According to a new Japanese press release from Capcom, Dead Rising 2 will be shambling onto home consoles before 2010 is finished. The sequel to the successful zombie-splattering sandbox had been without a release window thus far. We were all pretty sure it'd drop this year though.
Capcom will also be working on a live action movie to tie-in with Dead Rising 2's release. Zombrex: Dead Rising Sun is what it shall be called, and that's more or less all we know about the bloody thing.
Looking forward to Dead Rising 2? Hoping they improve the save feature this time around, or are you one of those crazy people that liked it? Either way, the game should please fans. They've certainly waited long enough for a sequel.

Anyway, I can't wait for the sequel. If they keep the tongue-in-cheek satire from the original, it should be just as fun.
This would be huge news, had it not been obvious that it was getting pushed back.
Yes, I also think that's a little weird. I mean, the original game was great, and the new one seems even better, a little hype wouldn't be that bad.
Personally, I hope DR2 maintains the challenge, and doesn't go all easy to appease the masses.
If the game has branching paths, I just man up and leave it for another replay.
The only drawback in my opinion was if your savegame gets corrupted, but so far I haven't heard of any corrupt savegame issues with this game.
This is despite me picking up Chop Till you drop last night and being sick of it after 10 minutes.
Seriously? you can release a game that bad and because it's on the Wii it's OK?
Is this not common?
I find it kind of spoils the immersion to be loading other saves and jumping around in game time.
Count me the fuck IN.
Ditto.
