Dead Rising 2 information (via Kotaku) April 28, 2009
Posted by xerocube in : Action, Adventure , trackbackApparently, I am hungering for more Dead Rising 2 information. Here is a snippet from Kotaku’s impressions of the game.
Kotaku – Dead Rising 2: 7,000 Zombies and Plenty of Chainsaws – dead rising 2
The original Dead Rising may have been a technological breakthrough, a wonder of body count and open-world exploration, but what really sold it for me, and for many, was the game’s heart.It had personality, most of it packed into gruff photojournalist lead Frank West. So when the curtain was raised on Dead Rising 2 last week, I was hoping for a glimpse at the game’s soul. What we got instead was a detailed run through of its engine.
Dead Rising 2 wasn’t built on the shambling corpse of Dead Rising, instead Canadian developers Blue Castle started from scratch creating a new engine written specifically for the new game.
“What we are showing you today is something completely new,” said Dan Brady, CEO of Blue Castle Games. “It is not based on the engine used in Dead Rising one, this is a completely unique and original engine written specifically for Dead Rising 2.”
This article talks more about the technology of the game, so don’t expect much about the plot. But it is still an interesting read.
