Xbox 360 ‘Dead Rising 2′ at TGS and may not be 360 exclusive
Word is leaking from Capcom today that Dead Rising 2 could be making a brief appearance at TGS later this month.
No word on whether or not this will be on the show floor, or behind closed doors but we’ll be sure to bring you more information on the title as and when we get it. Other information is coming forward claiming that Dead Rising 2 will not in fact be a 360 exclusive like the first title was and may be coming to PS3 as well. This is certainly no surprise with Capcom already having stated earlier this year that they wanted to make the most out of their new IP’s. Could this mean a port of Lost Planet for PS3 too?
For me, the original Dead Rising was the first must have title for the 360 shortly after launch. Only let down by a poorly implemented save system, with a little work in this area DR2 could be yet another must have.
What changes would you like to see in Dead Rising 2? Let us know in the comments section.
In other Capcom news, both Resident Evil 5 and Devil May Cry 4 will be on the show floor and almost certainly both playable to some extent.

and wheres this information that it will be multiplatform?

@jewbagel
In general - it’s been known for months that this would be the case, should a sequel ever appear.
September 3rd, 2007 at 5:15 pm
does this even matter we want the games to come 2 all game systems, so everyone can play good games no matter what

Sweet, zombie games by capcom always seem to be hits with me, however I do agree the save system was very trying on the last itteration, hopefully something can be done about that… and maybe a few more guns thrown in there? maybe a few more main characters? either way, xbox is the place to be for zombies!
One gripe I do have tho.. apart from dead rising, one thing xbox is certainly lacking in is the survival horror genre. we had some titles that touch that area but no real full-survival horror titles, somone please bring one out soon…
In need my survival horror hit….
I have withdrawl…
September 4th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
I Want no wait NEED! Co-Op in DR2(Online and if Possible Off line)

[…] Mehrere Gerüchte gehen kommen aus Richtung Capcom. Zum einem kursiert die Nachricht, das Dead Rising 2 wohl später in diesem Monat (auf der Tokyo Game Show) in Erscheinung treten dürfte. Somit dürfte einem Nachfolger nichts mehr im Wege stehen. Auch die Beschlagnahmung des Vorgängers tut diesem keinen Abbruch. Es darf jedoch erwartet werden, dass der neue Titel ebensowenig geschnitten sein wird. Ansonsten gibt es ja noch einige Import-Händler, die sich über Cuts in Deutschland sehr freuen. Leider gibt es aber auch noch ein zweites, nicht so schönes, Gerücht. Dieses besagt, dass Dead Rising 2 nicht mehr Exklusiv auf der Xbox 360 erscheinen wird. Wenn man die bisherigen Meldungen von Capcom zum Thema Exklusivität hört, kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass dies einer Tatsache entspricht. Capcom sagt selbst, dass sie mehr Multi-Plattform Games produzieren wollen. Via: Xbox360wire.co.uk […]

i think they should make the next one more of a sandbox game than anything else….or they should at least make it, say, in a city where you try to escape and stop the spread of the zombies….co-op would definitely be a must and having maybe even your own 4 or 5 man team too….instead of just being by yourself…..that would make things more interesting….being able to keep your items with unlocked cheats would be nice…but they should be worth the time of getting the achievements to get them….
September 19th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
this will be another must have title multiplayer is a must have but ive heard it is going to be based in las vegas more weapons and more multiplayer mode such as a survival mode hope the zombie dont get smart tho and get weapons this would be a step in the wrong direction for this game
September 21st, 2007 at 8:16 pm
On-line co-op would be awesome. Change the aiming/firing functions to a more traditional right stick/right trigger combo. The gun use was the biggest let down in this game after the save issue.
October 8th, 2007 at 2:38 pm
i totally agree the save system was a bit of a let down….also i thought it would have been a better idea to reconfigure the controls.
but you guys need to think before you throw out crazy comments like add co-op etc etc etc…
your just going to turn this game into another mercinaries type fiasco,where each of you have a certain ability to use weapons or some old rubbish.(u all know the type)
in my view thats not what dead rising is about….its about solitude,servival,and what the hell happend hear with thousands of zombies hunting you down,i mean jesus.
ok fare enough have a seperate co-op mode but do not in any way spoil the games meaning.
u know the old saying-if it isnt broken dont try to fix it.
of coarse sort out the control system and save….
but please do not change the structure of what dead rising means to all of us.
“FEAR”
IM SURE U WILL ALL HAVE IDEAS,LETS MAKE THEM 1.
October 31st, 2007 at 2:10 pm
I would love to see multiplayer. A deathmatch of sorts. Where each player is a psychopath and you’re all surrounded by zombies. Last on left standing, wins. How cool would that be? hehe
November 6th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
i dont think the saving was an issue.
it would be great if u could get buff by working out at the gym, or fat from eatin 2 much when u dont need it multiplayer online and off wud b great too!!!
November 7th, 2007 at 2:46 am
they should make it on a cruise ship for the setting or another mall setting and maybe a different chacacter that can actally walk w/out looking like he has to go to the bathroom and new weapons.=))
November 8th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
crurse ship is a good idea and should be it and they should also have some other person encounter the zombies it would be cool. and alot more wepons and guns and swords and not weird ones.
it would be good if he didnot walk like he has to take a shit
November 8th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
but he dosnt walk like he needs 2 shit.
there are loads of other peope who encounter the zombies too1
BUT A CRUISE ship IS a good idea tho. But id like it to be somethin like the Town of willamete, not just the mall, and you cud go 2 someones house and see if there still alive and all that.
November 8th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
deathmatch wudnt be very gud either
it wud take away that feeling of having to survive on ur own
maybe a co-op or somethin wud be gud?
November 17th, 2007 at 12:22 pm
i hope there is lots of suvivors like in tha 1st 1 they were tha best
November 18th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
it would be good if you could take suvivors out with you to battle the zombies
but leave some in a safe room or something if your worried about them dying
also i would love to see more personality in the suvivors e.g. make some1 famouse n really stuck up or something and it would be good if you could walk in go up to a suvivor and change to them and leave the other peson in the safe house or whateva it is in dr2.
i would love to see better looking girls but thats a bit to fussy maybe girls who can fight like isabela and kay in the 1st one.
it would also be good if some of the characters would appear in the 2nd one e.g.
frank isabela maybe a new blonde bomshell to replace the dead jessie and a new guy to be your right hand man like brad
dead rising 2 defonatly need suvivors though !!!!!!
November 22nd, 2007 at 6:13 pm
another good idead would be to start of running down a street
as frank or isabela or maybe someone new
camra angle to left and you see lots of people running e.g. a policeman, good lukin woman camra angle to right and you see more people runing and then one behing and you see people gatting eaten by zombies and hearing constant screams.
then you could all run into a newsagents or something and try and baricade the door and look for somewere to escapee.g. going across rooftops looking for safty.
November 29th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
I think the only bad issue with dead rising was the fact that you needed a microscope to read the text when that caretaker guy kept phoning you. Way to small writing. Plus the guy phoned you way to often and it became annoying. other than that…. great game.
November 29th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
in Dead Rising 2 it would be a excellent idea if a zombies Arm or Head gets chopped of by a chainsaw or any other wepon Blood should squirt and spray out for a realistic amount of time and it should squirt out realisticly even when the zombie falls down to the ground the Blood should still be squirting out of the arm sockets and the top of the neck out. and when a zombie gets shot with a gun in Dead Rising 2. it would be a excellent idea if the gun shots put bullet holes in the zombies and when the zombie gets shot or stabed to Death a puddle of blood should appear from the Dead body in Dead Rising 2.it would also be a good if there were more wepons in Dead Rising 2 than the first game in Dead rising 2 there should be more types of all wepons more types of guns and more types of tools including chainsaws Axes shotguns and lodes more.and in Dead rising 2 when Blood splaters on the walls it would be a good idea if the blood dribbles and drips down the walls .and in Dead rising 2 when Blood splaters on the floor it should splat on the floor realisticly

I think dead rising 2 could use alot of things.
1) More guns, such as flame throwers, machine guns, more pistols, also i feel the guns need to be able to deal some real damage instead of having to unload a entire clip into a zombie to kill them.
2) I feel DR2 would be a excellent two player co-op game (off-line)
3) DR2 needs more boses to defeat
4) Needs to be placed in a larger area to explore, (not a stupid amusement park, that dumb idea has been used so many times, it would just ruin DR2)
I think the game should take place in a mid-sized town that you can fully explore, a big city would be to large and cause to many problems
5) It would be nice to have some NPC’s that did something to help you instead of just being stupid retards that you have to risk everything to save.
Smarter NPC’s, more NPC’s.
6) More mission quests, plus more side quests, some special quests as well that unlock special characters and special endings as well as special weapons and equipment.
7) big one is more equipment, more items which can be used as weapons, even for the hell of it add more goofy weapons just to make the game funner and get laughs.
8) DR 1 only allowed you to play as the jouralist guy who was investigating.
i feel they need to create several characters you can play as, with each character having a different storyline and different missions. also of course different skills and abilities, take the idea of Resident Evil outbreak.
just like REO the characters at which you are not playing act as NPC’s durning the game.
Everything which i have said woudl be a huge improvment on DR2 and quite possible with the new 360 and PS3 systems.
and just to finish this long comment up i would like to say i liked DR’s getting bonus cloths, weapons and equipment for achievements and feel that needs to be added onto DR2 with more stuff which can be aquired as that really made getting achievements worth wild.
December 8th, 2007 at 9:44 am
Its been said on capcom .com that its possible that it could and might not be created if it is it called something different then dr2 but the maker of the game would love to make the sequel others at capcom arnt favoring for it but well see.Dont believe me go to www.capcom.com.
Now i believe if a sequel or wat eva its called needs to freakin have a way easier escape system a safer save system.No old bag callin u for a mission every few seconds. make it that if u find a survivor it will give u a mission to find family or friends or lost valuables.have main missions done by movies like in dr1,and have a list of objectives from the all survivors that u meet their missions will go away unless there with u.more varieties of zombies such as old peeps and childrens jus different zombies not 1 million of the same exact zombie in the setting i mean i can see a few 100 of the same but a million thats jus weird.make a limited number of zombies and the zombie you kill wont come back.more bosses.a larger area like a small town.like the other guy mentioned have a famous person or some1 of importance to protect or kill.different characters each with their own storylines.totally new and better weapons…like spears(like in a mueseam somewhere in the town) or instruments (like in a school) and better guns like rocket launchers(taken from military)
December 8th, 2007 at 7:18 pm
the first Dead rising was a grate game but it needed a lot of improvements to make it a perfect game it would be excellent if Dead Rising 2 could fit in thease upgrade chainges that the first game dident have no.1 in Dead Rising 2 when a zombies Arm head or leg gets chopped off by any wepon blood should squirt and spray out for a realistic time even when the zombie falls down to the ground the blood should still be squirting out of the arm sockets and the top of the neck etc. no.2 when a zombie gets shot with a gun in Dead Rising 2 the gunshots should put bullet holes in the zombies. and also when a zombie gets shot and dies a puddle of blood should slowly apear from the dead body no.3 in Dead Rising 2 there should be a lot more weapons and a lot more types of weapons including chainsaws Axes shotguns and a lot more tools and guns no.4 in Dead Rising 2 there should be a lot more vehicels to drive then the first game. no.4 in Dead Rising 2 the words in the texts and sentances should be biger and more easy to read then the texts and sentances in the first Dead Rising no.5 in Dead Rising 2 there should be mor shops and land.
December 11th, 2007 at 12:22 am
i think DR2 should have alot of lesbian sex scenes
January 8th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
on dr2 the gud guys sud have the better guns
January 14th, 2008 at 12:55 am
SHOULD HAVE PARNTERS TO FIGHT THE ZOMBIES OR PYSHACO PATHS
January 24th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
ya thats rite it should have people helpin you with pyshaco paths or zombies and in stead of bein in a mall or town it could be in a city and u can rip off doors and do wut eva and i mean wut eva you want and i mean wut eva you want to pick up even weapons of wat eva instead of wut the comercials say sayin everythin is a weapon when you can only pick up wuts in the store instead of the wall or pictures and if only one person thats frank west could kill over 1 or 4 thousand zombies and the computer charicters can only hold off like 5 or 6 zombies at a time maybe less.
January 29th, 2008 at 1:10 am
hey, i am a die hard dead rising fan , even though the saving system bites, i really want you guys to put dead rising 2 on the 360, and to really imrove the save system =/…..
January 29th, 2008 at 1:13 am
*improve* also take your time making the game, its already been like 3 years, dont try to rush and screw it up… much love
February 6th, 2008 at 7:03 am
They really need to fix up the save feature and make it so that otus cannot call you randomly. Those were the only flaws…I guess
March 18th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
like someone already said…..co-op/online would be awesome, also maybe set in a town…..here you can go in all the houses etc, that would be pretty sweet
March 21st, 2008 at 7:07 am
havnt eny of u finished dead rising in the end frank dies
and the new ones called dead island so prob number 2 but u cant pick up ferniture only weps and its first person (found out from the creators) but in the 2nd one of the spotlights is u can still pick up mass of stuff but in this case only weps and suplies and items ect stufe
im just disapointed its first person (so u can only see the hands and weps but the combat system looks great.
March 27th, 2008 at 11:12 am
one phsycopath versus a team of other players that would be good multiplayer the team would have to find weapons the phsycopath would have his own also customisable weapons
June 21st, 2008 at 5:50 am
Dead rising 2 is just what all gamers want. but there are some changes needed. more guns, better saving system, online co-op, and maby even open world. also, no more text. let the people speak!
July 27th, 2008 at 7:45 am
The only things I can think of would be more guns (varied), more zombie models, so you nearly never notice the same ones next to each other, co-op play, and Voice actors throughout. I understand it was an early title, so I let it slide =P
In regards to the “poor” saving system.
You’re all idiots.
GUIDE TO UNLIMITED SAVE FILES:
Save game
make new xbox profile
Save game
Repeat
Derp.
August 14th, 2008 at 7:01 am
i would just like to say i agree 110% with Dead Man, the guys in the first one were deffidently retarded, especially when they were like right beside the storage room door and i was trying to get them in, a few kept running into that planter and wouldnt move no matter how many times i called them. and one time one got killed by a few of those yellow jacket ppl cause of that planter. also it would deffidenty be awesome if you can be different characters with different endings, cause i would like choose my own fate, and ending in the game, and that would deffidently make me want to play it again. i hope the game makers of this game (prob going to be Blue Castle Game, or somtin like that) will listen to the DR fans, cause there are some pretty fukin good idea which would sell for alott.
August 21st, 2008 at 6:48 pm
I think the saving system for dead rising is average, it is not good and it is not bad. but i would like to see some improvement. Frank west the main character needs to be kept from the first dead rising so him and isabella can go to las vegas where it is supposed to be set. Another thing is keep otis the janitor i really got what he was talking about so i hope they keep these characters. I hope there’s a character like brad but with a shotgun this time. The last thing i want to add is i hope on deadrising 2 there is a mode were you can just wander round the places and have fun killing zombies and rescuing people.
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:11 am
milky is wrong
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:16 am
Milky is wright and we do need to keep frank in the game and isabella but we need a new main character in the game as well as frank
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:59 pm
zombies are cool! the end of my life AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 26th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I think they should make it like..Grand Theft Auto..your in an open city overran by zombies but still have missions to accomplish. I loved Dr1 but the fact that your stuck inside a mall can get old and fast.You shold be able to just walk through the city,being able to steal cars to get from place to place,but still have to fight zombies..becuase that is all the fun
September 26th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I would like you to have more clothes what you could ever have, and more gore, more wepons, like Big city full of zombies and steal cars and bikes and still do missions like but know time limit so you dont have to rush through the game and av more fun and all the items you can pick up and all the shops open loads o things ohh and you can have your own place.
September 26th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
AND PLZ!!! GET IT ON THE 360 FIRST AGAIN
October 14th, 2008 at 4:05 am
Hello just writing about dead rising although it is entertaining i find the game play un bearable.
There is so many flaws i cant begin to start hence the forced short time play.
The whole idea you become bruce willis not a f*** reporter the fact everything in the game is gunning for you..
I aspecialy hate how the only time your not an object of food is only when you are escorting survivors hence screwing you over easily.
I think what annoys me the most is the so called bad guys in the game there all idiots who just walk around a mall full of zombies and survived ? plus that stupid cult that ruined the game for me .. zombies wouldent evin attack them.
I keep hearing of how game play will become as realistic as can be bu sadley its like in gta and stuff the only realisticness of it is to work against you totally as if the bad guys and thousand load of zombies arent eough. you get timed to quickly i think you should be allowed your own pace it is already a tough game.
The save part dident bother me funny enough its just to have such a flawed timer and how everything went against you.
October 28th, 2008 at 6:08 am
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THE BEST GAME MAKE IT ONLINE OR OFFLINE CO-OP. 2-8 PLAYERS ONLINE KILLING WAVES OF ZOMBIES AND RUNNING.NEW ENVIRONMENT LIKE A CITY OR CRUISE OR ISLAND.NO LAG. MY FRIENDS AND I WOULD PLAY ALL DAY.
