DO WANT! I wonder if it’s gonna be like another separate Arcade game with 12 achievements or if it’ll just be combined into Dead Rising 2?

Capcom are considering it a separate game. I'd go the same route as Case Zero.

Is it sad that Case Zero, and now this game, will be enough to sate my Dead Rising experience? I love the demo(s), and they have just enough zombie death to not warrant my purchasing the actual game.

Glad they announced another demo. Can't wait. ^_^

That is kinda sad as Case Zero, while amazing, is a tremendous tease (as it's supposed to be). You should be hyped for DR2, but then again if you're only into the zombie killin' then well, you're playing DR for the wrong reasons IMHO =P

That's what makes this pretty smart.

Instead of "DLC" add-ons that limit to a fraction of the existing audience, they get to dip into the larger pool and pull in anyone who's interested in a taste.

Could be the future path of "DLC" episodes...

Holy shit. Mr. West is back. :D

Also, it seems that Capcom doesn't want PS3 owners to play DR2 at all.

I really hope this content makes it's way on PS3 soon... I'm poor and can't afford an Xbox.

Yea 500k in what two weeks it's certainly looking like the future of DLC. An easy $2.5 million so far before the game is even released. If Capcom isn't making money off that there is something wrong.

Dammit, this game comes out on 2 other platforms and we get to miss out on like 6 hours of content. How does this benefit the consumer when it's already a multiplatform game?

ffs is there a law that prevents me from playing and enjoying 360 exclusives whilst not owning the console?

Or all those fans who want a complete Dead Rising 2 experience but don't own a 360.

I had no clue about this pre-TGS event, and I've been so busy lately that I forgot about TGS - excellent news, I have to wait before I play it since I'm not even back yet to have played Case Zero.

I'm guessing that this is where that pic of Frank and the new guy were shown from some days ago.

Excellent news, Capcom is really pushing the Dead Rising franchise, they weren't just talking out of their ass when they said that they wanted it to be bigger than Resident Evil.

Remember where the fans actually originated, where they played the original, and where it got its fame - DR2 isn't even out yet.

For once it's an exclusive that makes sense, since Frank West is from DR1 and the game was exclusive to 360. So if you consider it as fan service (even if I never understood why Frank was so loved), why not.
PS3 owners would have still appreciated it, though, but I wouldn't be surprised if sooner or later they get it on PSN too. Exclusives never last long on this generation (wasn't case zero supposed to be a PS3 exclusive to introduce gamers to the franchise ?)

Multi-console and gaming PC owners?

I was forced to buy Dead Rising 1 on the 360, but I want Dead Rising 2 for the PC (assuming the port isn't complete ass).

I can understand people who don't own the platform being upset because they want to play it but "fans" seems like the strangest label you could possibly pick for a userbase where the majority aren't even going to know who Frank West is.

Probably only timed exclusive anyway. Case Zero sold too well.

Man, Capcom pulling out all the stops, pursuing those additional revenue streams really aggressively. Substantial pre-release DLC instead of a regular demo, now substantial post-release DLC announced before the game even launches. It's like getting paid three times for the same product.

I like that a couple of days ago there was a thread where everyone complained about Frank West being in a thread title about Dead Rising 2 but then Capcom go and announce him anyway.

DLC that doesn't require the game for purchase might prove to be a better money-maker than using DLC as a means of keeping people from selling back the game.

Is it possible this is what those Capcom hints were referring to all along and he's not in DR2 itself?
