The Dead have RISEN!.... A second time!

well as a posted previously I was "intrigued" by the screen-shots and teaser for the next dead rising game, but with the recently circulated trailer I am left with one thought; "dual wielded chainsaws, f*ck yeah!!", anyway here is the link , "y'all come back now, y'hear".

this blog is interrupted for a commercial break

Did you know, that the dead love iMerchandise as much as they hate the living...


Agh!! Indie zombies *grabs shotgun*, *blam, blam, blam*, now that we have that problem solved: my arrogant opinion. From the video you can surmise that the slightly campy humor from the first game will remain intact for this release rather than going the way of the analogue TV recept0r and the power glove. Also the new hero, Chuck Greene apparently has a daughter, which I suppose would give him a better reason to stick around than unlikeable action-photographer Frank West, also our new hero shows ingenuity of the same school of Bruce Campbell

Shown: Ingenuity of the highest order

The combat (from the trailer at least) appears to have been fine tuned and polished a bit, and from the articles attached I can imply that the Aiming which was the equivalent of a mentally retarded blind pacifist trying to get a head shot on the pope from a mile away, was improved. If they fix the flaws of the last game this could shape up to be one of those games that stays near my xbox for years upon years to come. But being a Japanese designed game they are liable just make a near exact copy of the previous game with little to no problem fixes.
