    You've got an extra month to stock up on Zombrex. 
    You've got an extra month to stock up on Zombrex. 
    Capcom issued the following statement shortly after midnight this morning.

    We are happy to confirm today that one of our most hotly anticipated titles of the Fall, Dead Rising 2, is set for release across North America on September 28, 2010. Sequel to the million plus seller, Dead Rising, and set in the gambling paradise of Fortune City, Dead Rising 2 introduces a new main character, Chuck Greene, and 1000’s of new zombies in this darkly comedic, no holds-barred action title.

    The game was previously set to release on 8/31. I'm happy to confirm today that I'm a little disappointed by this announcement.

    I agree, if it comes out better I'll be happy. But delays always do make me put on my sketchy hat and wonder if there are serious problems.

    Hopefully this means they want to polish it and not that the game is fucking terrible and they are attempting to fix it.

    Every time you turn around this game has been delayed again. Love the first game but I think Capcom has missed the window on this one. Not exactly interested anymore.

    Was suspicious of a delay since that E3 demo video when Ryan asked about the release date and wasn't given the date they had given previously. 

    Sucks, but if it means a better game then whatever, only a month delay anyway.

    Would've been better to come out in August. 
     
    I just took a look at my Gamefly list for the Sep/Oct/Nov games and it seems that I will be overloading with them....guess I'll have to delete a few and wait until Christmas to get them.

    @Green_Incarnate:  Yeah, hopefully they are using the extra month to completely remove the new protagonist, who looks about as interesting as a loaf of bread, and replacing him with Frank "I've Covered Wars, You Know" West.

    Considering I've been looking forward to this the most, I'm pretty annoyed.
     
    I hope Case Zero still comes out relatively soon to make up for it, otherwise... meh.

    They're probably using the feedback from E3 to fix any complaints people had to make it a better game. Delays are obviously disappointing but it shows they're committed to quality where so many developers would prefer to just get the game out the door to start making money.

    I'm really disappointed. This is very ironic though. I popped in Dead Rising in my Xbox 360 just last night in preparation for the game. I guess I'll have to play other thing until the game comes out.

    While I think it is a good thing that they delayed the game to make it better, I am also less likely to pick this up on release now. There wasn't anything coming out that interested me in August and I was bound to be starving for a game. Therefore I figured I would end up buying Dead Rising 2 day one. Now that it is coming after Reach and a little before Socom 4, Fable 3 and Fallout New Vegas I might wait since I will have plenty else to play. I still plan on getting it sooner or later.

    Well i guess they just killed the franchise. I mean think about it, late September, think of how many main stream, huge titles are being released around that time. this game is probably going to sell less thanks to this delay.

    This doesn't seem like a good thing.  Hopefully the extra time makes it better than Dark Void and Bionic Commando
