I'd try but apparently my samsung S2 is not combatible.
The app store tells me so.

You are not alone. I can't figure it out either.

You get in through the sewer.

Yep, works flawlessly on both my Lumia and Galaxy Tab.
Haven't had a chance to play today, been busy with other stuff but boy the itch is pretty damn strong. Will be playing for the next few hours I think...

Follow your main objective to get to the sewers and you'll come out in the graveyard. Took me awhile too.
Hmm weird, those locked boxes are smartglass specific no? Do you start the companion app before you start the game? I just have the home button and the logo, seems frozen.
Miles Quaritch

Yep, pretty sure you get the codes through smartglass.
I usually start it after the game has finished loading and it loads straight into the menu. maybe try to re-sync smartglass with the XB1?

So GAF, EDGE said that the day one patch will lock the game to a steady 30 fps. Can anyone confirm?
Miles Quaritch

It's pretty stable, but I noticed some slight dips last night when driving through the hordes on the bridge. (in fairness, the hordes were massive and ploughing through them in a car at high speed was always going to cause some issues.)
Haven't noticed any texture pop in issues yet either.

Wow...that´s great news, thanks! Gonna get the game tomorrow..can´t wait.

I should point out I'm not very sensitive to frame-rate drops, etc. I know some people are very sensitive to them, so it might be that the frame-rate isn't solid, I'm just not as sensitive to those drops/issues.
Which area?
It's in the Sunset Hills area somewhere, can't remember the exact spot.
Miles Quaritch
Member
Ah, thanks. I'll see if I notice any big drops/issues...

Just had to restart nightmare mode, don't forget about the daily timer people who are playing on that difficulty and doing sidequests! It goes down really fast.
I also searched but you simply tap Y or hold it.

That was going to be my last resort. It's so hard to look around when you have hundreds of zombies tapping you on the shoulder saying, Hi, good sir, may I eat your brains?" haha

Derfeef, Miles Quaritch...I've failed you. I still have not started this game yet! Hoping to get to it later today. Tell me you both love it!?
Miles Quaritch
Member
Yep, I'm madly in love with it. Everything about it just amazing. I'm currently on my first, standard playthrough and while I do miss the urgency the timer brought to the gameplay, there's still moments where it rears it head with side missions.
Smartglass is pretty damn great too. Fantastic use of the second screen.

Awesome. My Samsung galaxy 2 say it isn't supported in the app store so I sadly can't use that.
Awesome to hear! Thank you both.This game is pretty great yeah

This game doesn't have time limits correct? That's the only thing I didn't like about DR2
Miles Quaritch
Member
Start DR3, once it's loaded (in game), start smartglass and there should be an option at the bottom of the screen to start the DR3 companion app. That's what I've been using so far and it loads without issue.
You have to tag them on the map. If you find a chainsaw, tag its location and you can look up where it is at any time. (although you will rarely use this as once you pick up an item, it's available from your locker at any time and in unlimited quantities)

It does and doesn't. The campaign isn't timed as it was in previous games, but the various side missions are all timed. Haven't let one run down to see what happens though...

But what about the 7 day countdown in the main quest?
Xbox One purchase justi-freaking-fied.
Played about an hour and had a blast. It's so smooth. I played DR2 about a month or two ago and the engine upgrade is massive.
When you get to the tail end of that street and you swing the camera back around. So many zombies. So many. I spent most of that hour just killing things here and in the town proper.
Couple short things though:
-gonna have to turn the brightness up when I get back on, pretty dark.
-having to find and unlock blueprints in order to use them is a little eeeehhh. Being able to do it on the fly is yyyyyyaaaaa.
-I guess I spent too much time killing undead in that tutorial area because I lost some dude named Duncan. Welp.
So many zombies.

It's linked to progression. If you decided to mess around for hours on end and not do a single campaign mission, the timer won't run down as it did in previous games. (this is on standard, haven't touched nightmare yet)
Chance Hale

It's really, really silly that you can't have a mustache and glasses on at the same time. Make glasses/facial head a separate category please Capcom!
And on Nightmare the bomb timer ticks down constantly just while you're roaming.

Fantastic pics.
IGN put up a fantastic video explaining how the combo categories work. Recommended watch...

Yeah, there's a lot more verticality/platforming in this compared to previous titles. I like it, but it can be a little frustrating, especially in the more built up areas where it can take some time to figure out how to get up there.
Did you manage to get the app working?

I'm pretty sure the timer is still going down. I'm using the companion app and I can see it slowly counting down
Miles Quaritch

Works on the phone now but I can't find it on the tablet, oh well.
I play with headphones so the calling stuff is a little bit counter-productive
Ah, well at least it works!

Are you playing standard or nightmare? I haven't properly checked, but I didn't notice any countdown timer on the app when I was playing earlier.

My biggest complaint is that the game is way too easy. Im on day 5 now and Ive only died once (because I didnt get out of my burning car)
When you reach level 50 you must basically be invincible. Health fully regenerates, cars dont take damage, use all books at the same time, unlimited stamina, way more damage and ammo etc. Im guessing playing in coop makes it a lot easier as well.
Whats different in nightmare mode ?

Well I had a big "Day 3" popup when I roamed the city mindlessly, maybe there is a timmer and you just have more time on Story mode?
For my shots, this time I used the X1's default display and increased the gamma even further.

Zombies are more deadly, you lose checkpoints/save anywhere and of course there's the timer. I can't imagine many people getting to level 50 before their nightmare play-through unless they make a concious effort to grind for a few hours....

When will people be able to join my game? I just passed the point in which
I returned the key for the airplane.
yeah but right now I need a chainsaw. Where can I find one? Just wander around looking? If it were DR1, for example, I'd look for HARDWARE STORE on the map or something.
