Capcom: No Dead Rising 2 at E3

Capcom has told OXM UK that Dead Rising 2 will not be making an appearance at E3.

Dead Rising 2 appointments at E3 have been cancelled due to swine flu fears. There won't be any Dead Rising 2 material of any kind at the show.

Due to the swine flu fears ? wow that sucks. I hope after e3 capcom will show some more footage.

This is one of the weirdest stories I've ever heard.
Capcom = Michael Jackson

sucks.. big time.. was really looking forward to this... swine flu fears ? really? are they serious?

TomVanDamm5451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

Capcom, it is swine flu, it will not turn anyone into a zombie! They are working so hard on the game, they are afraid of viruses.

Come to think of it, why not send the "Western Developer" Blue Castle to show the game off?

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...

Darksonic221357d ago

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

InklingGirl1357d 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.

Darksonic221357d 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.

ColdSin1357d ago

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

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1357d ago

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

RamRod881357d 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.

DeadManMMX1357d 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.

Gamerking821357d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

haha yes it may....good one.

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

Chaos_Order1420d ago

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