Definately looks like a lot of fun and like Matthew, this is one game I'm considering getting a 360 for.

This should be done more often. Short games that change each time you play them.
I siad they should have done this with The Thing, have a quick 2 hour game where different people were infected each time. |

I think the idea is that you'd replay the game over and over to explore new areas and try and have different plot outcomes.
You could choose to play one time as a hero, risking your neck to save everyone you see who is in trouble and the next time you play you could be a complete bastard, setting people up for gruesome deaths just so you can take pictures of them! |

This game really seems to have had a turn around. A while back it seemed everyone was panning it, but now (post-E3) it seems that Capcom really pulled all the stops to turn this into the game everyone wanted. I for one can't wait. Also loved the Romero ZOmbie flicks, this looks like I can actually play the film! :)

It's also my favorite game of the show, judging by the trailers I've seen, but three hours? Surely we're not getting it right, gotta be more than that.
Btw, Eurogamer's "Speak your brain..." button seems eerily appropriate.

Cool, sounds great. Wasn't too sure about where this game was going, but I'll be giving this a crack.

Well, if it's really freeform and cleverly designed, maybe it might work as a three hour game, but still... It better be absolutely cathartic three hours. :)

This really does sound bloody fantastic! I'm gradually being swayed by the X360 with these second wave of games, plus I missed the Xbox1.
I'm not so much concerned by the 3 hours (Resident Evil 1 and 2 weren't much longer!) but more about whether the sandbox design will live up to expectations. From what Matthew says, it sounds great, but will there be enough interesting things to do and will it be enough to play it over and over again? |

Some clarification from IGN:
"It should be noted that the game doesn't actually take 72 hours to finish. How long you can expect the game to last is, however, a murky issue. We've previously been told that if you stood in a closet for the whole time limit, it would take around three or so hours to count down. When asked, Capcom did not specify a time limit, though there will be no way to add any additional time to the clock. The game will always last 72 game hours, though time progression may be suspended during cut scenes" Seems like it is 3 hours afterall. Hmmm, interesting..... >:I |

I don't see what's the problem with the three hour gametime, provided that there is replayability. This isn't a linear adventure kind of game (apparently).
A game of OutRun 2 lasts five minutes. Any beat 'em up lasts 0.5-2 minutes. Most shmups take 10-30 minutes. It's the same concept, just spread out wider. |

A very interesting concept. Especially the whole 3 hours playtime, but loads of replayability thing. Would be perfect for going round to someone's house for an evening and having a blast.
Really looking forward to this one. The PS3 is going to have a tough time convincing people to shell out when games like this will already be out on the 360 when it launches. |

Well said jlaakso, its just some people seem to get a bit hysterical when anything under 8 hours is mentioned. Its the length of a (long) film, but the film is different every time you watch, ok folks?

"Dead Rising is probably the first game on the 360 that's would make me go out and buy the console just to play it. It really is that good."
Great... Another bloody preview (on a game I had no great expectations of, if I may add) that I, now, have to read, thanks to that conclusion... As if I did not already have way too much stuff to do this morning... Thanks a bunch, Matthew... /sarcasm off :)

Can't wait for this! Looks and sounds amazing! I may well by a 360 for this! With that cool 3 hour limit, sounds like there might be some frantic mad dashes back to the chopper pad?

people are getting the wrong end of the stick with the time limit....
the leaderboards for a start; most kills in 3 hours most objects used to kill zombies in 3 hours etc etc while whole point of the game is to survive for 3 hours, how you do that is the fun in the game hide away, help other people, do a commando impression and just kick ass, build up the characters skills and unlock the special moves, hunt out all the hundreds of possible weapons that can be used etc etc |

I saw a preview for this in GamesTM this month and the shots for the lead character were strangely inconsistant. Im thinking specifically of the one where he looks like Mel Gibson with a flat top.
But, yeah, ive seen vids and bits and pieces of this game for a while and this preview just confirms its position on my 'want' list. My life isnt at the point anymore that I can spend 10 hours a day, 7 days a week hammering through a game. Having 3 hours to come up with as many creative ways as possible to kill zombies is absolutely inspired and would fit perfectly in my life. I know it probably wont feature it, but the live potential for this game is amazing. Imagine a whole wrecking crew tear arseing around a city. |

The 3 hour figure makes perfect sense. It takes 3 hours to play it through but there is far more than 3 hours worth of content. Meaning you have to play multiple times to see and do everything.
This sounds good to me. It sounds like there are so many things to do that virutally every game will be quite different. |
