The game will be released in a few months and it looks horrible. You have to think that it's September now, and for the game to get a "late 2008" release, it has to be close to done. QA testing and certification of the game will need to be done, and then manufacturing and shipping the game. Considering the game would have to go gold sometime in the next sixty to ninety days (latest) to meet the deadline, IDK how people can think that this game will look much better.

 

This is supposed to be a 2008 game?  I thought this was going to be a 2009 game.

If that's the case then they aren't going to get many if any more zombies on screen at a time.  In order to get a siginificant more amount of zombies on screen they are going to have to do one of the following:

  • Rewrite everything - not going to happen since that would take a very large amount of time.
  • Start cutting things other places - The world already feels bare enough so I doubt there's really much they could cut

A 2008 release date confirms that this game is going to suck.  This means they are already in very late alpha and possibly even beta.  That means there's no new art or major game changes so that means no cutting back on the world to add more zombies.  The only thing they're doing now is just fixing bugs. 

If they're Alpha they're fixing showstopping bugs, if they're in Beta they've moved on to focusing on the B and C bugs.  Either way, those screen shots are what we're going to get.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

This looks bad.. I hope this doesn't get hyped at all, flops, and then the person in charge gets a cold.

i was happy when they announced this game but the screenshots and the videos just look horrible, there are loads of ps2 games that look better then this, capcom probably gave it a very low budget, the success of re4 really had negative effect on capcom, they are convinced only ports sale on wii.

If they really can't get it to work on time, a delay isn't impossible.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I admire your determination.

On-topic, the alpha build looks like shit, or whatever else they're calling that mess of a game nowadays. Even worse than that, it seems the developers have lost focus on why Dead Rising was fun in the first place. Hint to Capcom: It doesn't involve improved gun controls and a vast emptiness of mall space.

We don't know that's the alpha build. That's part of my point. There are too many assumptions, and not enough wait-the-fuck-and-see.

They aren't going to make that big of an improvement in a month.  It just doesn't happen.

A couple months. It's release coming out winter 2008, which means December at earliest. Of course that may not be much anyway, and this can be screwed up. I just refuse to assume the game's quality until it's finished.

Good point. Too many assumptions. Not enough wait-the-fuck-and-see. Gotcha.

Hey Lord, I need help figuring out which forum member said this:

And the Sean White thing. What the fuck? So what if it controls well. Could they at least have used a more advanced engine? The HD version is using the Assassin's Creed engine. Don't they have one to fit the Wii, like say, Unreal 2.5?
