deadrising2 New Information on Dead Rising 2?

While Capcom has already announced that they are working on a sequel to the popular zombie action-fest, Dead Rising, they have yet to officially release any information on it. And of course, that means the rumors are flying and information is slowly leaking out. Folks over at The Gaming Life recently received an email from a source with a picture allegedly from the new game and a description of some of its new features:

“The environments for Dead Rising 2 look absolutely beautiful. They put a lot of effort and work into them. The zombies had not been added into the game yet, but the area looked even bigger then the original mall. The setting for it looks a lot like Las Vegas except somehow you are trapped only in a small section of the city with about 4 or 5 casinos, some restaurants, shopping areas and a lot of stores altogether. It looked very much like the strip in Las Vegas, but they didn’t show a whole lot to make an accurate portrayal. That an I know Resident Evil: Apocalypse is set there so I am unsure if they would go this route. All I can say for sure is that the setting was much bigger then the small town mall.”

In addition to the new setting, the developers are intending to add a co-op online mode, previously thought to be included in a Platinum edition fo the first game:

“Finally this game will have some aspect of multiplayer where users will be able to play a survivor and try to tough it out online with at least 4 players. With the first one Capcom knew that gamers wanted a multiplayer zombie game. However did not have the time to make it happen. This game they are listening to the gamer through the survey that was taken a while back.”

Rumours also indicate that a teaser trailer for the game may be shown at this year’s E3, so maybe we’ll get more details then.

    …That screenshot is from Rainbow 6 Vegas.

  2. M0d says:

    Fake….?

  3. Azrael says:

    Not necessarily fake, remember that ranbow six vegas is based on actual locales in las vegas (save for the “ordering” which was modified due to security rules) so it could be the same locale,

    Also I dont remember seeing that exact scene in rainbow six. As far as I remember the scene where the car was in an enclosed room with a huge glass ceiling (you could pull an attack by going through the windows), not an open space like the one seen here.

    This picture is from Rainbow Six Vegas; note the smoke in the doorway of the building to the right of the first palm tree closest to the camera view. Also take not of the grammar errors in the first quote. Aside from that, look down at the very bottom right-hand corner of the picture. RS:Vegas baby. Its all just to start circulating rumors about the game before Capcom has any say at all. Sadly, this may also mean that there may be no co-op mode…

  6. billllllly says:

    look its not fake it says dead rising on the cator stand

  7. Ssolrac says:

    It is fake, just look at the bottom right hand corner. You have to remember that Dead Rising isn’t an FPS, and also, why would they put Dead Rising on the stand ingame?

  8. Omfg says:

    It is fake.

    That “DEADRISING” on the cator card is a photoshop.

    Also, look in the bottom right corner. Its part of a gun from a FPS.

    It’s a Rainbow 6 Vegas Shot.

  9. sirmelancholia says:

    I’m a graphic designer and I see elements of the “Cloning stamp” from Photoshop in the right hand corner. It’s not difficult to throw the “DeadRising” text on that kiosk (sp?) in the background. Rainbow Six Vegas screenshot.

  10. Davidek says:

    Nope! It’s not Rainbow screnshot! Why?? Couse you can see the car that is in the “expo” in Vegas there isno car expo, the Dead Rising logo to the senter, if it is Vegas tell me where you find this location, with photoshop and a car expo?! SO IT’S NOT VEGAS, IT MAY BE DEAD RISING 2!

  11. Ssolrac says:

    This is a picture of Rainbow Six: Vegas. You would know that if you paid any attention while playing through the game, or if you actually took the time to read any of our posts.

    Remember the part where the family of 3 gets attacked by terrorists out in the open and you can help them? It was a smaller side thing, so you might not remember it if you dont remember this scene being in the game. I remember it so much because it took me a while to get past here.

  12. anthony says:

    diead rising kicks assss

  13. jeffrey says:

    this isn’t RS:6 vegas becuese in dead rising when he is looking at the infected kids on the computer one of the kids name is by the state of las vegas baby shake and bake! :mrgreen:

  14. L to the M says:

    that is freaking gangsta

  15. fuzz says:

    it might actually be real, because if you see on the bottom left hand corner it shows that actual logo of dead rising 2, which this is the first website that shows it the same

  16. fuzz says:

    also, note where the selling of food stand says deadrising

  17. havoc of smeg says:

    fake or not, the whole vegas idea sounds good. if they do set DR2 in vegas and resolve the problems of the original dead rising, could be a really great game.

  18. Andy says:

    is dead rising 2 gonna b on xbox live :?: :?:

  19. ASSD says:

    Its a fake because it would of bin in a game magazen that deadrising 2 is coming out.And that the words on the bottem left hand corner that says deadrising is to light but dedrising is the best game in the world

  20. AkSD says:

    it’s a fake because it would of bin in a magazen that deadrising2 is coming out.And that the words on the bottem left hand corner that says deadrising is is to light.But still deadrising is the best game in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. denter of things says:

    the only way to find out if its fake or real is to find out yourselves :shock:

  22. deadrisingplease says:

    if you think its real youre an idiot. It is from Rainbow 6. Its so easy to forge a pictue. you dont even need photo shop. you could change that pictue just with paint. Also you can tell its from Rainbow six because the graphic is terrible and fuzzy. Dead rising had the best graphics of any 360 game. It was so defined. this graphic is bad just like the rest of rainbow six. Dont get me wrong i pray for dead rising 2 but this just isnt a dead rising style.

  23. Dave says:

    Thats cause it aint finished yet! Of course it looks fuzzy. remember what D Rising looked like at the start? ugly. Now it looks stunning.

    Its more than likely some other game R6 vegas or Hitman Bloodmoney.

  24. Dave says:

    Its R6 just noticed the tip of the gun in the corner. FAKE.

  25. AJ says:

    It is a fake. It is from Rainbow Six Vegas. Hell, I have played enough of Rainbow Six Vegas to tell. Also, see the gun in the bottom right? P-90 from the looks of it. People will believe anything these days.

  26. jeff says:

    i have a question.. Now is the first dead rising multiplayer. becuz i havve platinum and i dont kno how to do multiplayer

  27. lolete_jotete says:

    Pokemon???????

  28. markus says:

  29. havoc of smeg says:

    @lolete_jotete

    huh!?

  30. undeadsauske says:

    yo that game dead rising 2……….looks so fucking cool have a question how does he get there? maybe using the tank?

  31. Ryan says:

    that is from Rainbow 6 Vegas, “DEADRISING” on the cator card is photoshop….. sorry

  32. duckboy says:

    1st rule of thumb….

    a game NEVER puts is title in the map…only edited pictures by others to start rumours like this EVER do such a thing.

    For example GTA had lots of references to OTHER games (some of which are not even theres lol) but did they ever write GTA anywhere in the game? NO

    so putting Dead Rising in a Dead Rising 2 map imo is NOT what designers do..

    FAKE

  33. Caleb Law says:

    What happened to Isabela at the end (overtime mode)? Did she escape with Frank? Are they dating now?

  34. master117 says:

    That is clearly not dead rising!I looked up RS.Vegas and on the pics i found this exact picture but without the deadrising stuff!And Capcom still says it isnt even working on dead rising!This isnt real!It IS A FAKE!

  35. master117 says:

    Also issabella might of died at the end.Anyways I think they would be more concentrated on the posible zombie outbreak than dating.And if you beat the true ending the world does find out about the outbreak so why doesnt the goverment realize everyone knows and to just find the orphans and put them in…like a facility or sumthing!

  36. master117 says:

    In other news the sun,once again rises today.

  37. ballin says:

    its a fake just look at the center of the picture where there is a grey rectangle you can obviously see the guy being cloned over and you can also see his boots at the bottum of the picture so there you have it RB6 vegas

  38. frank west says:

    i hope it is dead rising 2 coz dead rising rules
    and apparently gears of war 2 is coming out this year

  39. frank west says:
