I can't wait to play this!!!

Looks very next gen and fun!

that's nearly as good as my imagination!

seriously cool, what is it?

Dead Rising!!!

Already pre-ordered.

*yawn* i like zombie games, nearly as good as the movies!

lol @ Megaman outfit.

With regards to next-gen, I still find it a bit disappointing that most of the processing power is put into the character graphics, and not the environments themselves, I still see blurry textures and the likes in those shots...

Too bad it's for the XBX360, all I got to look forward to for my PC is Vavle's Portal.

XBOX360! well.. sheet! pah, i can forget about it then, as i don't have an Xbox and not gonna buy one to my knowledge.

imo the thing that amazes me visually about this is the raw amount of polygons on the screen at once, and the blood looks cool!

The game itself looks good though.

anyone have the hardware specs handy for XBox360? :)

*uhhhhhh....* zombie noise!

Can handle 1,000 zombies on scene at once. Literally.

I've been looking forward to this game for the longest time. If you want to know something and don't feel like looking it up, just tell me :)

> Can handle 1,000 zombies on scene at once. Literally.

i meant "Xbox360" specs, not "Dead Rising" specs.

ok, i found them here. i'm happy now. :)

edit: i got xbox muddled with xbox360, doh!
this is right though. but what does it mean? your guess is as good as mine. :)

I wasn't answering anyone's question lol. I was just saying..

Looks like GTA meets Resident Evil with a Tony Hawk twist.

500 million polys per second ...

... Xbox 360 can render an 8.3 million polygon scene at 60FPS ;)

As for the characters Vs. environments ... I think they both look great and IMO the previous few generations already had nice envirionments and I'm glad to see the real time characters catching up. I played Saint's Row last night (360 first party GTA knock off) and all the characters are really nicely animated, shadowed, and normal mapped ... and then to top it all off have great ragdoll physics when you run them over or beat them. That's another game that makes me welcome the next generation. Wow, Halo 3 is going to rock on 360. I really like my 360 ... maybe because I didn't expect much out of it, but whatever it's really a fun system.

I wonder if all the chewing gums in the automate will interact physically correct whilst bumping against it or throwing it. ;O)

Hmmm, They're ok, nothing really next gen there though, Pretty detailed, no real special effects so that the power is put into the poly drawing. That's a COOL amount of detail.

Oh and that woman with the cleavage? Phwoar... Ish.

Hahaha RIGHT <chuckles> ... you're just a non-believer. I understand, it's ok ;)

That thread about real time graphics not advancing ... like I said, huge turd. Sorry, but this looks leaps and bounds better than anything on the previous generation of consoles. If it can draw more polys and handle higher res textures it's still next gen!

Lol,
From what I can see this would need to be seen moving to beleive :) It *does* look better than the older consoles, and I imagine it would be awesome in motion.

My problem is I keep comparing to PC, which of course is always going to look nicer than consoles. Now if only they could get them bugless and with decent control mechanics!

I love the shot of the guy stood on the tank. I just hope that these screenshots are not prerendered and those are actual ingame shots.
Looks like a great game, but half the shots are certainly not gameplay shots, finally a game on the X-Box that might be worth having a look at. A game based on my all time favourite movie Dawn Of The Dead (Not the crappy remake)

Yeah, the 360 is really just shy of a powerful PC. Heck, by now the PC is already ahead actually. My PC with 7800 GT OC card looks just a touch better than my 360 running the same games like Prey and Quake 4. It's really close, but the PC has the edge it seems in the texture department to me.

Of course that's comparing two games using the same engine. Getting into other games ... there are a few on 360 that don't appear to have equal on the PC.

I like the look of it, although I guess the AI must be pretty easy to program to do a good zombie.

It looks great moving, and really funny, although there are moments that looks annoying. For one thing you don't appear to be able to attack opponents who are on the floor. Renegade allowed you to do that twenty years ago!

"dumduda dumduda dumduda dum"

"UUUUURRRRGGGHHHH"

"dumduda dumduda dumduda dum"

"UUUUURRRRGGGHHHH"

"dumduda dumduda dumduda dum"

"UUUUURRRRGGGHHHH"


..ETC :)

I think my favourite screenshot from the above is the one in the vegetable department of the supermarket. I wonder if it is possible to set all those melons rolling....

Awesome !

That tank screenie is odd: some of the zombies are casting shadows and some aren't. Are they ghosts? :P

i wish dat guy would stop abusing those zombies...

the dead have rights too, ya know... besides, i've always wondered why everyone is always so scared of dead people...

hey, we're all gonna be dead sooner or later...

let the dead rest in peace... and start gettin' busy with that lil warm and breathing cutey...

Looking at the graphics, I thought it was a blitz game until I read down a few posts.

I dont think its good enough for the 360. they have gone for to many pollygons at the cost of sharp good textures and environment.

Not sure I like the graphical style either.

[Looks like GTA meets Resident Evil with a Tony Hawk twist.]

The guy is the brother of Max PAYNE ?

;)

Actualy, thats the first thing I thought, too.

You've got to be kidding me. Where have you seen a blitz game that looks as good as this?

I've no plans to buy a 360 but I love the artistic style of this game - fresh, crisp and colourful. It seems that the game has a great sense of quirky humour too and I like the look of all the various costumes that the player can wear.

If only it had Gamera, Pirates and Ninjas too - now that would really rock.

Looks like mindless fun!

That's an insane amount of characters on screen at one time in the 2nd & 3rd from last pics. The New Orleans level in Hitman Blood Money has massive crowds too.

You're not watching closely enough! Shovel action 28 seconds in!

It's a shame though that they're making it for a dead system.

Check the jugs on the blonde.

PC has an edge... but to get sales they can't make it for the top end pc's. Whereas they can push the 360 as hard as they want because they know that if you got a 360 you got the same hardware as every other 360. That's the only advantage that a console has.

I saw a video of this. Apart from the graphics the gameplay seemed boring to me, really.

Played it. It's pretty successful in creating an atmosphere of 'threat'; and it's quite fun using almost any object as a weapon. But it's a bit flat really. Very little happens (in the demo at least). Not blown away.

I think it looks really dumb.

Man, the demo is out now ... going to play after I get off the phone with my woman!

BTW, it is everything I thought it would be ... and none of those screens above are pre-rendered ... the game looks that damn good!

You'd have thought they'd gone to a bit more effort on the energy bar gfx.

the character engine is great. other than that - plain zombie content. B-Movie feeling. If you like it.

Zombies are stupid, slow enemies; They shouldnt be taken too seriously. Thats why running around beating the crap out of them in a mall, with all the mall stuff, is a great idea!.

Maybe a bunch of bikers'll trash the place, and some guy will be too busy trying to win on the arm wrestling machine to notice that he is beaing eaten alive by zombies (obscure reference to movie whos title i don't know)..
A multiplayer online zombie world with both classic scary style areas, and satirical zombie themed areas could be nice too..

I never understood why zombies just couldn't eat the zombie beside him? Why chase after a running target when you're almost immobile? How do those braindead monsters really know the difference between another zombie and a living human in the first place?

They communicate by telepathy. And they don't eat one another because - did you ever want to eat a zombie? see?!

Did you know zombies do exist? Not exactly the movie zombies. In some cultures it is an official punishment for criminals to be zombified. Their metabolism will be reduced down to a "living dead" slowlyness. They are using the posion of a fish (spherefish(?)) Tetraodontidae, mixed with further stuff. This powder is strong enough to zombify people by putting it on somebodies skin.

Fugu/Puffer fish, which may infact be also called a Spherefish.
(the name would fit)
Does the game have co'op?..I can see wasting a few hour with a freind on that.

The individual screenshots somehow look a lot more interesting than the video itself posted above.

Looks about as fun as one of those fairground games where you bash moles with a mallet. The moles probably put up a better fight than the guys in this game, though...

When I saw Gfk you were the last person to post in this thread I knew for certain you'd be given it a slagging ;)
What games do you like playing? :)

I like the colour. A lot of colour for a zombie game.

Hasn't the zombie thing been done to death?! (no pun intended)

Games where you get to kill stuff, but not when they just stand there and let you ffs!

The mall could be full of chihuahuas and they would be more vicious opponents than those zombies appear to be!
