It's not at all like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Not at all, not at all.

So, Dead Rising with a girl?

Though hopefully with no awful escort missions or poorly conceived boss fights.

I have high hopes for this game. New IPs are always exciting, and Suda51 has definitely been behind some good stuff in the past. Will be keeping an eye on this one.

So I got my preorder copy earlier today..

From the looks of it, the Amazon and Bestbuy preorder people got screwed big time..

Everything from both of their preorder deals was inside the game case for me [ codes for Foxy Funk, Rockabilly, Goth Girl, and Jimmy Urine ], and that's in addition to my Ash code I got on paper for getting it at EBGames/Gamestop..

Haven't had a chance to play it yet.. that's for later tonight :)

If you get a chance, let us know what you think :)

I have no doubt that people better at playing games than me could get it done in 4hrs.. But I don't judge a game based on it's length, it's on how much fun I have playing it.. and so far I'm having fun :)

Only complaint so far is there are a few times where it kinda locks your camera view.. which I find rather annoying.. but that's only happened once or twice so far..

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
    • Gotta' buy that there Rufus guy a beer if I ever meet him. He makes good stuff.
