Dead Rising Wii Screens: Where Did All The Zombies Go?

35
Kotaku: To men huddled around the big tables at Capcom HQ, the idea of porting yet another big-selling, zombie-based title to the Wii must sound like a no-brainer! You've got to wonder, though, whether they consulted with the tech guys before pushing forward with the project. Because as far as the 360 version was concerned, the thing that stopped it from being an awful beat-em up and made it such an awesome game were the hundreds of zombies the 360 could process. From these screens, it doesn't look like the Wii can do hundreds. It can do dozens. Maybe.

Maybe they should replace the zombies with polygonal Miis, that way the Wii should be able to process a hundred of them.

Actually, Dead Rising and Crackdown are the only reasons i want to buy a 360, because they are mature but funny games and there is no equivalent on PS3.

It would be logical to say that Capcom would port Dead Rising on PS3 since PS3 and 360 have the (almost) same technological advantage (i know, PS3 has the CELL, but yet, PS3 and 360 can easily handle each other games). But they didn't and preferred to curtail their game to make it a sub-evolved version.

Sangria, you raise a valid point about the graphics power. My only guess is that Capcom was more interested in fiddling with the controls than actually improving the 360 version.

I was hoping for something a bit better then that, I mean there must be a reason to why would Capcom would chose the wii. Unless it wants to milk Dead rising to fullest with Wii huge install base and hardcore gamers itching to have a good game that came from X360.

Capcom choose the Wii because they feel that this is the machine that they can milk the most!

"made it such an awesome game were the hundreds of zombies"
QFTW! As Kotaku says, they probably didn't even think about quality when announced the game for Wii. Dead Rising isn't just meant for Wii. It's too violent and M rated for Wii.

Hopefully Dead Rising 2 returns to 360 (and PS3).

I'm not so sure how it would play, and I haven't played this game in a while, but the number of zombies I'm seeing look fine enough. I loved this game, and it makes sense that they'd released it for Wii because that's where the money is.

A friend of mine let me borrow this game about a month ago...I haven't even put it in the 360 yet. Crackdown, I did get for the Halo 3 Beta, it turns out that game is quite awesome!

That picture ( not between those) of the character being in the vegetable section showed lots of zombies. OR was that a 360 screen?

Capcom did say they wanted it to be "easier" in the beginning, who knows how much will enter the mall by the end....

but whatever, Game was fun on the 360....as long they kept it fun imma gonna get it.

I wish Nintendo would realise that it's not just graphics that benefit from a good system. With a more powerful CPU you can have more things happening at once, unlike this. I know the Wii was a gamble so they made it weak in case it was a failure, but come on guys, it's time to release the real console now.

Most Wii buyers will get confused, its a BAD plan to do it now.

18 - Lets face it...
...the only thing remotely next-gen about the Wii is the....remote. everything else is basically on par with the original Xbox.

They should not even bother with these types of games on the Wii as all it does it show just how last gen it really is. They should do what they do with the Nintendo DS, make games that utilise that platform for what it is. If they had to release DR on the Wii then they should have changed it to maybe be a fixed camera, isometric type game. Mind you that still does not address the lack of on-screen action which is what really helped make the game on the 360.
