First Look: Dead Rising 2 on PS3

"When zombies first descended on the shoppers of fictional Willamette, Colorado in Dead Rising, the PlayStation 3… didn’t exist. Four years later, the zombies are ready to shamble, moan, and hunger for brains again in Dead Rising 2 – coming to PS3 this August.

Didn’t play the first game? We’ve got you covered. Capcom’s Mike Schmitt and Wes Phillips walk us through the sequel’s new multiplayer modes, and give newcomers a look at the delicious combination of goofiness and gore that summarize the Dead Rising universe."

A good zombie game I can play, resident evil (although a big fan) doesn't satisfy my zombie cravings anymore.

Now all that is left to go multiplat is ME2, then I'm set.

Hanif-8765149d ago

I'm sure their working on Mass Effect 2 as we speak :-)

Chubear5149d ago (Edited 5149d ago )

Though I do get that tonnes of gamers LOVE zombie gaming, I never understood the appeal of this game but none the less, those that have always wanted the game on the PS3 now have it.

The whole Zombie movement this gen has been something very baffling to me too lol. The best one's been L4D and in that setting it makes sense and is fun for a period of time but I've not yet seen a shooter/melee zombie game that really en capsules that whole zombie vibe where you're scared ****less.

RE4 did a great job with "zombies" but none outside of the RE series have made me interested in any manner. RE5 was kinda whatever but still decent enough with the zombie theme.

I know some gamer who won't even touch another CoD game with no Zombie mode in it. Crazy! lol

Christopher5149d ago (Edited 5149d ago )

I like the diversity of weapons and the humor elements, but that video looked fairly lackluster and lacked a lot of the action one would expect in a zombie game. I'm hoping that's just a boring section of the game. Though, admittedly, the last part looked a bit more action-packed, but then they go and shut it off early.

Inside_out5149d ago

This is NOT the console game...I've seen a walk through, this is a arcade title....geez guy's, give the maker of RE4 some credit....LMFAO...

Solidus187-SCMilk5149d ago

It was really hard untill I found you could give the other survivors weapons and health items.

this game is looking really fun.

ThanatosDMC5148d ago

I usually end up killing them accidentally with the sledgehammer when im trying to save them from getting overwhelmed. All that trouble then BAM! Dead.

Roper3165148d ago

the only thing that will epic about this game will be the amount of locked content on the disc, so Scamcom can sell it to you on release day to make more money.

ThanatosDMC5148d ago (Edited 5148d ago )

I watched the video but does this mean that there wont be a horde of zombies on screen during co-op? It looked kinda empty compared to how the first one.

Also, why cant it be a Batman or Robin suit?! Yeah yeah... copyrighted materials...

He also mentioned that there's heretics or something along those lines? I hope it's those weird guys worshiping the zombies. They were fun.

72hr clock is back. Looks like we'll have multiple ending again. Cant wait for this game!

But i hope it's just their screen capturing but the game itself doesnt look as good as the trailers. Maybe they lower the graphics a bit during co-op? Also, if you notice there's zombie "jumping" in and out of the screen. Lag, maybe? They need dedicated servers.

HolyOrangeCows5148d ago

I had a lot of fun with the first game.

But we all know crapcom is going to find some way to make it worse than its predecessors (See Lost Planet 2, Resident Evil 5, etc). Plus an iffy Ps3 version, I'm sure.

Arkham5149d ago

Finally! Looking forward to this. The original was one of the 360's games I've always wanted to play on the PS3.

Hellsvacancy5149d ago

Defo buy 4-me aswel, i was gutted i didnt get 2 play the 1st game

Captain Tuttle5149d ago

That looks terrible. Hopefully they clean it up in time for release.

DavidMacDougall5149d ago

Looks boring, that helicopter trick didn't even work plus that bucket drill thing will be fun once!

ReBurn5148d ago

The game certainly doesn't look as smooth as the first one, but they still have a couple of months to smooth out the rough edges.

ElementX5149d ago

I played the first game when I owned a 360. It was so much fun I can't even begin to describe! Total mayhem, TONS of weapons and objects to fight off zombies... Too bad a lot of the people around here are fanboys. If they would only give 360 a chance, they might've been able to play the first one, it was a gem!

talltony5149d ago (Edited 5149d ago )

What I didn't like was the load times from just changing mall locations. And the ending where they just left us hanging when they were on top of the tank after fighting that boss guy. I wanted to see more and kinda wish they would continue that story with Dr2. But nontheless Dr2 looks alot of fun and is on my buy list..

ElementX5149d ago

Yes the load times were bad, so was the checkpoint save system, however the game was amazing regardless! Everybody is so anxious to play DR2, but the players of the first one have already experienced it!

edgeofblade5148d ago

I butt heads with people all the time in how incredible DR1 was. It got the details of a zombie crisis perfect, even if things like the save system were hamfisted.

And it was hard.

ReBurn5148d ago

The time limits in DR1 were absolutely insane. I don't know how anyone could accomplish all of the goals. For people who say it was just about killing a zombies, you can tell that those people didn't just didn't get what the game was about. Those zombies and the obstacles they created made achieving the true objectives so insanely difficult. It was such great fun.

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot19d ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga18d ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj18d ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia19d ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

TGG_overlord19d ago

And all it took was +24 years + a phone call from me lol.

GotGame81818d ago

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!

Stellar Blade has sold more physical copies than Dragon's Dogma 2 in Japan, despite PS5 exclusivity

By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.

Hugodastrevas22d ago

Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!

BrettAwesome22d ago

More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂

gerbintosh22d ago

Don't see the difference between cgi titties and fake boobs. Also no difference to wanking it to either one of them since both aren't physically there

RiseNShine22d ago

Salty that the game is doing well hm? ;) I suggest some cheese with your whine.

Skuletor21d ago

So you're saying the people that like watching CGI tits didn't praise the game? An educated guess is you meant the opposite.

BrettAwesome21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

@Risenwhine
What the fuck are you talking about? I think it looks like an awesome game. I don't get the sentiment that it didn't get as much praise as it deserved. The only ones who's been shit talking it, are sad wankers with no sex life. Am I whining? How? 😂

Cacabunga22d ago

I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future

shinoff218322d ago

Same but I'm hitting yakuza right now. Stellar blade looks cool though.

neutralgamer199222d ago

Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success

Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future

H922d ago

Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one

Redemption-6422d ago

DS2 sold 2.5M in a little over a week, what the hell are you talking about?

H922d ago

"there", that's Japan, this article is about Japan, the bad word of mouth is about Japan

Hereandthere22d ago

Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.

The_Hooligan22d ago

How dare you speak common sense!!??

YourMommySpoils22d ago

Cause Hellblade 2 really matters?

jznrpg22d ago

It would if they added a lot more combat and didn’t focus on graphics

XiNatsuDragnel22d ago

Stellar blade is great excited for 2

anast22d ago

They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.

shinoff218322d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.

spss1122d ago

I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.

anast21d ago

Yeah, the content, combat movement is slower, less vocations, the armor system, it's more simplified, and dungeons are lacking. It's like they rushed it out or something, but didn't forget to add in youtuber pawns and micros. At least ME 2 upped the content.

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel28d ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga28d ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot27d ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B27d ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga27d ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb27d ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Yui_Suzumiya27d ago

Code Veronica definitely needs it the most!

fsfsxii28d ago

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid28d ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman28d ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.

Levii_9228d ago

Come on State of Play already!!!
