Dante Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 A source close to Canadian developer Blue Castle Games has told Eurogamer that the studio is making a sequel to Dead Rising. Rumours that the Vancouver-based outfit was working on the zombie project first emerged last year, but neither the developer nor publisher Capcom has confirmed anything on the record. But while Eurogamer was on a secret mission in Vancouver last week, we were told by a source familiar with the project that Capcom has indeed farmed out development to the Western team. The source said: "Everyone's really excited; the team has obviously seen the rumours and it's been hard to keep quiet, but they can't wait to show off the game." Unfortunately, they wouldn't give us any details on the title or when we're likely to see it. Boo. Blue Castle has so far released two baseball titles with 2K Games, including The Bigs, and announced MLB Front Office Manager earlier this month. The company describes itself on its website as "a full-service, multi-project and multi-platform 3rd party developer located in Vancouver, Canada", where: "We are well underway on three new projects - an unannounced Action title and two Sports titles one of which was just announced." Our source confirmed that the action title is a sequel to the deliciously enjoyable zombie romp, which released on 360 in 2006. The studio is currently hiring for its action project, with one job listing stating: "It's getting around - there is something amazing being built here at Blue Castle behind locked doors." A spokesperson for Capcom Europe refused to comment on the matter. www.eurogamer.net
jayseven Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Well with the corrections they made to teh Wii version, I'd say this is surely a good thing
Mundi Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 This has to have co-op! It´s been a dream of mine to be able to run with a big ass saw between me and a friend with gory chaos ensuing.
Daft Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 It'd be nice if they made it so you could aim.
Guest Jordan Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 http://kotaku.com/5148320/could-this-be-dead-rising-2 Looks fucking legit to me...
Dyson Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Was just about to post the same topic Looks legit to me. Vegas baby, woo!
Dante Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 looks fake to me also we have dead rising 2 topic.
Guest Jordan Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Why bump a thread from last year? Also, this looks far too convincing to not be real.
Dante Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 the youtube tagline say it is fake, it has paradise plaza street name and youtube user comment says he has saw this before as a year old fan made trailer.
Daft Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Where did the hamster ball come from then? Was that in DR1?
Ganepark32 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Yeh, looks pretty convincing to me. It's been rumoured for far too long and with Capcom porting, albeit badly, the first one to the Wii it looks like they want to continue/expand the series into something bigger so it seems more than likely that this is legit.
Dante Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 It has clip of crackdown at 34secs with wang building in the background. Tags: dead rising leak trailer gameplay ftp footage cam shot fake ps3 xbox 360 wii PSP PC shooter zombie.
Ganepark32 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 ^ there's a black screen at 34secs so don't know how you're seeing Crackdown in there.
Daft Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 It has clip of crackdown at 34secs with wang building in the background. Yeah, that could be a Wang Building... or it could be a massive blur.
Dante Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Dante, Personal Thread Protector i was trying to help but if people this real it cant be helped.
Daft Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 http://kotaku.com/5149262/translating-the-dead-rising-2-trailer Last Friday, viral trailer from Capcom popped up online. Some believe it's the Dead Rising 2 trailer. By "some," we mean "all." Throughout, Japanese quickly flashes on the screen. What does it mean, though?
Dante Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 I was wrong. THE DEAD WALK AGAIN AS CAPCOM CONFIRMS DEAD RISING TM 2 Sequel to 1.5 million-plus seller announced for multiple gaming platforms Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today confirmed that Dead Rising™ 2 is in development for three different gaming platforms: the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Sony Computer Entertainment’s PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) and the PC. The sequel to the 1.5 million-plus selling Dead Rising™, Dead Rising 2 will take the franchise to a new level of zombie-killing fun with tens of thousands of zombies, the all new gambling paradise of Fortune City to explore and conquer plus a host of new in-game objects that can all be used as deadly weapons to stave off the zombie assault. Dead Rising 2 is set several years after the infamous zombie invasion of Willamette. Unfortunately, the zombie virus was not contained at the conclusion of Dead Rising, spreading unchecked throughout the United States and Dead Rising 2 depicts a country where zombie outbreaks continue to strike.
