That’s interesting, I was thinking X10 would be pretty much entirely about first-party stuff.

What time does it kick off, Johnny? Any idea?

To be honest, I don’t know.

I do know it is a four hour event, and with the NPD due the same day, my guess is it would have to start at midday PST (3pm EST for Steph/8pm GMT for myself/9pm CET for Pat) and then end just as the NPD comes in, which is about 11:30 GMT.

So my money’s on it between midday and 4pm PST.

They better not mess up the Dead Rising series. The first one was a master piece. I played it a half a dozen times to see the different endings and get all [but one] of the achievements. I never understood why Capcom let the developers that made The BIGS create this game, or why they had to tack on a multiplayer component. I’ve got my fingers crossed, but I’m not holding my breath for this one.

I think calling Dead Rising a masterpiece is a bit of a stretch… but it was brilliant in It’s jankIness
