    The guy is doing public relations. His job is to make every aspect of the game sound like a good thing - even the bad stuff. I think it's pretty clear that this will be a crippled version of Dead Rising though.

    No...

    The press wants to know what's different in the Wii version. The "bad" differences are huge differences. Of course, you're not going to say "Yeah, this sucks. We're missing a lot of stuff".


    You have to make everything sound convincing. That's PR.

    Exactly. Pretty much all the differences in the Wii version are for the worse, and that guy's job is to sell it. He actually does a pretty good job if you're Joe Schmoe Casual listening to his script, but for the "hardcore gamers" it makes the game sound like it's been dumbed down to a zombie killing sim without any challenge at all.

    It's pretty hard for a PR person to try to say that the Wii version is superior, if they did that, they would come off as sounding unintelligent. Making false claims really wouldn't look good because they also still want to make profits from the 360 version. They have to explain the differences to entice customers to buy the game either way, as well as persuade people with both a Wii and 360 to buy both versions.

    They don't really want to swing it as being superior, but just worthwhile.

    Alot of people didn't play Dead Rising for the zombies, but wanted to explore a virtual mall.  The Wii version now gives that to them.
