Personally, killing zombies should never be educational.

Oh... I hate Shenmue, I haven't even played it, but I hate it. ...huh? Shenmue was for the Dreamcast, like Typing of the Dead, I wanted to say that while we were on the subject. And oh yeah, I got Dead Rising, and I can't read the letters, you said you could read it fine when you played at James' house, what kind of TV does he have? |

James was probably reading it for him. It's in colorblind code.

The creators had the bright Idea of optimizing it for HDTVs.

found this on wikipedia:
"Small text
Dead Rising has drawn complaints from gamers that have standard definition sets and smaller high definition sets for having difficulty reading the on-screen text. This is due to Capcom's decision to develop exclusively for HD gamers, as the game had been touted as one of the first truly "next generation" titles available for the Xbox 360. On August 10, 2006, a Capcom representative posted the following on Xbox.com:
' Dear Everyone,
I have heard your concerns and passed them to every source within Capcom possible. I feel your pain as I, myself, have a large SDTV and am having trouble reading the mission objectives, item names, etc.
Unfortunately it does take time to resolve any issue and we would want to fix the issue appropriately as any changes to any game can create additional problems from the result of change; that's just how game programming works and that's why games go through extensive game testing programs and approvals.[27]'
A week later, Capcom released a statement saying they would not be fixing the problem and suggested some DIY solutions:
' Unfortunately Dead Rising was optimized for High Definition TV's. Due to this, the font in the game might be difficult to read on standard definition TV's. If you are having a hard time reading the text, please try the following: 1.) Adjust the settings on your TV or monitor. 2.) Try using component cables instead of standard composite. 3.) Setting the TV to widescreen ratio (even though you may not have a widescreen TV) may help in some cases.[28] '
Using a VGA output cable is also a solution to the problem, with most monitors being able to display in 720p resolution.
While the small text within Dead Rising cannot be fixed, Capcom responded quickly to avoid similar criticism on the same issue for their next major Xbox 360 game, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. When the demo was released in late 2006, it also had significant amounts of small text, and responding to these complaints, Capcom adjusted the game prior to release to detect the use of a standard TV and increasing the font size as needed.[29]"

Yeah, I've seen that too, should've remembered it when I bought it, just like I should have remembered rainbow six sux when i bought that one too. Anyway, I have two solutions I'm going to try out: Playing it on my living room's TV, and playing it on my brother's projector. By the way Anta, what are you doing this Wednesday? you free?

I just might, though there's no telling with our crammed schedules when exactly I'd get around to playing it. Is that a catch 22?
