Like corpses reanimated by leaky, top secret government barrels of gas stored in the basement of a medical supply warehouse, the rumors of a Dead Rising sequel have once again risen from the grave.
This time they come courtesy of Electronic Gaming Monthy's Quartermann, who claims that Dead Rising 2 is being developed by an LA-based developer for multiple platforms. Whether this game will be out before or after the co-op Quartermann said the original Dead Rising was going to receive is unknown. Regardless of whether this is true or not, I'm sick of the Dead Rising sequel rumors -- just make it happen already, Capcom.
Quartermann also mentions that Ready at Dawn's upcoming PSP title, God of War: Chains of Olympus may also be headed to the PlayStation 2 (see also: Silent Hill: Origins, Secret Agent Clank, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Twisted Metal: Head-On). Other rumors include Everyday Shooter coming to the PSP, the inevitable unveiling of Sony's Ico sequel, and a Wii-like motion controller for the PS2.
If one and only one rumor were to be true, I'm crossing my fingers for a Dead Rising sequel (provided it's in the right hands). I already intend on playing Chains of Olympus on the PSP, Everyday Shooter just needs to get PSP remote play capabilities, and a Team Ico game is a no-brainer. But a PS2 motion controller? I can't think of a single drug that would make me think that's a good idea.

God I hope this is true..
Everyday Shooter with 1 analog stick would not really work..
The cremation scene with the guy on the left, btw, is one of my favorite scenes of any zombie film.
Agreed.
Fuck Yes. That would be a sweet setting.
The first paragraph is also a reference to that movie as well. Return of the Living Dead FTW.
You'll watch your tongues if you like this job!

LIKE THIS JOB!?!?

Well, Otis did escape at the end of Dead Rising...
With that said, if Dead Rising 2 does indeed happen I wonder if it is going to be set in an underground bunker involving the military hmm... Also I hope that it isn't being developed by another team as the chance for it sucking went up tremendously.
Are you mad, man?
What about this?

OH YA FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE
I take that back what I said earlier about Tarman. Boobs are the reason why Return of The Living Dead was great.
Dead rising had such awesome potential, but they somehow managed to make it really unfun for me. Horribly clunky controls(especially for firearms), unnecessary time limits, those fuckers in the jeep respawning after I spent half an hour killing them, goddamn escort missions with AI so dumb it was tangibly painful, the lack of voice acting for the NPCs(there wasn't even that much dialogue) and the most boring last boss ever(the tank). If they can fix it, dead rising 2 could be hella awesome. But I doubt they will.
Also, I tangibly gasped at the mere mention of the ico sequel. Want soooo much.
FANTASTIC!

New game by the Ico team. I would murder your mother for.
Althought I'd even take the original remade with additions like co-op, and some new missions. Imagine in co-op trying to rescue the insane 12-people at once with help this time. Your buddy clears the path and you run crowd control.
