Never let machines do their work for you...

Here's the real deal:

To get it out of the way - multi-player co-op over Xbox Live for Dead Rising 2, Capcom, pleeeeeeeeease!


That said... OUENDAN 2 MAY 17?!? Holy crap I didn't expect it that soon. I was hoping maybe summer. Track list so far isn't bad, doesn't make me super excited, but isn't bad. Glad (but not surprised) to see mihimaru GT show up, but can't say I'm pleased with the song choice. Kaerouka would have been a very interesting choice, a bit different and unique, but if done right could really have worked. H.P.S.J. would also have been a good choice.

But seriously... SERIOUSLY... HALCALI. Make it happen. Ouendan 2 needs HALCALI. So many great possibilities that would fit in the game perfectly.

Weird. Any other info on this? Like who the developer is?

A Pokémon of filth and bad hygiene? I can dig it.

Dead Rising 2 (tentative title)
360, Capcom
Porting PS3 games to the 360 is strictly business, but no love for the other way around...?

OUCH. Maybe as more details become known...

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
I remember an EGM rumor that said MS paid Capcom to keep Dead Rising 2 exclusive so perhaphs it's at least time exclusive.

Lots of writing Lost Odyssey scan:


I hope we get a better one soon, can't see most of the new stuff.


FFT, P3:FES, and some crappy Spike game reviews from Dengeki PS.
 
wow what a week....

Ar Tonelico 2, Rune Factory 2, Ouendan 2 date, Dead Rising 2, Zelda DS in June, new training game...

Looks like a Nintendo blowout though, 90% of the news are for their consoles. I guess this is all going to be in the meeting today?

Are these the Dead Rising 2 news?
I don't see any DR2 announcement.
It is announced at the event he is speaking at... I guess you'll hear more tomorrow from the Capcom Gamer's Day :D

mabuza said:
if dead rising 2 is exclusive to 360, i wonder how capcom will explain themselves. that should be fun
I wonder what kind of explanation you want... "It's 360 exclusive because we're only making it for the 360." Would that suffice?
 
1. Kinda expected Phantom Hourglass out by Q3 Japan at latest, but hitting Q2 is really cool. But once again, I get to import the Japanese version, play it without knowing the intricate story details, and then have to wait several months to understand what the heck I just played (See: Importing The Wind Waker).

2. Wow, is that the new logo for Phantom Hourglass? Typically the Japanese logos for the portable games have never been the same in Zelda (LA, OoA, OoS, TMC all had major to slight alterations from the English versions). So I wonder if that will be the final look of the English logo (visuals, not text).

Dead Rising 2 must have the following:

1. Co-op: Online and Offline.

2. More of everything (more stores, more items, more sound effects, more zombies...)

3. Use the MT engine to its fullest potential

4. Mission Variety. Not just killing zombies all the time, but now, give the player more interesting and exciting tasks to perform. Example: Instead of "protect the girl and escort her before the time is up," have the player engage himself/herself in more compelling missions WITHOUT TIME RESTRICTIONS.

5. Strengthen the story even more to further incentivize completing the campaign.

I hope it's not in a mall again, personally. It'd be cool to have it in another setting, like a theme park or airport or something. I'm sure we'll find out soon. I totally agree with you about coop. It needs to be in there.

Maybe an entire zombie-infested town or something.

OH SNAP

I'm still trying to complete Ouendan on super hard but i cant finish the last 2 tracks before ready steady go and its driving me insane.

I was considering buying Dead Rising but if DR2 has co-op its a definate day 1 purchase
