‘Dead Rising 2’ and ‘Off the Record’ Move to Steamworks Today
If it’s wacky zombie mayhem you want, now is the best time to boot up those neglected copies of Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record that have almost definitely been sitting in your Steam library, gathering dust. Today, both games have finally dropped support for Games for Windows Live, replacing Microsoft’s DoA gaming service with Valve’s Steamworks.
This move comes with some potential issues however, as the transition only works if you purchased the game(s) on Steam. If you bought a digital copy through GfWL, then you’re stuck with it. The activation code in GfWL retail copies can be redeemed on Steam.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that Marketplace DLC won’t carry over to Steamworks. “DLC content purchased directly from Microsoft’s GFWL Marketplace store will not carry over to Steam due to the lack of CD/activation key,” writes Capcom in a post on their Unity blog.
Both games have tools built in to transfer save data and achievements to Steam, so you won’t lose any of those, and now each game has added support for matchmaking, achievements, leaderboards, cloud saves and, eventually, trading cards.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
