Dead Rising 2 Has Multiplayer
Clearing confusions, rumors and the like, Capcom officially confirmed that Dead Rising 2 has online multiplayer.
"Rest assured we are going to put multiplayer in the game," said Capcom development head Keiji Inafune during a recent press event. "I can’t go into specifics about what type of multiplayer as that directly relates to some of the game systems that we don’t want to talk about at this event. It will be online multiplayer."
He noted that “single-player alone is not going to cut it,” adding that “we’re at a point in game history that you need to have some form of multiplayer component in a game.”
In development at Blue Castle, the zombie-killing simulation lets players take out zombies using guitars, animal heads and whatever they can find near their hands. It’s due out sometime next year on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
