Get the Construction Hat by climbing from Bobs spot up to the upper roof level beside it. Look for a bridge that leads to another building youll find the Construction Hat to the left, in the corner. Its the only one.
Theres only one Kayak Paddle in the game right outside of the safe room, check the right side wall of the boarded building across the street. Its the one with the van in front, the one you find Dick on top of.

The Dead Rising clock is what makes the game so strategically fun. You have to plan out your route and when to do certain thing. It's like a action strategy/sims game in some way.
However, I think the game can be created with the current time-intensive moment with the do-whatever-fuck-around moment. They just need to get rid of the overworld clock (3 days as in the first game), but have multiple missions that are linked together that once you initiated one of them you have to do them all within a set amount of time.
That way, we can fuck around the world when we don't begin a mission, but once we started a mission, a chain reaction/missions will be initiated and we have to push along with the clock. Then we can have the urgency to plan strategically but still be able to play around in the open world.

If you start off immediately by unlocking everything you save tons of time. Like when it's time to go get the handlebars, you already have a Broadsword from your visit to the Hunting Shop. I wrapped everything up on my 2nd playthru (Level 5) by 5pm at least. I had to sit on my thumb until the next events at 7. Or grabbing the engine from behind the theater before heading off to get Gemini to kill two birds with one stone.
Cleaned up all achievements, got ending A... satisfied, want more, drooling... only a month left.

I was unsure, but at $5 I said fuck it and bought it earlier today. A few friends came over and we played it for 5 hours straight while smoking hookah. We died 3 times in the 5 hours it took to beat the game, and restarted the story each time. It's worth every penny, as I'm sure I'll be playing again tomorrow. We got an A, but I'm interested to see the other endings - not to mention kill more zombies with the

Oh and did anyone else notice the sound effect/music when you use the alt-attack with the Chef Knife? I laughed damn hard when I realized what it was from.

Finished Case Zero A ending today, and it was a fantastic delicious entree that has left me thirsting for more (huge DR1 fanboi here).
I have questions though:
Wasn't this supposed to bridge DR1 and DR2? Wasn't it supposed to link Frank West to Chuck Greene? And what about Carlitos 50 walking ticking timebomb infected children distributed across the US? No mention of it? It's clear from the Case Zero story that Chucks daughter is not one of them (she's not an orphan to begin with).

I think everyone thought it was going to link DR1 and 2 but it ended up being just a prolgue, still I have a sneaking suspicion we will see frank again.
I couldn't believe this my self, but Case Zero takes place 3 years before Dead Rising 2.

Ah, it's such a delightful little piece of zombie slaying, survivor saving action. I actually love the fact that once you've played it a few times you're able to just blow through the case segments in no time flat. It leaves you with a lot of time to mess around which - in game where time is factor - is great.

I caved in and bought this. The framerate is HORRENDOUS. I'm not a snob for framerates, but it looks seriously ugly in motion. I appreciate there's a fuckton of zombies but man, if it got a bit better performance out of the game they shoulda cut down the numbers a bit.
That's mostly a non-issue for me, since I'm buying the PC version which will hopefully be a lovely solid 60fps, but since I paid £5 for this I feel like I have the right to complain.
The rest of it seems a lot like Dead Rising now, which is cool. I'm glad they didn't scrap the time mechanics and the story has me interested. I've only got one bit of the bike so far so I'm not that far in, but I expect I'll finish it tonight.
The town seems a bit bare, though, at first glance. Nothing compared to the mall. I expect Fortune City will make up for that, however, so I'm not overly critical of it.

Okay, so am I the only person who is finding the final boss to be TOTAL BULLSHIT?
What am I missing? Why is it that he can shoot me no matter what I'm doing and I can't seem to hit him for shit?

Got Ending A last night on my second play through. Going to be doing at least two more probably. Definitely worth 400 points. Do we know how Chuck and Katey get from Case Zero to DR2? There's a huge time gap there so...Do we know anything?
Also, glad to see Co-Op confirmed.

Using the fire extinguisher to freeze the zombies and then shatter them with another object is so satisfying! <3
Also.....I cant seem to find it anywhere, so does anyone here know where to find the farm overalls for Chuck?

Anyone else laugh their asses off every time you combine a weapon?
Maybe it was the fact that my Chuck had a mohawk and the diner girl's dress on, but the cut scene when you combine weapons had me rolling on the floor every time it played. Chuck's smug fucking grin after he just duct taped the shit out of some stuff is golden. Also reminds me of fuckyeah.gif!

Played one more time, zipping around doing things early and in quick succession had me waiting around quite a bit, but still fun screwing around until event trigger time.
Set up a fun last save with both the paddlesaw and boomstick, prepped to see a few different endings and then reload to restore the save file with an A ending. As long as you don't get greedy (and know when to start up the paddlesaw safely), every slap of the paddlesaw rips giant chunks off the boss. Boomstick didn't do much to its originator, however.

The beer hat just keeps replenishing you over and over and over again
I must say I love running into massive groups of zombies with the broadsword with the untouchable milkshake. I just took four swords with me and a shake, by the end I was just fighting the last few zombies with my fists.. With just dead bodies EVERYWHERE!
I forgot how much I loved Dead Rising.

Yeah...I thought there was a reason why they don't let you pick skills when leveling up. But if it's random I don't know what that reason could be. Just weird.Draft said:

Was really put off by earlier videos of DR2 but Case Zero has me day one now. Visually it's about the same as the last game but there does seem to be lot more zombies and bit more zombie variety going on as well so that's fine with me.
Big improvement I think is that the escorting of survivors is much better now. The survivors do a much better job of navigating hordes of zombies and killing them as well. In DR1 it was always a pain as they got stuck or trapped but in this the escorts really can be ignored and they will follow you without trouble and rarely get into trouble, found myself often just running through the zombies to the safe house never having to turn around to save or protect the survivors.
The game also feels much more open than DR1 with where you can go and being outside.
