The latest Humble Bundle is another Capcom focused one, though this time around instead of fighting games being front and center its Zombies. While a $1 will get you three solid games (Strider, Devil May Cry, and Umbrella Corps), it's the 2nd tier at $7.27 where things start to get interesting.
The remastered versions of Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record will be hitting the PlayStation and Xbox store next month for the current gen consoles. The digital versions will be available prior to the retail disc versions, which will be available a little later.
With the big announcement that a fourth game is coming to the Xbox One and PC this holiday season, it seems only appropriate that the first two games would somehow find their way onto the current gen of consoles. First leaked over the weekend thanks to some PS4 trophy listings, Capcom released a statement to Eurogamer.com that Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record will all be coming to PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
As Microsoft's Games for Windows Live service retired, many titles that utilized it have become dormant for online multiplayer. Thankfully many companies are still supporting their games and going back and retrofitting Steamworks (Steam) support into them. Capcom is the latest to do this with three of their titles.
With only a week to go until Halloween time, now is the perfect time to dive into some scary games that go with the holiday very nicely. Starting tomorrow, the PlayStation Store is holding its “Sale of the Dead” event, providing tons of sweet discounts on both single player AND co-op games alike! PlayStation Plus members will be able to grab as much as 80% discounts on some of these games, so it’s most definitely worth looking into.
Oh Capcom, why do you do this to us? How much DLC can you put into the spin-off of a sequel? Dead Rising 2: Off the Record came out less than a month ago, and it's already received a few downloadable outfits for our favorite zombie fighting photojournalist, Frank West. These aren't just cosmetic accessories, each one includes some special abilities that improve upon Frank's already impressive survival skills. They also cost two bucks apiece.
Lethal ketchup and mustard! Do I need to say anything more? The Dead Rising franchise is no stranger to bizarre costumes and powers, but this new downloadable outfit for Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is delightfully ordinary. The Chef Skill pack let's fat Frank West dress up like your standard backyard BBQer. As usual, the new gear will grant Frank new abilities. He can kill a zombie with condiments, slice and dice the undead with new knife skills, or melt a face off with a red hot frying pan. Check out the video. Mmm. Smells like bacon. The Chef skill pack will run you $2 bucks, or 160 MSP.
Nice face, Frank. If you're sick of looking at Frank West's ugly mug and want to get your Tetsuo: Iron Man on, you're in luck. The Cyborg Skills Pack DLC was announced last week and is available NOW. It gives you a sleek T-800 look and some nice electric effects like that lightning guy had in Big Trouble in Little China. By the way, Frank is definitely probing a zombie at the end of the video. Awesome?
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record will be receiving some DLC this coming week. It makes protagonist Frank West a cyborg. No, really: it's called the Cyborg Skills Pack. Apparently being a cyborg increases your melee damage, adds electricity bonus damage to your normal attacks, and increases all electrical appliance effects and damage, because that's what the Cyborg Skills Pack does.
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record places us in the world-weary shoes of photojournalist and zombie slaying stud, Frank West. The original Dead Rising protagonist returns for a retelling of Fortune City’s undead disaster. Is this adventure worth a second look, or is it the same damn game from a year ago? Find out, in our Co-Op Review.
October is here and it is on! It's game time!. We have a healthy stable of new releases this week. There's a zombie game redux, a high flying sequel, a variety of downloadable titles, and there's even something for the kids. Is it just me, or do Frank West's hands look weird? He's got some monkey fingers.
Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, a weekly piece that talks about industry stories that may or may not be related to co-op gaming.
