Today, Capcom released the first images of the Wii version of Dead Rising, which was announced at E3. Some of the images appear to be coming from cutscenes and look better then the others.

This and Bikini Zombie Slayers should prove to be mindless fun ;)

if they get the text font right for the wii version

ReBurn5796d ago

Yeah, I don't see how people without an HDTV were able to play the 360 version.

kosha5797d ago

I can only imagine how fun dead rising is gonna be on wii seeing as i havent got one.

deeznuts5797d ago

I have a Wii. And just bought a 360. Should I get this game? Wait? I'm a graphics whore (why give it up if you don't have to?) so ...

Dannagar5797d ago (Edited 5797d ago )

With the exception of the lower resolution, it looks very similar to Xbox 360 version.

Domenikos5797d ago

I want to see gameplay mechanics....

Grephics deparment is kinda "out of my interest" when the Wii comes to my mind.

tplarkin75797d ago

Dead Rising never pushed the 360, but those look too good to be on Wii.

Dannagar5797d ago

@tplarkin7
I'm one achievement away from 1000 achievements on the Xbox 360 version. So I've had many hours staring at the 360 version. It's obvious by the resolution and the low res texture maps that this isn't the 360 version. But for the Wii, this looks top notch. I re-bought Resident Evil 4 for the Wii and it was worth re-experiencing. I intend on re-buying Dead Rising for Wii. I'm sure it will be good.

Those are Xbox 360 images. I attached Xbox 360 images which are similar or identical!

The Carlito pic is from Gamespot.com. The Isabella pic and Chopper pic is from http://www.visualwalkthroug...

All the Cut Scenes are video from the 360 version.
The gameplay is actually Wii graphics.

tplarkin75797d ago

These were presented as "images from the Wii version". Also, if you look at the Isabella images. They are literally the same. The 360 cut-scenes were 100% real time. Even if the Wii uses video for the cut-scenes, the resolution will be 480p max. The image of Isabella should look blurrier, but it doesn't.

nirwanda5797d ago (Edited 5797d ago )

capcom often get the best out of hardware they have had alot of practice with similar hardware with the graphically amazing (for the time) resi evil games character models are as good as resi evil 0/4 but am having trouble imagining this quality with 3000 plus zombies.

iamtehpwn5797d ago (Edited 5797d ago )

That is roughly 480. 480 itself isn't really "blurry", its just that typically lower resolution textures are used, so it looks blurry. The cut scenes were Real time in the 360 version, However, they it appears obvious they are recording video of the cut scenes, and then putting them on the disc.

If that was the case, then by that logic, if you watched a movie like Advent Children on DVD (Which is 480), it would look terrible. But it doesn't (not as good as it would at 720 or 1080), However, it's because of the high resolution textures and rendering that it looks soft.

tplarkin75797d ago

Dead Rising runs at 720p or higher on 360 (1280x720). The Wii is 480p (640x480).

I said "blurrier". 480p is blurrier than 720p, yet the supposed Wii images look identical to the 360 pics.

Canceled Dead Rising: Dia De Los Muertos Gameplay Surfaces Online

Videos of the canceled Dead Rising: Dia De Los Muertos have come to light, giving us a look into what the game could have been.

Underpants468d ago

Shame loved the Dead Rising series. Even enjoyed 4 but not sure why they removed the campain co op.

TheColbertinator468d ago

A zombie lover like me will always wait for a new Dead Rising.

hotnickles468d ago

Dead rising 1 was one of my favorite games back in the day. I never got into the others like I did DR1. DR2 was ok but 3 and 4 were kinda lame.

Kakyouin468d ago

Absolutely agree with you 100%. 1 was A MASTERPIECE even though it had several things that were not that good. But still a very solid title. And the ending was EPIC.

hotnickles468d ago (Edited 468d ago )

I agree. I’ll never forget grinding the zombies in the parking tunnels to get the mega buster weapon. Its uniqueness will always stand out to me and is high up on my all-times.

MasterChief3624468d ago (Edited 468d ago )

When I got over the rather bland art direction of Dead Rising 3, I actually fell in love with that one. Dead Rising 4 on the other hand.... :(

It's a real shame the Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + Alpha DLC isn't available on PC. It was one of the best DLCs I've ever played, it was so fun! But alas... I no longer have my Xbox One :(

hotnickles468d ago

I should give it another try on the newer Xbox controllers. I remember jumping over to the Xbox controller was a big peeve for me. I loved the 360 controller and dead rising was one of my very first games on it. The Xbox one controller felt cheaply and loose and it bugged me. I don’t feel that way with the series x one.

Kakyouin467d ago

Never played 3 or 4 but I read they weren't the same. As for 1 I guess the character played the "path of the hero" so well, no other title could keep it up with. 2 had to have another instance with Frank. And that's what I loved about the first: Frank was a good for nothing and still was the hero. He was not funny, he was not the hero everybody wanted. He was just there "for a good story". And the psychos..... my goodness!! Adam, the snipers, the three prisoners on the garden, the cult! MY GOODNESS!

Nebaku468d ago

Good Riddance. Capcom Vancouver's entries are a big stain on what was a great, charming game series.

The ideas shown here are the pinnacle of their ineptness. Yeah, let's remove items on the ground, a core mechanic to the franchise, and one that people would show they still love in BOTW 2 years later.

Dead Rising Is Proof That Sometimes You Shouldn’t Listen To Feedback

TheGamer Writes "Dead Rising first burst onto the scene 16 years ago. At the time the game was a groundbreaking technical achievement, and a great showpiece for the then-new Xbox 360 due to how many zombies it could cram onto the screen at once. However, it was more than a mere tech-demo. Dead Rising captivated fans with engaging gameplay that allowed you to use almost anything as a weapon, packing that choice with unique bosses and an iconic protagonist in Frank West."

I loved DR1 and 2. 3 was pretty decent, but 4 was just bad.

traqueia555d ago (Edited 555d ago )

I definitely agree.

What I always found amazing in DR1 was how it was a survival game first and a sandbox game second, and not the other way around...

Your weapons were resources for specific situations, and you always had to juggle your resources and plan your runs... "I'm gonna get two X weapons on this store for hordes and then I'll get to that other store and get Y weapon for Z boss".

Although the trend of combining weapons that started in DR2 and so on was fun, it removed that layer of strategy and streamlined the series too much by catering to the "it's too hardddd :((" crowd, since you only had to focus on crafting the same 2-3 kinds of strong weapons and you're good for the rest of the game...

shinoff2183555d ago

This was one of the games I got an Xbox 360 for back when. Dead rising. Lost odyssey. Blue dragon. Alan wake. Anyway the last 3 didn't disappoint. I thought dead rising was kinda eh. I didn't like the setup or how it played out. It's been years but if I remember right it was some kind of timer during the missions or whatever you wanna call them. Straight turned me off. I never even tried the sequels.
