A new video that just hit Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d87f8pqEsU8&eurl=) appears to be teasing a sequel to Capcom's Dawn of the Dead-styled horror game Dead Rising (X360). Capcom's plans for a sequel to the strong-selling Dead Rising were made a bit more clear last month when Mega Man creator Keiji Ifanue supposedly confirmed the game to Famitsu (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56970). Capcom UK later suggested that the key quote was mistranslated.
If legitimate, the video would appear to confirm that Dead Rising 2 will be set in Las Vegas, and will still include zombies. If legitimate.http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/57131

What do you guys think? I think it would be awesome to see another Dead Rising game, the first one was amazing! Don't really know how well it would work in a Casino though. Thoughts, speculation, and comments are all welcome.

I think it would be great in a casino.

I think for the most part it's because it was uploaded by some random guy who doesn't really have any known connections with Capcom, plus the video tags say "fake". Then again, like you said, there is what could be actual in-game footage. I don't know what to believe. I guess we'll know once Capcom actually says something.

I don't know how reliable vg247 is though.

This looks awesome. Hopefully it shows what happened to Frank and Isabella. (Yes I have completed Dead Rising and Overtime mode.)

[...]However, it was Laura Scholl, the Product Manager of mental mill, that made some of the largest bits of news out of the panel. Mentioning a conversation that she'd had with Siddeek about the use of the program, she stated that Siddeek confirmed that Dead Rising 2 will frequently track at least 800 separate clothing textures to provide the sense of unique zombies onscreen. What's more, thanks to the elements that Blue Castle are using from mental mill to quickly mass produce characters for the game engine, players could experience as many as 6000 characters onscreen during multiplayer sessions.

That last stat bears repeating for two separate reasons: first, there was no prior admission of multiplayer within Dead Rising 2, which will be a pleasant surprise for Dead Rising fans. Secondly, to face off against up to 6000 separate zombies at a time will definitely be a daunting, but thrilling prospect. Although no other details on multiplayer or the game were provided, it definitely was an exciting statement to hear. We contacted Capcom for comment, but did not receive any word as of publication of this news piece.

Amazing. Just thinking about going up against anywhere up too 6000 zombies, with a friend to-boot, is sheer awesomeness. Now all we need is a release date, which it has been announced that this, as well as Lost Planet 2, should be arriving next fiscal year (which for Capcom is anywhere from April 2009 - March 2010)
