Character Clarification is Needed

References to the previous game's characters should be explained as not everyone reading this page will know the previous game's characters by name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.173.125.183 (talk) 14:12, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a rumor

"A source close to Canadian developer Blue Castle Games has told Eurogamer that the studio is making a sequel to Dead Rising." That's not a rumor. That's a leak. JAF1970 (talk) 18:57, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Until there press release stating that DR 2 exist the article should be redirected. --SkyWalker (talk) 18:59, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Learn something about journalism. This is NOT a rumor - this is a leak from an undisclosed source to a prominent news site saying, "Yes, we're doing it." Leaks are news items on embargoed topics, rumors are speculation. There is no speculation here. You may Wikipedia:Requests for mediation JAF1970 (talk) 19:02, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So what?. The game is not confirmed by Capcom. There is not enough information for the article to exist. --SkyWalker (talk) 19:05, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the bloody time to request for mediation for a silly matter. --SkyWalker (talk) 19:06, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're wrong - Capcom did not deny it when asked point blank. They said "no comment". JAF1970 (talk) 19:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PS. Eurogamer did not title the article: "Blue Castle making Dead Rising 2?". They titled it "Blue Castle making Dead Rising 2" period. This is not a rumor, it's a leak. JAF1970 (talk) 19:09, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did not say they deny it. I said they have said nothing. "no comment" means nothing it is a usual term by them. --SkyWalker (talk) 19:16, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's bullshit JAF. It's a rumour, I know the blogging school of which states that "all leaks are facts", and that "we're all journalists now", might state otherwise, but it's wrong. An anonymous leak without any proof, and no confirmation from anyone, is a rumour. Regardless of whether it's true or not, it is not substantiated. And do you know why Capcom said "no comment"? It's because every single corporation will not respond to rumours. - hahnch e n 19:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eurogamer is a blog? The same people who run GamesIndustry.biz? I've been in video game journalism for over a decade, including Computer Games Magazine. Next, you'll tell me the Washington Post was blogging a rumor about the Watergate scandal. (laugh) I suggest you learn what news leak means. (Hint: Not a rumor) JAF1970 (talk) 19:56, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not, the blogging "I'm a journalist too" quote was directed at you, and was nothing to do with Eurogamer or Watergate. And yes, until confirmed, leaks are pure speculation. Deep Throat didn't prove anything, he led them in the right direction. Leaks happen every day, hedge funds "leak" information every day to send stock prices going the way they want them to. A leak went around lately about Sony merchandise being stopped in transit to Circuit City due to their lack of credit - http://kotaku.com/5073448/sony-merch-bound-for-circuit-city-makes-u+turn-%5Bupdated%5D . Only there's no proof and there are other more viable reasons.

You'll find that other sources have rightly reported this leak as a rumour, http://kotaku.com/5079300/someone-else-says-dead-rising-2-in-development-at-blue-castle, because an unnamed source can't exactly confirm a game, no matter what shitty blogs with no professional credentials might say. (laughs - I was going to hyper link the word "laughs" to gamestooge, but its on the spam blacklist, which is even funnier) - hahnch e n 20:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The funny thing is - leak is not rumor. Ask anyone in journalism, politics, etc. As for GameStooge, it's not supposed to be on blacklist, and they keep saying they'll repair it. The reason it's on there is due to a mistake. JAF1970 (talk) 18:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

JAF1970 wins this argument. 124.187.150.157 (talk) 07:46, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trailer

What does the it say in the Japanese text under the Dead Rising 2 in the trailer? Also, the name "Isabelle Heeds" is stressed as responsible for the virus. JAF1970 (talk) 18:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isabella -Keyes-, Carlito's sister from the first game.-75.130.171.0 (talk) 18:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhhh... hm. Not sure if it's enough to post as a "confirmed character", since they're only referring to her. JAF1970 (talk) 18:54, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No --- she discovered Zombrex. 58.164.65.225 (talk) 02:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Zombrex?

Ummm, saw this in the trailer, next to what seemed to be a wikipedia logo. Is this supposed to be a special deal between wiki and Capcom, or is it just a shortcut to this page? SSBBchamp (talk) 22:16, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping it would be a viral wiki page but I got rerouted here so it seems like it's a short cut-24.6.162.203 (talk) 02:35, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They just used it as an effect-- its real IN the game. 58.164.65.225 (talk) 02:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Survival Horror?!

Errr... why is this and DR1 put up as survival horror. Its extremely easy, and its not made for survival horror. Its made for humor. 58.164.65.225 (talk) 02:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Check the survival horror page. It fits. Yes, DR has a lot of humour in (I have to find that lawnmower), but you're fighting thousands of zombies with little ammo. Compare to Generic Shooter 3. Generic Shooter 3: Dukka-dukka-dukka DIE, YOU ZOMBIES! Dead Rising: Thwack-thwack-thwack ARGH BASEBALL BAT IS BROKEN RUN AWAY! That says it all really. --Thejadefalcon (talk) 09:24, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Er... you're really trying to survive by spitting fire onto zombies... Guns have no purpose as they are weak. But seriously... remove the horror bit... thats bulls***. Err and also I'm the same person, albeit different IP. The mall has lots of items, and basically you can kill an entire horde with melee attacks JUMP! KICK! Knocked third of horde away and killed a third of that.. NECK CRUSH! Jump! Human Whirlwind! Disembowel! KICK AGAIN THEN WHIRLWIND AGAIN! Done.60.228.40.54 (talk) 04:15, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And... also, they stopped being used (baseball bats) since people found the sword shop in North Plaza (unlimited supply), got the Real Mega Buster from Zombie Genocide, and err the mentioned above melee attacks and the chainsaws spawning at the ride in Wonderland Plaza (is that its name) once you have finished the Out of Control scoop... Also, books can be found which increase items lifespan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.187.150.157 (talk) 07:45, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I did use the bats even after I had the katana. I found them funny. They make a wonderful 'klonk' sound. The guns are useful if you use them correctly. If you have a good enough aim, you can just stop a horde in its track with the pistol. And 'Real Mega Buster'? What's that (I haven't had time to earn that achievement yet)? But still, waltz around in the Maintenence Tunnels with one pistol and tell me that's not survival horror. ... Maybe you're just playing it on Easy (does DR actually have difficulty levels? It's been too long since I've played it). --Thejadefalcon (talk) 11:18, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! You've hardly discovered anything! Mini chainsaws can cut a swath through the horde. There is no difficulty levels! Are you level ten? I'm lvl 50 - did you even remember what I was talking about melee attacks? RMB is mega man's weapon (you can find a false one with tennis ball projectiles) with 200 ammo and can down any boss in a few hits. Also, why would you 'waltz' around there with a pistol? You can't be trapped -- zombie ride basically propels all difficulty away. Also -- if you like funny sounds, then goto Paradise Plaza and goto the guitar shop -- there's V-wing guitars with funny sounds. And, also, with books most items will last another 24 hours (2 real hours). Additionally, you won't be able to go to Maintenance without noticing a bike or car there. You'll ram over zombies, Otis will inform you about a key, you'll go there, find a SMG spot, and go out again. Really, if you're underpowered you'll only go there again with the bomb-run -- if you got the key, you'll go out of the security room and go to the tunnel entrance in Paradise, and there's a white car there. Carlito has his truck and will chuck explosives at you, however the main point -- ITS NOT MANDATORY! Really, you choose to fail this case, get ending F, no achievements, or errr miss The Last Resort and you get a lower ending which still gives you 20 points etc so much to counter the falseness of Wikipedia 60.229.168.130 (talk) 10:10, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I'm level 48, but I can't remember. But I can't be bothered to get chainsaws et all if my current weapons are okay. I waltz around in the maintence halls as a test of skill. Get as many headshots as possible while totally surrounded. I rarely use Zombie Ride and the cars are boring. But still, this isn't the topic. Zombies equal horror. You have to survive. Glue the words together and you have a genre. --Thejadefalcon (talk) 14:02, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations you've just accepted a harsh counter -- Ok Half Life 2, Half Life Episode One Half Life Episode Two, Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, The Sims, etc they're survival horror. They have surviving (Sims has a fire that kills people) and Zombies, or undead, parasites etc. Also, just remember that Dead Rising is a humor game = no horror. Resident Evil may have been horror with humor (err... haven't played it yet hope it gets XBLA), but this is generally zombies with humor. Also, a skills test does not define a game's genre. Plus, horror survive and survive horror is not a genre... Capcom's Resident Evil 5's main battle is something you may argue to be Survival H, but its more like Intelligent Shooter where you conserve ammo on Veteran (that is, before you buy new weapons, get infinite ammo, etc). Now, back to the point -- your play style is more like Suicide Bash-em-up. 124.179.172.49 (talk) 03:37, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No seriously, this bullsh** needs to stop. BioShock? What the F***? Resident Evil 5?! Get a life. Seriously!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.172.49 (talk) 03:42, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DEVIL MAY CRY?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! DEVIL MAY CRY? "Splendid timing! You admins are just in time for the fireworks show! BOOM! *laugh*" -- Ricardo Irving WATCH —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.172.49 (talk) 03:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Looks like you need a time out. For a start, the BioShock article says this: “The game incorporates elements found in role-playing and survival horror games.” It has a citation. Do you want me to find a citation for Dead Rising as well? Well, I can't, but only because all the websites are blocked on this PC. Search 'Dead Rising survival horror' on Google. Everything I could see with only one exception (which seemed to be you) said it was a 'survival horror.' Survival horror is changing. Stop going berserk. --Thejadefalcon (talk) 13:09, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
