Dead Rising "Kills" Xbox 360?

People are reporting that their Xbox 360 are crashing by the cause of Dead Rising.

Zaskark56461d ago

I havent had any problems yet but I might later.

Dick Jones6461d ago

All of 2 people have a problem and it turns into an epidemic for these online journalists.

This games is not even utilizing the supposedly "full potential" of the xbox 360, and the system is crashing. Terrible. I do feel sorry for those who dished out so much money for a 360 just to have $60 games ruin their experience. People, wait for a true gaming machine. The Ps3 will not disappoint, and it is a much better deal. And people, just because you don't have Aids does not mean Hiv is nonexistent. If your 360 is still working, great. But what about the others who are going through issues, should you just ignore them and pretend everything is ok? If this is your path to life, then you're not worthy of living. But there is hope, and the ps3 will provide it.

All it takes 1 person to have a problem, and post it on the internet. By the way guys stop playing this game for 20 hours straight!

Marriot VP6461d ago

Yah really a game can't cause a console to crash. If that were true it'd happen to more than 2-3 people. Cause what are they doing any different than other people.

The PROBLEM is just the 360 hardware. ALL standard console failure is 3-5% so there's your small percentage who just happened to be playing dead rising at the time.

OutLaw6461d ago

That's like what Sony was doing against the Dreamcast before they released the PS2, spreading rumors.

I have the game and no problem here.

Asuka6461d ago

this post has nothing to do with sony????? why do you have to start flame-wars? You even posted an Assassins Creed post today that didn't inform any new info. You just posted it to start back up a flame-war.

do us all a favor and hit the "power" button on your pc, just please do it. You'll make alot more people happy >_>

OutLaw6461d ago

Yeah you're right look at the big flame war I started. PLEASE EVERBODY STOP THE INSANITY I DIDN'T MEAN TO START A FLAME WAR!!! Does that make you happy? Get a grip son, I was just pointing out that it seem similar to what Sony did before. If it would make you feel better I also want a PS3. Now get a life and move-on.

ACE6461d ago

more like the sony fan boys started this rumer cos i have the game and not a freez in site NO PROBLEMS HERE AT ALL lol ......

sad sony fans tut!!!!

shotty6461d ago

This is part of Sony's Marketing. They bash other systems on the internet. They did it with the dreamcast. Every major xbox 360 title has had this same rumor yet I have played everyone and no issues. Seems fishy doesn it. I played Dead Rising countless times with no issues. They said the same for GRAW, Oblivion, Prey and such.

OutLaw6460d ago

That's all I was trying to point out. Does it mean its true? Probably not. But it does seem fishy as you put it. Sony has done this before and I feel they could try it again.

Asuka6460d ago

oh yeah, i'm being told to get a life from a guy that has 244 comments on a videogame website who is being backed by someone called "was a sony fan" with over 300+ comments a third of which he posted in last 14 days! Oh yeah, i really need to get a life >_>

here look, i'll do you a favor, everytime you make a bs comment or post, i'll be there to label it BS for you just so you can tell when your being a dumb@$$ ok. No thanks is required and i'll even do it for free >_>

OutLaw6460d ago

Thats up to you if you want to make this personal. I wasn't trying to attack you but if that's what you want to do go ahead. It really doesn't matter to me one bit.

Look forward to you acting like a child.

Asuka6460d ago

oh, and that post was BS

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.

Underpants429d ago

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

TheColbertinator429d ago

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

hotnickles428d 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.

Kakyouin428d 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.

hotnickles428d ago (Edited 428d 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.

MasterChief3624428d ago (Edited 428d 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 :(

hotnickles428d 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.

Kakyouin428d 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!

Nebaku428d 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.

traqueia515d ago (Edited 515d 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...

shinoff2183515d 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.
