Wow that looks gawd-awful.

Thanks for making my decision of getting this or Atelier Rorona a lot easier.

It doesn't look that bad at all...

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Yes, with the added bonus of having to give Katey Zombrex every 24 hours. Enjoy!

Can't you leave the Zombrex with Katey

does it need to go in to her back or something

 

[KibblesBits]

Katey is like 6 years old at best and Zombrex comes in a syringe.

I'm just saying

Daddy's fighting zombies, if Katey can use an XBox controller then she can figure out how needles work

 

[ToyMachine228]

Only 400 points, a taste of what the full game will play like, a story that's actually interesting, a setting different from a mall...Count me in. Hopefully it gets me excited for Dead Rising 2. As of right now I can't say I'm really too interested in it.

 

[Hey You]

the demo for this will probably make or break deadrising2 for me

Same.

Truth be told, I haven't played the first one yet. My Friend has been bugging me to do so.

 

[AleeN634]

Can't wait for this! Hopefully it's good as others mentioned this will pretty much make or break a Dead Rising 2 purchase for me.

 

[Truespeed]

Only puzzling aspect is why this thing isn't on Steam and PSN as well...

Inafune felt the team had priorities other than making a buck. It wanted to give fans a chance to understand the events of Dead Rising 2 while providing them with a simple way to try out the game.

Odd, isn't it? I guess Inafune didn't want people who use PSN or Steam to understand the events of Dead Rising 2.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

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.

Literally half of that video is loading screens, and the game itself just seems to be a load of fetch quests... running back and forth.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Well, he said a buck.

Microsoft probably offered many bucks.

 

[NIN90]

Literally half of that video is loading screens, and the game itself just seems to be a load of fetch quests... running back and forth.

So... it's just like the first game? Day 1 for me.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Wow, at the loading screens in the Caze Zero gameplay videos....

 

[Warm Machine]

Wow, at the loading screens in the Caze Zero gameplay videos....

Skipping cinematics = load times

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Skipping cinematics = load times

The load time length is pretty long, regardless.

 

[Prime crotch]

Wow, at the loading screens in the Caze Zero gameplay videos....

Even more worrying that its loading from hdd; on the other hand, dead rising is the kind of game where you stay in one area a long period of time

 

[Rorschach]

...it's on the hard drive... why is there so much loading?

 

[InfectedZero]

Literally half of that video is loading screens, and the game itself just seems to be a load of fetch quests... running back and forth.

Have you even played Dead Rising?

 

[TheKaeptain]

Wasn't a fan of the first game but I will try this out and see how I like it. Should be a good indication of the next full game.

 

[kyo_daikun]

I'm just saying

Daddy's fighting zombies, if Katey can use an XBox controller then she can figure out how needles work

Lol, its definetly going to be an interesting game mechanic that's for sure.

 

[Kuran]

Main character reminds me a little bit of Sawyer.

 

[Prime crotch]

I'm just saying

Daddy's fighting zombies, if Katey can use an XBox controller then she can figure out how needles work

Youre like the meanest dad, here pumkin just stick this big needle in a big juicy vein and press it

 

[Grampa Simpson]

I'm totally fucking confused. I get that this is a 2-6 hour chunk of game.

Is it also part of the retail experience, or is it a separate entity using the same engine but with different locations?

 

[goldenpp72]

Different location entirely I believe.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Have you even played Dead Rising?

Exactly. Lots of loading and fetch quests sound like Dead Rising to me. It's all about killing zombies, and now we can do it with a friend.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Youre like the meanest dad, here pumkin just stick this big needle in a big juicy vein and press it

Daughter: Hey Daddy I'm squeamish.
Chuck: *zombie is biting his small intestine and dragging it away like a noodle because he got ambushed on the way back*
Daughter: Now how am I ever going to take my medicine.

 

[MMaRsu]

YEAH, THEY ARE. JUST LIKE THEY'RE CHARGING YOU FOR IT.

Fuck.

Why are you so angry? :lol

 

[goldenpp72]

Come on, if I had a daughter i'd do my best to give her the medicines and not make her stab herself, kids that age don't 'get' shit, I think it's a funny dynamic.

 

[MMaRsu]

I'll check out the trial for the demo of DR2

 

[Nemesis_]

Why are you so angry? :lol

I'm not angry. Just annoyed at the people who keep insisting this is a paid demo. It's just frustrating.

 

[Kintaro]

I'll check out Case Zero. If its good, I'll buy the game on PC and save money any way you look at it.

 

[Persona7]

I am still trying to figure out why the park in the original Dead Rising always took 12-17 seconds to load while some other small mall areas took way longer.

 

[Teknoman]

I'll check out Case Zero. If its good, I'll buy the game on PC and save money any way you look at it.

Hmm...thats not such a bad idea.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I had no idea that this was coming out so this is a pleasant surprise. I guess this gives a whole lot of weight toward getting the xbox version.

 

[TheSeks]

I'm not angry. Just annoyed at the people who keep insisting this is a paid demo. It's just frustrating.

Spoiler

But it is a paid demo

. You can dress it up and make it a "new area," all you want, but it is running on the DR2 engine (IIRC) and is coming out a few weeks before DR2 full comes out. Unless Capcom releases a demo for DR2 itself, this is technically a paid demo just dressed up to not look like one.

I am still trying to figure out why the park in the original Dead Rising always took 12-17 seconds to load while some other small mall areas took way longer.

Less Polygon/dividers for stores to render in the outdoors, I wager.

 

[consoul]

So you're actually saying that if a DR2 demo were released, then Case Zero would no longer be a "paid demo" by your definition? Wow.

I don't get the whole "paid demo" rage. This isn't a demo at all. It's more like a standalone DLC episode.

 

[rasberryjam]

Demo or not, this is a fantastic deal at $5. Hell, I used to pay $12+ for a copy of Xbox magazine, just for the demo disc.

 

[MMaRsu]

I'm not angry. Just annoyed at the people who keep insisting this is a paid demo. It's just frustrating.

Why? It seems very obvious to me that they took out the prologue from the game and 'turned' it into a XBLA game. The first game had an awesome demo that made a lot of people buy the game..

If somehow you have information that that's not the case I'll gladly hear it, but it just makes sense.

 

[Zabka]

I'd like to believe it was planned as pre-release promotional DLC from the beginning, if only because chopping off the beginning of the game and making it console exclusive would be absolutely fucking evil.

 

[Daigoro]

awesome amount of bitching and bickering in this thread. :lol

cant wait for Case 0 and the main game myself.

 

[sweetvar26]

400 Microsoft Points? So bought.

Are there even any games coming out for 400 Microsoft points anymore? The last one I know of or that I bought was Chime.

 

[Snapshot King]

On one fact, it is a paid demo, but calling it that over and over is disingenuous. Inafune mentioned in an earlier interview that Capcom games demo like shit and they're always agonizing over whether they gave too much away or too little. So they decided that small prequel games running on the same engine, with the same basic concepts, but new stuff and bonus story, would be a good compromise. So thus Dead Rising 2 Case 0.

To the people bitching about it being the prologue merely cut, it wouldn't exist if they weren't going to release it as this cheap XBLA title.

To those who just want to keep saying paid demo over and over, fine. Once it comes out I'm sure you'll find something else to hate.

 

[antiquegamer]

One can always hope that stuff like that stop happening.

It's a shame I won't be able to play this. It sounds great (and cheap).

I think it's going to happen more and more with most 3rd party exclusive goes multi-plat this generation. There are several upcoming games that have contents exclusively for PS3version. (I think there are actually more for PS3 this coming fall than 360).

I remember they were saying this one done for 360 fans that make the first game popular or something like that.

 

[G_Berry]

Considering that they are selling this game on Steam and its GFWL compatible with Achievements, I don't see why Case Zero isn't going on PC also?!?

 

[leca]

Our Dead Rising 2: Case Zero 2-Minute Review is up.

While I'm still yet to play it, More of the "same" is exactly what I could ask for from a dead rising game. I can't wait for this to hit XBLA tonight

 

[sweetvar26]

Is there Co-Op in this game at all?

 

[LongDongJunon]

Is there Co-Op in this game at all?

In the full release, Yes.

Case Zero, no sir.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Is there Co-Op in this game at all?

No, not in Case Zero. There will be 2 player online co-op in Dead Rising 2 though.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

This should be up in about 5 hours!

 

[seady]

8.0 at Gamespot. Not bad.
