If you’re looking for a change from “portraying Americans as trigger-happy psychos and America in general as a capitalistic madhouse,” Canada might not be the best choice.

Cmon now, you have to love this. Mindless slaughter of zombies, and with a best buddy to tag along and spew puns in time with your own.
“Watch out for that TREE!”
“He looks a little PAIL after that one!”
“I should AXE him how he’s feeling!”
“Your methods of analyzation are KATANASHING!”

I live for senseless violence and gameplay chock full of lousy puns! Bring it on I say!

This video for me brings up a very important point, why in all zombie media as no one ever thought that a steel ball cage wouldn’t be the greatest method to stop zombies eating you and still being able to get around. Think about it top zombie scientists!

This game could only be set in Vegas.

They should release it as a stand alone product. I’d buy it.

You’re all reading too much into the ridiculous trailer. The game itself has you in Las Vegas, not in some sort of bizzaro-thunderdome.

“One man and one thousand zombies enter! One of those things will leave!”

Also, since Dead Rising 2 will have over one thousand zombies on screen, runners would be inappropriate considering Dead Rising gave plenty of OTHER enemies to deal with.

And finally, this appears to be the exact level of stupid dumb fun carnage I wanted out of Wolfenstein. F*** YEAH TESTOSTERONE!

So, no one else is really turned off by the rather boring wrestling overtones of the trailer?
The antlers and chainsaw mounted on a motorbike were cool, but everything was meh. I don't think I would interested in playing the multiplayer if it was presented in that style.

American Gladiator meets Deer Hunter! How cool are those antlers?

Given that in this trailer we see about four seconds of actual gameplay, I’m saying that it’s a fun-looking concept for a multiplayer mode but we have no goddamn idea how it plays, and judging it based on this, other than on an aesthetic level, is just silly.

I am however hoping for a big Gladiators-style obstacle course, but with added zombies and plenty of opportunities to shove the competition into the waiting arms of a dozen undead bastards.

So, are you saying that the multiplayer mode in Dead Rising 2 is going to be as good as Quake 3 based on this trailer?

When I say depth and context I don’t necessarily mean story but some sort of thing that gives me a reason to care and some hint that the game has more going on that watching the kill animations play. Just a hint that something is going on under the surface at some level would be a start.

Most ‘serious multiplayer gamers’ I know still play Quake 3, which has all the narrative depth of a five-year-olds doodlings on a restaurant napkin. Seriously, are you expecting a plot in a multiplayer mode tacked onto a semi-comedy game about zombies?
