Dr Game's PSA - Dead Rising 2 announcement
February 10th 2009 00:00
Since it seems like the topic of zombies tend to attract more people to my blog - well at least Left 4 Dead seems too, I thought I'd let you all know that Dead Rising 2 has now been officially announced.
For those unfamiliar with Dead Rising - the original was based in a shopping mall full of zombies. Your job was to not only discover what the hell is going on, but find survivors spread throughout the mall. The game took place in real time where you had 72 hours to complete all tasks. A toned-down version of the game is currently being ported to the Wii.
Dead Rising 2 will be available for PC, Xbox 360 and the PS3 and will be set in Fortune City, which looks to be inspired by Las Vegas. Frank West will not return, instead it will be some new guy... probably who woke up hungover after a big night on the Strip.
Dead Rising 2 looks to keep everything that made the original interesting to play including grabbing literally anything that's not nailed down and using it as a weapon. There was a viral video released recently that saw the protagonist using a hamster ball to mow down some zombies.
I'm hoping for some improvements on the original including being able to save anywhere you want and more fluid controls with vehicles.
No release date has been announced but Dr Game will have more for you when it's announced... because Dr Game cares about what you play.
