Ah, but are you really into that kind of game, or is this more your fantasizing about what you'd like to do to a room filled with demanding managers, idiotic marketers, and uptight publishers?DeanoC said:
Dead Rising demo today?

The shotgun does have a nice, satisfying feel.DeanoC said:
The writing seems well done. I thought this particular line in the intro was very funny:
Girl: (Handing main character her gun) You know how to use this?
Guy: Kinda. I've covered wars, you know.
Also, anyone else running around just trying on shoes? No? Oh. Neither am I.

The bowling ball makes a pretty satisfying sound also. But my favorite weapon so far is still the knife you get from the zombies in the yellow shirts. Those do quite a bit of damage and you can kill a bunch very quickly.
I've only played it a bit (it came down late last night, need faster broadband ), I'm liking the hoe, there heads pop off nicely Think I shall go find the katana tonight...
And as for imagining its managers and publishers, nah where the fun in even dumber creatures than zombies ;-)

One thing that video shows for sure... you may have a bazillion weapons to choose from, but you look pretty retarded when you have one--maybe two--swing animations with them. 
Well, you should certainly be able to go to, like, a Sam Goody's and start PLAYING some for your amusement!
Im loving this game already, controls are suitable, gameplay is fun and you can muck about anyway you can. Theres lot of things in it to make the game more 'in-depth', espically things like taking pictures of certain things, trying to get to the next level before the game ends etc. Just making challanges for myself as the demo has no aim to it..

It's pretty fun. :smile:
The shopping cart is a nice touch, and the animations are better than I thought they would be. Tons of characters on-screen at once doing funny things. The detail on the characters faces is the best I've seen; in-game they look just the same as they do in the cutscenes. You can go practically anywhere you see, which is great. The environment is very interactive; sitting a frying pan on a burner then taking it off and burning zombies' faces with it is kinda cool.
However, I had very high expectations for this game and it fails me in a number of areas:
The hitch in the framerate when you sling the sledgehammer is mercilessly annoying. And the lighting in the game is pretty poor, which is a major disappointment. If this game had decent lighting it just might be the best looking game on the system. As it stands, games like Kameo and Ghost Recon still look better because of some nice HDR effects that Dead Rising very obviously lacks. The game has good reflections with the water (some very nice water effects) and off the tile flooring but it just lacks light. The entire mall is too dark.
Despite these issues, I'll be picking it up today. It impressed me enough to give it a run-through.

Wow.. that's just crazy.
I'd never buy a game that after playing the demo left me feeling in any way failed or disappointed.
You either have a great deal more disposable income than I do, or you expect greatness from things and settle for mediocrity on a constant basis.
Perhaps both?
It just surprises me to read a review of a demo that says the game fails to impress you, yet you're going to go buy it the day it comes out.
I only buy games that I've either 1) played and thought were awesome or 2) hadn't played before and cross my fingers or 3) are forced too because a new season has started
