THE DEAD WALK AGAIN AS CAPCOM CONFIRMS DEAD RISINGTM 2
Sequel to 1.5 million-plus seller announced for multiple gaming platforms
London – February 9, 2009 - Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today confirmed that Dead Rising™ 2 is in development for three different gaming platforms: the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Sony Computer Entertainment’s PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) and the PC. The sequel to the 1.5 million-plus selling Dead Rising™, Dead Rising 2 will take the franchise to a new level of zombie-killing fun with tens of thousands of zombies, the all new gambling paradise of Fortune City to explore and conquer plus a host of new in-game objects that can all be used as deadly weapons to stave off the zombie assault.

Dead Rising 2 is set several years after the infamous zombie invasion of Willamette. Unfortunately, the zombie virus was not contained at the conclusion of Dead Rising, spreading unchecked throughout the United States and Dead Rising 2 depicts a country where zombie outbreaks continue to strike.

Dead Rising 2 is being developed in partnership with up and coming Canadian developer Blue Castle Games. A number of members from the original Dead Rising team will be working alongside Blue Castle Games throughout the development process, including Capcom’s global head of research and development, Keiji Inafune, who as the game’s Producer will play an active role in the project.

Released in 2006, Dead Rising won praise across the globe for its mix of intense zombie action and dark humour, garnering numerous awards including IGN’s “Most Innovative Design for Xbox 360”, Gamespot’s “Best Action-Adventure Game” for 2006 and “Action Game of the Year” at the 2006 Spike TV Video Game Awards.

Further details concerning the story and gameplay of Dead Rising 2 will be made available shortly.

Dead Rising 2 confirmed, going multiplatform
Posted on January 27, 2009 by Nick

In the latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Capcom indicated that 2009 would be 'the year of multiplatform'. In 2009, they will be focusing on releasing primarily multiplatform games for both the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360. This includes the sequel to the 360 exclusive zombie beat 'em up, Dead Rising. The sequel has finally been confirmed, and is due to hit in 2009. Capcom does promise some special goodies exclusive to the 360 version, in order to show it's good will towards the console

This is good news, I played the first one and it was good, I still wish they would've ported DR to PS3, but at least we get DR2.

Septimus Prime · 01-28-2009, 06:14 AM

Oh snap! The other system is dropping its exclusives left and right! DOOM! GLOOM!

katharsis · 01-28-2009, 06:21 AM

This is great news!
DR2 is one of the very few games I would have missed since I sold my 360.
Seems like I won't miss out any more...

360 apparently.

saprano · 01-28-2009, 08:01 AM

Figures, im not surprised.

I thought ment exclusives that 360 had is coming to the ps3. guess i read it wrong.

browinie · 01-28-2009, 08:09 AM

I think it has something to do with us not having the first DR on PS3. So the content might be different in the sense that we'll get alot of the original game in some form. Maybe.

Havok83 · 01-28-2009, 09:26 AM

not surprising. Capcom isnt in the business of making exclusive titles anymore

"Capcom does promise some special goodies exclusive to the 360 version, in order to show it's good will towards the console"

Where is the good will for the PS3 for Devil May Cry or Resident Evil? Oh well. I am happy that we are getting Dead Raising 2

Exactly! My guess is that the "good will", for Dead Rising 2, was in the form of a check from MS.

I just came! lol they need to just add a few things better computer AI, MULTIPLAYER!, and more ZOMBIES! God I love the first game and now I am suepr excited for this release to come. I will def have plenty of time to beat the hell out of RE5 before I give them more money when dead rising 2 comes out. I hope they bring the first one over to ps3 before the new one releases it would be a great title for ps3 to have in its library.
