Why Frank West Can't Take Pictures in Dead Rising Wii

OMG Nintendo writes: "The premise of Dead Rising is that Frank West, a photojournalist, heads into a zombie-infested hellhole to take pictures of the goings-on inside. Zombie battling does ensue, but also zombie photography. For some reason, this major plot element was revealed to be cut from the Wii version of Dead Rising earlier this week. Why cut something that's... you know, what the game is basically about?"

Less zombies, character cannot jump, low res graphics and you can't take any pictures. Obvious answer is cause the Wii version is GIMPED!

animboo5985d ago

i'm actually looking forward to this game for the wii, Hope it doesnt suck, oh well there's still house of the dead overkill coming this feb 10..

Amnesiac5985d ago

Try getting a real console, you'll enjoy gaming a lot more.

Half-Mafia5984d ago

i agree Amnesiac,

animboo the Wii is a stupid little toy, get a PS3 or 360 then u can be called a gamer.

rhood0225986d ago

Because this version is an attempt to bilk the rubes who think the Wii is anything more than an interactive toy?

Voiceofreason5985d ago

And the first people to post are PS3 fans with limited knowledge doing their best to troll and all over a console they do not own. Too bad the mods wont delete your BS and put you in the open zone for a few days...

bym051d5985d ago

Because it's not flaming. It's going to be a bad game.

It's a zombie game without many zombies.
It's a photography game without pictures.
What's next?

dazzalfc5985d ago

...given your name, thats a pretty crap statement you just made, partly because a) you label them automatically as PS3 fans (which they may or may not be, but that statement just highlights where your loyalty is based) b) you assume they do not own a Wii and c) you claim they are talking BS.

As a Wii owner, i can vouch for what they say and pretty much agree with them. Wii may be selling like crazy, but the games are terrible. 95% shovelware with the odd Mario and Zelda game thrown in.

And as for this version of Dead Rising, it may become a good game, but its hardly going to hit the heights of the original 360 version, and it'll be interesting (or hilarious) to see how the Wii controls manage with this game. If its the case with the majority of Wii games, the controls will suck and the game will become tiresome because of it.

And if you disagree, why don't you enlighten us all as to why as you seem to have far superior knowledge about gaming than the rest of us.

poopsack5985d ago

So what your saying is, if I own the Wii console I have the right to hate on it on the area it deserves? Cool with me then, this sh!t is gimped! Cant wait for the release on PSN.

Voiceofreason5985d ago

Hit the "heights" of the 360 version? Like a typical fanboy troll you just run off out the mouth making huge assumptions.. You are only looking at the graphics part of the game kid. It had many other flaws. Many of the complaints from the first have been fixed. You do not know anything about them though it seems so that must justify your hate toward a game on a console that you do not own, have never played and have no intention of buying if it got 10's from all sites because it doesnt carry the brand name you all worship.

Obviously from you anger and need to defend Sony it is easy to see where your loyalty lies... Trash a Wii game before you even know anything about it is fine but to say anything negative about a PS3 owner... Oh well that makes you a fanboy.. Just retarded. I'll be happy when all you PS3 morons have me on ignore. That way I dont have to listen to you cry every 5 minutes for pointing out your bias.. Or how your console and all its games are failing..

What's next? " Another clueless person judging a game based off of their own ignorance of it.. It may have less zombies than the original Dead rising, but that is not to say it will not have as many as RE4.. Are you trying to say RE4 and all previous zombie games are not actually zombie games anymore? Your point is just stupid and has no bearing when you know a little something about the game and dont try to hide fanboy bias with pointless excuses...

Who said this one was a photo game? Did Capcom say that? NO.. You again fail to understand that this is not a port. It is a completely different version of Dead rising. Think of it like Ninja gaiden Sigma only going backwards.

Lastly how do you know its bad? Because it is on Wii? You havent played it to know. How many games got great previews only to be garbage? Lair and Haze come to mind without really having to think about it.

As usual someone who is a gamer is being accused of bias but the very people who are bias.. It's ok for us to hate a game we never played and obviously know little about but dont you dare assume that people that are always saying great things about PS3 and trashing other console are Sony fans..

'Wii can't pull of what the 360 can, the game is basically a last gen port because we've seen how well Wii is selling.'

ChampIDC5985d ago (Edited 5985d ago )

And this is what happens when you try to port to a console that's a generation behind in power. A good game easily gets ruined. They should have just gone with an original concept instead and built it around the Wii's hardware. Oh well, maybe it won't be that bad, but it probably won't be as fun as the original version.

Capcom announces next event to showcase Dead Rising and Resident Evil

Capcom has just announced its own event where it will showcase some of the upcoming titles it is working on.

Fishy Fingers352d ago

"RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard for iPhone/iPad/Mac."

Feels like a deliberate omission from the title.

How wish it was...

"RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard for iPhone/iPad/Mac/PSVR2."

Sonic1881351d ago

"Note: this event will not include news or updates for other titles."

-Foxtrot351d ago

Friendlygamer351d ago

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.

Underpants846d ago

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

TheColbertinator846d ago

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

hotnickles846d 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.

Kakyouin845d 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.

hotnickles845d ago (Edited 845d 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.

MasterChief3624845d ago (Edited 845d 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 :(

hotnickles845d 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.

Kakyouin845d 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!

Nebaku846d 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.

traqueia933d ago (Edited 933d 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...

shinoff2183933d 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.
