Dead Rising 2 to have Multiplayer!

[Rock Raiyu]

More details have surfaced with regards to that "6000 zombies" claim that came out of a Dead Rising 2 talk at the Game Developers Conference last week.

Firstly, that 6000 figure has a caveat. It's how many will be rendered in multiplayer. The multiplayer that has yet to be officially announced by Capcom, and which until now we'd only dreamed about. Since it was a slip of the tongue and not an official proclamation, there were no further details.

And secondly, that the game will feature "at least 800 separate clothing textures", to cut down on that "oh, there's seven of the same dead guy on the screen at once" feeling. Like, for example, the seven "flannel & hardhat" guys you can see in the above pic.

Update #1: Multiplayer isn't confirmed, but there is still hope as they never denied Multiplayer.

Wrong, they said she said multiplatform not multiplayer. They never denied that there will not be Multiplayer, there's hope in the future.

I think that 6000 zombies on the screen is pushing it a bit far more like 600 seems feasible without slowdown ....otherwise its just going to be a tin of sardines scenario on screen! ...

As this games supposed to be comming out on PS3 too no doubt it will be pushed to its best on PS3 with the PS3 being the more powerful console with the System Floating Point Performance being DOUBLE that of the 360

the EXTRA Bluray storage here also on PS3 will be an ADDED incentive for them to push it a bit more no doubt ...over the 360's pretty stretched to capacity Dual Layer disk scheme that's going to limit this and other game developments in the long run or span it over several disks

Sony have already stated they will have MULTI PLAYER/MULTIPLE ONLINE logins on the same console comming very soon ...no doubt in the eagerly awaited 2.70 update for games like this and others to such as Resistance 2 being one of the first to have this function
