pssh save complaint - get a effing skateboard or bicycle and haul ass (shopping cart, too!)

Can you push a shopping cart and then jump in and ride it when it has some momentum? That would be cool.

 

[sangreal]

That map is missing one cut scene point (the maintenance room on the first floor).

Where do you get the key for it?

Can you push a shopping cart and then jump in and ride it when it has some momentum? That would be cool.

No, but you can always pick it up and throw it at a zombie in anger over this missing feature

 

[Shogmaster]

Hey Kobey, can you confirm the nature of this save thing? Can I not have two seperate Save Strings?

Who cares? Make free silver accounts for your friends/roommates' save files.

Hey Kobey, can you confirm the nature of this save thing? Can I not have two seperate Save Strings?

If you are worried about the save file, remember, all XBOX360 games use the profile system. Just create a different profile and you two can choose who uses which one. Each profile will have its own save.

 

[Shogmaster]

Where do you get the key for it?

I didn't need a key. Maybe it was called something else, but it was a door with "exit" sign over it.

I tried to open it and it said I needed the maintenance key or something

"Maintenance Tunnel Key"

its the room by the bathrooms, right?

No. Wrong door. It was sort of in the middle of that section of the mall.

edit: Sorry guys, it's the "Warehouse" door, right by where the demo starts, not the maintenance room.

The first time I died it wasn't from a zombie. I was trying out the skateboard, smacked into a table, and died of embarassment. What I like most about the game are the little touches, like smacking the big servbot head to make it spin, or the way zombies will scramble over a counter. It just feels so polished and fun. Don't care if it's rather simple.

Edit: Almost forgot when I threw the broken handle of the mop and it stuck in the zombie's head, which continued to wander around with a three foot wood pole jutting from its noggin. Just lovely.

 

[soul creator]

I found something I do like!

You can actually hold hands with NPC's to lead them through dangerous area's! Very well done, awesome inverse kinematic animations and shit. And you can give them stuff, for example to raise their health.

bloody ICO ftw

 

[Sho Nuff]

OK, I'm lost. Where am I actually supposed to go? Everything just seems to trigger a cutscene that ends the demo.

 

[Tek]

The reason why the demo rocks so much? You didn't pay a dime for it
So yeah, it's an instant 9. Free stuff almost always tastes so much better.

After factoring in your hard earned $59 for the full game and the newness wares off, you may not agree that it deserves such a high score.

N3 was free and that definitely didnt get a 9 from me!

 

[Shogmaster]

You can't save mark in the demo (or even meet him) I don't think....

 

[D2M15]

VICTORY AT RECESS
TEEN BEACH BRUHAHA

Ohhhh tag me tag me tag meeeee. Please, mods, just one. Either one. I've been good, for goodness' sake.

Warren Spector = old and busted; Dead Rising = the new hottness.

 

[Sho Nuff]

I just got "Erotica" points for panty shots and cleavage shots on a sexy dead zombie.

Good god

 

[Kobold]

Hey Kobey, can you confirm the nature of this save thing? Can I not have two seperate Save Strings?

Yea, you save your current game always on the same savegame (overwrite). Very stupid system! There does seem to be more savearea's you can save at then just the startingpoints I noticed when checking at the map, it's still dumb though...

 

[svenuce]

You can save in any restroom too. Maybe EGM didn't figure that out?

Game is easily a 9/10 for me (free or not on the demo). It does EVERYTHING super well except for the save system and the shooting mechanics.

I dunno, I've played plenty of anticipated free demos where I didn't say "OMG 9!!"

This game will probably be an 8.5/9 for me once I get it. I love how it plays, the online leaderboards should be great, downloadable content, seems to be pretty decent story/dialogue, and the gore pushes it up a few notches too.

 

[Mojovonio]

I can live with a shitty save system and bad NPC AI.

I'm so glad I checked the boards this morning. I ran up and started the DL before I left to school.

You can f***ing hea up a frying pan and melt a zombie's face? jesus. Capcom can have my babies!

so basically two people cant play dead rising on the same 360 or else it will overwrite?

 

[storybook77]

As has been stated before....make another profile for the other person, let him/her play under that profile, and problem is solved.

 

[plagiarize]

no. two people can't play dead rising on the same 'profile' but you can have multiple profiles on the same 360.

edit: beated.

a real time game to me, feels like it should only let you have one save at any given time personally. i'm pretty sure you can just feed the npcs to the zombies if you want too (unless it's a story mission i think). so it shouldn't be too big a deal... plus you don't have to do the story missions (though they do unlock new areas).

sounds like EGM didn't like the realtime thing where things happen at given times whether you're there or not... personally i don't mind the sound of that. you can still play through all three days and get rescued. it's not like the game just ends if you miss a story mission.

 

[Mrbob]

I'm of the opinion that every game should just let you save at anytime. Having to hunt down save points is stupid. But it is only a small complaint. This demo can tide me over too as I won't be getting DR until around the 15th, as I will be leaving for a couple days the day this game is released. :/

 

[Ashodin]

OK, I'm lost. Where am I actually supposed to go? Everything just seems to trigger a cutscene that ends the demo.

That is the point. The demo is to whet your appetite for bad ass boss battles.

I rrrrealllyy want to fight the Religious Nut with the Big Effing Sword. I WANT HIS SWORD.

 

[Razoric]

no. two people can't play dead rising on the same 'profile' buy you can have multiple profiles on the same 360.

oh ok... shit that's fine then. i thought you could only have one save for the entire game for everyone.

why are people complaining then? isnt the game structured as such you are ment to play through multiple times? so if you miss something just go through it again?

doesnt seem that bad to me.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

no. two people can't play dead rising on the same 'profile' buy you can have multiple profiles on the same 360.

Ooooh, you know what, though? We're an Achievement Aware household (half my Oblivion Gamerscore is from her). I guess we'll just have to watch each other play because it would really suck to not have our work contributing to the same pot.

Yeah, if I miss anything, oh well. I'll just have to play through again!

 

[Sho Nuff]

Are there any survivors in the demo?

edit: you can feed the zombies ketchup :lol

 

[Kobold]

so basically two people cant play dead rising on the same 360 or else it will overwrite?

Not on the same profile, no!

It's very 'arcadey' in that sense.

 

[eso76]

Yea, you save your current game always on the same savegame (overwrite). Very stupid system!

It's not stupid, it was obviously going to be like this. Since the game was always meant to force you to choose what to do and what to skip (lots of things it seems) on your first playthrough, they can't let you have different savestates; otherwise you could always go back to your last save and choose to do something different, develop several games in different directions and potentially see everything before completing the game for the first time, which is what the devs didn't want you to.

 

[sammy]

does this demo have the two levels that were at E3? there they had the mall demo, and the hellicopter intro demo that was baddass (the story was actually done very well)

man i wish i was home to download : [

 

[Space Runaway]

Whoa! This is what I like coming home from work to.

 

[sangreal]

I've been doing some cooking:

Ketchup + OJ gave me Nectar. No clue what it does
OJ + OJ = same
Cooking oil + Pie gave me a random boost I think. I got quickstep from it which makes me run fast as hell
Cooking oil + baking ingredients gave me spitfire
Baking ingrediants + pie gave me the same thing
ketchup + baguette = same
cooking oil + cooking oil = same
chips + baking ingredients = same
baguette + pie gave me 'untouchable' which seems to stop zombies from grabbing you
OJ + pie = same

I was dissapointed that the blender would not accept my hunk of flesh

 

[Y2Kev]

I think I am going to buy this now...I will trade in some old things to get it.

 

[123rl]

OMG you can do a flying kick! Press jump and then press X while you're in the air:lol

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I've been doing some cooking:

Ketchup + OJ gave me Nectar. No clue what it does
Cooking oil + Pie gave me a random boost I think. I got quickstep from it which makes me run fast as hell
Cooking oil + baking soda gave me the spitfire but I have no idea how to use it?

:O

WTF. Oblivion Jr FTMFW.

Also, whoever mentioned the Pause Music tip for custom soundtracks? Does not work. You have to STOP the music for the sound to come back and, well, we all know why that won't work. Hopefully in the final game it will just pause the music, like every other 360 game on Earth.

 

[RyuHayate]

So...are you guys enjoying it? I think it's great fun but the only thing I don't like about the demo is that anytime you view a cutscene in another area other than the one you start in the demo ends after it's over.

 

[plagiarize]

spitfire makes your spit really powerful. unequip your weapon, go into aim mode and you can spit on the zombies.

 

[The Innocent X]

Thats kind of the point, to make you buy the game!

 

[sangreal]

ah, thanks

I still have no idea what 'Nectar' does, but it sure lasts awhile

 

[Fess]

Okay I actually thought the game would be boring, I don't like splatter movies and I'm generally against the idea of having blood in games. Why would I like Dead Rising? But man, this is FUN! I'm sitting here with a big grin on my face while playing! I can't even remember when that happened the last time!

Right now I'm thinking this may be the Game of the year for me.

Thanks Capcom. You rule.

 

[sangreal]

has anyone found anything that can go into the oven?

 

[Ironclad]

Now this is what I like to wake up to! Damn, I can't wait to play this. 35% after about 5 minutes so I shouldn't have to wait too much longer. I was already excited, but all of the impressions in this thread are further propelling my need for the demo to finsih downloading. Glad I don't have to be at work for a few hours.

 

[robot]

Only played for about 10 minutes - but man it was so much fun. Seems like there's so much to do in the game...and there's so many freakin zombies! I ran into a music store and got cornered by 2 zombies so I started throing cd cases at them, funny stuff.

jesus. ITEM COMBINATION? This game is the ownage++.

 

[BuckRobotron]

Can't wait to try it later. Always been positive on the potential of this game, and there seems to be a LOT of it here.

 

[Mrbob]

I have to admit I'm a bit shocked at the amount of zombies in the mall. I didn't think it would be this plentiful!

It makes it more fun to mow down a bunch of them with a bowling ball in a group and then take a picture!

Game does look fantastic too. Especially in motion.

 

[Y2Kev]

It looks great. Frank is a lil ugly. He needs spiky hair and more buckles.

I HIT SOMEONE WITH A PURSE. ZOMG.

 

[Warnen]

Capcom make a Dead Rising 2 now, this time the setting must be a theme park!!!

 

[GhaleonEB]

Well of all the things to wake up to!

 

[sangreal]

Cooking oil + Pie gave me a random boost I think. I got quickstep from it which makes me run fast as hell

I tried this drink again and now Frank has an upset stomach

 

[Ashodin]

That demo is so not making it out before the game. But if it did, I'd drop it like The Great Ten dropped John Stewart into the The Great Wall China. OA AIN'T GOT NOTHIN' ON ME.

OWNED.
