Capcom JP's girls in bikinis playing Dead Rising 2 OTR photo

Capcom, I'm confused. You could have gave us actual game footage, or in-depth analysis of gameplay, or even just a features list, but instead you give us idols in bikinis playing your game, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. Are these your game specialists for the demos? Was it particularly hot that day at Capcom HQ? Am I missing something?

I watched both videos twice to make sure I wasn't missing...any important game details. This is my job, you know. But I didn't find any game news interspersed between zoomed in footage of a girl bouncing on a balance ball while squealing at a television. I'm confused at your focus here, Capcom. There were actually sections of your 10 minute promo videos that only showed tight shots of body parts of the game player, and nothing of the game being promoted. Why would you do that? 

Maybe I missed something. I guess I'll have to watch again.

Very interesting way to promote a videogame! You're really breaking new ground with this one, Capcom; I applaud your bravery!

Dale it's clearly a very well crafted metaphor and a reflection on the state of today's society and how video games affect it. *DUH*

I find this far more entertaining than the actual game.

They are obviously trying to appeal to my boner.

It's not working.

And that's why everyone thinks Japan is creepy and perverted. Can't argue with that.

It's cool that they hired models who know how to play games. The girl in the blue did the old "use the palm of your hand to flick the controller back and forth during a quick time event" trick. In order for someone to know about that they would have had to played a few videogames here and there.

The head of the first one on the body of the second one.

If you want me to buy your game, Capcom, you'll find a way...

@Mr Andy Dixon

I might be wrong, and being lazy because I'm not checking, but Capcom promoted the release of the main Dead Rising 2 game like this, last year.

Its just not a really new or ground breaking way to do it, but that doesn't stop it from being super effective. Its not to knock the choice however, since I'm sure nothing advertises a game better then a raging boner.
