Excuse us if we dedicate this entire post to one, single screenshot. A picture -- of gigantic metal death spikes protruding from Chuck's helmet in Dead Rising 2 -- is worth a thousand words, after all. Also, that bodysuit is pretty snazzy. Go on, take it all in ...See what we mean? Totally worth a post.

Seriously awesome! Can't wait to play it!

That blood looks like some Resident Evil 1 shiz. Looking forward to this though, never got a chance to play the original since i don't have a 360.

Resident Evil 1? You need to get your eyes checked.
Space @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:42PM
hope this isn't Chris' blood
xtremeholymuffin @ Sep 23rd 2009 7:26PM
It IS aesthetically similar, guys
PR0F3TA (PSN - PROPHETA) @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:24PM
ah a zombie game, people will love it, regardless
Moris @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:53PM
"ah one of the best zombie game series evar! People will love it."
Fixed that for ya ;)
PR0F3TA (PSN - PROPHETA) @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:25PM
just down-vote it and move on. Don't feed it.
Heavytoka @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:26PM
Looks freakin sweet!
Traceur_Ryuk [Foot Soldier of the Pachter Defense Force] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:30PM
I can't wait for this, honestly, I never got the first one though I did play the demo. I played that demo for literally about 2 hours.

You should buy it. It's only $20 bucks now to is probably the best game I've played this generation. Certainly the best game on the 360.
davebo @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:30PM
This game is going to have local co-op, right? RIGHT?!
BIGGEN (LIVE-PSN: BIGGEN1103) @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:35PM
"nor its remake"
you lost any credibility right there
BIGGEN (LIVE-PSN: BIGGEN1103) @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:37PM
drop this down one slot, damn it
sonofman @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:34PM
So... Zombies and football and a dumb looking suit and unrealistic helmet?
No thanks...
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:42PM
Please tell me you're not seriously thinking this is a football game with zombies.
kentuckyfried @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:05PM
Not a fan of the Dawn of the Dead film, nor its remake, I see...sadness.
Jampirow @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:01PM
Yeah, because zombies are TOTALLY realistic.
ducttapeBigSexy @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:27PM
If Madden 2011 had zombies, I'd totally buy it.
If Dead Rising 2 had John Madden doing voice overs, I'd... well, maybe I'd buy it.
BananaBoat @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:52PM
What are you guys talking about? Every Madden game features at least one zombie.
(I'm sorry John Madden, I still love you)
ytilanigiroon @ Sep 23rd 2009 5:44PM
"Yeah, because zombies are TOTALLY realistic." -Jampirow
I'm going to assume you were not being sarcastic, seeing as how a zombie apocalypse is how the world is gonna end and all...
DBuck_Eye @ Sep 23rd 2009 6:39PM
Madden: Let's watch the replay. So Frank needs to kill zombies to get rid of the zombies. Okay, so here's the point where Frank picks up the lawn mower. And he's gonna turn around and BOOM he nails two zombies right there and BOOM three more. Now THAT'S how you deal with the apocalypse.

Chuck Taylor to the 40 — to the 30 — to the 20....
spoo @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:34PM
It looks bloody great especially football jersey zombies.
Jawmuncher (PSN & XBL:Jawmuncher) @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:35PM
AMAZING!!!!!!
Can't wait to play it.
Doreo (Psn-doreo503) @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:35PM
Does anyone else think it's weird that it's coming out for both the 360 and ps3, but us ps3 owners never got the first one? The game probably has a separate story, but I would have liked to experience the first one! I really hope they come out with a demo in the future, so I can have some experience with how it plays.
Traceur_Ryuk [Foot Soldier of the Pachter Defense Force] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:41PM
If it's a seperate story then it's no different than MGS rising or FF XIII
kentuckyfried @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:06PM
Yeah, I've picked up alot old 360 exclusives, might be a good time to finish them all up. Just finished COD2 last week. Still need to do Condemned and Dead Rising.
Doreo (Psn-doreo503) @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:08PM
True, I just wonder how it plays. I don't want to have to borrow a friend's 360 just to find out if I'll buy the sequel or not.
Hakaisou @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:40PM
Let me catch you up. Meet Frank West. He's a photographer. He's covered wars, ya know? Anyway zombies attack a random ass mall and you need pictures. Also people eat too much.

joeybeast @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:40PM
Let me know when they have a good control scheme.
Danthok @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:46PM
I concur you are a gentleman and a scholar.
Old Professor Zertoss @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:41PM
My brain only registered 'Dead' and '2', so I thought this was about L4D2. Gotta say that I'm a little sad that this isn't a L4D2 post. Someone needs to mod that shit into both L4D games.
However, I am elated to see more Dead Rising 2, even if it's only a single screen shot.
[ArchiGamer] [Painstakingly Written Before A Live Audience] @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:43PM
So far from what I seem in the past articles that you have comment on, you really want Michael Jackson in your pants.
Right, "sexy"?
Dirty @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:45PM
Looks more like hockey jersey ( and by jersey I mean sweater) zombies to me. That helmet looks like a goaltenders mask, with moose antlers.
ytilanigiroon @ Sep 23rd 2009 5:51PM
Ooooor, it's a motorcycle race suit...
This is probably just showing off what you can do with that whole "Alone In The Dark" weapon combination system. Though, moose antlers+lacrosse helmet+racing leathers isn't a combination I'd think of off the bat... that idea's far too awesome!
Dirty @ Sep 23rd 2009 5:54PM
The zombie is wearing the sweater.
Dropeti @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:45PM
Sorry about my noobiness but I dont get this guy post...
And everyone got pissed at him because of what?
I just didn't got it :(
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:47PM
Droptei, look at his comment history.
BunnySlapper @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:48PM
What plot could ever justify such a scenario as this?
arrrgh @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:28PM
i'm going to go out on a limb here but...
zombie apocalypse?
Hakaisou @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:33PM
The best kinds
BunnySlapper @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:35PM
A zombie apocalypse justifies donning a leather motorcycle outfit, a football helmet with metal antlers, and running through hordes of infected zombies? How?
At what point do the last - lets say 2 - survivors look at each other and say:
Survivor 1: "Hey man, we may be the last 2 people on earth..."
Survivor 2: "I know...you know what we should do...put on crazy outfits and run through groups of flesh-eating monsters"
Survivor 1: "AMAGAD I WAS JUST THINKING THAT!"
davebo @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:45PM
You're right, this zombie game is so unrealistic. I hope when we have a real-life zombie apocalypse that you're there to guide us all through with the proper strategy. Killjoy.
BunnySlapper @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:51PM
There's unrealistic and then there's retarded. At least he's already got the football helmet.
Dead Rising 2: Special Ed Edition.
BleachMan! @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:49PM
That screenshot looks juicy.
I mean in the most uncannibalistic way possible
sweeney73 @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:52PM
Looks like the zombie in the back is looking at the zombie getting mauled and saying "hellz yeah!"
Shagittarius @ Sep 23rd 2009 2:52PM
I hated the first one, If the second one is less crap I could give it a try.
