Capcom has announced Dead Rising 2, confirming the game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC platforms.

 

The more zombie games, the better.
Is the first one on PC also?

 

I wanted the first one to come to PC - my colleagues are trying so hard to convince me to buy a 360 for Street Fighter IV but as that is coming to PC, and hopefully Resident Evil 5 will be as well, and now this - I honestly don't see any need....

 

Yeah what ever happend to the first ones pc release.... Although i look forward to the second i quite liked the idea of the shopping centre attack.

 

Awesome!!!!

 

Dead Rising would of been awesome, but please for the love of god fix the controls! especially the ranged controls. Oh and the save system too, and item degradation has never been good in any game is been in. Other than that, sweet!

 

Yay for PS3 release!!

 

Come on!!! it has a pc port!!!!!!!

 

Very cool. I actually didn't mind the weapons degrading, but they did take it a little far. It did give another dynamic to the game other than "get your favorite weapon, slaughter zombies entire game with said weapon".

The thing I didn't like about the first was the way you had to sit and play the game over and over again to get strong enough/high enough level to be able to take out the next objective. As much as I love bashing zombie brains, I don't feel like doing the same story arc over and over again, simply because you need to be at a certain strength and health to make it through an encounter, or be extremely lucky. Having stats and everything random when you leveled made that even more frustrating in some cases.

Killing a horde in a corridor and then turning around and having more pop right in was frustrating to. They should have to trickle back in through a spot left un-barricaded, or a broken window, or a door. Not just magically appear behind you after you've already cleared out that section three times.

Good game though, and good times, just hope they address some of the issues with the new one.

 

Not bad for the first try I was happy they went with the traditional zombie and the classic zombie filled mall battleground.

 

The first time playing it, I just ran around and slept in the security room.
