. If you hit them hard enough, their heads explode an a splatter of blood and brains! Yes, I'm psycho. :g-Gaga:

[GG Hendrix]

Waffle- Wearing a white suit on the game is great. Fabulously dressed, and splattered with gore.

Gaga-Yeah, I know what you mean.
Ninety Nine Nights for example.
"Cool, hundreds of enemies! What cool ways can I dispose of them with?!"
"A few combos."
"What else?"
"That's it."
"...I'VE PAID MONEY FOR THIS :("

It works well for zombies though.

Most games where there are tons of enemies, it is simply a case of "Smack them and take out fifty at once" this is a different ball game.
(Oh something else I'd like to point out. Finally. A game where when surrounded by enemies and friends, you can accidentally mash up your allies as well as enemies if you're being a dick with a huge club) (I accidentally shattered the skulls of three people yesterday :p)

This game is REALLY hard. (Well, not amazingly hard, but it's damned challenging)

A bad example of "Swarm technology" in videogames (that we're bound to see hundreds of now) would be being able to cut through a massive onslaught of enemies with ease.
Dead Rising on the other hand...

This morning.
Me + chainsaw VS TSUNAMI of zombies.
You can swing through as many as you want, leaving behind writhing, bloodspewing twitching halves of corpses, but once you're completely in the middle of this undead ocean, you're fucked.

So. How to make Swarm Technology work- Make the enemies hard.
Incidentally, the later the time, the stronger the zombies. From 7 at night to some point in the morning, they go from "Strong" to "Unstoppable" to "Holy shit, I just smashed this guy with a sledgehammer and he's still eating my arm!"


I thought I had found the Megaman blaster last night. Rejoicing in the coming oblivion of the undead, I charged into a group of them.
"EAT PLASMA DEATH YOU UNDEAD SHITES!"
(fires small harmless yellow ping pong balls out of toy blaster)
"...DAMN YOU CAPCOM!"

I sincerely hope this leads to Capcom doing some online zombie games.
Resident Evil Outbreak, combined with Dead Rising, would be, to say the least, excellent.

Especially when a group of you are about to be swarmed.

"They're through the barrier!"
"SHIT!"
"ARSE!"
"When there's no more room in Hell...I WILL KILL ZOMBIES WITH A PARK BENCH."

It will be immature, extremely violent, and will feature clubbing zombies to death with toys.

That's the only reason I need to want this thing. Action game with custom soundtrack, one of the only places where Halo 1 and 2 let me down.

Huzzah! I can listen to The Offspring, while I kill the dead!

Hmm, I'll probably get Chromehounds first though. I rented that game and it is addictive. It's by the makers of Armored Core, which is only for Playstation, that was the one reason I was skeptic about getting my 360, but now I need to buy Chromehounds.

[GG Hendrix]

Chromehounds is tempting. But it's made for online (the single player is just training) and playing with sweaty 16 year old overweight American basement dwelling feckless homophobic idiotic pricks = NOT FUN.

[gagaman]

You expect overwise from online gamers?

(Not including handheld Wi-Fi gaming, of course. That's a different ball game.)

I miss the old days before teamspeak!
Where no one was a dick to eachother, simply because they couldn't be bothered to type it!
Then some wankstabber invented typin lik dis u fkn f4g hax, and it all went to shit.
And then teamspeak, and it got worse.

I'm obviously not speaking for all online gamers, I've had some great matches on Halo 2 with people who actually had more than 3 brain cells.

Fucking online gamers.
You're there to play and have fun.
There's a difference between
"Ah, git, right in the back of my head! Bastard! (laughing)"
and
"YOU FUCKING HACKING FAGGOT COMMUNIST."

[tuckur21]

I downloaded the demo on my 360 and Its pretty good I'm not gonna buy it though because its too much of the samething. Though its a good way to releive stress. I mean how doesn't stabbing a guy in a serve bot mask with a scythe make you feel happy?

Trust me, the demo is the tip of the iceberg.

(Okay, don't take this as flipping out, I just wanna point out a few things)
I take partial offense to that, I'm 14, under weight (not by choice, I eat like a freakin' garbage disposal), American, and have a life outside of video games and here. I'm also not homophobic, do what ever the hell you want, it's none of my business. (Note: I don't care what your reasons are for stereotyping, but it's wrong and can piss off people really easily. I just don't have much of a temper.)

Besides, I like it because the game is actualy a lot like Armored Core, which was my favorite PS2 game. For that one reason I am addicted.

I'm obviously not speaking for all online gamers, I've had some great matches on Halo 2 with people who actually had more than 3 brain cells.
I unfortunately do not have (Xbox) Live on my 360, which sucks, hoping to get what I need for my B-Day(I know it comes with cables, but I need a wireless adapter for it). It is actually pretty fun to team up online, as long as you and your team have common ground, if you argue at all though you might as well stand still, that's my experience of Halo 2 on live anyway(I played at my friends house, it's also more fun if you know the people you're playing with, in person).

I'm a PSP Wi-Fi gamer too, if anyone has Socom for the PSP, we should play sometime.

[tuckur21]

Trust me, the demo is the tip of the iceberg.
I might rent it but buying it I'm not sure of because it seems like it could get boring really easily.

...I wasn't fucking talking about you.

[T3h_Waffleman]

I don't see how that could be possible. The getting boring thing.
