First one looked good, didnt play it cause im a PC guy. I wonder how the gameplay will shape up? Anyone played the first one? Was it fun to play? Will be playing on the PC with a 360 Pad when this one comes out.

Looking forward to this one, never gets boring smashing a shambling zombie across the chops with a bass or punting golf balls at them.

Although that motocross bike shouldnt be making the noise of a two stroke when its quite clearly been modeled on a four stroke motocross engine .... gets coat

The first one was good, but slightly odd.

Some of the controls were extremely poor. Like using any of the guns was a bit of a nightmare. It was enjoyable but as I say the game mechanics were a little on the odd side.

The gun controls will be better on the pc, i hope mele is just a button press.

'Snappy Dresser' = Moosehead lol

Don't like the fact that they got rid of Frank West though

I remember the original had some finicky saving system, that i remember not being fond of.

Agreed, the new guy looks even more generic.

Doesnt look anything special

Should be good if it's anything like the first one

Really was a great game to pick up and play for a short period of time.

Dead Rising was the only reason to own a x360 , superb mindless violent idiotic fun !!! glad they are releasing this on the PC

Double ended chainsaw looks prime! Really enjoyed the first one, and this looks just as good

I think I may be picking this one up, I almost got a 360 just for the original Dead Rising, and that trailer has definitely got my attention

I loved the idea of Dead Rising, but I had to sell it due to the lack of Auto-Save.. I CBA to go back and save every god damn time.

I've covered wars you know.

nin9abadga · 29 Apr 2009 at 12:09

it was one of the reason i bought a 360 (now sold) - really enjoyed it. i hope this one is as good (can't watch the trailer at work)

domthecondom · 29 Apr 2009 at 12:33

It's missions

But you are free to just do what you like basically.

The save system was one of the better things about the game. Stopped power gamers finishing and exhausting everything in one go. Most of the time missions would clash, so you would need to prioritise your goals.

Dead Rising featured possibly one of the best 'bosses' I've ever faced. I laughed so hard, that I died. CLEAN UP REGISTER...NO.6!!!!

It is my second fav 360 title as I enjoyed it so much and played it to the death. The humour was spot on, the bosses were really good and Capcom really came up with a spooky game. I just hope that Otis the Caretaker isn't in DR2...

Loved the first one, apart from "overtime mode" which was too console'D. One of the few current gen console games I enjoyed.
