Actually, that's not all. It also uses the Resident Evil style over the shoulder camera. The lack of jumping is a big letdown, though I suppose it doesn't gel well with the new camera angles. The lack of photography is mindboggling, seeing as Frank is a fucking photographer.

People will whine about it, but no time limits is actually pretty cool. I hated how it was physically impossible to do everything in the original game.

Actually, the changes were made to justify the game's existence. The game is coming out, what, two years after the 360 version? In order to make the game marketable they needed to change it drastically enough that it would be a complete different gameplay experience. The main issue here is whether or not the game will be fun and control well. If it is, fine.

The game is not, however, watered down by any means. All of the missions will remain intact, and there will be new enemies, items, and weapons. The photography stuff, while fun, did nothing but unlock XBox acheivements. And despite early rumors that the game could only support 15 enemies on screen at once, it will support 100 on screen at once.

Not one weapon at a time; one melee (close range) weapon at a time. I guess it's kind of a pain in the ass, but at the same time, there are so many melée weapons readily available that it shouldn't be an issue.

And what's up with not jumping? No jumping means no jump kicks, knee drops, or wall kicks.

The game is running off the RE4 engine and using the over the shoulder camera angle. I believe they felt jumping didn't work well with from this angle. Photography was apparently removed for this reason. The new camera angle drastically changes the gameplay. You won't be able to see guys until they're in a much closer proximity to you, especially guys that come up behind you. Come to think of it, that makes melee weapons more important...

It could qualify as one. We won't really know until reviewers tell us what to think. What people need to realize is that this isn't a port; it's a retelling of the Dead Rising story, not unlike the GCN remake of Resident Evil. Will this game work as well as the REmake? Maybe, maybe not. It'll be interesting though. Also keep in mind that Capcom is the one company that HASN'T let us down with its Wii ports/remakes. RE4 and Okami were both fantastic on the Wii.

There are no story changes; there are gameplay changes.

The lack of jumping is weird, but it will make the game significantly more challenging.
The lack of photography is inconsequential, and due to the new camera angle.
The inability to carry more than one melée weapon, if true, is rather dumb, but realistic. If you were trapped in a mall with a shitload of zombies, would you carry around a million melée weapons? No, you'd carry one at most, and a shitload of firearms.
