Dead Rising 2's hero thrills, eviscerates in new trailer
73
Nothing says love like a chainsaw on a stick. Unless it's two chainsaws on a stick, which is just one of several implements Dead Rising 2 protagonist (and loving father!) Chuck Greene uses to cut a swath through Fortune City's pesky zombie infestation. A new video showing off Greene's hatred of the walking dead has made its way onto the sprawling internet -- we're certainly not above sharing the love after the break.

Looks alright, just a shade darker than the previous in colors used. Hopefully, the fighting system will be improved. The 2 button combo system wasn't really complimenting the gameplay any.

I remember hiding in the toilets for six hours in the original, and then turning off my xbox.
Great days... (wipes tear from corner off eye...sniff)

I hope I didn't get downvoted by people that actually thought the Wii Dead Rising was remotely decent.
Actually, I just hope there aren't people out there that actually think the Wii Dead Rising was remotely decent period.

Other than fewer zombies and no camera wasn't it basically the same thing?

Actually, I think people may have thought you were talking about the original Dead Rising.

The only thing better then two chainsaws on a pole would be...
Chainsaw nunchucks.

Never thought I'd see they day they'd fuse Ash with Darth Maul.
And I never thought I'd be so mesmerized by it.

Take it you either didn't play Gears of War 2 or never got to the battle with Skorge?

I was kinda looking forward to this game, but now the game just looks mindless killing. Granted the first dead rising vids looked mindless but when you played it there was actually a storyline. Hope this one does too.

Yeah, except the storyline you remember so fondly was a ridiculously muddy mishmash of stereotypes, rose-tinted ideologies and sci-fi flim-flam (a plague of zombie bees set loose because Americans are eating too much meat? Really?!) It's a Capcom zombie game, dwelling on the "story" is useless. Think Resident Evil...just sit back, struggle with the control issues, and kill kill kill!

baby sea tuna,
As much as I tried to like the original game, I'm inclined to agree with you; the plot was complete, nonsensical garbage of a caliber that only an Uwe Boll film could rival. I still haven't beaten the game yet; Otis's constant calling and the pitifully stupid AI of the people you have to rescue basically ruined the game for me. I mean, just how hard is it to follow Frank closely as he cuts a wide, clear swath through the undead? It's not something you need a degree in quantum f*cking physics to figure out.

I liked the story in the first one; unlike Resident Evil, it didn't take itself too seriously.

I hope the co-op is actually on the disc and not a $5 download 3 weeks after it comes out.

Ok...the dual chainsaws on the bike sold me on the game. I don't care how crappy or great it might turn out, it's dual chainsaws on a fucking bike.
