Trivia

• This game is exclusive to China at the moment but there are talks on bringing the game to the rest of the world.
  • There is a way to play the game outside of China by getting into a Chinese server, but the connection would be very inadequate. The servers are up and running.
• In Dead Rising, unlike Zombies, it is not endless survival, as a helicopter will come to pick the player up at a certain point.
  • This makes it similar to Point of Contact in Call of Duty: Ghosts.
  • The robot zombies do have coloured eyes, like in Zombies.
  • Both Zombies and Extinction modes do not have subtitles (although the characters talk) however, Dead Rising has.
  • The robot zombies move slower than zombies but are harder to kill.
