Dead Rising 2 to Have Most Characters Ever

[dagens24]

One time Adam West talked into Christian Bale's line of sight. It was a sad day for the world.

An interesting side note - while writing this news post, I almost mistakenly called Frank West "Adam West." Upon reflection, a videogame featuring Adam West slaughtering zombies would potentially be the best game ever, no?

Yes. It would be the best game ever.

Let's hope this one isnt as frustratingly difficult as the first one.

But the first one was one of the easiest games i ever played.
DR2 also sounds awesome.

Or maybe play as Fred West, and when you're done slaughtering you have to bury them all under the floor boards...

 

[Simriel]

In Family Guy Adam West covers every grave with concrete, so he's already taken preventative action. Remember Kids when it comes to zombies prevention is the best cure.

On topic: if you have 6000 enemies attacking, then how are you going to kill them all?

With a crowbar.

DR2 also sounds awesome.

The idiot saving system and crappy A.I., not to mention the shitty aiming system, made it as easy as running teeth first into a brick wall.

Oh, you actually used the guns?! You poor bastard, Im so sorry. I suggest that you stop using guns halfway through the game and just use that clown guys mini chainsaw with those three (four?) magazines that make it last longer.
They respawn too so you can get as many as you can carry. Oh and give the friendly AI shotguns and uzis and they are a lot more useful, and they can defend themselves better, with infinite ammo!

I also hated the save system.

I wonder what the zombie killing achievement will be this time? I also wonder if having that many more zombies on screen might reduce the obviousness of spawns and make it possible to clean out some areas.

The guns were usable, they just take a lot of getting used to, really. By which I mean that using the movement stick to aim Frank and then snapping into the aim view to fire like a lemur on speed (popping out to turn again) was the only way you could really use them. Which is screwy.

I too missed out on the 360 edition of DR1.

Heres to hoping a PC port could deliver infinity billion zombies on screen at once.

Well, if you've got my rig, you'd be lucky to get the mall rhendered without the computer crashing.

My god, this game might possibly cause me to die of starvation.
I WANT IT SO BAD

 

[dalek sec]

Featuring Adam West slaughtering zombies would be awesome. Featuring Adam West partnered with Keifer Sutherland slaughtering zombies would be epic!

God yes, this is going to be friggin epic on so many levels.

 

[Inevitablefight]

Dead Rising 2 would be better if the main character owned a gun shop.

 

[Jharry5]

If the amount of zombies on the screen doesn't effect the frame rate, it could well be epic in all forms of the word. If its done right...

 

[cobrausn]

Dead Rising 2 would be better if the main character owned a gun shop.

Only if they make the guns useful, unlike the first one. Pistol shot to badguy? Small damage. Hit with hammer? Lots more.

Ugh.

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

That would be something for an xbox 360 game. Yet, having 6,000 moving little actors fighting and looking for blood has already been reached in games such as Medieval 2 and Empire. Get a high end system, max out the settings, take four to five armies with large units and take it all in.

Fight on a hill, zoom just right and 6,000 fighting troops are visible. From memory over 5,000 began to hit frame rate, but you could go higher in games such as this.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Ummm...can you kill all 6,000 at once? that would be awesome

 

[Eric_Autopsy]

Wow.

Will it be fun though?

a videogame featuring Adam West slaughtering zombies would potentially be the best game ever, no?

It would be the greatest game, of all time!

As long as Joel Schumacher stays away.

But I hear RRoDs.
