00:09It's still a really broad game
00:12It's a game that is still
00:14too big to see
00:15probably your first time through
00:18and that's an element that we thought
00:20was integral to the DR license
00:21we thought it was great that you had to
00:24you know you can play through once
00:26and try to
00:27try to finish the storyline
00:29but you may want to go through again
00:30and try to save all the survivors and just see
00:32all of the different things and side scoops
00:34that you might have missed the first time through
00:36I think replay was something that a lot of players
00:39liked about the first one
00:40The biggest point that we wanted to emphasize
00:43when we first discussed
00:45a sequel of Blue Castle
00:47was that it should be a game
00:49that takes place over 72 hours
00:50just like the original
00:52It's that you being able to do whatever you want to
00:54within the allotted time
00:56that sort of creates the Dead Rising
00:59esque nature to the game
01:00so that's one area that we agreed right from the start
01:02absolutely needed to be in the game
01:04The goals for co-op
01:06I mean the co-op itself was such a huge
01:08huge goal for us
01:10you know that it play well
01:12that it function well
01:13that you be able to invite a friend
01:16drop in and drop out
01:18that was really important to us
01:20but also that you know the experience
01:22was positive for both players
01:24in terms of advancement in the game
01:26co-op was always something for us
01:28that was a necessity right from the start
01:29so we aligned you know our team
01:32technically to be able to achieve that
01:33so technical wasn't an issue for us
01:35it was committed on right from the start
01:38but when a host invites a friend and a guest
01:42into their game
01:43their benefit is that they now
01:45he now has two people
01:46helping against the storyline
01:48so the host keeps the story
01:50they own the story
01:51so if they needed help getting past a particular part
01:55they can call a friend in
01:57and he keeps that storyline
01:59he keeps all the PP
02:00and cash
02:01and combo weapons he discovers
02:04but also the guest when he leaves
02:07while he doesn't own the story
02:08he does own all of the PP that he's earned
02:11all of the combo weapons
02:12and all the cash he's earned as well
02:14it was sort of like our dream
02:16to be able to add that mode to the game
02:18and we've been able to accomplish that with Dead Rising 2
02:21which is great
