DEAD RISING is one of my favourite games.

DEAD RISING 2 has 4 parts
A disc-based full game release on SEP 28 (US release date)
A downloaded xbox exclusive episode called "CASE ZERO" which provides the linkage between DEAD RISING 1 and 2, released on AUG 31
Another DLC xbox exclusive episode called "CASE WEST".
"Off the record" A disc-based full game largely based on Dead Rising 2, but the main character is changed to Frank West, from DR1. The ending is different from DR2, but the survivors and psycopaths are mainly the same.

CASE ZERO and CASE WEST is available on XBOX Live now (it is regional lock however. meaning if you are a SG account user, you will need a SG IP to download it)

I am waitingggg for case zero....

those jtag owners already enjoyed this...

Just check SG marketplace, still don't have...

If I create a profile under JP or US, after i download the CASE ZERO, can I still use my SG profile to play it?

You're checking the web? Basically the web and accessing from the box sometimes they dont update at the same time. I downloaded through the box on my SG account already..

This is sweeeeeeeet....

it's definitely out now. downloading the trial.

Yup, first post updated.

looks good. and its only at 400 MS points! i wonder if it's worth the money even at that price. will try it out soon!

You can try the Demo first if you are unsure to spend 400 pts

I got an error message while trying to purchase the game:

"This item isn't available from your current location."

SG account.

same problem here

Argh, should've bought this last night before the region blocked it.

No wonder. Sigh.

damm i also getting the error not available on your location..

US account..

Damm baru only buy MS Points...

eh a lot of people can't play?

i bought&download it @ 8PM last night.

when you start playing it, be prepared for really low quality textures.

low quality texture? i played the demo and it works fine (better quality then DR 1)

i am using SG account and also just bought MS points last night... i think i last tried around 10pm++ but can't unlock the full game due to regional issue.

something about chuck and his daughter's face seems wrong. i just can't place it.

good news for Dead Rising 1 fans though.
Guns are actually viable now! And you can CLIMB ON TOP OF CARS!

Reassuring news: Lady zombies still go for crotch first!

Did anyone try vpn??
What i know is ip block for it

Vpn might work

WTF? WTF is wrong with Crapcom keep on blocking IP

hmm whats wrong with you guys? are u all having problem not able to play the game on SG account? i have just checked mine, i dont see any problem. you guys on gold account?

lucky i didnt waste my point here
lol

I also can't download using SG account. Get the same error message -- Not available in your location.

Argh. Anyone has found a working solution. Web proxy? VPN?

I am on Silver. Did you downloaded it on Sep 1 when the game first came out?


Anyway, I am not able to play it, and i tried this - I downloaded a change IP software and change my IP to Singapore, then i went to xbox.com.sg to purchase it. It worked.

But the problem now is - my XBOX does not recognise the purchase, i was still playing the demo.
So I deleted the demo, and re-downloaded the full game, it stucked at 99% and failed download. error 80070017 which i checked on microsoft support site, and did try a few solution as the site suggested. none of it worked.
I can't even download the demo now (same, failed at 99%).

This post has been edited by Dark NT: Sep 3 2010, 02:01 AM

I have read elsewhere about this problem -- when you are downloading, if you don't have an SG IP it will stop at 99%. The only way to complete is to get a SG IP and continue downloading.

That's gonna be a real challenge. We can change IP to SG via computer but not via xbox..

Exactly ... using web proxy won't work also

hmm i think i got the demo when it just appear. probably midnight on 31st aug or was it 1st sept dont really remember.

i tried downloading using my US account and SG account on the 1st around 8pm... cant work

Guess ill keep my points and wait for the full game.

nooo

you gotta play this to get 200GS and start @ level 5 in DR2.

how my friend...how ?

i believe capcom pulled the asia region version for DR:Case Zero because there was a glitch on the build.

i think its reported in Kotaku.

dem i planned to buy some ms points for this game since, seems capcom blocks our ip to download this game.

hmm i tried puchasing, it doesnt work, only the demo works...

Been reading up ... looks like I have to subscribe to Singapore VPN service + use PC/laptop as bridge to connect Xbox 360 ... so complicated

anyone can purchase it with SG account?

well, maybe we should just wait a few more day & see if the asian version is released

The game has been IP region locked after the first day, so it's not that its not available in Singapore, just that.. it's locked, and we cant get to it anymore. Find a VPN I guess.

hmm but reading from kotaku its like the asian version had some bug in it? so it was delayed?

not sure if its true

not delayed. it's already available on SG Xbox Live

so ppl who didnt get it earlier, its just gonna miss this?

everybody here is gonna miss this cause if you don't have Singapore IP, you wont be able to download it.

but problem is i already got the demo on the first day, i get to play the demo now, just cant purchase it ...

Finally I found to ways to download it and purchase from M$
But it required to have to 2 connections
(i.e. laptop connect to xbox via Lan and laptop connect to wireless modem Via WIFI.)

1.Go to your-freedom.net to download the software from them.- http://www.your-freedom.net/index.php?id=downloads

2.Register account at there, it’s free.

3.Download openvpn.- http://openvpn.net/

4.install both software…After that, Open the “your freedom” software.

5.After done wizard, open the “openVpn Client”, then Go to “C:\Users\XXXX”Double click the “client.ovpn.



Make sure the setting at “your freedom” is same like mine, and the “client” connection is appearing on the “openVpn” software.



After that, go to network connections (im using windows 7), share the TAP-Win32 to network user.

I assume you know what to do next…

Tip… if u can download until 99% with Malaysia IP and error appear. Don’t delete the file keep it… Continues download or purchase it with other country IP.
(i.e. I’m using SG account so I complete my download with SG IP.)
Because of the “your-freedom.net” offer free account so the max speeds is 64k…
OK that it… Im sorry if u hav hard time to read my English…

alright for the first part, we need a twisted network cable for our xbox to connect to our laptop? or the network cable that comes with the xbox would work? while doing that our laptop's wireless connection connects to the internet?

im just use normal cable (not from xbox) to connect my xbox to my laptop(inspiron 1420) it work fine. ya u can connect to internet while doing tat or after tat notthing wrong with it.

KCTai.. great guide here.

I am using office laptop and can't share the network.. but already successfully completed other steps. will try to source another laptop to do this.

i have not done this my self, but you should try both type of network cables. straight through cable and a crossover cable (aka twisted pair cable).

after reading many reviews from the net.. I decided to wait for the actual game to purchase. 400 pts for a demo... I think its not worth for me(M$ is not friendly to MY players too). This is some kind of bad practice... charging player's $ to paid for a demo.

demo is free.

full game is 400 points.

Great guide from KCTai!

I have downloaded and started playing the full Case 0 game!!

Its a lot of hassle and i had to buy a RM62 USB Wifi adapter ... but it's worth it. Great game.

Added on September 7, 2010, 1:02 amby the way, following KCTai's method, just need a normal LAN cable, no need cross over cable.

I'm afraid that Dead Rising 2 will become the NEXT lost planet 2 I mean the most god-awful game ever.

alright cool, ill get this done during this weekend.

YAY achieved all achievements!!

so fast... isit worth it ?

Worth every single Ms points..

I foresee I will play it again and again until the main game comes out. I have completed the game 4-5 times but still yet to try out everything.

hmm i forgot to ask, what about the IP for the xbox? we gonna set it manual following the the laptop or just set it auto?

I connect the xbox to my laptop/pc by changing the network setting to

xbox -> PC

i think im stuck at step 5

5.After done wizard, open the “openVpn Client”, then Go to “C:\Users\XXXX”Double click the “client.ovpn.

my wizard scans for freedom server never ending. so i dont see any client.ovpn file...

im on winxp btw.

Also, managed to download Dead Rising 2 and another on-demand game.

1. Connected Xbox to Laptop via standard Ethernet cable (not crossover)
2. Bridged Lan (Xbox) to Wireless LAN
3. I set up VPN (I used paid VPN for faster speed)
4. Configured VPN to allow access to my bridged network

And it worked.

i cannot find client.ovpn on winxp, where is it located at ?

edit:- found the file, it only appear after "your Freedom" had started once.

i seriously need abit more info on this.

1) freedom is giving me this error, are you sure openvpn is installed? (for my case its installed, i try running freedom first then openvpn same msg, then i tried openvpn first only run freedom still same msg)

2) another freedom error is "cannot write config file c:\documents and settings\user\.ems.cfg"

3) when over the last steps where i choose to share the internet connection on the TAP-Win32 adapter, im suppose to choose my Local Area Connection as the private network selection right? if i do that it gave me an error saying somethings like the IP address is being used.

the last few part of the guide isnt very clear, i would also like to know do i just leave all the network adapters with auto IP? or i have to set manual ip for my xbox & the TAP-Win32 adapter? kinda confuse here if some 1 could clear this up.

Hi IccyAsd,

I was using Win 7 and did not encounter the issues you mentioned.. actually i also ran into few problems.. had to read the guides on freedom website to get better explanation.

regarding your Q3, it depends what is your source of internet connection, it could be Wifi (my case), or maybe u are using LAN line.

my was :

modem/router broadcasting wifi --> Desktop with wifi usb --> desktop lan cable --> xbox

so my source of internet was wifi.

This post has been edited by Dark NT: Sep 10 2010, 12:39 PM

yeah my source is also wifi, same like yrs, but im using a laptop atm.
so im suppose to choose wireless connection as the private network selection during Network Sharing?

---

Added on September 10, 2010, 12:49 pmwhat about IP address?

if i choose wireless, it will auto set my wireless IP to 192.168.0.1 then i will lose connection to the internet. as 192.168.0.1 is my router IP

---

Added on September 10, 2010, 2:50 pmalright i got things working now, but i have still alittle problem " Connection to host ems21.your-freedom.de failed, proxy denied connection: 590 Cannot connect to **.***.**.*** port 443"

im also still having this error "are you sure openvpn is installed?"

now to help the others, you had to make sure your local wireless connection doesnt run on the IP "192.168.0.*" or else the internet connection sharing doesnt work. thats because when you do the ICS it will set the lan adapter to 192.168.0.1.

over the Xbox you had to set manual IP same range as 192.168.0.* gateway is 192.168.0.1 same goes for primary DNS.

i manage to connect to HK server, but i wasnt allow to purchase. so i think i need to connect to SG server for it to work, but bcoz i connect to SG server i got the above error "Connection to host ems21.your-freedom.de failed, proxy denied connection: 590 Cannot connect to **.***.**.*** port 443" so im kinda stuck here, if u guys know whats wrong let me know im like 99% done.

This post has been edited by IccyAsd: Sep 10 2010, 10:18 PM

I think sometimes the SG server is not available. You might have to wait until the SG server has "yes" on it.

well when i scan the server it shows YES, funny things is i tried HK it works... just SG doesnt so i guess i have no choice to just wait.

could you pls try yours see if it works now ? just to confirm

Source : Gamespot TGS 2010

quote from gamespot :
Capcom has just announced that the full retail version of Dead Rising 2 will eventually be followed up by a downloadable “epilogue” to complement the “prologue” that is Case Zero. Those were the words used by series creator Keiji Inafune as he announced the upcoming Dead Rising 2: Case West, also a stand-alone Xbox 360 exclusive.

Those who played the original Dead Rising will likely raise an eyebrow at the title of this upcoming downloadable follow-up. Well, the word “West” is no coincidence. Dead Rising 2 protagonist Chuck Greene will be teaming up with original hero and veteran zombie killer/photographer Frank West in a quest to further explore the zombie outbreak.

See the full story here : http://tgs.gamespot.com/story/6275947/dead...ies%3Btitle%3B2

With internet game developers have found more ways to suck our money
But just like case zero I am sure this is a good DLC.



In this picture you can clearly see Frank West.

so what now? i havent even get my Case 0 purchased with the region lock problem, now another Case West?

hoping this DLC is not IP lock..

well if we cant get case 0 whats the point getting case west? they should have not region lock the game since they dont lose anything.

its so difficult to even buy somethings with $.

and lastly when this DLC available on LIVE, Im hoping the Case 0 also temporary available for download again.. gonna act fast la that time..

Well for those who did not manage to get case 0 due to IP lock, i think capcom will release a "gold edition" or "alternate edition" later.. just like Resident Evil 5. so be cool

Just got the game. Aside from terrible loading times (even installed on the box), it's good. Zombie goodness.

Too many games FFS!!!!!

Yeah.. luckily the loading is like for one BIG section of the map, unfortunately.. if you just exit saferoom, and someone to rescue right in front....

Say... when you save and load game, does it take a long time for you? it is for me, even with Case 0, so I wonder if it's just me or other ppl as well?

shit. didn't realised this is out already. haven't even started reach's campaign yet and this is here. damn.

oh well, you can never go wrong with zombies!!!!!!!

Yes, you can't go wrong with zombies.

Seems like there's a bug in the game where if you save while playing coop, it pretty much always disconnects.

Loading game is long. Saving however takes only a few seconds for me.

Added on September 21, 2010, 10:03 pmCase 0 can co-op? or do you mean the main game

This post has been edited by Dark NT: Sep 21 2010, 10:03 PM

main game coop

Yeah, loading games takes as long as loading a new area. Snore.

OMG, if you combine the flashlight and gems, you get a light saber. They're easily found in the maintenance room backstage at the Slot Ranch Casino. Along with some

Oh... ok, at least I can get a hit then without looking too far.

Rocket Launcher - Lead Pipe with Rocket Fireworks

Will try Laser Sword - Gems with a Flashlight

Where can I find the Blanka head?

The lightsaber is cool.

Take the vaccum cleaner and match with saw blade. Vaccum can be found at the back of the safehouse.

Anyone realise that none of the magazine stack once weapon combine?

Waiting to get over with case 3-2 then going to farm till level 50

Blanka head, check the toy shops. Anyone found the robot bear?

Word of warning: If you join someone's game and die within their game, you'll lose any zombrex you're carrying. I lost two that I found in the game.

On the other hand, an easy way to make money is by playing the Terror Is Reality online mode. Each time you play will net you at least 30k (and that's if you play badly, like me ) Then you should have more than enough money to spend at the pawn shops.

Just curious, where you guys get the game? If my memory served me right, this game will be only release on end of this month.

some distros broke street date and gave the stock to the shops, so we bought from them

have anybody figure out how to get the 53k zombie kill achievement yet?

This is one of the situations where I feel stupid waiting to buy an original game while others are already playing/completed it.

Hello.. we did buy original lar.

Yep. Wouldn't be able to coop with mauraderz (or even play online) if I didn't buy legit.

hehehe i didn't say otherwise.

Anyway looking forward to Sep28.. ordered mine already.

Well you should be thinking how to get 70k achievement. Well the best is use the bike + chainsaw + bike magazine (bike durability x3) and then go up and down from silver strip to platinum strip.

Well I'm not going to do it unless they telling me there is mega man buster or some special item.

In DR1, it meant forgotting about the mission, and just driving around a car and running down zombies in the tunnels.

I never acheive the 53K in DR1.. too time consuming and tedious task..

Getting 53K in DR1 meant getting the ROCKMAN CANNON!

I could use magazine which can boost weapon durability, can any sifu point out the location of the magazines are? thnx.

Obvious location are the bookstores, I haven't used much magazines yet since they waste valuable inventory slots. Also... for durability it all depends on what kind of weapons they are (at least in DR1 they did) so it's not just a simple increase weapon durability book.

It's rockman X-Buster.

Well pointless to do 72k kills just for the achievement as someone did it but there is no special item given.

Added on September 24, 2010, 5:48 pmI found another way to gain money quick.

You need 3 gambling magazine and a 20k capital. The go to sloth ranch casino and use the biggest slot machine ($1000 max bet)

Average you will get 100k less then 5 minutes. I'm already a millionaire with it.
