Let’s open this entry with a bang…the Dead Rising 2 presentation was fandabydozily superb.
The game may feel like the first title in terms of control, but the new environments (Fortune City is around 4 times bigger than the Mall in the first title) and the new weapons (moose head etc.) are sure to help Dead Rising 2 separate itself in more ways than one.
With Chuck Greene being the new character, complete with new goals and missions, you get a more rockstar edge to the game. He wears a biker jacket (with Keiji spelled backwards on it, as a reference to Inafune-san) and has crazy blonde hair. Yeah baby.
What we were shown was single strip of road filled to the brim with zombies (at one point filled with around 7000 zombies!). We were shown a couple of weapons ranging from the baseball bat to a moose head (where you can charge and take down enemies), all the way to a sword and cash machine.
The most interesting weapons were the chainsaw staff (chainsaw either end) and chainsaw motorcycle (which chainsaws attached to the sides), as well as a builder’s hat with drills in it. The instant thought I got was that there will be customisation in the game. After all, you don’t just find these things laying around in real life, eh? Of course, just to show off, Dan Brady showed us what happened when you get on a chainsaw motorbike and go through a crowd of 7000 zombies. Good times indeed.
Overall, the game looks phenomenal. It will no doubt be addictive as the game, but even better I’m sure.
