That "
Dead Rising 2" video from last week, that
kinda looked like it could have been
Dead Rising 2? It was
totally Dead Rising 2.
Capcom has officially announced the title not just for Xbox 360, but for PS3 and PC as well! The sequel occurs years after the events of the first game -- with the zombie virus now spread throughout the United States. The action will take place in the "gambling paradise of Fortune City". The main character is apparently no longer Frank West, but some guy in a jacket instead. Of course, Fortune City is filled with new junk with which to smash zombies, including, most importantly, that hamster ball/
Atlasphere thing from the video!
As rumored, the game is being
developed by Canada's Blue Castle Games. According to the press release, "A number of members from the original
Dead Rising team will be working alongside Blue Castle Games throughout the development process," including producer
Keiji Inafune.

YESH YESH!!! Hey wait that is not Frank West?! WTH?
This goes straight to my PC or Ps3.My x360 scratched Dead Rising and The Orange Box pretty bad.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 9th 2009 11:51AM
Why I was downvoted? it really did scratched my Dead Rising disc I'm not lying.

Lord Negatron @ Feb 9th 2009 11:54AM
longhorn pulled a hit and run.
I am sure of it!
*Sends out the bloodhounds*
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 9th 2009 12:04PM
I didn't expect to get upvoted but downvoted?
Now that you mention it someone said you are measure by the size of your enemies if that's the case now I feel very depressed.
Longhorn is the number 1,200 in my list of enemies. 1,199 is that kid that throws my paper out of reach and 1,998 that f*cking fly that won’t let you sleep in the night.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 9th 2009 12:10PM
You know I think he is.I'm getting downvoted for anything wow I tell you I think I really got into that guy head.

Deeznuts420 @ Feb 9th 2009 12:30PM

Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 9th 2009 12:32PM

Anyway yeah I'll go for the PS3 version unless my Pc can run it,I can't wait to see all the sweet Pc mods.Like Hotel Soap or Hot Dog in a Book.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 9th 2009 12:40PM
I think is compensation for the "everyone gets 3 hearts" day.
Duke @ Feb 9th 2009 12:46PM
I bet you are getting downvoted because you keep talking about what games your xbox scratches, which has nothing to do with the game itself. I see a couple posts with you bringing it up.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 9th 2009 12:47PM
Oh what the hell I might as well abuse this:
Virtual Boy was underappreciated, Nester funky bowling>Littlebigplanet.
Communism works but it needs some love man.
Cooking cats in a microwave is fun.
Surfing Nazis is the best movie ever.
Downvote this.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 9th 2009 12:52PM
Oh that's why.
Dead rising was my favorite game if you have ever play it you know that sucks and I was just showing prerence to the other version as well.
Lord Negatron then started with the longhorn joke.I wasn't taking anything seriously.The rest was just good fun.
Now that why were the other comments downvoted as well?
Maverick Saturn @ Feb 9th 2009 1:13PM
¬_¬ People looking at the comments have to get past the wall of white before seeing the first visible comment.
'Hmmm, why is there this massive space between the article and the comments?'
Maverick Saturn @ Feb 9th 2009 1:23PM
People, 4 replies are still very much visible!!
kentuckyfried @ Feb 9th 2009 1:35PM
The truth apparently hurts to some xbots...I had the same thing happen to my Halo 3 disc.
You know what Microsoft said when I asked them to repair the 360 to prevent future occurences?
"That repair is not covered under our warranty, you will need to pay us $100. Plus is you want a replacement Halo 3 disc, that'll be another $20 even though it's not your fault."
deaftly @ Feb 9th 2009 1:37PM
The term "xbot" is sooooo 2006
DangerMouse @ Feb 9th 2009 1:42PM
So how do i get in on this?
Maverick Saturn @ Feb 9th 2009 1:53PM
If you haven't been voted down you're an outcast basically :)
Lord Negatron @ Feb 9th 2009 2:04PM
Down voting is a turn on.
fap fap fap fap fap fap*
All you boys clicking the, oh wait um...

TomCo @ Feb 9th 2009 2:29PM
oh god how did this get here i am not good with computer
Neuromancer @ Feb 9th 2009 3:05PM
What is this I don't even
flanker22 @ Feb 9th 2009 4:03PM
its fine i guess this is redemption for dmc4, RE5 all going multi platform.
Magetto @ Feb 9th 2009 5:04PM
You guys are probably getting down voted for making a big deal about it being made for the PS3, rather than making a big deal about Dead Rising 2, a sequel to a great game that everyone should play, being made.
I for one am excited for this. Bring on the Zombie hordes! So what does everyone think our new guy will be? A race car driver (based on his jacket)? "You have nothing to worry about. I can outrun zombies, ya know? "
ice~ @ Feb 9th 2009 6:32PM
HAMSTER BALLS WOOT!
fred @ Feb 9th 2009 6:48PM
Everybody: downvote everyone else in this thread. Downvote me too and yourself.
Dont stop until everyone has one heart or less
BananaBoat @ Feb 9th 2009 6:53PM
You can downvote me all you want, but first I've got to say this:
Not Frank West? What the hell? What are they thinking? I understand the change of scenery, but changing the main character? BOOOOOOOOOO, we liked him you idiots.
PC mod to make him the main character in 3.....2.........1.......
Josh @ Feb 9th 2009 9:31PM
graaaaaaaay

Brucie_K @ Feb 9th 2009 11:36AM
This game is going to be awesome!
Let's just hope they improved the save system and AI.
offday @ Feb 9th 2009 11:58AM
Agreed. And please no Otis.
Marty @ Feb 9th 2009 1:17PM
The save system wasn't all that bad... I mean, it did add some challenge to the game that just wouldn't have been there if you could save where ever you wanted.
Brucie_K @ Feb 9th 2009 1:19PM
Marty, challenge is one thing. Frustrating is another.
robert @ Feb 9th 2009 1:26PM
we can only hope that Otis has died of old age by now and he's not replaced by someone equally as needy for casual phone conversations during the zombie apocalypse
offday @ Feb 9th 2009 1:39PM
Yeah. Saving the game should never be considered a challenge.
Courtney @ Feb 9th 2009 1:51PM
I don't really remember being bugged by either Otis or the save system.
Lord Negatron @ Feb 9th 2009 2:09PM
To hang up on meh while i was speakin' is rude!
jumpshot @ Feb 9th 2009 3:33PM
Zombie AI haha
Brucie_K @ Feb 9th 2009 4:55PM
jumpshot, I was talking about the friendly AI, not the zombies.
If you had actually played the game and not just randomly clicked a news article about a game which you know nothing about, you would have known what I meant.
Questworld @ Feb 10th 2009 3:53AM
Co-op would be nice too.
RyFar206 @ Feb 9th 2009 11:36AM
Awesome! I just hope the time limit system is more forgiving.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 9th 2009 11:54AM
I never had a problem with the time limit except in the mission in whihc you have to deactive the bombs because the arrow pointed to the middle of the park.
Now that they seriously need to add some way to save during infinity mode.
Bakkster @ Feb 9th 2009 12:52PM
There needs to be two modes: Standard story mode with the time limit, and free range mode where there are no story missions, the entire area is available, and you don't have to eat food to keep from dying; just kill zombies.
Bakkster @ Feb 9th 2009 11:36AM
That doesn't look like Frank West. (He's covered wars, you know!)
Neuromancer @ Feb 9th 2009 12:51PM
We know, we know
diamondxp @ Feb 9th 2009 11:37AM
No Frank West, damn too bad I liked his Bad assness. Capcom do not give me a sensitive character.
Neuromancer @ Feb 9th 2009 12:52PM
This new guy probably talks about his feelings and cries
Ignatius @ Feb 9th 2009 1:56PM
While gutting a zombie with a chainsaw.
zuburi @ Feb 9th 2009 6:17PM
Frank West is one of my most favorite characters EVER.
I am bummed that he isn't the lead in this one.
