Dead Rising 2 developer Blue Castle Games is starting on a new “action project,” according to a job ad, requiring the successful applicant’s “finger” to be “on the pulse of open world and FPS games like Prince of Persia, Assassins Creed, Halo, and everything in between.”

So that’s everything, then. Read the full thing on Gama.

What is it? We don’t know. And neither do you. This is great, huh?

Capcom has released a fact sheet for Dead Rising 2, and it provides you with a background story on our new hero, ex-motocross rider Chuck Greene, and the zombie outbreak in Fortune City.

Here is just a smidgen:

Like millions of Americans, Chuck is gripped by the TV sensation that is Terror is Reality. Hosted by the flamboyant Tyrone King and ably assisted by his two glamorous co-hosts, Terror is Reality pits ordinary members of the public against an arena full of zombies with a simple challenge – kill more zombies than your opponents and stay alive. The lucky winner will collect big money and the chance to come back and secure even greater prizes.

Like a modern day gladiatorial contest, those lucky enough to get a grandstand seat urge the contestants to spill more zombie blood, with over the top takedowns greeted by rapturous applause and the promise of slow motion replays on the arena’s jumbotron. So, what is it that has forced Chuck to risk his life, is he trying to recapture the fame of his motocross days, does he have a reason to hate zombies, or is it simply the lure of big money?

Sounds terrific. The full thing is past the break.

You’ve heard about the moose head helmet, the weapons, the wheelchair, and many other wonderful things regarding Dead Rising 2 this morning, but now comes some more details on the multiplayer aspect.

Turns out, a series of multiplayer challenges for up to four players online include “jumping into giant hamster balls and mowing down the undead; seeing who can place the most drill buckets on zombies’ heads” and “taking to the arena on a motorbike with chainsaws for handlebars” and that trusty antler helmet.

There is also the option to “fight dirty” by messing with other players scoring.

Game is slated for release before March 31 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Thanks, Shack.

Dead Rising creator Keiji Inafune has assured fans that Dead Rising 2, despite being made in North America, won’t betray the ‘flavor’ of the original Japanese game.

“[Blue Castle Games] really understood the Japanese flavor that made Dead Rising so unique,” he said in the latest Capcom podcast, adding that the original team is still highly involved.

“They showed me that they are serious about making a game that keeps that Capcom ‘spice’ intact, and so far it’s going very well.”

Inafune refused to mention any further juicy details, but did say that the new lead character will be more interesting than Frank West.
