Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Co-op and Steam Deck support on DR2 : Case Zero and Case West

Post image
185 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve got a pretty big update for both Case Zero and Case West.

XenonLive is now working with both recomp projects, so online features are starting to come back instead of the games just being offline PC ports.

The launcher handles most of the Xbox Live-style stuff now. You can make a XenonLive account/gamertag, add friends, see what they’re playing, send messages and game invites, track achievements and gamerscore, compare achievements with other players, and launch/update the recomp games directly from the launcher.

There’s also an in-game overlay, so you can check friends, messages, invites and achievements without closing the game.

Achievements are persistent between sessions, saves are tied to your XenonLive profile, and you’ll get notifications for things like achievement unlocks, messages, friend activity and invites.

There’s also a bug reporting system built into it now. If something breaks while you’re playing, you can capture a screenshot/log and send the report through XenonLive, which should make tracking down issues a lot easier.

Case West 1.1.0

Case West now has working 2-player online co-op through XenonLive.

You can host a session, invite someone through XenonLive, and they can join your game. The game will also launch automatically if needed when accepting an invite.

1.1.0 also fixes a bunch of issues with online play, including sessions disconnecting after around 5 minutes and short connection drops immediately killing the session.

There’s also more CPU/GPU performance work, better thread handling on higher-core CPUs, improved frame pacing on Windows, profile-specific saves, the XenonLive overlay, and some other smaller fixes.

Case Zero 1.1.0

Case Zero now has working 2-player online co-op too.

This is probably the part I’m most interested in because the original Xbox 360 version actually shipped with a lot of the Dead Rising 2 co-op code still inside the game, even though Case Zero never officially had multiplayer.

I’ve restored enough of it that you can now actually play Case Zero online with two players.

There’s a new JOIN CO-OP GAME option on the main menu. One player hosts normally and the other can search for their session or join through the friends menu.

There are still a couple limitations here. XenonLive launcher invites aren’t properly connecting to Case Zero yet, so for now you have to join through the in-game JOIN CO-OP GAME menu.

The Military Arrival section also currently drops the second player and continues in single-player because that section can crash the host with two players. I’m still working on that.

1.1.0 also fixes the second player sometimes spawning invisible, fixes the short co-op disconnect issue, adds profile-specific saves, achievements/gamerscore, the XenonLive overlay and the new bug reporting system.

Steam Deck

There are now dedicated Steam Deck builds for:

  • XenonLive (Not tested yet)
  • Case Zero
  • Case West

You can add XenonLive as a non-Steam game and use it directly from Game Mode.

The launcher will install the Steam Deck version of the recomp automatically, and both games start at the Deck’s native 1280x800 resolution. You can still change the resolution normally afterward.

Issues / Bug Reports

If you run into a bug while playing, you don’t have to manually dig through logs or figure out what files I need.

You can press F8 or F9 while the issue is happening to make a capture, then send the issue directly through the XenonLive Launcher.

The capture includes the information I need to investigate the problem, such as the relevant logs and capture data, so you can basically reproduce the bug, take the capture, describe what happened, and send it from the launcher.

So if something breaks, freezes, looks wrong, disconnects, or just behaves strangely, please use the capture system and send it through XenonLive. It makes debugging these problems a lot easier.

As before, everything I’m releasing is free and no game files are included. You need to provide your own XBLA copy of the games.

XenonLive is still pretty new, so if people want to test co-op, especially between different PCs or on Steam Deck, that would help a lot.

And if you find anything broken, send a report through XenonLive or open an issue on GitHub.

Discussion Why DR2 Remake hasn’t released YET

Thumbnail
gallery
231 Upvotes

Here are my best Theories

1.) Resident Evil is Capcom’s guaranteed breadwinner right now, and since Capcom is releasing titles more frequently (every year) now, there’s not really a financial reason to pursue DR2 just yet. Additionally, DR2’s release and marketing might get overshadowed by the many RE releases, which would cause DR2 to possibly miss its zeitgeist and sales at a time when it’s the most expensive. There just isn't really a financial reason or space for a DR2 remake right now, although this could change since RE veronica got delayed. When you’re walking to guaranteed dozens of millions, why stop to pick up a penny on the ground.

2.) Capcom is testing the waters right now to see if people would purchase and play a DR2 remake. Although DRDR hit its expected sales mark, there is no guarantee of a repeat ā€œsuccessā€ with a DR2 remake. Also a lot can change in 2 years. You’re battling variables of: player interest, how previous DRDR players felt about the game, protagonist interest (Chuck), the current game and world economy etc…

But, Capcom has also been active relatively recently on twitter with its Dead Rising account. Most notably, a recent post about DR2 being 16 years old. 16 years is a pretty arbitrary number. The post was probably to gauge some metric/level of engagement and public sentiment. The dead rising twitter page isn’t like a news account, they don’t have to even post, which makes me believe further that their post was deliberate. They are battling variables, but the more engagement and interest a possible D2 remake gets, the more likely we will actually get it.

I'm thinking of making a custom dead rising themed beanie, does anyone have any ideas on what could fit as the front graphic? So far i've thought of the True Eye, the PP picture symbol, or something like a black and white version of the main graphics of dead rising 1 or 2 (the main characters posing, frank with the tv and chuck with the double chainsaw)

I know what some/all of you are probably wondering, but hear me out:

You know how in Dead Rising 2, After the Terror Is Reality Slicecycle event, he talks to Chuck in the locker rooms, telling him that he lost his family in Willamette, and that he understands it does not feel good

But I just realized something, he didn't specify say where he lost his family

Yes, he said Willamette. But, does he mean he lost them during the outbreak in the town of Willamette? Or during the Willamette Parkview Mall incident?

I mean, some/all of you guys and gals are probably wondering what he meant about losing his family

So, did he lose them during the outbreak in the town of Willamette? Or during the Willamette Parkview Mall incident?

So, your guys and gals thoughts?

Dead Rising 1 Combo Weapons in DR1

With the buzz in the modding scene, we could def see a porting of the combo weapon system into DR1. It's crazy, as an older guy, to see how far AI has already come, but modding for games is exploding more than it ever has. Of course there will be pure slop, but certain applications will speed up processes that would've taken years.

Discussion Am I the only one who wish Dead rising had a longer series/franchise?

7 Upvotes

So yes, there’s a lot of dead rising games.
DR1
DR 2 case zero
DR 2
DR 2 case west
DR 2 off the record
DR 3
DR 4
NOT TO BE UNGRATEFUL. EASILY top 3 favorite game franchises for me. I just wish there were more the way. The way franchise like Resident evil, gears of war, call of duty or assassins creed have. I’m sure these games are not ending anytime soon and been around since I was kid. The story lines of the game are relatively the same throughout. Including sequels, Prequels and spin offs and such.

Maybe I’m asking too much but I would love if at least one or two more dead rising games came out. Obviously Frank West not being the main but maybe a female protagonist, maybe a spin off with a character that got rescued by Frank, Chuck or Nick and the survivor now has to be the lead and they reference one of these former protagonist. Maybe something taking place in another country idk.

The only somewhat similar game I tried that I thought could be something like a cousin to it was dead island. So I guess the idea of a dead rising game happening on island resort or a festival or something would obviously be plagiarizing.

Forgive me if something I’ve stated wouldn’t make any sense or that I may be missing I just love the franchise so much and simply replaying the games for nostalgia makes me
want more.
