THE DEAD WALK AGAIN AS CAPCOM® CONFIRMS DEAD RISING 2

 

Sequel to 1.5 million-plus seller announced for multiple gaming platforms

 

SAN MATEO, Calif. – February 9, 2009 - Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today confirmed that Dead Rising™ 2 is in development for three different gaming platforms: the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. The sequel to the 1.5 million-plus selling Dead Rising™, Dead Rising 2 will take the franchise to a new level of zombie-killing fun with tens of thousands of zombies, the all new gambling paradise of Fortune City to explore and conquer plus a host of new in-game objects that can all be used as deadly weapons to stave off the zombie assault.

 

Dead Rising 2 is set several years after the infamous zombie invasion of Willamette. Unfortunately, the zombie virus was not contained at the conclusion of Dead Rising, spreading unchecked throughout the United States and Dead Rising 2 depicts a country where zombie outbreaks continue to strike.

 

Dead Rising 2 is being developed in partnership with up and coming Canadian developer Blue Castle Games. A number of members from the original Dead Rising team will be working alongside Blue Castle Games throughout the development process, including Capcom’s global head of research and development, Keiji Inafune, who as the game’s Producer will play an active role in the project.

 

Released in 2006, Dead Rising won praise across the globe for its mix of intense zombie action and dark humor, garnering numerous awards including IGN’s “Most Innovative Design for Xbox 360”, Gamespot’s “Best Action-Adventure Game” for 2006 and “Action Game of the Year” at the 2006 Spike TV Video Game Awards.

 

Further details concerning the story and gameplay of Dead Rising 2 will be made available shortly.

Here's a screen:

Here are the rest

Hell yes.

The main character doesn't look as loveable as the first one and second of all I hope there's no time limit this time around. The first one was frustrating as...as... something really frustrating.

I own Dead Rising, and have played maybe an hour of it. They need to make it so you can save anywhere, because the hour that I did play I lost because I got killed without a save anywhere close by.

what's the appeal of zombie games anyway? i don't get it.

WHAT!?

i enjoyed bioshock a lot which isn't technically a zombie game i guess...

What about DOOM?

i didn't have a computer in 93

plus i was like 4

Oh, and another thing... they better incorporate some sort of zombie-physics system.

Holy shit I'm old.

yo mama so old

doom zombies aren't the zombies he was complaining about ... i hate zombies too ... oh lets fill the game with slow moving tanks .. that'll be fun ...

fucking zombies in resistance 2 aren't slow moving though nor tanks ... hrmm they're branching out drlol

You do know that you're pissing on my bible right now... right?

I think it's pretty fun actually.

that's no excuse!

plus, i was 3 but still grew up playing doom and other various fun games. though doom's mostly demons so it doesnt matter anyway.

I spent a good 4 years of my life playing Doom and Doom 2. That shit was survival horror back then.

Dead Rising was great. I didn't mind the time limit or the save system, but I seriously hope they improve on the controls. They were fine for plowing through hoards of zombies with a chainsaw, but fighting a chick on a motorcycle with an uzi was ridiculous.

"So give me some SWiss, Miss" . . . .

First one was great fun but really, really annoying (as Squee says). Clunky interface/saving/control system all things that could be ironed out in a second one. . .

BTW is Left 4 Dead any good?

I'm in.

I've only played parts of it but from what I've learned it's definitely a multiplayer experience and not really worth the single player. Also you'll need to hook up with some guys you know to get the full co-op experience out of it. It's an instense game so it's a lot more fun to go nuts together with someone you know rather than with some annoying kid whose balls haven't dropped yet.

I'm planning on buying it

I think Nazi Zombie on COD:WAW is infinitely more fun than left4dead.

The way the game is structured, you're pretty much supposed to restart every time you die with your experience/abilities intact. The campaign is short enough to do in one sitting, and the only way to really make it to the end is to play it about 12 times, restarting and levelling up every time you die. Bizarre design choice, but I liked how unique it was.

its not that i like zombie games, its more that i just absolutely despise zombies. killing them is the best thing ever.

Looking forward to this!
