Dead Rising Wii Screenshots Have Few Zombies, Details and Release Info Arrive (Updated)

Related Topics – Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, screenshots, Nintendo Wii

Capcom has issued more details and the first media from the Wii edition of its mall-exploring zombie-killing effort Dead Rising, which originally hit Xbox 360 in 2006.

Dubbed Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, the game is said to utilize a level of interaction similar to that of Resident Evil 4 Wii, allowing gamers to aim and fire guns, swing weapons and shake off zombies using the Wii Remote.

The original title's oft-chastised save system has also been revised "for more seamless gameplay," though Capcom did not specify further how the system has changed.

Powered by the Resident Evil 4 Wii engine, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is scheduled for a worldwide release this coming winter.

Hi. Can you guys not just rip Kotaku's headline for this game and reword it slightly? thanks.

also, if you guys really think that there are that many less zombies, maybe you need to start the 360 game again and go to those areas. It looks about the same to me, presuming these screenshots are near the beginning of the game which it looks like they are.

You know... this isn't an Anti-Wii post. I love my Wii... I just bought Mario Kart Wii on the weekend so STFU
But I really hope Nintendo wakes up next generation and makes their graphics better. I understand all their design choices and so on for this round and I respect that, but I mean, these games just LOOK unimpressive, which then turns prospective people like me off... or at least will defer me to the 360 version.

This isn't the first game like this, either. Hulk was another one.

Obligatory: If they're making a Wii port then they should release it on the PC too (and PS3, not that I care, but out of principle).

Wii graphics.. It's not the weaker hardware that's the problem, I find many games on the Gamecube truly beautiful even now.. It's that bland, lifeless look, the sharp edges and muddy textures, the feeling you're looking at every game through a thin film of brown-grey dirt.

How do they achieve it?

It could look so damn pretty if only it.. tried.

Plenty of zombies in this shot:

I'll be impressed if they can manage the sheer volume of zombies that are in some areas on the 360, but there are plenty of spots in the 360 version where it's not wall to wall zombies too.

I was interested in this just to see what kind of control scheme they would come up with. Dead Rising is possibly my favorite 360 game. I would play an enhanced version on my PC or PS3. This just looks a little to gimped to pick it up for the Wii. The best parts of the game was looking into a never ending hoard of zombies and trying to figure out how your going to get through or take'em down.

But if you never played it on the 360 I guess you wouldn't know what you were missing.

I'd be all over a PS3 Version that looks as good as the 360, but with the game improvements. I couldn't get into this because of the awful mission/save system. I tried like 5 times because the game looked and played awesome, but it was so fucking frustrating.

Wonder if they are going to do anything with this port besides point of view tweaks and waggle control? You gotta think they will make text readable on SD TVs unlike the 360 version.

At first I was sort of intrigued with the Wii version of this game, but not anymore. This game just doesn't make sense without hordes and hordes of zombies onscreen at the same time. I don't even want to see how sparse the courtyard area must look if this inside shot only has a few dozen zombies in it.
