TeamXbox:
Blue Castle Games? Who the Hell are these guys, you're asking, and how did they end up with a prize plum such as Dead Rising 2 ? A quick perusal of the company's resume tells us that it's pretty much just done a baseball game for 2K Sports. Really? I guess the animations for nailing a zombie in the face with a bat will be dead on. But Inafune seems more than comfortable with the choice of Blue Castle to do Dead Rising 2, and the live game demonstration we watched gave the collected journalists some reassurance as well. Dead Rising 2 definitely looks very impressive.
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.
Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...
They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.
This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.
Some video game weapons are so outlandish they could never realistically be used, and that's why they're on our list of the 10 most impractical weapons in gaming.
This game sounds lackluster.I will not purchase it...oh my mistake.This is a preview of the 360 version.I will search for the preview of the superior PS3 version.
