Viral video possibly teasing Dead Rising 2
A video is making the rounds on the internet supposedly confirming the existence of Dead Rising 2. The video makes reference to the events of the first game, also noting that a drug has been created to halt the spread of the zombie disease. We're guessing said drug wasn't too effective, as the video then moves on to showcase a casino / hotel environment filled with zombies. The video also mentions a discovery of some sort by Isabella Keyes, a lead character from the first game. Finally, was that a giant hamster ball?
Is this the first official confirmation of Dead Rising 2? We've contacted both the YouTube user who uploaded the video and Capcom for comment. In the meantime, let's not forget that Keiji Inafune himself stated the game was in the works during a (supposedly mistranslated) interview with Famitsu just last week. Watch the video after the break.

I think Dead Rising is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills zombies and doesn't afraid of anything.
OMGOMG @ Feb 6th 2009 5:04PM
I am so confused right now.

J-Link @ Feb 6th 2009 5:18PM
LOL, I dont if that was meant to be funny or not but it was.
Hyams @ Feb 6th 2009 5:34PM
It's a meme.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 6th 2009 5:36PM
Eh I think Halo meme is pretty cool guy eh he is overused and doesn't afraid of anything.
Archon @ Feb 6th 2009 5:44PM
Whoever downvoted this poor fellow should go and educate themselves on the peculiar thing called the internet right now.
Neuromancer @ Feb 6th 2009 6:09PM
I guess what we're learning here today is there is a time and a place for everything.
halo 3 sucks. @ Feb 6th 2009 6:11PM
Not to be the bearer of bad zombies (no pun intended), take a look at the tags for the video.
Right there. You see it?
It says: "FAKE"
*kills childhood dreams*

So, you'll probably say, "where've you been, Levi??" But I don't know this meme you guys are referencing... can I get a link?

I just want to be able to read the dialog this time around.
Richard Mitchell @ Feb 6th 2009 4:59PM
BURN!

No you dont, Otis was annoying.
Alex @ Feb 6th 2009 6:17PM
With a bit of luck, they will use actual voices...
And yeah, Otis was annoying... Even with his secret light-aircraft pilot licence. Someone knows about that, right? Just after Jessie kills the special forces guys in the Security Room.
mcwattersm @ Feb 6th 2009 6:32PM
Worst memory of a great game.
Tehman @ Feb 6th 2009 4:52PM
Hopefully.... I don't want to get my hopes up, because I seriously can't wait for a sequel to that game.
BananaBoat @ Feb 6th 2009 4:52PM
Dead Rising 2 is at the top of my most wanted sequel list. I hope this video is real, but I'm not so sure right now.
Averna @ Feb 6th 2009 5:37PM
Seems genuine.... but you gotta think, why would they have an intro sequence this early into development.
The Dark Wayne @ Feb 6th 2009 5:40PM
maybe the like to start developing at the start?
halo 3 sucks. @ Feb 6th 2009 5:51PM
I love clearly pasted-on 2-D zombies as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous.
DarkNessBear @ Feb 6th 2009 9:12PM
How is this video not OBVIOUSLY Dead Rising 2(?) set in Las Vegas (type of area). It's clearly obvious...
Neuromancer @ Feb 6th 2009 4:59PM
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
ITS REAL
Neuromancer @ Feb 6th 2009 5:01PM
...Or the most magnificent hoax ever perpetrated by man
Blank-Mage @ Feb 7th 2009 10:36PM
There may be some religious debate on that. Also, David Blane.
Mr Khan @ Feb 6th 2009 5:01PM
We've known about it being in the works for some time, i thought.
vg24/7 is claiming that it's real, and i might err in their favor in this case.
borntokill @ Feb 6th 2009 5:03PM
not sure if its real, but the american gladiators cage ball is brilliant.
alpha-rezbit @ Feb 6th 2009 5:10PM
american galdiators plus zombies huh....you know,that would be hella awsome
BananaBoat @ Feb 6th 2009 5:14PM
If Turbo or Nitro turned into a zombie, we would all be f*cked
Fanboy #23 @ Feb 6th 2009 5:15PM
Is the cameraman jacking off to that video or something?
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 6th 2009 5:37PM
Wouldn't you?

Hmmm.... Hell yeah!

Frank, you will go on my first whistle...
NBShermanator @ Feb 6th 2009 5:19PM
Lol, Casino!?! Vegas? That is undeniably sick. I can see the zombie showgirls and strippers, lol. The characters they can make in that place: Siegfried and Roy go bat-insane and release their tigers on you? lol, if this is real I am a raving fan foaming at the mouth
J-Link @ Feb 6th 2009 5:19PM
Looks real to me and this is good as it shows Dead Rising Wii ain't the only future Dead Rising we got to look forward to.
ricky @ Feb 6th 2009 5:37PM
holy crap a giant hamster ball
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 6th 2009 5:46PM
Is the American Gladiators cage and it seems this takes place in Vegas.
A gladitor Psycho would kick ass.

ATLASPHERE!!!
Blank-Mage @ Feb 7th 2009 10:42PM
High five.
RedSonRising @ Feb 6th 2009 5:30PM
im definitely not playing dead rising 2.. got all the way to the end of the first game and saved at the wrong place. needed to complete one more mission before time ran out and theres never time to complete it.
id have to play all the way through it agian to finish the game and im not doing that. same way mass effect screwed me out of the asari companion achievement 3 times cause i did 1 mission too many on the citadel before picking her up.
dead space was ok but not good enough for me to play twice..
RedSonRising @ Feb 6th 2009 5:31PM
ugh.. dead rising, i just beat dead space 2 minutes ago so im kinda stuck on that at the moment.
(speaking of, dead space is ok at best. not a goty contender imo.. nothing really creative about it)
zuburi @ Feb 6th 2009 9:45PM
I am a reasonable man. A rational, reasonable man.
But if you say word one about Dead Rising not being good, I will BRING THE MOTHERFUCKING RUCKUS!!!
Blank-Mage @ Feb 7th 2009 10:40PM
Also did you just reply to yourself to agree with yourself with exactly the same content? That was rhetorical. Do not reply again. For the children.
Jack @ Feb 6th 2009 5:34PM
Pause the video @ 58 seconds. There is a 2 in the middle-top of the screen for a hair of a second. Aside from that it looks pretty convincing to be real.
samfish @ Feb 6th 2009 5:33PM
The only two things that make me think it might be fake is the horrible voice over quality of the male newcaster and the fact that the YouTube tags say "Fake", "Wii" and "PSP".
...although I'd love a properly done Dead Rising for the Wii :(
