Yeah I corrected it.
Anyway have they said what combination items you can make in Case zero? Im assuming it will be the standard baseball bat and nails.

Not for Case Zero.

The fact that it has achievements like a standalone xbl release bodes well, but I wouldn't be shocked if it had no coop.Deepack said:

Ah I didn't think they would put that many in it to leave some for the main release.
I am definitely buying this day one, and it is going to have a huge impact on my decision to buy Dead Rising 2. I remember being hyped but skeptical for DR1 but the demo completely sold me, and it is my favorite 360 game to date. I have high hopes but I am concerned.

Yep, I fully quote you.
Because if this DLC was for FREE, you could think this was a demo or a showcase, or a prologue story to be seen as a gift from Inafune-San.
Kinda second part of the Capcom Zombrex propaganda.
And this could be genuine genius propaganda-advertising.
But you have to pay for it. So it's not advertising. It's business.
You get a 2to6 hours product (so it's not a demo) for 5 bucks with achievements and all stuff.
But this could be the real prologue of the final retail game, so any angle you could look at this thing, we are talking about a a storm of 5$ that will arrive to Capcom's pocket for a thing you could play for free as a part of the final product.
It's not a scandal, I kinda appreciate this, the risk is that in the future any game will have a retail cost and lots of DLC scattered in time that will be probably foundamental to fully understand a story or to fully appreciate a product.
In the past you could have all this at ONE retail cost for ONE disk or cassette.
This is clever business, okai, but is this also "fair"?

Im sure they would say that if it wasn't released as standalone and charged for we would never have gotten it anyway in the main game due to time/budget constraints.
Pretty sure that was the line used for the Resi 5 extra DLC (altho that came out months after the game not a few weeks before)

It's never not fuzzy and sketchy. Would this prologue have existed if they weren't planning to charge for it? Perhaps additional resources were spent to make this happen. Or perhaps they just ripped out the beginning of the game.
The one who's to say isn't saying. And no one's asking. These things should be more transparent.

The thread title should really be change to "This is not a demo" I swear.Boney said:
Oh and I read somewhere that Inafune actually wanted this to be free for everyone because they are not profiting from this, and that 400 was the lowest Microsoft would let them go.
Edit: And he mention it at Comic Con. http://www.gamertell.com/gaming/comment/dead-rising-case-zero-is-primed-for-an-august-release/

I noticed Rockstar said the same thing about the new Red dead content, if they really wanted to give it away for free they couldn't they just put a code to download it in the box when people buy the game? Would give people more incentive to buy the game as well.

Definitely going to get this but was a little put-off with all that damn loading, holy shit.

Only 2 outcomes to thisDraft said:
1) MS exclusive, they paid money or something
2) Experiment from Capcom to see if making a mini version of the game with achievements and carry-over stats will help sales or make more money, why make a demo for free when you can make a single one stage prologue 2 hours long using your game engine and make $5 per person off it?
Only two reasons.
Sucks, especially if the performance issues mentioned earlier are true. I'm interested in DR2, and I would prefer to get it on the platform that has Case Zero, but I would also prefer to get it on the platform that guarantees a smooth frame rate and clean graphics.Jtyettis said:

The max level for Case Zero is level 5.
The PP meter maxes out on level 5.
Grinding money is the only thing I'm not sure about.

Views of an old build and multiplayer mode contributed a lot to the sentiment that the game was turning out poorly. Then a single recent preview mentioned some slow down. Time will tell but I think the game will turn out fine for both consoles.
Well, the leaked version of Case Zero has some huge issues with loading times but other than that it seems fine... though I hope the zombies don't disappear like that in the full game.

That's a ton of loading screens. Meh, I'll get over it.Peff said:

Seems like they just kept skipping cutscenes so it kept loading.

I thinkt his should have been a preoreder bonus or something. Either way I cleared out most of my points buying 3 of the summer arcade games, so I am not buying another points card for this (espeically since I vowed never to leave a good amount of points laying dormant in my account after I got ripped out with that Cerberus network BS).

That's exactly what happened. People seem to forget the first game's massive amounts of cutscenes exactly like this. If you skip them all it looks like lots of loading. IE - the first time you walk into the mall in DR1 you have a cutscene, but you don't have that same load/scene every time you use that door thereafter.goldenpp72 said:

slightly off topic, but does DR2 still have the same "everything must be done in a certain time" gameplay from the first? I hated that.

eh, I'll probably just skip the whole game, maybe pick it up when it hits the bargain bin
The video of the first 20 minutes of DR2 that was posted online showed loading problems without skipping cs. It seemed to be only a problem with cs, and roughly the same loading DR1 had, so it doesn't bother me. Capcom says they're working on the loading, but don't get your hopes up. It shouldn't ruin the experience, at least.
edit: If people are worried so much about performance issues, you might want to wait to see how the PC version compares. The video of the 360 version didn't look as bad, but the person who posted it mentioned framerate problems in some areas. It didn't look as bad as the PS3 video.

installing the game would fix this, right?
