If you're an achievement whore, there's obvious reasons why there. Also, levelling up in Case Zero allows you to unlock new things in Dead Rising 2 as well as carry all your stats over.

Is it true that there is no difference between the trial and full version other than achievements and the ability to import the save file?

 

[bomb_jack]

So the full game has the same broken save system as the first game?

Did they learn nothing in 4 years?

Man, I hope so. That would be rad.

no no friend. you've misunderstood. i wasnt calling Case 0 a demo.

i was saying i dont need a demo for Case 0. im just going to purchase it before i bother trying the trial.

How exactly is it broken?, a pain in the arse sure but it's hardly broken.

It could be a lot better. It just sucked the fun out of the game.

Oh! Right! Me too! *brofist*

 

[Aderes]

Does anyone know how big the download is?

They learned the only lesson that they needed to: "Don't listen to people like bomb_jack."

they didnt change it? that's awesome if true.

 

[Nemesis_]

I'm fairly certain it's been tweaked a bit to make it a bit more "Western friendly" or something. But it's largely still the same.

 

[Denzar]

The only difference is that there are now 3 save slots, instead of one.

Small change with a big impact.

You either "get" Dead Rising or you don't.

Oh, that sucks.

 

[consoul]

Weak-ass focus groups FTL. I'll be using 1 slot.
The original save system was a key piece of the game design. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

 

[Coxswain]

Three slots that you can choose from/swap between in the middle of a game? That kinda sucks.
Although if it's three slots so that you can start a fresh game from level 1 without deleting all your data, that would be pretty fucking awesome.

 

[Cronen]

So is the game still out today?

People complained about a friend coming over wanting to play, and not wanting to create a profile just for them. Best of both worlds really, since people can stick to one save if they want.

 

[Notorious_Roy]

Yes, but it's not online yet.

This must be one of the worst reviews I have ever seen on GT. It almost tells you nothing about what they actually think of the game except for the little comment at the end.

 

[Denzar]

I love the addition of ragdolls. Extra satisfaction B)

Any news on the size of the download?

I thought I saw around 900 MB somewhere, but I'm not sure.

 

[Jeff Stephen]

Does anyone know how big the download is?

672MB judging by the nfo files floating around online.

 

[seady]

I thought XBLA games usually up on Wednesday. How come this is Tuesday?

 

[Aaron]

It's not an XBLA game.

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

My Xbox 360 HDD must arrive soon so that I can download this

 

[Notorious_Roy]

If it comes up on Xbox.com, can someone post a direct link to it? Thank you.

[AgentOtaku]

German compatriots, need to know if this is blocked for US consoles like NAOW!

 

[Nemesis_]

Playing Vanquish while this downloads.

 

[burgerdog]

Playing it now, I only played the demo for dead rising 1 so no idea what to expect.

 

[Jucksalbe]

I'm downloading the demo right now. So at least that is working (using an US account on a PAL console).

[Numpt3]

Well the demo works in the UK but when I try to unlock the full game I get an error code :/

 

[hitoshi]

!!!

I was able to download it from Hungary (two countries away) and we are usually blocked from 18+ contents - but i can not purchase the full version, when i try it gives me az Information can not be retrieved from Xbox Live messeage. Probably because of the problems LIVE have been experiencing in the last couple of hours. Or i hope so because i REALLY want to buy it....

 

[burgerdog]

Holy shit, one 10 minute cutscene later I can finally play.

[Numpt3]

Oooh, some of the graphics whores are going to have a field day with this one. :lol

 

[Mafro]

It isn't up on the UK store, and that link a few posts up is just hanging.

 

[burgerdog]

Oooh, some of the graphics whores are going to have a filed day with this one. :lol

The shadows are so bad. So I died in the demo and there's no retry, got booted to the main menu.

 

[darkressurection]

Man, I liked the demo I just wish I had money to get some MS Points. :/

 

[Autofokus]

afaik + an automatic save-prompt after every closed (sub-)case.


Had no problems with the save system in DR1, but they better fixed those crappy controls (guns) and survivor AI.
