Shameless, I don't agree with you at all.

The comparison screens in the previous thread showed *little* difference apart from the obvious (and unavoidable) loss of resolution.

Panning the game before we have seen ANY videos OR previews is just ridiculous. Especially on the strength of a couple of cherry-picked screens.

No one is expecting the game to LOOK better than the 360 version - I think that goes without saying.

I'll wait until a few people have PLAYED the game, and have given their opinion. Considering this is one of the first (if not the first?) true-HD titles to be ported down to the Wii, I'm very interested in it...

...because if this does well (review-wise and/or sales-wise), it could well trigger a few other HD titles to come to the Wii. And surely this would have to be a HARDER title to port than say DMC, Bioshock or a host of other titles (due to the sheer number of characters running at once).

Screenshots are released to focus in on certain things, your's focuses on gore, mine focuses on onscreen enemies. None of the released Wii screens show anywhere near the amount of onscreen enemies that the 360 version showed, in fact the screen I chose has the largest amount. I could post some with less enemies, but I'd be called an even bigger troll by pointing out a simple fact. If you haven't played the original game then you wouldn't realise what made it fun and I question why you're even in the thread.

Oh, because you refuse to even entertain the fact that your console is getting a lackluster port.

Yes, all the other ones have even fewer zombies... if by fewer, you mean 'noticibly more and you are lying to cover your tracks now'

Edit: Evidence! (view image for full-sized)

Here's another one off the official website:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Small, but clearly shows more enemies.

Well done guys. You've opened my eyes, I didn't know that the Wii could actually handle two more enemies than the screenshot I've posted in the OP. This game will be fine after all. Phew. I guess that tens of enemies is actually fantastic, I don't know what I was thinking when I tried to compare the inferior X360 version.

Crap.

it doesnt matter if its blurry, cause metroid prime 3 lookd even worse in the screenshots, but turned out great

@Shameless

I'm fairly certain there wasn't a single person who thought the Wii could handle as many enemies as the 360. Obviously it can't, so quit acting like you're surprised about this.

What we're pointing out is that you picked a terrible screenshot to post when it took 2 minutes to go to the official website and find a picture with twice as many enemies. But don't let that get in the way of your attempt to enlighten us about the horrible job Capcom is doing. I'm sure all the Wii-only owners won't be buying the game now.

Hey Shameless, we get it, you're not interested in the Wii version of Dead Rising. So don't buy it. Problem solved. Pretty simple, no?



I'll come up with something better eventually...

You should be mad that Dead Rising 2 is being postponed for this.
