Is Dead Rising Out For Your Xbox’s Brains Again?

Well, here’s something familiar that we’ve been hearing about since the game’s launch. Until now, more people are relating their experiences with Dead Rising which range from freezing up or not starting at all. Though many also state that the game runs on their systems just fine and that perhaps problematic games may just need more ventilation for the consoles, the number of people who have not been so fortunate is getting a little hard to ignore.

Various members of message boards such as the ones in Capcom.com, Ars Technica and IGN have related their experiences of getting a disc read error message though though they had a pristine copy of the game. Some have even told stories of pausing Dead Rising to get up for a while, and then coming back to find the disc error message on their screens. Some have said that what solved the problem was removing the hard drive, thus hinting that the ultimate solution for everyone else experiencing this problem may be a patch for the game itself.

One member also says that he called Microsoft support and was told that there are “multiple known issues with Dead Rising and that MS is working with Capcom on a fix.” With so many people testifying that there are various issues about this game that needs to be fixed, as well as the acknowledgement that has been received from MS support that there is indeed a problem with the title, what does this spell for the future of this game?
