Dead Rising - General Discussion

[BLSR1]

So what is the deal with the TIR multiplayer on xbox live?
I can never get a game going. Is it broken, and are they going to fix it?

[Carnivol]

I had problems getting a game going the first time I tried, but after one single match, I didn't have any problems starting any subsequent matches.

Might just be the matchmaking being stupid when it comes to low-ranked (or yet to be ranked) players, so it'll try desperately to pair you up with other "new" people. It should cave eventually and match you up with "anyone".

[Sephiroth]

Im haveing problems with of thoses red necks I've killed 2 of them already but the last 2 I caint kill the main problem is were they are in areas were I caint reach them by going up ladders so I have to sniper them but every time im trying to sniper them the Zombies are getting in the way or I havent got a clear view.

TIR has ranks on Xbox?

@Sephiroth

They all have ladders on the strip leading up to them, look harder I guess.

TIR has ranks on both platforms, well provided you select Ranked Match to play that is. Leaderboards are on the main TIR menu.

Winning all 9 different TIR games is a pain in the ass. I've won 4, but aside from being difficult (so many times I've just been pipped and placed into second) the system seems to keep repeating the same games, mostly the ones I've already won, and not the ones I haven't.

Aside from finishing the co-op trophy, the 72000 kills (I got to 66,357 and ran out of time), and that damn TIR one, I've almost completed this 100%.

Well I finiahed the game for the first time and im just going on TIR to get some cash and try to come first in all 9 I've only done 3 but the spear one is a pain I hate quick time.

Ahh, I usually associate ranks with some kind of level up system. I know what you mean with TIR, I would get Zombroni and Stand Up Zomedy so much. Headache and Ballbuster took me about 2 hours to find one game of each.

My brother got this game, and so far I've spent alot more time on it than he has. My first run I ignored the main story, then started with a level 24 Chuck on my 2nd run. Finished the main story today. I think the game is alot better than the first. The story is simple yet serviceable. Resident evil could learn alot from DR.

[Rancid Cheese]

So no-one has nothing about the "Off the Record" DLC ? Hmm . . .

EDIT:
Holy Crap this is a full retail release?! I just spotted the video on the XBox Marketplace figured I'd take a look. Didn't notice the News thread on this this should be £10 MAX I mean what does it do so differently that it can't rely on the original DR2 data . . .

[Dracarys]

Honestly it really should be DLC, if it is Frank if he was in Chucks place then 95% of it should use the existing game/characters.

I'd say around 70 percent than 95 when you consider the stuff they have said to the press at the Captivate event, especially with the engine tweaks to the game. I would of loved if it was DLC however, but what the hell. There will be enough content in there, and the story being edited to around Frank's "what if scenario" to play day one since I'm a big fan of the character. I hope that the music cue is changed though to be around his theme (like how it was in case west) from Dead Rising. I'd say this will be a £30 retail price release.

[Vito]

meh to that imo.

im more interested to know if case west will ever come to ps3.

[Mr. Spencer]

I doubt it, Capcom still have more daughters to sell to the American paedophile Bill Gates.

[Vito]

aah oh well untill they do i wont re-buy dead rising 2.

[Beanovsky Durst]

I guess I'll wait until Super Dead Rising 2 Turbo HD Remix...
