Ninjas, sports fans, psychopaths, and soldiers of fortune are coming to Dead Rising 2. Not as zombies, but as alternate costumes for hero Chuck to don. Better yet, they'll be available to the general public and not just to those who pre-ordered the game.

 

The four theme packs -- Ninja, Psychopath, Soldier of Fortune, and Sports Fan -- not only change Chuck's looks, they also have their own respective bonuses. Capcom haven't announced pricing details yet but they have laid out a release schedule:

Psychopath Theme Pack: Available from October 12 (XBLA) and October 13 (PSN)

 

Psycho Chuck will be a zombie’s worst nightmare as his new “insane” look will make him more difficult to kill and give him a host of gruesome weapons including chainsaws, cleavers, axes and more. Zombies won’t stand a chance!

 

dr2-03-soldier

 

Soldier of Fortune Theme Pack: Available from October 19 (XBLA) and October 20 (PSN)

 

With the soldier costume, you can “Rambo out” with double ammo, increased shooting accuracy, more firepower and headshot accuracy increased. Chuck will also have a new special attack when using automatic weapons, spraying zombies with a hail of bullets.

 

dr2-04-sportsfan

 

Sports Theme Pack: Available from October 26 (XBLA) and October 27 (PSN)

 

For all you sports fans out there, this pack’s for you. Chuck’s damage will increase with sports-themed weapons. The new sports weapons (golf balls, basketballs, etc.) bounce more before stopping, allowing you to hit more zombies. Chuck also has a new charge/tackle attack for taking zombies down in the ultimate blitz! With the Sports Theme Pack, Chuck will also earn more from gambling, gain more health while eating and drinking (especially alcoholic drinks) and not get sick from drinking too much…

 

dr2-01-psycho

 

Ninja Theme Pack: Available from November 2 (XBLA) and November 3 (PSN)

 

Ninja Chuck will have a new “stealth mode” where the zombies have to be much closer to him to detect his presence. This gives Chuck the upper hand as he is harder to grab and be taken down by hoards of the undead. Chuck’s damage is increased with sword-type weapons (broadswords, katanas, etc.) that have new special attacks. Stackable items and throwing items (nails, plates, gems, etc.) will also do more damage and Chuck’s throwing speed is increased.

why are more and more games releasing DLC only a few weeks after the game is released, it seems like they hold off stuff that could be in the game and make it DLC so they can charge more (say its £40 for the game they can have DLC for about £12). strangely I think its the publishers that push this, not the devs.

I'm sick of devs locking out content from the full game just to sell them again after the consumer has paid the full price. This generation has been ruined with (most) of the dev's ideas of DLC.

I paid $5 to get that ninja costume, and now their giving it on PSN for $2. Whats the point of preordering in the first place? Just to get screwed over?

I'm guessing you used that $5 to preorder the game.... Do you even have a clue as to where that $5 went? It went towards the game. You're not paying $5 more than anybody else. You got DLC for free just for paying part of it in advance?
