Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



First off, this footage of Dead Rising 2's single-player game play is over-the-shoulder cam footage. Sorry for that. That's how they make us do it. So while you get to see Dead Rising 2 in action, you have to see some of Nick Chester's shoulder and arm with it. That's how it goes, though. Try it in HD for a better look.

But where else will you see game footage set to such a rousing, uplifting musical score? Nick and I had this discussion before about how a "Proud to be an American" underscore can make any video fitting and patriotic. I placed my hand over my heart while editing this video. 

Things too look for:

  • Casino level introduction
  • chainsaw action
  • paddle saw action is better
  • guitar bashing again
  • 3rd person shooter gunplay
  • swordplay, where bodies slice clean in half
  • machinegun wheelchair FTW
This footage came from last week's debut of the game in Tokyo, Japan, where I was proud to be an American.

Playing it was good, but watching it with that music is amazing.

Nick, please tell me they changed the awful aiming from the first game. I mean, seriously, what game forces you to adjust your aim with the left joystick?

It's being made by a western dev (Blue Castle, based out of Vancouver woot!), so I'd imagine aiming is on the right stick.

I love acapella music! Also, Dead Rising 2 looks fantastic. I can't wait!

The barbershop quartet takes away all the shakiness in that video.

Shitty song. Totally badass video, though. That carnage is fap-worthy!

That soundtrack was inspired.

BTW, I like how the comment text says "keep it SFW!" after I just watched a video where a guy is using two chainsaws attached to a stick to release oceans of blood while "God bless the USA" plays in the background.

Destructoid loves irony, if nothing else.
