Dead Rising 2 To Now Release 28 Days Later

68
Dan Webb

Despite announcing Dead Rising 2's August/September release date at this year's X10, word comes from the publisher this afternoon that Dead Rising 2 will now in fact release 28 days later - seriously.

Originally slated for a August 31st/September 3rd release in North America/Europe respectively, Dead Rising 2 will now ship out on September 28th/October 1st.

Whether Capcom's release date slip for the zombie-slasher is intentionally 28 days later or not, I'd like to thank them for setting up my release date zombie-inspired headline.

In the meantime, make sure you've checked out our Dead Rising 2 hands on from this year's E3.

  • @#1 - Ha ha, well there is that =P
  • damn it @1 i wanted to say that!! Dx
  • Aww Capcom you jokers you.. Shucks!
  • and alteast we werent Left 4 Dead.
  • Hey, don't forget it could of been 28 months later as well.
  • or 28 years later
  • or a crap film.
  • or how about 28 decades later while were at it.
  • 28 lightyears later
  • @9 I do believe thats how long people will be waiting for episode 3! :(
  • Hmm well I hope the sales aren't effected by halo reach, medal of honor or black ops all around the same time since the august release window was pretty clear of competition
  • 28 beards later
  • lol @13
  • No.
  • #10, im sure where safe unless zombies have warp drive...
  • @8 and @13. I'm conflicted as to which of your comments made me giggle the most.
  • lol @ 1 I wanted to say that!
  • @10 "Darn! Lightyears isn't time! It measures distance!"
  • @19 Damn i was going to say that. Lightyear is 9.45x10^15 metres. 9450000000000000m!
  • ah I hate delays!! BUT I think Mafia II comes out the week before so this works out for me :D
  • lol this is the best list of comments I have seen in a while.
  • Most I've smiled all day reading these comments!
  • i lol'd at a lot of those comments haha
  • @23 Haha me too, it almost made me forget what the article was about
  • @11 You mean Duke Nukem Forever.
  • Not impressed about the game being 28 Days Later, but I love the movie. :D
  • whatever it takes to make the game the best it can be
  • the movies are AWESOME :)
  • @10 a lightyear is still a year...
  • What, nobody wants to argue about how "28 Days/Months Later" aren't technically "zombie" movies, since those people are just infected and still alive, just like Left 4 Dead...? Anyone? Anyone?
  • puns FTW thats all i have to say
  • @31 So are the zombies in dead rising. Seems like most zombies nowadays are infected, not undead.
  • 28 infinity decades later
  • omg, these comments are so funny!! oh wait a minute... they're not...
  • lol u guys are funny
  • ANOTHER GENERIC COMPLIMENT ON THE COMMENTS.
  • WAIT! i don't get the zombie reference, seriously, you guys at X360A.org do realise that 28 Days Later is NOT a zombie film right? anyone that thinks its a zombie film clearly didn't understand the film.
  • wow lol almost every comment has nothing to with the game, now i just wish i had come up with any of those
  • WTF, hav capcom got a finger in their ass or somate, another fuckin delay
  • @ #16 You must have not read Marvel Zombies.
  • The 28 Weeks Later joke was played out before #1 even posted it. The fact that so many people posted "I wanted to post that" dictates unoriginality at it's best. *smileys* Anything's better than it being pushed to next year. I need my zombie genocidal fix ASAP.
  • @8 have you not seen the trailer for the Zombrex Dead Rising Sun promotional movie yet? It's got the "Crap film" angle covered nicely
  • 28 days later was not a zombie film. it falls into the crazies and pontypoole genre of i don't know. zombies are reanimated corpses or voodoo controlled people. i hope they changed everything about the sequel because the first 1 was either you like it or you don't.
  • Zombies like everything else get modernized. Basterdized versions they are, but they're still Zombies.
  • 28 Days Later was a great film, scary as, the second one was not... Still really can't wait for this game I suppose that arcade game Case Zero can keep me entertained until the full game.
  • I only found the fact that Zombies can now run at you the only scary part about 28 Days. Film just didn't sit right with me in total. It's a helluva jump to dealing with lumbering moaners to vicious sprinting savages though
  • Okay first I raged so hard I lost my voice and second I why would they change it to later cause now they are going to have to compete with reach and black ops... RAGE!
  • *slow clap* Bravo on the headline! That's deadly brilliant.
  • hopefully they dont put the game in quarantine
  • @19 - Isn't that the trainer before Brock in Pokemon Red & Blue? Epic mate. I think Capcom must have intended a small pun type event round this. I hope they did.
  • @51 I was hoping someone else caught that.
  • 28 leap years later
  • Wonder if the developers did that on purpose, say they need 20 more days to put on the final touch but said, fuck let make 28, or if it's just a scary coincident(no idea if I spelled that right) Anyhow, 28 days later is a great movie you should see if you haven't already:D
  • well 28 days is 4 weeks. glad people like 54 have math skills and understand this.
  • Banter aside, shame on Capcom. >
  • @#31 & #44 - Tomaytoe, tomahtoe =P
  • Thats ridiculous..
  • 28 delays later...
  • #8 FTW
  • nooooooooooooo iv'e already waited too long for this one. and for all you people who say that 28 days/weeks later are not zombie films you can fuck off because they never fully explain the details behind the rage virus. if it looks like a zombie acts like one and sounds like one ......fucking kill it!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
  • Nice...but what up with the comments lol, no people arguing or hating or anything?! Wow!!
  • nooooo i wanted this game soo bad, it was so close to my bday :(
  • 28 horror movies later
  • 28 days befor would be nice : )
  • Id say 28 days is a zombie film on the basis of they act like my perception of a smart zombie is. id also say dr2 is going to be a great game :D
  • At this point, what's one more delay, it's only been 4 years. And for god's sake, at least it wasn't 28 parsecs later..
  • gayyyyyyy
