Dead Rising 2 - Case West

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero smashed Xbox Live sales records, being purchased over 300,000 times in its first week alone, with nearly 500,000 to date already. So it's no real surprise that Capcom have just announced another downloadable episode for Dead Rising during their TGS press conference.



Dead Rising 2: Case West, as the name suggests, will see DR2's Chuck Greene team up with DR1's Frank West. He's covered wars, you know. Case West will serve as an epilogue to Dead Rising 2, seeing the two protagonists unite for some "serious co-op action" as they delve deeper into the cause of the Fortune City outbreak and search for further links to the Willamette incident.

Capcom did tease the Greene/West co-op recently, with a blog post on their pretty hilarious Dead Rising 2 fansite, which is well worth a read.

It was also announced that Capcom have purchased Dead Rising 2's developer, the Canadian studio Blue Castle Games, after being so impressed with their work and how "Capcom" their work feels already, with Western flourishes.

No release date or price has been announced yet, but the game will obviously be release some time after Dead Rising 2, which is set for release on September 24th in Europe.

Nice find. I will be getting this when it comes out!

think i will be getting this, even thinking about buying dead rising 1 again and maxing it out

awesome, I'll definitely be getting this, I was hoping to see Frank return in some way.

This is now available to download and play for 800 points, follow me.

I'm in two minds about this, i picked up the 1st arcade game and am still yet to get anywhere in it..
Same goes with any Dead rising really heh i enjoy them, but get annoyed with myself at dying all the time from a lack of weapons as i have accidently triggered a boss (the mechanic caught me out for example in case zero, with a 2x4 and a lawn dart.. i didn't survive for long, and after drawing out my inevitable death i turned it off and ain't been back since..

I enjoyed Case Zero, but couldn't get into DR2. Might give the demo a download and see what it's like.

i played the first arade game and thought it was pretty good BUT i havent played dead rising 2 and this follows on the story so i got to wait, i wont follow the story seeing as i dont have a clue what happened in dead rising 1 lol
