OXCGN TGS Announcements: Dead Rising 2 multiplayer Video

OXCGN writes:

With recent speculation that Dead Rising 2 would feature a multiplayer aspect, many fans of the original have been wondering how Capcom could possibly incorporate this feature into the highly anticipated sequel.

Why?? Why do developers feel compelled to shoe-horn crappy multiplayer into every game? This looks completely stupid. I thought Dead Rising was supposed to be scary, quirky Japanese flavor and have some tension.. Not screaming "USA! USA! USA! I'm a UFC testoroned 15 year old and I want to cut something up or beat someones azz!"

These new dev's are butchering the game.

Not only have you whored it to every platform, it looks like the game is missing all of its style from the original classic.. and it's still taking forever to get done. /rant

Sort of agree GEC. I don't like the WWE/UFC style of 'gameshow' they have chosen, if they are going to do a multiplayer element based off a gameshow, why not use one of the quirky Japanese styles of gameshow?

Still looking forward to it though.

Agree, it's as if they have sold the whole idea of the game out in order to simply make it more appealing to the American gamer public. Sure, they do have a huge gamer share, but so does Europe, and if they even want to keep Japan onside, then they need to keep some flavour in the game/s from their country of origin.

Not my style of game, and I won't be getting this other than review code, thankfully.

Can not wait for this awesome game. LP2 will be cool, but DR2...best Capcom game this gen confirmed! The first was too awesome. Its still in my top 5 favorite 360 games!

Godem5348d ago

I hated Dead Rising 1, doubt ill get this one, but its nice to see that its not just a Single Player game anymore.

Gamer_Politics5348d ago

the first game was terrible in my opinion and really dont have any hope for this one.....

XboxOZ3605348d ago

Agreed, plus it's doubtful that'll now make it past the OFLC here in Australia. Way to go Capcom, make the game even more gory and make sure the board knocks it back - 10 points - not.

Blow Out Your Brains5348d ago

First one played like a last gen game. I wouldn't expect much more from this.

kingdavid5348d ago

Fail. It was one of the first 360 games released.

going from trailers, it definitely looks like a graphics upgrade and refinements in gameplay.

XboxOZ3605348d ago

You're right about that mate, it was one of the very first-gen releases for the 360, alongside COD2, which also looked a tad woahful actually, it wasn't until their second gen of games that many developers started to come to grips with things, and only now dev are just starting to work properly with the 360 as well as the PS3.

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...

Darksonic221380d ago

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

InklingGirl1380d 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.

Darksonic221380d 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.

ColdSin1380d ago

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

darthv721380d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1380d ago

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

RamRod881380d 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.

DeadManMMX1380d 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.

Gamerking821380d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891380d ago

haha yes it may....good one.

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

Chaos_Order1443d ago

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