Mine was shipped on Tuesday and arrived yesterday... Haven't had chance to try it out yet but I'm really looking forward to giving it a whirl...
Side note: I was planning on getting the Case:0 but wondered if I should play this first or will I be OK to just play through DR:2 and then come back to C:0 at a later date?

I believe somebody asked about that sometime ago
THANK GOD!
Wanted to know this as well. So is it like Lost Planet style but just without hitting A?

I just found some free zombrex
Go to the maintenance room on the north side of Slot Ranch Casino, on top of some boxes on the right hand side, there is some zombrex.

I'm pushing 95% of my monthly cap, and can't sign in until I download that blu-ray HD update.
Problem is, if I do, my internets will be capped for a bit, so no online anyway :lol
Sigh, sony and forced updates.
PS: Are we doing combo items in this thread?
If so, please spoiler them... I think I want to discover most of them on my own.
kthxbye
Anyone watch the making of dvd yet? I guess not, now is the time for playing!Mafro said:
Concerning uk sites sending out the game early : Amazon uk is not part of those it seems... Mine should be shipping before the end of the day, so Monday for me or Saturday if I'm getting lucky.

Download it somewhere else onto USB then install at home? Then use that sweet sweet 5% for online goodness.

My Amazon ordered shipped out yesterday afternoon, I was surprised because they never used to ship until release day, so you'd never get it on time.
onken said:
Mine shipped this morning from Amazon, and I've never had a game later than release day from them. Tried every type of shipping too, and it's always here on the day of release. Even more surprising considering it's shipping to Northern Ireland, which usually adds a day onto the time.

Bizarro. Even when I was living in London (zone 2, no less) I would ALWAYS get it late. In fact the last game I ordered from them was Uncharted 2. A week past release day it still hadn't shown up and I couldn't do jack until a certain amount of time had passed. Eventually it was time up, I complained and they sent me out another copy which took another 2 days to arrive. About a week after that the original showed up. Worst part was having to listen to my friends and colleagues crow about great it was while I was just sitting with my thumb up my ass for TWO FUCKING WEEKS waiting for Amazon to get their shit together.
So yeah basically I never order release day stuff from Amazon, the only reason I did it this time was because I had credit.

Been playing all day and loving the game, but I have to say the framerate is terrible. I'm not usually one to fall over such things, but when it's this bad I take note. Some cutscenes seem to drop down to 10 fps or something, it really is a sight to behold. Also fighting the psychos is no fun, some are really really cheap like
.
Still, the game is great. I haven't found many weapon combos yet, right now I'm focusing on just finishing the game and after that I'm gunning for the achievements, most of which are very fun and doable.
On thing about that though, the gamerscore you get for each achievement is 20, it doesn't matter how hard or easy it is, its always 20. Why not give 10 or 5 for and easy one and compensate by giving harder ones a higher score?
the chef, who knocks you down and jumps on you and when you're still down for the count, he repeats this until you're dead and you have literally no chance to do anything about this. I've managed to defeat him, but it was very frustrating

Every achievement in the first game was worth 20 as well, if I remember correctly.eXistor said:

My question:
Is it still possible to totally skip the CASE file missions like in the first game? Part of me feels like, since the Zombrex stuff is part of the cases that you won't be able to.

He's got the 360 version. I only noticed the game dropping to 10fps level in one certain cutscene ( mailman ) and I was like wow.
Aside from that, yes the fps in the game is not locked, and it does drop, especially when there are loads of zombies on screen. It can be a little annoying but I'm usually not too upset about fps in games. It doesn't really affect my performance in the game and I'm really enjoying it.
So if you're one who must have a stable framerate, I think you're better off with the pc version ( which I'm guessing is going to be pretty great, but that's just a guess ). If you can deal with slight framedrops every now and then, 360 or ps3 is the way to go.

As long as it's not locked at 30fps. That's such a common trend these days that I don't even pre-order PC games anymore.MMaRsu said:

Did you write this? If so, why did you say nothing at ALL about the framerate? Seems like a pretty big deal to me personally.
I hate it when reviewers gloss over framerate problems or don't even mention it at all. Did they allow you to post it before the embargo was up cause you gave it a good score too?

Completed the storyline. Got the game on Monday and achieved the S-ending a few hours ago at level 31. I intend to write down a few gameplay impressions later.
For instance: the framerate takes quite a hit when low-res fire (funnily enough) or an explosion is being rendered and even Terror is Reality multiplayer (where in some mini-games not a whole lot is going on) doesn't run nearly as smooth as you'd initially think. It kind of reminds me of Borderlands' performance on consoles. There are also other graphical issues, minor ones like occasional pop-up or very slight pop-in, and it could be that v-sync is another reason (hardly noticed screen-tearing if any at all) why the framerate dipped as often as it did for me, so I'm curious to see how the PC version turns out. More or less because Blue Castle mostly stuck to developing console games before if I recall correctly. Could easily be wrong about that, though.
Mind you, the framerate rarely interfered with the gameplay barring a chase scene as well as one boss fight, and it did not ruin the game anyhow. For me at least. That said, I'd like to see Dead Rising 3 run on an upgraded MT Framework if that'd make any difference next time around.

Actually, the game does regularly dip below the 30 fps mark and probably below 20 at some points in the campaign too. It's even worse in very specific cutscenes. While it definitely looks better than Case Zero, I wouldn't say the performance has noticeably improved. If it did, it's only a marginal difference.Daigoro said:
I know tech talk will probably be frowned upon in this thread considering there's a comparison thread elsewhere, but I'm not entirely sure the low framerate is solely caused by the number of zombies displayed on-screen. Sure, when a relatively small area is practically packed shoulder-to-shoulder (such as an area close to the very end of the storyline) with zombies, similar to the final area of Dead Rising 1 leading up to the last boss fight, the framerate will take an additional hit, but it seems to me the engine just isn't particularly solid. Either that, or the developer's didn't get enough time to further optimize the Xbox 360 version, which is the only one I played.MMaRsu said:

Around case 3-1 spoilers:
Anyone wanna give me a hint where I can get some Zombrex for Katey's second dose AND the bleeding guy? I got the one off the Paramedic and I'm aware that the pawn shop sells some but I don't have nearly enough money. Or does anyone know how I can get about 17k in a short amount of time?
