Much more exciting is the revelation of Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, an Xbox 360 exclusive playable episode, due shortly before the release of DR2.  From Capcom’s Unity Blog,  “This prologue will introduce main protagonist and former motocross champion Chuck Greene and provide a link between the original game and the events that await players in the gambling paradise of Fortune City.”

Capcom’s official press release also covered the weapon-combination system new to Dead Rising 2.

Dead Rising 2 is looking like a lot of fun, and Case Zero is exactly the kind of promotion I wish more developers would pursue.

Dead Rising 2 staggers on to PS3, Xbox 360, and PC August 31st in North America, September 3rd in Europe.

Dead Rising: Case Zero releases exclusively for Xbox 360 shortly before the release of Dead Rising 2.
