ALRIGHT THIS IS HOW THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN


I am extending signups until THURSDAY. There are, however, stipulations.

I can either fill two slots, or six slots. So, if I only get two people, great. If I can get six people, even better. If there any number of participants from 2-6, then there will be a random drawing conducted with http://randomizer.org 's tools to fill two slots. If there are six, all six are immediately entered. If there is over seven, then there will be a drawing. And one spot is reserved.

If I cannot get at least two people in, then the tournament will be conducted with Two Blocks of Seven People.

Lastly, I want to extend an open invitation and reservation of a spot to LordOfUltima, who had the decency to advertise his own tournament in my thread. I admit, I was angered, but then I started thinking, and you know what? I'll get even instead! You can go ahead and use Akuma! But everyone who's in the tournament will know that your whining is what got you preferential treatment. Or, they'll know that I tried to meet you halfway, and you weren't able to man up. The ball is in your court! TOURNAMENT WARRRR~~~

Now that I'm done puffing my chest and flushing my plumage, let's do something productive. I can confirm TWO of FOUR blocks! What I mean by this is, no matter if we do two blocks of seven people or four blocks of four- or five-  people, that these two groups of four will be facing eachother either way.

GROUP 1:
Echo Nova X
n4t3do66
WallaceTheGreat
SteepInKline

GROUP 2:
RepasDeLaValeur
MetPurifier
Meltbrain
Albedosshadow

NOTE TO THE OTHER SIX: This doesn't mean you're not in the tournament, just that you're not currently assigned pending further sign-ups.

Well, I was about to post "next entrant gets in" but Echo Nova X was nice enough to give me an even numbering of blocks. So, thanks to him, we can now PROCEED WITH THE TOURNAMENT!


...

...

As soon as I've seeded everything and had time to go over what online functionality consists of. Stay tuned!

MINOR EDIT: Because we're like 10 short, I'm currently considering other options. I'm weighing two options. So, hey, anyone who's still interested in participating, but missed signups, post your gamertag anyways, because you might end up getting in.

Co-op undermines Dead Rising. Here's how:

1) It ruins the tension. If people are playing with friends, then there's basically no urgency since- base assumption- people will be talking to their friends like they normally do, and sharing their awesome moments. So any attempts to make the player feel like he's in a tense situation, like the 72 hour clock in the last game, will fall flat on their face.

2) It ruins the difficulty. With one person, it's decently hard work fighting off hordes of zombies. But if Left 4 Dead taught us anything, it's that real zombies aren't that bad. There's not enough "special" zombies generating on a routine basis to actually make parts of the game tense and difficult. Instead, it's just mowing down hordes.

3) It complicates the narrative. You would have to write the game especially for two people, but also, so it works in case one of them isn't there. Which is great in, say, light gun shooters, but on an action game as odd as Dead Rising got, you would basically have to write two seperate stories that would change as people accomplished things.

Now. If Capcom can fix all these problems, then, hey, awesome. But I don't think they'll even try for co-op, since RE5 is the big co-op zombie shooter right now, and they don't want to undermine the appeal- limited as it is- of that game.

Just trying to gauge interest.
