Dead Rising 2 Aiming for 6000 Zombies On Screen!

Rock Raiyu · Mar 28, 2009

Woah, these people must be crazy if they manage to pull this off!

Dead Rising was great not for the sluggish controls, or the annoying mission structure, or Otis. It was great because it had a zombie horde. Well, Dead Rising 2 is looking to trump that.

Speaking at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Izmeth Siddeek, from developers Blue Castle Games, reckons that "Dead Rising 2? deal with the rendering of the greatest number of characters ever seen in a video game. Everything else needed to be subordinated to this requirement".

Big claim. No easy way of substantiating it, of course, but the product manager for the software that's helping Blue Castle add so many zombies to the game says that they are "preparing to have as many as 6000 characters on the screen".

6000? On-screen at once? Oh yes.

6000 is totally unrealistic.. and unnecessary.. I can't see how you can fit that much characters on the screen, most of them will be unreachable and totally useless anyway..

Fakie! · Mar 28, 2009

Man, that REALLY puts Dead Rising Wii to shame LOL.

Akoji · Mar 28, 2009

Well it's not useless, it's a great way to panic the gamer, and you know casinos are place that are wide open and really big and I think we saw some footage outside (in the video when he's in a hamster ball, which is a way to go through that many zombie without dieing.)

Mav180 · Mar 28, 2009

I'm wondering... Where do you find a hamster ball in a casino?

Ultratech87 · Mar 28, 2009

Better hope they give you a laser to blast through that massive mob...
6000 zombies on the screen almost sounds unrealistic.

Wow, that's incredible

I didn't know the 360 could do that.

raulpica · Mar 28, 2009

Awesome, I can't really wait for DR2 now

I guess this means we'll finally see some REAL open spaces and not just a mall park

Hillsy_ · Mar 28, 2009

This seems bogus to me. Dead Rising on the 360 had 100 zombies on screen. 6000 seems like wayyyyyyyyy over realistic to me. time will tell.

Santee · Mar 28, 2009

Heheh They said it couldn't be done they told me i was crazy the framerate would lag like like crazy but who's crazy now.

gov78 · Mar 29, 2009
