Dead Rising 2 – first proper trailer

Motor bike, chains saws… Awesomeness!

Damn work.

Need this on XBL, stat.

Hmmm . . . after the last one it’s going to take a lot of convincing to make me part with my cash. The only thing less worthy of critical acclaim was the awful Lost Planet.

This has “blockbuster” written all over it. It’s smack in the middle of the “core” 360 and PS3 user. Dead cert.

I wonder what console is going to bag the exclusive weapon DLC at launch? Or maybe a ‘the different coloured jacket’ DLC.

Release date?

The embargo’s at 4.00pm GMT today. It’ll all come out then.

FFS. Stupid embargos. I really don’t see the point in them if the news is ready. Just let it go. (Not you Pat. Them)

16:00 GMT is… 17.00 BST, yes?

No Pat, you to, let it go! What could they do?

16:00 is 17:00 CET, no idea what ‘BST’ is…

I really must pick up the first one.

BST is British Summer Time. What we’re in now (in the UK)

Yes Blerk, you really should. It’s very good.

Yep, BST. Sorry.

So 16:00 BST then. Cool, I’ll catch the news before I leave work.

I’m hoping for a July/August release myself.

Tied up with games ATM already, Sacred 2 in June, ODST in September. So July/August would be great.

And I also hope they’ve got a decent achievement list too. Many of the achievements in DR1 were fun, and the range of them was very easy to damned hard. Very good spread of ‘chieves IMO.

Ah!

from Wiki:

“In March of 2009, Capcom released a statement confirming that Dead Rising 2 will not see a 2009 release”

Should be an interesting one. I wonder how they responded to the criticism the first game received? It had a hardcore save system that put a lot of people off – casual gamers eh?

Can’t really see too much in terms of different game areas in this trailer…and sad to see the camera-weilding journalist character has been abandoned in favour of…Chuck?

can you wear the moose head while riding the bike and wielding the twin chainsaw polearm?

Better on-screen caption boxes for we HD-deficient types, please. No wonder I need glasses, after playing the first one…

Lutz: I seen that too, I dont know if they mean fiscal or calendar 09.

Me thinks it’ll be out this calendar year.

meh. Hope isn’t as bland and repetitive as the first one. Perhaps killing endless zombies with baseball bats isnt for me

Embargo lifted now?
