No Patch for Dead Rising Fans
1up is reporting that Capcom has put the kibosh on a patch for Dead Rising, frustrating fans who have complained about the games's almost unreadable text on Standard Definition screens. From the article: "So, the question is, will there ever be a patch? Unfortunately, that's a no. 'Due to the amount of text and the size of the patch necessary to change the text, a patch isn't possible for this issue,' said the company. 'We had asked the team if it was even possible but ... due to the scope of what a patch would need to cover, it wasn't possible.' As it stands, no patch is coming for Dead Rising players -- but maybe they'll change their mind if you yell loud enough."
In these our modern times, when people need to get something done, they resort to the big guns: internet petitions.
there is no need to sign your posts. this isn't usenet. your username is right there above your post. stop it.
Yes, because you'll be taking money away from them by encouraging people to play their game. Oh wait.
How we know is more important than what we know.
This probably just means that they are working on the next Dead Rising game, which is functionally identical to the first one, except for the fact that you can actually read the inappropriately Gothic-serif fonts.
The same reason that Smurfs are three apples high and blue.
Because they're french.
You can't win, Darth. If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
'Due to the amount of text and the size of the patch necessary to change the text, a patch isn't possible for this issue,' said the company.
That's what you get when have a zombie designer and zombie testers instead of hiring real people to think through what they're doing.
Man, I hope for your sake that some 8-year old doesn't post now with the location of the torch on that level
