Dead Rising 2 is a third-person action-adventure survival horror game that takes place five years after the end of the original Dead Rising, moving its zombie apocalypse setting into the glamorous Fortune City.
Are any of the people in this picture wartime photojournalists?Mere days after sneaking out a non-committal video on the topic, Capcom has confirmed that Dead Rising 2 is in the works, with development efforts coming courtesy of Blue Castle Games, a studio based in Burnaby, British Columbia. That's in Canada, where I'm told that they're taught about how to deal with a zombie threat as soon as they hit Grade 8. Blue Castle will receive assistance from members of the original game's development team, and Keiji Inafune himself will serve as the game's producer.
The press release teases that more details are forthcoming, but it does mention that the casino-heavy footage found in the initial tease doesn't mean the game is set in Las Vegas. Instead, it's set in "Fortune City," an "all-new gambling paradise." And here I was hoping for an achievement/trophy based on killing a number of zombies that matches Vegas' population.
Given Capcom's continued dedication to multiplatform releases, it probably won't surprise you that the game is headed to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Anyone wanna take bets on if the PC version will ship later than the console versions, just like every other Capcom multiplatform release? No? Smart move. But, for the record, no release date has been announced.

I really liked the first one, but the timer mechanic and save system really frustrated me and pit me off from finishing the game, hopefully they fix that and add co op and this game will be kick ass.
Awesome. I loved the first game. Best game to come out of Japan since.... uhm...... Lets say RE4 since i cant think of any other thas better or just as good. BTW Didn't they say that the 360 and PS3 edition will differ in some what or was that Lost Planet 2????? I think there was a story about them talking about something like that. I think i saw it over at GameSpot last week or was it here. If thats true then I would have to buy both versions :). Doesn't mather if its DR2 or LP2, if the versions differ then im buying both.
I'm surprised that Capcom would say anything about this game before RE5 is out. I imagine that's why they've held off on discussing it so far, and they should have held out longer.
They better follow up on the story and give us more stuff to do then just kill zombies! I don't want this game to turn into another mindless game like RE5. Also Frank West and Isabela need to be back!!!!!!

It would make sense that they wouldn't, but with all the rumors and everything lately, my guess is that they just decided it was better to have it announced than rumors flying around for the next couple months.
Does that mean Dead Rising the first will be released for PC sometime before this second game so that those PC people who missed the original, or just people who want to play it on the PC period, will be able to?
pause422 said "No idea if hes back in the game or not, but hes definitely not the protagonist anymore which kinda sucks. "
I don't know I got one of the bad endings in the first game so Frank not returning is going to make sense to me. Maybe he can be undead and a bossfight or something.
