G4 Gamescom Preview: Dead Rising 2

G4 writes...

"Zombies to the left of me. Zombies to the right of me. Zombies to the front of me. Zombies to the…back…of me. The shambling, undead hordes extend in all directions for as far as I can see. The glittery neon signs of Fortune City’s Silver Strip of casinos and shops light up the night, giving the evening’s festivities an air of the spectacular, even though I’m about spend the next 15 minutes bashing, slicing, shooting, and crushing hundreds of walking dead with everything from a bat covered with nails to a bucket outfitted with three power drills to a standard lawnmower. It’s at this moment that I truly feel welcomed into the world of Dead Rising 2."

How can this be a GamesCom Preview? This Game was not shown at Cologne, this will be not released in Germany

Those zombies remind me of the Xbox 360 user base.

Brain dead sheep who knowingly buy and support defective products.

if a credit card is debit does it mean money that you put in yourself or money that the bank lets you borrow?

Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...

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

InklingGirl1780d 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.

Darksonic221780d 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.

ColdSin1780d ago

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

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1780d ago

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

RamRod881780d 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.

DeadManMMX1780d 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.

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

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

Chaos_Order1843d ago

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