Dead Rising - Image 1Good news for gamers, bad news for zombies. Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu in an issue mentioned something about Dead Rising 2. Because of the success of the first iteration of the game, Dead Rising, rumor has been circulating that there might possibly be a sequel currently under development for the Xbox 360. We've also caught word that creator Keiji Inafune said Dead Rising 2 "is in talks". So, don't get your hopes up just yet.

Details (meaning confirmations and denials) are still scarce, but more information could come via Capcom's Gamers' Day event on Thursday. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled back for more info, so keep checking back here for updates. As for the zombies out there, well, we don't suggest going back to the mall just yet.


Update: Our source for this bit of information changed its entry from "Dead Rising confirme" to "Dead Rising 2 confirme [Rumeur]" so we opted to update our article, too to reflect the changes made.

Awesome, Dead Rising for the first game was really good (the sound effects for the weapons was perfect), really hope they move out the mall into the city. Raiding houses and apartments for weapons.

Lets hope capcom lives up to their word of letting as many people as they can play their games.



I dont wanna give microshaft money, so i hope it comes to PS3; ;.

..what "saving issues"?



Like 60% of the console games that have ever existed, it has save points. Just why is this so hard for so many people to grasp?



I swear, it's these "..but I have to save anywhere!" types..

The zombies where never meant to be smart

» Keep it 360 only, we dont want PS3 framerate drops they get in this type of game

Lets hope thay keep this game 360 exclusive, with the PS3 and its present potential reported whining/heating issues it could end up being delayed if they have to cross platform it..

I'm hoping it will hit both 360 and PS3. I guess I'm just not so tied to one Console. i think it's be great for PS3 owners to see what Dead Rising is all about.



I'm hoping for the gameplay to be more free roaming in this one. Have like a small city, where you can go into houses and take weapons anywhere in the city. Hit up the local sports store. Things like that. Take a lawnmower sitting in a yard for a spin. I'm also hoping there is a type of autosave feature. Or more save points than before. I dunno why, but the way the save points were in the game always bugged me...



Right now All I'm concerned about is fixing my 360's damn ring of death. God I hate that thing lol. And yeah, the towel trick DOES actually work for a little while. Amazing eh?

» dead rising 2 for ps3

I too have hopes for Dead Rising 2 to go multiplatform as Capcom's new policy implies and also it kind of peaked my interest with the initial release which I have yet to play but continue to hear is quite good, and would make a great addition to Playstation 3!

by f - 2007-04-11 14:19
» Idiot

Haha "true HD" what a joke. And if it's cross-platform there will be nothing added for Blu-Ray (aside from the game being duplicated three times to overcome the sh*t load times of the PS3)

They seriosuly need to bring out another dead rising game, the itself was quality, and it would b simple to continue the story on, i cant wait

TO THE PS3

» totally

no offence to my baby, but it would run so much sweeter and look nicer on the ps3

by ??? - 2007-04-12 17:23

hi...

I think that it would be sweet to continue. Like in the true ending it said somthing about outbreaks all accross Amarica, from the 50 kid bombs? Well mabey you play a survivor just as the outbreak hits your town and a fence is built around it and you have to find a way out!!! And bring back survivor mode and make a freeplay mode as well, that would be sweet!!!(Freepl ay no missions time or anything!0 And I would like to see some Monsterouse mutated humans and animals like fish and stuff!!!Sorry I do so like to drone!

» The AI

I presume he's talking about the AI of the people you are supposed to lead through the mall, but who spend most of their time running into walls.

» im begging

PLLLLLEEEEEEEAA AAAAASSSSSSSSSS EEEEEEEEE make a deadrising 2!!! the first one was the best game for xbox360

by Steven - 2007-04-17 09:04
» PS3 GOTTA GET IT

ps3 gotta get it, cuz if they really wanna make money they should make it multi-platformed like devil may cry 4.



If it does'nt microsoft is definetly rubbing someones hairy "you know what" at the capcom office.

» Comon!

Dude give us a chance the people of PS# want to play it to you dr hog!

by christian - 2007-04-30 11:34
» blah

it would be incredibly difficult to pull off. the ending talks about the future and people forgetting the incident, so it would have to be way far in the future. alien zombies!
