Dead Rising 2

TGS 09: Dead Rising 2 Media Explosion & MP Details [4 Vids & 11 Screens]
Written Friday, September 25, 2009 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

Today is shaping up to be a fine day for media assets from this year's Tokyo Games Show, and next up on to the pedestal is Capcom's Dead Rising 2.

Other than the 3 gameplay weapon videos below and 11 new screens for the title, Capcom also released some details on the game's multiplayer mode.

The multiplayer - which can be seen in the video below - for Dead Rising 2 revolves around something called "Terror is Reality," where a group of up to 4 players will enter an arena to compete against one another in a series of zombie killing challenges to see who is the "ultimate zombie slayer."

You can't help but enjoy this lot... especially the videos. Happy Friday folks!

The First game was one of my personal favorites and from what I have seen up to now it looks like it isnt going to disappoint.

@15, that's what I was going to say! The MP looks crazy, over the top, but is brilliantly mocking real life television, which is hilarious.

The weapons seem to work the same way as the first one. But I wish that fork-shotgun would actually injure/poke the zombies as you run through them. Idk much about game development, but is it the physics that need to be fixed? Basically I don't like how you can "push" a sharp, deadly weapon up against them and it doesn't do anything.

Does there have to be a multiplayer for every game? (Hey, someone had to say it, lol) Either way, so long as they keep the game as solid as the last I can't complain if they throw multiplayer in there. I haven't seen the video yet, so I couldn't tell you my thoughts on it, but I'm definitely excited for the sequel.

This game looks like it'll have more creativity this time around. The fork shotgun? Hell yes. And I love the fact that we'll all be able to go Skorge on zombie ass.

I like the take on the multiplayer (as more people have already stated). I can't shake the feeling that the actual multiplayer gameplay will fall short.
I was hoping for some kind of coop campaign.

Good news, definitely will be getting this day 1. Multiplayer looks fun, I wish we would get some details on the story to. I wonder if Capcom kept the time constraint system and the survivors, imo if you take these away its basically like every other zombie game.

i like the way the multiplayer is looking. it seems like it wont be boring. the main game looks fun and the multiplayer has is its own little "game". but still i agree with #36....they are adding multiplayer in toooooooooooo many games...

Here I thought the mutliplayer was going to be a burden. . . but by the looks at it its got this corny flare that makes it its own game lol

singleplayer looks good as the first game. but why do always developers have to ruin every good singleplayer game with some crappy multiplayer. i still have my fingers crossed for some co-op multiplayer in story mode.

Dead rising was one of my favourite games ever, and this looks like this isnt gonna dissapoint! Multiplayer looks interesting, but i think everyone wants a co-op mode? A must-buy for me.

Multiplayer is a massive, awesome, AWESOME surprise. That looks awesome. Awesome I tell thee!

And why has no one mentioned the Marlin in the second to last screenshot? A frickin' marlin! Genius.

I was fairly luke warm on this one, but damn this looks a lot of fun. Marlins, double chainsaw staffs and fork shotguns?

Sold.

Not the kind of multiplayer i was hoping for but at least it's not yet another VS mode.

Note to developers : NOT EVERY GAME HAS TO INCLUDE MULTIPLAYER!! if you make the game GOOD ENOUGH people will play it!

The fork shotgun looks crazy. It incorporates everyone's love of impaling zombies and blowing them to pieces all into one action. Genius!
