Kay, after some investigation and some emails fired off this feels more like a genuine leak of a viral campaign for DR2 that was meant to kick off a little later..
So it's like a viral campaign... that has gone viral?
Somebody I know at the external PR agency of Capcom US. As I mentioned earlier in the past I've done interviews through them. An answer off external PR on something like this is always vague and uncertain, though, as they're just an external company hired by Capcom to do some of the horse work. The real, 100% certain answer lies with Capcom's internal people, but I don't have any direct lines from them, just office numbers.
And yeah, I guess, haha. But what I mean is I don't think it was meant to happen yet. It might be worth doing some research on some of the brand names featured in the video like the casino name and the name of the anti-zombie medicine shown... as those domains'll probably be registered by Capcom, and that'd be proof.
Fucking bought. Day 1. I don't even have to read reviews or look at anything other than the words "Dead Rising 2" and my wallet will open and credit cards will shoot out.
Fuck man... I don't know if I can stand up at the thought of Dead Rising 2 with online co-op. Please... PLEASE let it happen! I swear I will do anything CAPCOM asks!

I will actually rubberband cash around my junk and thrust it across the counter to pay for the game when it comes out.
Some things said in this trailer, like an unknown voice over combined with not much knowledge of Isabella, lead me to believe that this will either not star Frank or have some new character in addition to Frank.
I'm holding out for a journalist partner for Frank, which would work in with Co-op.

That Megaman shot looks remarkably like a piece out of the opening sequence of Dead Rising. Not definitively, but enough to make me entertain the idea that this actually is a fake.
At any rate, I'll be pissed if they get rid of Frank. I'll be double pissed if they ditch Frank and just stick in another journalist type. He's got the know-how, he's got the experience, and he's got the incentive. Why replace Frank at all when it worked so well the first time?
As for a wish list (aside from obvious fixes like Otis calls and better survivor AI), I'd have to say I demand a true infinite time mode. Also, customizable safehouses and real long-term rewards for saving people. Having an actual chunk of Las Vegas to tool around in would be awesome, too. I could put up with being stuck in casinos and stores for DR2, but I'd much rather be able to wander the zombie-ridden streets at my leisure. I suppose a semi-logical and partially sane story might not be bad idea, but I won't hold my breath waiting for it.

Haha, most hilarious and traumatizing mental image ever! But I'd do it too!
man, this thread has reminded me of how badly i need to get dead rising 1...but by the time i got a 360 it was a platinum hit..except everyone in canada still sold it at full price because canada fucking sucks, and there was no way I was paying full price for a plat-hit 20$ game, then it went from full price to unavailable from anywhere in canada instantly..fuck you canada.

half.com supposedly ships to Canada. You can buy it used for like $15 on there.
Wait, what's this about a drug? It was an insect in the first game. Unless I'm forgetting something vital.
That, or they're going the Final Fantasy route with this series and having them all not be story-linked. Let them cover the different zombie causes. Insects, voodoo, the T-virus (it is owned by Capcom), RAGE.

Maybe this time, the controls won't be fucking retarded.
While we may not be playing Frank West again, I swore I could've heard him in that video yelling about how the dead are rising again.
If you don't play as him, he probably will be an background character on various tv's ingame-movies depicting him as an crazy guy saying that zombies exist.
You know what just occoured to me that's going to make DR2 at least a million times better than DR1.
OTIS IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 :
He did escape on the helicopter, so maybe, just maybe you met him in Vegas. That and he survived the zombie madness there because of prior knowledge.
Damnit, i assumed in the full ending that all the survivors that you rescued had been rounded up and executed, hence going back to the empty control room and finding the zombie agent, it was a nihlistic kick in the balls that all of Franks efforts to save everybody had been utterly futile. But it was a comforting thought to think that Otis was stood up against a wall somewhere shouting out
"Don't put a black sack of my head and ask me if i have any final requests! Its Rude!"

It's not clear what happened to the majority of the survivors, and they might well have been quarantined and later eradicated, but you get an explicit response from Otis saying that he's snuck off.
I would rather have improved NPC, non-zombie and story interaction than more pointless weapons. That said, I wonder how big the game world will be.
you have no idea what dead rising is about
Consider who made that post
Are you really surprised?
Cloud, I don't think you could be a bigger, more pointless dick unless you had a really bad circumcision and had fat injected into your outer edges.
I don't need more stuff I can throw at zombies that does nothing, I never used anything after the first hour that wasn't a chainsaw. I want improved NPC characters and AI and its because I know Dead Rising that I know it needs that shit.

I love DR and this will be awesome no doubt.

it's to stop the zombification. Frank took it in Overtime, remember? It said it was invented by Isabella Keyes.
