Attention, Achievement Whores! Dead Rising Achieve

Dec 18, 2007 // Kramez

That got your attention faster than news of Avatar’s easy Achievement hack , didn’t it? MTv’s games blog, Multiplayer , has been digging in to the glorious mystery of everyone’s favorite invisible nerd points and just set their sites on Dead Rising . MTv conversed via email with DR game designer Goda Hidehiro about inspirations behind the Achievements, why all the game’s Achievements are the same worth regardless of difficulty and his personal take on why we keep chasing those points which are worth less than your epic WoW mount du jour. Dead Rising is not only a truly awesome game, but also boasts some of my favorite Achievements, such as points for walking 33 feet on zombie heads (“Zombie Road”), knocking over zombies with an umbrella (“Raining Zombies”) and an Achievement for escorting 8 female survivors simultaneously (“Frank the Pimp”). IMHO, The single most creative Achievement in this or any 360 game is “Zombie Genocider,” which comes from killing 53,594 zombies — the population of the town, as seen on the Welcome to Wilamette sign on the helicopter ride to the mall — and rewards the player with 20 measly points and Mega Man’s MegaBuster weapon. Dope!
