Zero Punctuation reference in Dead Rising 2: Off the record

[SuperShadowAce]

If you remember from the Dead Rising 2 review, he make a remark about how Capcom making stories is like a tumble dryer making potato salad. You can find a dryer doing just that in Off The Record.

1)Go to the bottom floor of the safehouse
2)Find room number 4

You will find a dryer and Frank will ask if that's potato salad in there.

hahaah thats pretty funny, even though I know ZP is pretty popular, its still slightly weird to me that "some guy on the internet" can actually have an effect on the games themselves, though since he liked it I supose that may have helped sales

 

[Agow95]

I love it when we find out that these big game developers listen to ZP, like when he said that instead of having a tie for infamous and prototype that the developers should send him a picture of the other games protagonist in a dress, and then they actually did, I hope that they'll do this alot more often

Seriously, that's pretty cool.

Well, at least they can take criticism well enough to include it in the game as a joke. That's really awesome.

Is there any videos or screens of this?

 

[Sparky184]

That is really awesome. I love it when game devs can take a joke and laugh at themselves a little. Also I love it when game devs put Yahtzee references in

 

[Sonicron]

Teeheehee. Love it when game devs give props in this way. I remember the guys from Epic including a gun skin in Bulletstorm that had tits and fire on it.

 

[SPARTANXIII]

This isn't the first time he's been referenced in a game.

Remember Bulletstorm? (Of course you don't) That had a weapon skin on it which made your gun have tits and was on fire. Made all because that comment on the gun that shoots shurikens and lightning from "Painkiller".

Huh.
Just checked on Steam and it's £20. A bit steep for my tastes when I still have the original DR2.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

The little respect I had for capcom as a game developer has just been improved somewhat.

 

[RemuValtrez]

I just like the fact that they can take in the criticism and put out a joke because of it. Just insane that they actually pay attention to what people say instead of ignoring it all.
