Dead Rising 2 Details
With every video game company releasing gobs and gobs of information at E3 there’s dozens of games to look at, but one title that has hardcore gamers excited is Dead Rising 2. The original had a compelling storyline that offered a lot of challenge balanced by a lot of fun using anything and everything on hand to dispatch hordes of slavering undead. We already knew that despite Frank West’s heroic attempts to stop the impending zombie apocalypse the outbreak wasn’t contained to the Midwestern town, with continued outbreaks of zombies across the USA.
One of the outbreaks strikes in Fortune City, essentially a fictionalized version of Las Vegas. The protagonist is Chuck Greene, former Motocross champion and single father who dotes on his daughter Katey. Since her mother is dead, this is likely to be the main plot hook of the game, with Greene working his way through the city in an attempt to rescue his daughter and then help her escape.
As before you’ll be utilizing anything and everything to slaughter your way through hordes of zombies, hordes that promise to be even greater than the original due to upgrades in the engine that’ll allow huge numbers of undead to be on the screen with very little frame drop.
