Second, before I saw promos for the movie above, I would have thought such a photo was that of shoppers at a mall the morning after Thanksgiving. I have seen people lined up at midnight outside stores which open up as early as 5 am. Sadly, I never got to go as I worked graveyard for years and always missed out on stuff like get a tv for a dollar for the first 50 shoppers, but this year, I am not working and can finally go to an after Thanksgiving sale. The craziest one I ever saw was at Macy's in New York. Talk about a cattle call ! " Rollin, rollin' rollin, keep them shoppers movin' ....big sale " :wink:

DR: Focus on a reporter Frank West and his uncovering the plot on how zombies came to be. DotD: (remake) Saving one person in another building with no one alive in mall. DR: Saving numerous people inside the mall and outside the mall. Saving people from killers and cultists. DotD: (original)Biker gang in mall at beginning mall scene that all die. DR: Cultists, terrorists, government agents, all out to kill Frank West. DotD: No idea for zombie plague. DR: Frank West founds out plot of where the zombie plague comes from.</i> ^Found this on Kotaku Dead Rising is both a homage to and a parody of the movie, basically. Also, Capcom could countersue MKR since the argument can be made that Romero's new Diary of the Dead is a rip-off of Dead Rising. It’s obvious that nobody involved with MKR even played the game, since the game had nothing to do with the movie other than a similiar setting, which is where the similiarities end.

But DR was a success and so they are bothering. At any rate, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody. @Chris – talondesigns is saying that HAD Dead Rising been a financial failure MKR wouldn’t even bother with a lawsuit.

And even Night Of The Living Dead was a ripoff of earlier ideas. it’s retarded considering Dawn Of The Dead has very few original ideas itself.

I would most certainly NOT call it: Dawn of The Dead: The Game... And as we all know, if Dead Rising had failed completely, This "MKR" Group wouldn't even bother to sue them in the first place (because they wouldn't get enough money out of it)...
