Will you get Dead Rising Wii?

Ok, after watching footage from the 360 version and the Wii version it's sad to know that they couldn't pull more out of it. I really like the 360 version because of the amount of zombies on screen at once. At times on the Wii version there are quite a lot but just not as much as the 360 version. We can all understand why but I thought that wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

The Wii version seems like more of an exploration version since the mall isn't as full of zombies as the 360 version. Sometimes the actions look wonky and forced too. I really hoped that the Wii version would look almost as good as the 360 version or at least polished but it doesn't even look polished in 480p. This is a big disappointment for me. It does have a better saving system than the 360 version but you're losing a lot of features. I've been looking for a reason to get this game but so far I don't see any real reason to. It comes out the end of February so IGN should be reviewing it in about 2-3 weeks. I wonder what they'll give it? Will you guys be getting Dead Rising?

Well, it definitely is different...

Although, I don't know if this difference is a good thing or a bad thing. I suppose I'll have to wait and see what IGN has to say about the game.

No

You in a mall with hundreds of zombies has been watered down to you and one zombie that doesn't like you very much

No thank you

I think it's unfair to call it a lazy port. I don't think the Wii could ever pull off something on the scale of the original Dead Rising. However, i'm still waiting for some reviews to pop up. This game still looks fun to play in its own right. Raiko101

Day one purchase for me:D I can't believe you guys complain everyday about Wii need a hardcore game. Guess what Dead Rising is pretty damn hardcore. Don't except Dead Sapce Wii to be super impressive like the consoles enmies but it will be good!

Wii need a hardcore game. Guess what Dead Rising is pretty damn hardcore.

No such thing as a hardcore game

Your argument just went out the window, with all but one of the zombies in the Wii version

I didn't like the original so I'm sure I wont like this watered down port.

I don't get it. Nobody asked for this game. Nobody even thought about it.

I have seen people mention, time and time again, that they want games like Street Fighter IV, RE5, and to a lesser extent, Bionic Commando, but I've never seen anybody ask for this.

If it does poorly in reviews, I can easily see this game getting less than 100k sales, lifetime. Perhaps Capcom will learn their lesson.

Its a lazy port so a no from me...better not be lazy next time Capcom.maxgil2

No. It's an absolutely lazy port. They're using the RE4 engine, which the PS2 ran competently enough. Dead Rising looks better than RE4 did on PS2, but not by enough to convince me that they couldn't have crammed a hell of a lot more zombies on screen than they did in this one.colecoavenger

I heard they were trying to fit in more zombies on screen at one time. Did that ever happen?Chojuto

No.

WTH possessed CAPCOM to think people wanted DR on the Wii in the first place!? Why not RE5 of Street Fighter 4....

I wonder what they'll give it?

Honestly, they should focus on original games and stop porting games to the Wii. I don't care if they port them up (PS2 to Wii) or down (HD consoles to Wii). Enough is enough. The only "port" (more like multi platform, actually) they should be working on is Street Fighter IV for the Wii, and it would take almost no effort, considering that they could use a slightly modified version of the Tatsunoko vs Capcom engine, change the characters and call it a day. And the reason I'm saying this is because, back in the 90s, the name Street Fighter used to imply that you would eventually see the game on pretty much every console and handheld, regardless of hardware limitations. That was part of its appeal.

Now, back to the original games issue... What the hell happened to Spyborgs? It actually looked kind of neat. Instead of failing with this whole Dead Rising thing, they should have hyped Spyborgs way more.

I've heard you can't even jump in the game so it has me worried.

However, if the AI of the Zombies is upped and they can keep the numbers up I don't actually think it looks like that bad of a port. The original DR on the 360 was tech showcase it was basically a case of just how many AI entities can we get in one place at one time, problem was they were all thick.

I think though they could have made it an RE game and linked the two games into the RE universer quite effectively and given it more of an RE feel.

My jury is out I'll wait for the reviews and then end up getting it when it's about £9.99 I think in the mean time I can get the original for £8 s/h

Yup, day 1 for me. Even though I have the 360 version, this still looks fun. Plus, i'm excited that there's FINALLY another game for Wii that uses the RE4 Wii Edition engine and control scheme. The fact that Capcom is taking that engine and applying it to the Dead Rising IP will make it feel like a fresh game. I still find it EXTREMELY odd that no other company has expanded upon what RE4 started on the Wii. Hopefully EA can make good on that with the Wii version of Dead Space.

No.
