Dead Rising demo out now News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

4 August, 2006

Capcom has released a Dead Rising demo onto Xbox Live Marketplace as of 11am BST today.

The demo weighs in at a pretty hefty 1014.61MB, and play is limited to 15 minutes in one section of the mall.

Major Nelson alerts us to the fact the demo is not available in Mexico, Germany, Australia, New Zealand or Asia.

We're still downloading it, as we suspect many of you are, and we'd love to hear what you make of it. You know, down there.

Dead Rising is due out in the States on August 8th, and should be with us here in Europe on September 8th. It's Capcom's first big Xbox 360 exclusive, providing you don't count Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting for Xbox Live Arcade, and if you do then well it's the second isn't it you silly person.

With Saints Row, SF2 and now Dead Rising, I think I chose the right week to take off work!

YES. It's raining today, I am quite tired so I am definetly not going out today, what could be better?

Too bad a switch broke down today at work and we will have to fix it; But to do that, we have to wait until everybody leaves because the entire network will be dead. And that is going to take some time. At least I have something to look forward too when I get back home.

my 360 died in the middle of Oblivion, went to three red lights on the RING OF DEATH.

turned it off, turned it back on again, it was fine. later that day I played Halo 2 for an hour and a half with no problems.

what gives?

please let this be crap, so i don't have to go and buy a 360 in the near future ;)

from what i've seen this looks awsome, and may just be the game to push me into buying a 360.

Apparently EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) only awarded this game 7.0, 7.5, 8.0 in the latest issue which is a little disappointing but, hey, it's still a good score overall right?

BST is GMT+1 silly!

In that case, they're lying. I see no demo at all, and the time is 11.30 a.m, in a GMT+1 zone.

I'd be unplesantly surprised if this had tearing. Capcom seems to have a very good in-house engine up and running on the 360. The Lost Planet demo plays very smoothly.....

I shall be downloading this evening.

I also thought this was a 360 exclusive. So those considering only purchasing a PS3 have another reason to re-consider if they like the look of this.

Isn't 11am BST, 12pm GMT though? Or is that GMT = BST+1?

If you live in a country with day light saving time, then you are actually GMT+2, because GMT does not change, but your local time does, thus the 2 hours difference.

bloody hell! its not very complicated

BST = GMT+1. When the clocks switched earlier this year, we went from GMT to BST. When the clocks switch back later this year we go back from BST to GMT.

11BST is, for anyone in the UK, 22 minutes away.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks for being a little more helpful than the EG mob. ;)

_neon - Actually true. Capcom isn't the best company in the world at keeping to its word when it comes to it's "platforms exclusives!!!!".

Although of course you might get some people arguing that the Gamecube version of RE4 was superior to the PS2......... :-)

The trouble is, if you want to enjoy the best of the best and experience the triple-A titles of coming years, you'll probably need to own a 360, a PS3 and a Wii. OK enough if you have the money, bad news in terms of space and wires and having enough connections etc etc. I have a A/V amplifier and I'm already out of all my available compenent connections...... (the Gamecube is now disconnected since the Sky HD arrived)......

Guys, if you read a news report about the mysterious disappearance of a girl in Surrey, please rest assured it will have NOTHING to do wth me.

And it certainly won't be a result of her nagging me for playing 'that disgusting violent game instead of doing the washing up' or something.

Didn't the PS2 version have more content and iron out a few niggles from the GC version?

Don't forget; it's all about the gameplay and not graphics ;-)

Oh man, I wish I had Xbox 360 right now. This is the first game that really really makes me want to buy the system right away. I'll wait a while, though, maybe until Xmas....

Why can't they convert RE4 to Xbox. It's not too late! =]

I want instant downloads, it's taunting me right now with it's percentages and slowness. I've been looking forward to Dead Rising sooo much, this demo will tide me over until the game is out next month. Damn those Americanos and their earlier release.

Ooops. Yes, I didn't mean to re-ignite the RE:4 GC vs PS2 arguements... my apologies.

Each to their own and all that.

Methinks we're going to see a lot more of those arguments come this generation of hardware. Hell, it's started already and the PS3 isn't even in the hands of gamers yet.
