Its not confirmed its the whole city but the released information says the country is infected and its set in a infected city, hopefully not jus casino hotel but think they will do a DR1 one main big building and a bit of outside

i just returned from a week's vacation down in the gulf coast, and i spent a good bit of my time in a number of casinos ( i even won a couple of hundred bucks), and i've gotta say, the entire time i was thinking of DR2. most casinos i went to had at least two restaurants, gift shops, hotels, and all kinds of places that would work well as a setting for DR2.

Yeah, mock of a Vegas strip, or--even better--a small Indian Reservation-style casino resort would be great!

Yeah, mock of a Vegas strip, or--even better--a small Indian Reservation-style casino resort would be great! Being able to go outside and into houses and stuff would also be awesome - as would being able to clear out and block off certain parts too, so that you could quite possibly block off the entire place and just lord it over your domain, mocking the zombies shambling about outside ... muahahahahaaaaaa.

It will be mostly under sand. Did any of you see Res Evil Extinction? That's the bad news. The good news is that once you get there, you get to pick between Ali Larter and Milla Jovovich.

Ali Larter methinks, Jovovich is getting scrawnier by the year. Just because Resi3 had Vegas as a dustbowl, doesn't mean DR2 would as well. Perhaps a bit, but not like in that movie (which was a rubbish movie too ).

Houston, we have multiplayer: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/967/967246p1.html oh my.

Houston, we have multiplayer: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/967/967246p1.html oh my. Holy shit! On top of the fact that we'll be able to see SIX THOUSAND zombies on-screen at once!!!

Something tells me zombie genociders gonna be harder than 15 minutes in a garage this time around.

We need this to be on PC too. I don't wanna have to buy a lame-ass console just to paste zombies. Modern PCs can run games with much more visual detail and better performance than consoles, it opens the door to modders which pretty much guarantees the titles longevity for years to come, and there's no hassle with platform licensing. There's no reason NOT to do it!! PULEEEEEZE!!!?

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/967/967246p1.html *Update*: Apparently, the information regarding multiplayer was a mistake, according to a statement from Laura Scholl herself. Today, clarifying her comments from GDC, she specifically contacted IGN, stating, "In my 'During the Dead Rising 2' presentation at GDC this past Friday, while I was describing how Blue Castle is using mental mill technology in character development, I mistakenly referred to the game as multiplayer instead of multiplatform. I apologize for the confusion. The game is indeed multiplatform and Blue Castle has done an amazing job creating incredibly photorealistic characters -- from their skin tone to their clothing -- in heavily populated and complex levels throughout the game. Gamers are going to be thrilled with how the game feels, looks and plays." We contacted Capcom, but they had no comment regarding the new statement from Scholl or multiplayer for Dead Rising 2.

Capcom botched Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop on the Wii, what could have possibly stopped them making it like a cross between 128 Marios and Grand Theft Auto? I thought that with the announcement the game was using the RE4 engine it could have been a brilliant combo of Resident Evil 4's set piece action gameplay and DR's time management instead it contains neithers qualities.
