Dead Rising 2: Case West - Release Date & Price

Dead Rising 2: Case West - Release Date & Price

Chuck and Frank, sitting in a tree...

Written by zigs00 on 13 December 10 at 18:14

Hot off the heels of their prestigious TA GOTY Award, Capcom have announced the release date and price for Dead Rising 2: Case West.

The game will be hitting the Marketplace on December 27th, priced at a higher 800 MSP.

As previously detailed, DR2:CW will see DR2's Chuck reuinite with war-covering photojournalist Frank West as the two of them infiltrate the Phenotrans Facility in an attempt to uncover the company's murky dealings, acting as an epilogue to DR2's narrative.

Playable both in online co-op and single player (with an AI partner), Case West introduces new weapon combos, new enemies and sees a return of the original game's photography element.

While there has been confusion about it, Capcom's official blog have confirmed that Case West is indeed a standalone XBLA game and you do not need to own Dead Rising 2 to play it.

Yay, the photography's back!

Ahem. I really missed the photography mechanic in DR2 and didn't really feel that the combo weapons filled the void.

Well, with it being a stand alone, I can definitely wait for the price to drop on this one.

Bleh, 10 bucks? I'll definitely wait for reviews on the content of this one. I love Dead Rising, but I'm not about to spend 800 MSP to kill zombies in a different location, there better be plenty of new moves, levels, weapons and whatnot.

And here comes the whiners about the increase in price. They were nice to let C0 go for 400 MSP and now that they're charging $5 more for a (what should be) better game you complain? Jesus, just be quiet. I'm disappointed it's 800 pts too but I'd gladly have paid 800 for case zero and I'll gladly pay 800 for this

A perfectly acceptable price, I would have been pissed if it was 1200

Anyways, I will also be passing on this game. IF it's anything like Case 0 then it will for sure not be worth $10.

Graphics are unchanged.

Anyway, why are they making another episode like this? Case zero was fine because it had a point, it was leading up to something, which is why everyone loved it. Probably not going to be worth 800 points considering i could go out and buy DR1 for $10 and have more of a game if i didnt already own it. They should just make however many they want to make and then release them on one of those XBLA discs

I'm shocked everyone's surprised on the price. This is exactly what most people figured it would be. Case Zero was nothing more than a cool demo whereas Case West is going to be more of a full-fledged game, with new moves, weapons, combo weapons, costumes, etc. Also, the graphics are now the same as Dead Rising 2, unlike Case Zero which were below the second game in quality. I'll gladly pay $10 for more Dead Rising. ^_^

More than willing to pay 800MSP for this. Online COOP should be fun.

I'm disappointed in peoples reaction to the price as well.... Case Zero was 5 dollars because it also served as the "demo" of the game... I am totally psyched for this and will be buying day one.

OMG have I got to pay for it?

Charging for games is just getting out of hand!

Everything should be free, and if it's not then I'm going to complain to the internet.

History note - 800MSP is approx £5.75. I remember buying a copy of 3-D Deathchase for the ZX Spectrum in 1983 for £5.99 and having to save for 4 months to buy it. http://www.zxspectrum.net/ - it's here under "Deathchase"

800's a more than reasonable price imo. I wasn't particularly impressed with DR2 so I may pass on this anyway but I'm very interested to see how sales compare with case zero.
