Heads up, today is the day when all of the embargo on all of the coverage out of Capcom's CAPTIVATE event is up. Fortunately for you, someone has decided to break embargo early, so here we have a new and extended Dead Rising 2 trailer.
It's awesome, for sure. But it doesn't tell us too much about the game, which looks to essentially be the original Dead Rising with a new character (Chuck Greene) in a casino setting. Chuck beats zombies with a roulette table, a guitar, and rides a motorcycle with two chainsaws attached to it through a crowd of zombie. Also, he wears some kind of moose head. Awesome? We'd say so.
Fans of the first game will recognize some of the elements shown (like the zombie kill count and the sound effects), which should be comforting. But we'll have to wait until a little later today to get the finer details on Dead Rising 2, as those who attended CAPTIVATE will start to spill their guts.

I wonder if this game will let you play the guitar after killing a certain number of zombies with it, like Rock 'n' Roll Climber.
why hasnt anyone else thought of a motorcycle with chainsaws on the front yet? I love capcom
Never played the first one as I suck at video games. But this trailer got me pumped for DR2. I'll get the PC version so I can use chea... I mean, so I can play it completely fairly!!
That totally fucking cheered me up. I loves me some Chainsaw Dirtbike.
I love the first one, but Otis was fucking annoying. Please don't include an Otis-like character in the sequel, Capcom. Please.
I'm excited already.
That said, the moose head is my new favorite power-up. Genius.
Also, lol@MechaMonkey
I jizzed in my pants

The moose head thing is incredible and hilarious. Chuck may not have covered wars, but he's certainly the MacGyver of his time.
I want a staff with dual chainsaws in an all you can eat buffet line...then imagine myself eating bloody zombie bacon bits at the salad bar.
I want a dirt bike with chainsaws attached to the handlebars because that is the logical evolution from multicolored streamers.
I want this game.
