The graphics does not make the game
The sound does not make the game
The lifespan does not make the game
The gameplay does not make the game

FRAMERATE MAKES THE GAME!!!

Find the coffee shop on the 2nd floor. Why? Because one side of the cafe is a half wall that overlooks the lower floor. I don't think I need to tell you what to do from there.

Okay, I'll make a suggestion. Soda cans. Whipped at a zombie's head from 25 feet up. Sends 'em reeling. *pees pants with glee*

I'm in two minds about whether or not to leave right now and buy a 360 on the way home.
Do it :lol

This game is superb. Best 360 game ever! I can't believe how much fun it is. My favourite bit so far is throwing my sledgehammer at a zombie who was lying on the floor. It bounced off a coffee table, and hit him on the head. He groaned and then died:lol

Capcom > everyone

DO IT.

The zombies don't seem to be able to climb up the fountain in the middle of the entrance hall, nice safe place you can attack from.

Did anyone go into the movie theatre yet :D

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.

man, I tried to do some crowd walking and got freaking mauled by like 20 of them

btw, does anyone actually know where the brad guy is? I've played through the demo like 5 times now and I have yet to save him

edit: nevermind, I just noticed it says at the end of the demo that you have to buy the game to find brad :lol

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
awww nothing like hitting zombies with a baseball bat,the longer you hold the button down the harder he swings for the fences :D

Skateboarding down a flight of stairs into a massive zombie crowd and coming out alive with little health is nerve racking.

Whoa, I wish I would have taken a look here before heading to work. :(

What's the framerate? 30 or 60? It sounds rock solid, so it's not a big deal, but I'm still curious. Also, how big is the download?

they're telling me it's 30+motion blur

Bowling. Ball. :D

I have to delete the demo now. I'll play this for 30 hours between now and Tuesday and wear it out.


(edit: Oh yeah, if you find the frying pan, heat it up on the stove. Zombie face burning action (!!) and it gives you bonus points or something. That's gonna be the replay value of this, I think. Kind of like an arcade game. Can you last longer next time? Can you get more points? Can you find more secrets? Etc.)

Golf club f-ing rules!

haha shit you can hold down the right trigger and it goes into a side shot like you're playing a golf game. You rotate then hold down the X button to get a nice swing.

zombie golf :D

OUTSIDE ROASTMASTERS

I read the other post about throwing soda cans off the balcony so I checked it out (but I chose to throw chairs instead) and found the katana on the awning

sure beats the womens purse I was using before :D

At the end of the demo, the Promos confirm this. Leaderboards will be tracking your points and how long you last WORLDWIDE. XBL FTMFW.

Sounds good to me. That's what I thought, but someone said "high framerate" and I thought maybe, just maybe, they went all out on this one. 30 + blur is totally fine with me, though.

I can't believe I found out about this so early this morning. I won't be able to play it until late this evening, as I have plans right after work. It will be sweet, though. :D

Not just for this game I hope

Nah, I was already looking forward to Lost Planet, GOW, Blue Dragon, PSU, Mass Effect, Tenchu, Lost Odyssey, Project Sylpheed, Cry-On, Halo 3, NG2. etc (not including the slew of solid 360 titles already out)...

Its just that with the recent announcement of C:SOTN on XBLA, and Dead Rising kicking major zombie ass.. I've been pushed over the edge.

I keep telling everyone MSN Alerts can come in handy. If you have Windows, you have MSN messenger. Major Nelson set up his site to send out an MSN alert everytime it updates about a week back. You can specify what MSN alerts you want sent to your cell phone. I love getting text message updates of the XBox360 news.

I know it sounds geeky, but if you're like me and you're a busy professional in your alter ego, this helps a lot. That's why I'm hyped for "Live Anywhere", but I'm taking this thread off topic........

I can't get a thing done here at work becuase I keep peeking in this thread and reading impressions. I set my console to download as I left for work this morning and the anticipation is KILLING me. Maybe I can leave early today or soemthing. ;)
 
ProTip #1: ABC. Always Be Carrying. Make sure your slots are always full. You don't want to be caught holding the bag when your sledge craps out.

ProTip #2: The game is nice enough to put a book icon on the weapon display if you're using one that's enhanced by a book you're holding onto.

ALSO

The Promo confirms downloadable Rare Weapon Keys on Marketplace. Microtransactions For The F--

*RAWR!*

Do the weapons give out? I was wondering that, but too busy switching between weapons myself to stick with one long enough to find out.


My protip, if you find the shopping cart, hold X, don't just press it. He'll continually run, mowing mothereffin' zombies down in front of him.

You never know, they might be free. Namco made it so the cars in Ridge Racer 6 were free. Different company but you never know.

Please be free!!! :(

actually, when I swing the sledge hammer horizontally (hold button) into zombies the game seems to hiccup every time. I guess its a bug or something? anyone else have the same issue?

when did you get that tag ? :D

Yeah, i thought they were aiming for 60, that's what i heard. The latest trailer on the marketplace could have passed for 60 (for a 30 fps encoding of a 60fps source, that is), but anyway, it's good enough and it sounds like it's rock solid.

it's probably intentional, like in Zelda where stronger hits make the game pause for a while
