Dead Rising 2 announced for Xbox 360 and PS3

aye i agree, total raccoon city vibe going on there.

Such a cool and evocative trailer for what, unfortunately, might just be a repetitive, runaround gore-fest.

[MikePizzoff]

I watched the trailer on mute and had "Alone In The Dark" by Testament playing... what a perfect match up it was.

Another trailer is on XBL.

like most games that i get excited about, seems like dead rising 2 may be delayed a bit... http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/105/1057063p1.html this isn't necessarily about developmental issues (since dr2 looks and plays pretty much like dr1), more likely it's just capcom wanting to time their releases so they don't get beat in sales by the competition. it would be understandable if they were using the extra time to beef-up the mp modes or adding co-op, however...

I'd be pissed if there wasn't so much to play in Q1 2010, but I'll probably have more than enough gaming goodness to hold me over until DR2 releases.

[CooperWasRight]

Being that DR2 was the last title announced out of the group it would be a safe bet that will be the title that does NOT see a 2010 calendar release...

Why these dozy fuckers all just realise that they should all just release games throughout the year, rather than just cramming them all together at certain times of year is beyond me. It's really annoying. I mean hell, there was a right old log-jam in November for me with games just flooding in, and there's still old ones that have been out for ages that I've never even played yet (e.g. Left 4 Dead, and FarCry 2). Then you add new ones to the "must play" list and you're never on top of it all - Batman Arkham Asylum, The Saboteur, Assassin's Creed 2 ... come on dudes, spread the love out throughout the frickin' year already.

Microsoft is having it's X10 event in San Fransisco today, lots of new info coming out: At X10 Capcom also confirmed that Dead Rising 2 will be released in Europe on September 3 rd, (August 31 st in North America), but ahead of this Xbox 360 owners will get an exclusive taste of the action to come with the release of Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO, a prologue that will provide a link between the original Dead Rising and the events that await in Dead Rising 2. Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO will be stand alone and entirely consist of unique content that will not be in Dead Rising 2.

I'm sick and tired of being screwed for not having XBL.

For the price of a single game, think of all the juicy goodness you could be downloading on Live.

For the price of a single game, think of all the juicy goodness you could be downloading on Live. PLUS the price of an XBL subscription, and getting an Xbox hard drive (which are ludicrously pricey considering how cheap normal HDDs cost) ... then factoring in our broadband connection that's all over the place in terms of speed, never bettering 1.6mbps.

[darth los]

The hell with all that. I just can't wait to get my hands on that live action movie! NOT !
