Was that video skippy for anyone else? Other than that the shit made no sense.
Skippy or not, taking the MadWorld approach with this game is something I'm totally in love with.
And I'm still hoping for more integrated Capcom game goodness.
Maybe Viewtiful Joe's helmet/costume/watch this time?
Seriously?
Killing zombies for sport and profit in a future where zombies have become commonplace. Makes total sense to me.
And damnit, Jonathan, why do you insist on inserting your implications that the first Dead Rising wasn't great? There's a difference between a good game that's not your cup of tea and a bad game.
Holmes digs pretty boys CONFIRMED.
Harharhar
Hmm...really? I shit you not good sir I completely missed that.
I got the whole sport thing but totally missed the zombie thing. Bleh. I'll have to see more of this "zombie sport."
PETZ (People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies) are gonna be all over this shit. -_-
@ Xzyliac- Maybe I took some stuff for granted because I've been anticipating this game for so long. The first game ends with the implication that zombies have been outed to the public, and that more zombies are on the way.
The trailer reminds me off "Tokyo Zombies". I hope I can Jiu-Jiutsu some rotten asses.
(Note: I have not been following the game TOO closely.)
OHH! Dammit. I knew I should've attempted to finish that game before giving it back to my friend.
hopefully this is just the multiplayer section, and has nothing to do with the story.
