Dead Rising for Wii

[sfried]

What was that you said? Wii?

Famitsu confrms a Dead Rising port for Wii. Given Capcom's record with ports...

 

[sfried]

In case I'm still not believed, this info comes from Famitsu.

Also, according to translations, development started right after RE4Wii.

Don't Dead Rising, DMC4 and Lost Planet all run on the same engine?

 

[eastmen]

yup , i'm sure we will see all of them in the future

Great game for the Wii to pick up. Hopefully it won't be a straight port and they'll make some changes to fix some of the annoying aspects of the game. All those weird wrestling moves should be interesting with the Wiimote.

How they hell is the Wii going to handle having hundreds of zombies on screen at once?

Not very well, I would assume.

They must have figured something out, because the game wouldn't really work unless you were being swarmed. That's one of the main challenges in the game. If the game has a lot of empty hallways, it'll be pretty easy to escort the other survivors back to the security room.

Unless it's a different Dead Rising game. Maybe it'll be set in a different location with tighter spaces.

Probably the same way the Gamecube handled swarms of TIEs and Pikmin. That extra 64 MB of RAM can't hurt, either. It probably won't be quite as many as the 360 version or have tons of detail in the environments, but putting a good number of characters on screen shoudln't be a huge issue.

I don't know if you've played Dead Rising or not, but there are sections, most notably the tunnels under the mall, where there are hordes of zombies that are nearly impassable on foot. That's why you get the ability to walk across the zombies' heads. I've never sat and counted, but it looks like 100+ on screen at once. It would take a lot from the game if the Wii version had crowds that were significantly more sparse.

One thing I really hope the Wii will help with is the aiming controls. The aiming control is garbage and inconsistently. You use one stick to point the camera and the other stick to aim with the gun. You can walk and aim with the camera, but not with the gun. It's pretty stupid. I really hope in the Wii edition you can walk while shooting, and both the camera and gun use the IR for aiming.

They said something about the controls being more like RE4. I never played DR. I rather have Lost Planet to be quite honest.

Well you can look forward to disemboweling or decapitating a zombie with your bare hands(wiimote).

Looking good ey?

Untill you look at some other screenies

 

[Scott_Arm]

In the 2nd last pic you can see zombies in the distance, so the zombies don't pop-in as you get close. We'll just have to wait and see how many they can put on the screen at once. In that shot there aren't too many, but early in the game there are fewer zombies around, especially in that part of the mall. I think they'll have to cut back on the numbers quite a bit, or judging from the graphics, they'll just make it look crap enough that they can handle more zombies on screen.

Dead Rising Wii - Weapons Clip

A new gameplay video from the Wii version of Dead Rising. Zombie killing game makes its way to the Wii. Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop from Capcom is a port of the 360 version with less zombies, a new POV and Wii-only content.

makes sense to bring a game like this to the Wii, go Capcom

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

It looks really ugly even in that small video. Dont tell me they really cant do anything better than this with wii? This looks like the godfather on ps2.

Less zombies? What's the point? I'd rather play the game with the zombies rendered as Miis then play the game with crappy looking realistic zombies in reduced numbers.

Actually, the game would be pretty awesome done in Miis if it still had the gore and the crazy moves.

Not just fewer zombies, but I think even the 'restart over and over' mechanic was scrapped for something more linear.

Lol, bloody Mii's ftw!!!

Or better yet, zombie Mii's on parade! If only Nintendo had a sense of humor.

 

[I.S.T.]

This looks worse than most PS2 games...

THink about that though? If your friends Miis starting showing up in your mall, and you could tear off their heads and disembowel them ... That would pretty much be the best game ever. Anyone want to start a game studio to work on this?
