*Official Dead Rising 2 Thread*

[ATiC3]

Well... the wait is almost over. Dead Rising 2 releases September 28th (a Tuesday.. oddly enough..). I really enjoyed the first game, and when the prequel came out I was pumped! I was hoping Dead Rising 2 would be better than the first game and the prequel proved that!

It comes out on the 28th in the US? Yay, us Brits get it 4 days earlier!

I have it all preordered and I am greatly looking forward to it's arrival (which fortunately for me is usually a few days before release date on the website I use)

Having played Case Zero on my brothers Xbox it is a huge step up from the first game. The Ai of the survivors is so much better as is the aiming mechanic. I find it a lot harder to play through the first game now!

[ATiC3]

haha indeed I do have the 2nd one pre-ordered (the regular edition though.. i don't need all that fancy stuff that comes with the special edition.. I really only wanted it for the movie but they made it available on xbox live and I saw it all already.).

Hmm.. Yeah.. I did start playing the prequel.. I uh.. finished it the first day actually and I went to play Dead Rising 1 for a little bit within the next few days and there were so many fail/ moments, I couldn't believe it! I was sitting there LMFAO the whole time!

The new AI is definitely a step in the right direction, as well.. I'm so glad they fixed it because in DR1 (like i did playing the prequel, because I didnt know if they updated the AI or not) you have to look back every 5 seconds wondering "okay.. are they coming? ooohhh shitttt!!!" and you see them getting choked and stuff.. i was always like.. crap! !

yeh man that was the kicker in DR1. The survivor AI was crap. in some cool annoying way it raised the excitement level of intensity like an actual horror movie but jeezus it made u stop playin a bit. But then go back for more  

So i was kinda stunned as hell too that survivors were actually smart enough (When i rescued all the girls in the bowlin alley and quarantine together) To fight and get away and still keep up with me.

So this Game will be a Heavy hit when it drops on the 28th!!! I will be gettin my NO TAX copy from Chinatown

[ATiC3]

 

Indeed the game will be a hit! The awesomeness of the prequel guaranteed that.

man i loved when u had to get out of dodge on the bike with your daughter. That was crazy .

[ATiC3]

 

Indeed it was... I'm hoping the bike handling is going to be fixed for DR2, because the handling sucked in the prequel.. The experience was awesome, but I just hated those handling mechanics... oi...

yeh not gonna front on that. the mechanics were pretty stiff but i just winged it without fail. i think if concentrated on moving the bike i woulda flopped ...but hell yeh im gettin that next DLC with frank teaming with em also

[D.Magician(Ky)]

I've seen some of the ending's first hand some are ok but the one is really messed up. Its one of those I...Don't...Even moments.

[BigJ]

Pre ordered and paid for. Can't wait for the 28th.

I wish they would modify this engine for a Resident Evil game, DR is a horror zombie style comedy, but with the sheer ammount of zombies, if they beefed up the ai and made them tear through windows, they could have one hell of a survival horror game on their hands! Looking forward to dead rising 2! I've only played Case Zero and I haven't been this overwhelmed by zombies since RE Code Veronica... These zombies were everywhere and they know how to gang up on you.

Yeh i played and ended Code Veronica Painfully when it first came out for Dreamcast. i think that was the Hardest RE game in my opinion. once those two hunters ganged up on you it was over . One slashes you to poison you to make you limp then the other jumps for that finishing fatal head slap....annoyin b@stards

My worst enemy in DR was the stupid @ss survivors . But it seems DR2 case zero hints Capcom stepped their game up on the Survivor AI

[ATiC3]

Actually for me, the hardest parts of DR2 were the Clown and the sniper enemies.. omg.. I just wanted to shove a chainsaw up that clown's @$$! He annoyed the crap outta me.. and the fact that you had to wait for a mall security guard/police officer zombie to show up to get a gun was ridiculous.. you'd think that clown would be insane enough to put some guns somewhere you could get to...

You mean DR1? ,,,,yeh i saw the type o with "DR2" you put ...
Sh*t if the the Clown in DR1 came back in DR2 though as a Freaked out zombie id be like 

and hell yeh i agree with u on the security guard. But yo dont front that was like a breath of fresh air finally opening up a nice passage way so you dont have to go outside and deal with the RESPAWNING crazy prisoners in that d@mn jeep ...

The part i hated going through tho with survivors was that way to the Gun shop omg man

That game always had me edged up concentrating and a bit nervous cuz not only im trying to race against the clock to open the cases but i had to worry about the dumb @ss survivors gettin caught

[ATiC3]

Woops.. I'm so used to typing DR2.. yea I meant DR1.. haha!

Also, the escapees outside in that truck.. it was VERY VERY HARD to save that one girl... and dude if I remember correctly... I think there were 2 out there... but uh.. yea.. I was like WTF all the time! ... and the fact that they respawned was bogus! I was glad they went away when the military came. They should've been like the bosses in the other parts of the game.. you beat them, they go away.. I dont understand why it was so hard for Capcom to do that you know..

[TomBewley]

My copy got dispatched earlier on today so hopefully I'll be getting it tomorrow

speakin of songs. yo That track thats rockin while you are fighting the psycho in the junkyard in DR2 case zero is bad@ss! i really like that one . when the vocals kick its even hotter. I like that one just as much as the Clowns theme in DR1

[TomBewley]

Got the game yesterday. Been playing it a heck of a lot and all I can say is 

[ATiC3]

DAM YOU!!!!!

 

I wanna play it already!

BTW if anyone's wondering about the 2 songs from Case Zero.. they're by Celldweller... Celldweller is the one who made the switchback song and actually consists of only 1 band member (while not touring)...
