Otis calls?

[Vengeance]

I think my biggest gripe about this were those calls from Otis, will they make it less annoying this time around?

hope not, I want the same experience like in the 360, I like DR1 because of all those things that make it harder to play (like dodging zombies while otis call you ten times), don"t want it to be ruined with simplier mechanics even if it was tedious from time to time

[Hey Sonny]

I never had a problem with Otis. I always wished he had a voice, though...

Anyways, I'm pretty sure this is an exact port of the Xbox 360 verison with no differences except for hd resolutions, 60+ fps, and improved load times.

I also got pretty annoyed by Otis. That said, the size of the text was super small since I wasn't playing in 1080p as I didn't have a TV that supported it at the time, so it was extra annoying.

I agree, the only changes I want are bug fixes and optimisation.

But arent they going to add mutliple saveslots already? Its not that big a deal anyways, i was just wondering. Being defenseless during a call makes more sense then a simple pop up text, but it would be a nice touch if the player could tell Otis to hang on/pause for abit when hes in a pinch, and/or be able to climb/jump during a call. Then Otis wouldnt have to call back and yell at you for being RUDE.

I don't even want bug fixes really, some of them give the game character All I would change is making the AI climb the ledge into the safe house. Having said that though, Otis can eat a ♥♥♥♥. To this day answering that jerk is the one thing I never got the achievement for http://i.imgur.com/pPzXGyH.png on principle. I hope to continue the trend with this game :D

Same here.
Getting pissed at Otis was part of the charm that DR1 had.

The only fixes I want are 60FPS, text that isn't microscopic, and save points on Survivor mode, so I don't have to play 14 hours straight for the Beam Saber.

WHAT!! I loved them. Plus they gave you a ton of time to complete them, So you could easily get 100% in the game... I want the orginal xbox experience <3

Well people asked for the original game, so don't be so keen on any changes.

Remember this is capcom pc ports come in two flavors; worse than the console version or better than everything else. Expect the first but hope for the second.

Otis was never my annoyance, the small text sizes which were unreadable were.

[Enig]

In the pc gameplay video that was uploaded to youtube you will notice he gets attacked at 8:07. Fast forward to 8:47 and you can see that Otis doesnt scold him for cutting him off. Looks like they removed that line of dialogue entirely. Now he just repeats his earlier message.

They were annoying because you coudn't do anything while he was calling and if you got grabbed they started over.

Otis is so my Pit Guy

How dare you? And what is that?

"A pit guy is someone you've been obsessed with for so long... that it's driven you crazy enough to throw them in a pit in your basement like in The Silence of the Lambs."

At this point I have half a mind to boot up Dead Rising 2 just to experience empathy and understanding on the other end of the Radio.

I don't know, but I swear Otis "speaks" faster.
