Some games just aren't meant to have a multiplayer experience. Resident Evil for one. Games like Call Of Duty 4, sure ... but these games that offer a very strong and to the point solo experience don't need to pander to the whole "it has to have multiplayer" crowd.
@excel_excel: I don't know my reaction of the news of a new dead Rising was \(^O^)/ but when i heard multiplayer my taught was ಠ_ಠ so i'll keep my expectation low for now.
@Gorilla Snow is Maximum Risky: That is what i'm worry about will SP suffer because of the addition of a multiplayer "just because the fans want it and everyone is doing it" or will the SP and multiplayer be good.
Sad to hear they're doing it not because they want to, but because they HAVE to. Even so, co-op zombie slaughter is something that deserves - nay - NEEDS to happen. I've said it before, I'll say it again.
It'll be co-op. It BETTER BE (non-forced) co-op. If they stiff us by putting in only a competitive mode, I will kick Keiji Inafune so hard in the fact that time itself will glitch and Mega Man will never have been created.
@Archaotic: Co-op would make me soar. I can't tell you how happy I am that I now get to share my love of zombies with other folks. If any competitive modes, they better have a zombie killing race. Or imagine racing in those hamster balls!
I'd better stop now before I get too enthusiastic.
@Gorilla Snow is Maximum Risky: Ok, so I've followed you for awhile now and normally you say some pretty good shit. But racing in hamster balls has to be the single greatest thing you have ever said. That is the best idea ever lol.
@Archaotic: "Sad to hear they're doing it not because they want to, but because they HAVE to. " Which speaks volumes about gamers these days, quite sadly.
Capcom guys: If you're reading this, do NOT skimp on singleplayer just to create a multiplayer component. Focus on one at a time, or have separate teams handle each component. (make sure each team is handling what they're good at of course)
Right. Let the Western guys at Blue Castle develop the multiplayer, while the original Dead Rising 2 team handles single player. That way everyone wins.
I had some beers last night for St. Patricks Day (hey, it starts at midnight). Followed by a few Beamish when I played P4 for a few hours. I woke up 30 min ago, and turn on Kotaku. I see this article and the sentence:
"Is Mayor Tortimer actually a man in California that asks for naked images from Missouri children?"
I feared that this was some hallucination from not having coffee yet. So I left and came back. The offending sentence hadn't vanished. I started to worry that maybe I needed to stop drinking. Or maybe my life had become a Thomas Pynchon novel.
I'm really glad all of you are seeing this, too, though. This is the most harebrained thing that I've ever read in this video game hysteria context. What you have to understand is that as terrible as St. Louis and Kansas City are (ok, I'm exaggerating a bit), mid-Missouri is full of the people who aren't qualified for either of those two cities (Columbia is given a pass here). Terrible lot.
I'm thinking of googling 'how to write a cease and desist letter' and emailing a threatening sounding one to them, as acting attorney for adult AC players. Hey, if they believed that Tortimer nonsense, they'll believe this.
Pong is teaching us to beat people with paddles! Dr. Mario is teaching us how to stash drugs in small spaces! Imagine: Babiez is causing us to imagine MAKING babies! And then actually doing it! Before marriage!
"I cannot come up with any legitimate reason that an adult would be playing that particular game"
REALLY?! Gee, I dunno... maybe because it's FUN?! Pardon me, a 29 year old adult, for playing these kiddie games. What WAS I thinking?! Where is that Trivial Pursuit or Wii Solitaire that I SHOULD be playing?! I AM on foot in the grave, after all and can't have too much stimulation from those kiddie games.
I hate the human race, sometimes/mostly/all the time.

To bad they didn't mention co-op specifically but only multiplayer.
Agreed completely though.

how ridiculous would that be... 7 players co-op looking for a certain zombie (8p) to kill.
DO IT!

Definitely looking forward to the Zombie-slaying with a friend though, everything's more fun with improvised weapons!

Sure, adults don´t play Animal Crossing, they also don´t play stuff like Pokemon! This guy should get a cup of STFU.

Oh, okay Andy. Thanks for clearing that up, seeing as your obviously such an expert.

I guess it's true what they say: you don't turn from green, if you know what I mean.
