    Dead Rising 1 had some well thought out (if not fun) boss battles. The grocery store manager, the Nam vet having flashbacks in a hardware store, fat security guard doing, something to a group of females (possibly having to do with a night stick), a crazed clown dual wielding mini chainsaws (the best damned weapons in the game), etc.


    Anybody have any good ideas for boss battles in this Vegas (or Fortune City) themed game?
    I've had some thoughts:

    - weird kid in an arcade (with a backpack and a backwards cap, of course) who manipulates the machines around him to KILL YOU (he also does some Capcom game related moves.. like shooting a fireball made with hairspray and a lighter, or using a grappling gun to jump around and sneak attack you). (song: Galaxie Express by Cornelius)

    - 3 showgirls who set a theater on fire (you fight in the theater) and are wielding AK-47's . Also they can do flips and kicks (yes I went there).
    (song: Endless Journey by Pulley)

    - A Birthday magician (who apparently uses actual magic). Magic includes floating cards that are thrown at you, cutting you in half temporarily (keeping you stationary for a short amount of time), throwing rabbits and hats at you, and pulling you out of his hat (he proceeds to beat the living shit out of you). (song: Flashforward by Venetian Snares)

    - A Disgruntled Rock Star who has locked survivors inside of huge amplifiers and proceeded to play insane riffs (while it's turned up to 11 of course) causing them pain. Protagonist has to unlock the amplifiers and kill the Rock Star (who wields a huge guitar actually shaped like an axe). (song: Unsung by Helmet)

    - Angry hotel employee who has set up base at the top of the water slides. With his walkie-talkie, he spawns armor clad bellhops (of course, some of them have luggage carts filled with sharp items... you can use them as well) and unleashes them unto you. Basically you'll have to make your way to him (through the several pools and enemies) and kill him.
    (song: Jesus Christ Pose by Soundgarden)

    these are very unlikely.. but:
    - a guy (who likes to act rap, gangster, and so forth) who was on a bachelor party trip with friends (whom were killed). It's one long fight cutscene containing QTE's throughout. The dude's boombox is playing in the background the song "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock. This all takes place in the Hotel's buffet, and the man strangely sounds like Jeff Gerstmann.

    - Jimmy Buffet in a bar and grill called Margaritaville. He tries to kill you with parrots, his guitar, plates of scorching hot Cheese Fries, and glasses of margarita. 
    (Margaritaville by the man himself would be playing on loop the entire time)

    My ideas kind of suck haha. Anyone have any ideas or predictions (because mine obviously wont come to fruition)?

    EDIT: Others' ideas
    -An elvis impersonator driving a pink convertible (outdoors)
    -A prostitute high on acid, dual wielding broken beer bottles, chasing you on a dirtbike (also outdoors)

    OH YES genius man, I forgot that Elvis impersonators exist ahah
    (semi bump) hopefully more people will catch the thread and share some more.

    and addictedtopinescent, I'm open to more suggestions for the hooker with broken bottles on a dirtbike :P

    EDIT: Just for kicks I thought of the way that Elvis boss battle will end
    -Elvis crashes into a tree and flies into a conveniently located porta-potty. He vomits for a while, stands up, groggingly says "I need to take a shit" and tries to take a crap, but since his neck obviously snapped in the crash, his head is stuck facing up, causing him to choke on his own vomit, while his pants are down and he's trying to take a crap.

    The Rat Pack or at least 3 of the best Rat Pack impersonators.  That would be a great boss battle.

    Yeah actually. I saw him do this interview when he was talking about a magic trick that he saw in India I think it was and how much it impacted him.
     
    I'm a big fan of the duo actually. Saw them live when I was younger.

    If you've been to Vegas the only way to hail a cab is at a hotel where people stand in line. With that in mind, fake-Vegas-land Fortune City should have a psychopath cab driver who won't let off his fares because he stops for nothing. You have to chase him down with the chainsaw motorcycle and destroy his tires. Then you have to beat him to death because if this game is anything like Dead Rising it knows how to be absolutely brutal with boss encounters.

    Three escaped convicts that ride around a courtyard in a vehicle sporting a mounted turret on the back of it.  They'd constantly fuck up escort missions, blast shitty music, and respawn after an hour when killed.

    a dude named- TJ. he wears a dark jacket and a beanie. he is found in a store like hot topic. he has a woman held hostage, and says he will kill her if you do not bring him the supplies he wants. when you walk in he is about to kill the hostage. you barely stop him. he uses a handgun and a knife. after you defeat him he runs into a storage closet and locks him self in. 
     
    2nd encounter- you find him walking in a casino area laughing with a machine gun in his hands.he says he is looking for you. to get revenge for ruining his earlier plans. after you beat him he starts crying and you leave him there
