Dead Rising 2 screens show off new weapon creation system

by Xav de Matos on Jan 26th 2010 8:00PM

It isn't like us to dedicate an entire post to a single screenshot, but when it comes to Dead Rising 2 we've already set a precedent. Earlier today, Capcom's Unity blog posted a handful of new images from the zombie-killing simulator, but the screen that really captured our attention was the one shown (gloriously) above.

Combining vastly different items to create our own completely insane arsenal against the zombie collective? Imagine the possibilities: Like some kind of cutting thing, attached to something that spins or something! Clearly our intense excitement has damaged the part of our brain that controls our creativity, but you get the point. Things are going to get killed, real good. More screens are available on the Capcom Unity blog.

Nice - and there's me being satisfied even if I had to do the whole game with just a lawnmower

Kinda reminds me of something you'd find in TF2.

That's a good thing.

Im excited for this. Creating better weapons to kill zombies? Count me in.

There needs to be a 360 powerbrick weapon.

Ha! i like it, brick chucks?

Sweet, I'm going to make something pointless and absurd.

PaddleShotgun here I come!

A paddle shotgun? How would you pull the trigger?

It's called string.

Questioning the use of a paddle shotgun?

Don't get too excited. It looks like you can only craft items you learn about from cards. How many different combinations there are and how you get the cards seems to be up in the air yet.

Wait, why a paddle shotgun?
All you're doing is increasing it's range a bit

"Sweet, I'm going to make something pointless and absurd."

PaddleShotgun = pointless and absurd.

Ah I see........my bad then

Is it possible to combine a chainsaw with a rocket launcher? I need to know this!!

A rocket launcher than fires chainsaws...

Or a chainsaw with rockets instead of blades....

Or a rocket chainsaw that fires chainsaw rockets!!

BOTH!

IN THAT ORDER!

Dogs with bees in their mouths so when they bark they shoot bees at you

BONUS PEE PEE!

Excavator-Skate Board. I want.

I'm going to assume the dirt bike+chainsaws would be another combo.

Hell, just make a whole YouTube channel to promote this game about what things you can attach chainsaws to.

Dead Rising is by far my favorite xbox 360 exclusive. That's right not even halo 3, gears of war, mass effect or any other xbox 360 exclusive is as fun as dead rising.

He loves it so much he said it twice!

Swordchucks are possible at last.

yeahh... but in the commercial for the first one the guy had a cart with weapons sticking out too. and you where supposedly able to pick up anything. wich you arent. i would wait untill the game is released

Oh, wow. This is just WIN.

Hand grenade fishing pole anyone?

Capcom, i hope you just read that!

This sounds like a great idea. I cannot wait to get a new one. It has been way too long since the first one came out. I just hope that they create a better save system. That was the most frustrating part.

Oh yes! Let's hope for lots of combinations! (love the chainsaw-rocket rocket launcher chainsaw idea)

The waiting is the hardest part...

Every day you get one more yard.
You take it on faith,
you take it to the heart.
The waiiiiting...

Wait, now you've got me thinking about Tom Petty DLC songs for Rock Band when what I should be thinking about is a moose-antler helmet with rocket-paddle-chainsaws duct-taped to each edge of each antler.

yes i can finally make a gunblade. and if i cant then ill just have to make a gunsaw
