File this one under a big ol' label of
what: apparently, we haven't yet seen the "final" version of
Dead Rising: Chop 'Til You Drop. Considering we've seen tons of video and screenshots, and people have actually played it, we're starting to wonder just what's going on. According to Nintendo Everything, where they've got a quote from Seth Killian, a Capcom community manager, the versions people have gotten their hands on at recent shows were nothing more than tech demos, and the final version will have
more zombies (and some other unnamed changes). But Killian also says he hasn't played this rumored "final" version.
If "no press or media" has seen the
real game, then that must almost certainly include the
screenshots ... and why release them if they're not accurate? This sounds like so much smoke being blown that it's tempting to discard it altogether, particularly since Nintendo Everything didn't source the quote. But if this is to be believed, Capcom is still pushing the
"100 onscreen zombies" line, which is certainly fine with us!
In the end, while
Chop 'Til You Drop will be different from the Xbox 360's original
Dead Rising, it still looks like a barrel of bloody fun, and that's probably what matters. But it's certainly weird to have been hot and cold over footage and imagery that isn't representative of the game.
