    Okay, I plan on doing a final playthrough of Case Zero before I crack open Dead Rising 2, and I have a few questions about transferring save games:
     
    1. Does the save I transfer have to be a completed game, or can it be any save regardless if it's completed or not?
     
    2. Does saving the survivors in Still Creek have any bearing on Dead Rising 2, or the save game that I'll transfer? If there are stat, or story reasons that recognize the people I saved in Case Zero, I'd rather do that before I transfer a save.
     
    3. Are there any other perks to loading in a save game from Case Zero, besides transferring PP, levels, combo cards/scratch cards?

    1. I don't know since I finished the content. Which isn't hard to do. 
     
    2. Nothing story wise or anything to do with survivors in Case Zero affect the main story in DR 2. 
     
    3. No other perks besides what is transferred from Case Zero.

    @Afroman269: I forgot to ask, but what about the Zombrex vials? I bought two Zombrex vials to complete the $100,000 achievement, so that'd be sweet if I could transfer those vials in.

    You can transfer any save, it doesn't really matter since it's just transferring your level and cards. To answer your last question it does also carry across the clothing you collected in Case Zero, none of which are available in Dead Rising 2 so if you don't import you can't wear them. Overall it really doesn't matter.

    @Napalm: Can't say since I think I used up mine. I highly doubt it carries over.

    @Napalm: I doubt the Zombrex would carry over, since in Case Zero they're an 8 hour formula, and in Dead Rising 2 it's 24-hour strength.

    Minus the Plaid Suit, but that's easily my least favourite costume from Case Zero. I miss my Hunting Jacket T.T

    The money also doesn't transfer. I hoped it did. I figured a cool forty-five thousand would come in handy.

    @Napalm: What I got was 5 levels worth of XP and $2,000 from my case zero save.

    That's true,. I forgot but that thing is hideous. They missed the most obvious though, Chuck's default clothes from Case Zero.

    Good point. So it doesn't transfer even from a Case Zero save file?

    @Abyssfull:  Nope. I liked that the most, except maybe the bowling shirt. Seems like they plan to release DLC costumes though. After all the pre-order stuff who knows what they'll release.

    @Napalm: I just transferred my save file over, so I'll answer your questions as best I can. 
     
    1. Yes you can transfer any of them, it said I could transfer my unfinished game save if I so wanted. 
    2. No, it doesn't take that into account. 
    3. You get your level, you get money (Only up to $2000 though), your cards and the clothes from Case Zero (They can be found in the shower room of the safe house). 
     
    Hope that clears things up mate.

    I'm pretty sure the plaid suit is still in Dead Rising 2, so there's not really any point in it transferring over.

    I know it is. That's what I said before; it's the only outfit from Case Zero that can be found in DR2. I was talking about Chuck's default Case Zero costume.

    Thanks for the replies guys. I just started my first playthrough last night with a transferred Case Zero file. I wish they would have transferred the money over. It would be nice to start with a large amount than two thousand.

    I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I have $45,500 from the save I transferred, and it didn't give me that back.
