Dead Rising 2

One of the most fun zombie games ever gets a sequel. I hope they lessen the time limit.

THE DEAD WALK AGAIN AS CAPCOM CONFIRMS DEAD RISINGTM 2
Sequel to 1.5 million-plus seller announced for multiple gaming platforms
London – 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 and Sony Computer Entertainment’s PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) and the 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 humour, 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.

I'm a huge zombie fan, but overall I was underwhelmed by the game. I thought it needed more structure and narrative than they gave it. The sand-box thing never really felt authentic to me...

That wouldn;t have been so bad if they weren't absolute morons who would just wander into hordes of the undead if you weren't watching they're every move.

Pretty much the reason, also the save system was sub-par.


Prisoners in the gun truck was awesome though! :P

I never played the game, but I'm fairly sure I wanted to when I first saw a commercial for it way back when.

We'll see how I do on this one.

I think mine was the red hot frying pan you would use to burn a zombies face

I was always partial to the hockey stick because it really made no sense... what would a puck really do unless you hit it like a mad man... and where did he keep them all.

Or opening the umbrella and running through them.

Oh mannequin parts!

Holy shit, awesome. I loved the first game but never got around to buying it.
