Dead Rising 2 will not be shown at E3

Much anticipated Capcom title Dead Rising 2 will now not be shown at this year's E3 thanks to a Swine Flu outbreak in Osaka, Japan, Capcom told Kotaku.

What does the flu have to do with zombies? Seriously...

I mean come on, that's going a little too far. Maybe some one has watched too many movies or something.

I think this is a little ridiculous.

That's cool and all to have an imagination but when it becomes a problem to gamers, that we won't see a game because of it. It kind of pisses me off.

In real life I don't see the connection enough.

Wow H1N1 keeps Dead Rising from E3......I have officialy heard it all.

xztence5469d ago

Swine Flu is serious business in japan. Bummer.
But atleast all of their other games will be there.

GiantEnemyCrab5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

Yeah, this is BS! I've been saying all along this game is looking like a massacre of the original and both Blue Castle and Capcom are not confident so they are going to hide this thing and try to sell it on name alone..

The devs are in Canada! Funny, how every other Capcom title will be there.

This was one of the top games I wanted to see at E3. E3 just keeps looking more and more lame by the day.

Thought the same when I heard Rockstar wasn't going to show any new games, Bungie can't show the new game, and some others also missing if I recall just can't remember the names.

I think this is a little ridiculous

This sounds like the decision of someone who's letting their imagination defeat them.

And now they're making it our problem.

Either that, or it's just a cover up to not show the game for a different reason.

So stupid. Its just like any other flu. The only people that have dies were either young children or old people. The ones always susceptible to viruses and such. The media just LOVES throwing things out of proportion.

SpoonyRedMage5469d ago

May be Capcom know something we don't about the flu....

Ready your shotguns folks, we're going to need 'em.

What Happened To The Dead Rising Series?

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...

Darksonic221375d ago

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl1375d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic221375d ago

Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.

ColdSin1375d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

darthv721375d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1375d ago

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

RamRod881375d ago

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.

DeadManMMX1375d ago

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.

Gamerking821375d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891375d ago

haha yes it may....good one.

The paddle bat and string ball from Fallout should be considered too.

Chaos_Order1438d ago

I would've included Tira's ring blade from Soul Calibur.
