Dead Rising Text Patch: No Dice
Capcom has responded to the tiny text issue on Dead Rising, that’s a huge problem for SD TV owners. 1-up contacted Capcom, and here’s their response:
“Dead Rising was optimized for HD and we offered some suggestions for SD TV owners. Due to the amount of text and the size of the patch necessary to change the text, a patch isn’t possible for this issue. We had asked the team if it was even possible but … due to the scope of what a patch would need to cover, it wasn’t possible.”
This whole text issue is bizarre. Did nobody at Capcom think that this would be an issue? Anyone can plainly see that the text is far too small, even on HDTV. How did this slip through the development of the game? We can postulate ‘till the cows come home, but here are my suggestions:
-Sit 12” from the TV. You’ll be able to read the text, and the game will truly become an all encompassing next-gen experience. Who really cares about damaging your vision? At least you will be able to read whatever Otis is yammering on about.
-Get a huge TV magnifying glass. Remember the kind that grandma would put in front of the TV when she watched her soaps? Sure it looks a little strange when company comes over, they’ll turn around once they see the text size.
-Forget all of the text. Who really cares about all of these silly missions? Just kill some damn zombies and enjoy the game for what it’s worth.
