Fact: putting on a horse mask and smashing a plant over a zombie’s head is great, wholesome fun.
Fail: E3 has come and gone (although ourcoverage continues!), and the words “dead” and “rising” weren’t uttered from Capcom’s figurative lips. Instead,a Wii portof the originalDead Risingwas introduced in Japan, and Capcom US ran like we were the undead when we mentioned the game.
But what of a bona fide sequel? Rumors have persisted for awhile now that a follow-up is in the works, with the development duties being handled by Western developer Blue Castle Games (The Bigs). NowGame Informeris reporting in the “Loose Talk” rumors section of their latest issue that “one of the words being used to describe [the sequel] is ‘episodic.'”
We’re unsure whether that means the game will be available in smaller chunks via downloadable content, or if the title will feature an “episodic” structure like Atari’s ill-fatedAlone in the Dark. Whatever the case, we’ll take it — whether it’s delivered in bloody chunks or not, our zombie slaughtering itch will not be scratched until the game is officially announced.
