How Capcom can learn from past mistakes and make Dead Rising 2 even better.

Slice through the competition while earning a high score.

Keep rolling along en route to squashing helpless zombies.

Chuck's got the perfect cure for that splitting headache.

Gore and more in this destruction derby of death.

Mow down zombies in style.

Chuck Greene's about to test his luck at the tables against some nasty zombies.

One of the best parts of the original Dead Rising was its huge variety of weapons. Thankfully, if this new round of Dead Rising 2 videos is any indication, the sequel will expand on that arsenal. Capcom has released four short videos, each showcasing a different weapon. We don't want to jump the gun here, as it were, but we think the pitchfork / shotgun combination -- embedded above -- just might exceed the awesomeness quotient set forth by the Lancer. Check out all the videos after the break. As an added bonus, we've also embedded the not off-screen version of the Terror is Reality trailer.

Filed under: Microsoft Xbox 360 Terror. Is. Reality. Don't believe us? Check out the new trailer, which we just witnessed (and caught on camera) at Capcom's Dead Rising 2 event in Tokyo. You don't want to miss Keiji Inafune's posh yellow jacket as he introduces the clip. The event is a junket unlike any other at Tokyo Game Show this year. Capcom (with the help of Microsoft) took over a restaurant/bar in Ebisu, promising free food and drinks to all attendees -- with the promise of a two-of-a-kind yellow jacket at stake for the person who wins tonight's Dead Rising 2 mutliplayer tournament. Yeah, multiplayer. Long hinted at, we finally had a chance to play the game's competitive multiplayer mode. It certainly wasn't what we were expecting. You take control of one of four participants in a zombie-ridden game show called "Terror Is Reality." Players will compete in four different minigames, each of which takes a different spin on Dead Rising's zombie-smashing gameplay.

In this biz it's all about the F-shot.

Go long. Go hard.

Give him the stick--don't give him the stick!

Swing the wheelchair like the deadly weapon it is.

So, you say you want a video game where you ride a mechanical bull?

This joint really has the loosest slots.

Hack and slash and gooey goodness rolled into one tidy gameplay.

He's handicapable.

The hamster ball just got real.

Click to embiggen Excuse us if we dedicate this entire post to one, single screenshot. A picture -- of gigantic metal death spikes protruding from Chuck's helmet in Dead Rising 2 -- is worth a thousand words, after all. Also, that bodysuit is pretty snazzy. Go on, take it all in ...See what we mean? Totally worth a post.
