Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Delayed In Japan, Everywhere Else To Be Determined (Update)
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero has been delayed. It is indeed a sad thing. Currently the delay has been confirmed for just the Japanese release. Apparently the trial version of the game contained elements that were not appropriate for a trial. Possibly the trial had too much content and fun for a free run. The prequel to Dead Rising 2 was supposed to release tomorrow. Hopefully the issue doesn’t affect the western release of the game. Stay tuned for more info regarding the delay.
Update: Case Zero will still be arriving tomorrow in the US and Europe.

Parasite Eve On PSN, Sequel A Possibility
A recent interview with Square Enix’s Yoshinori Kitase, producer of The 3rd Birthday, might leave fans of the Parasite Eve franchise riled up. It seems that it’s very likely that we will see Parasite Eve 1 & 2 both available on PSN due to huge demand by fans. After hearing from Kitase, as well as Tetsuya Nomura, artist for The 3rd Birthday, it’s only a matter of time till we get a date. With Parasite Eve being such a horror classic, there is no reason why they won’t do it!
If that wasn’t enough to get your panties loose, then perhaps a next-gen Parasite Eve game will. If PSP release The 3rd Birthday is a success, then there is a chance that Kitase will consider bringing the Parasite Eve franchise to next-gen consoles.

Bring Back Outbreak Campaign Running Strong
It’s been a while since we mentioned the Bring Back Outbreak campaign. A lot of progress has been made since then. We were contacted by Graeme Arkell (aka Zombie_Professor from the Capcom forum) last night with an update on the campaign. Apparently our story greatly helped the cause. It’s great to see that we helped something go a bit farther. We want to help out as much as we can.
The campaign has been running strong, even the voice of Wesker is supporting! The community on Capcom’s forum has posted over 13,459 times, with and amazing 1,186,351 views. This cause is getting some big attention. We personally would LOVE to see Outbreak come back in some form. Sony could have them re-released as an HD collection, Capcom can ported them to the XBLA or PSN even. While a proper sequel is what would be preferred by most of the fans, they just really want to play the games again with online functionality in HD.
A direct contender to Left 4 Dead by the original zombie game creators, Capcom would be amazing. Left 4 Dead may have it’s own sense of tense gameplay when played on harder difficulties, but it doesn’t have that classic survival horror feel. No puzzles, no collecting, no fear. After the less than satisfying Resident Evil 5, the fans deserve a true multiplayer horror game in the vein of classic Resident Evil . The campaign now has its how site with wallpapers, fan art, and videos. Take a look and join the cause!
Dead Space 2 Gamescon Trailer and Screens
Damn Isaac you fast! Our engineer hero of Dead Space 2 can be seen doing some impressive high speed flying in space in the latest screens and trailer from Gamescon. We can certainly feel the adrenaline pumping action that will be in Dead Space 2. But do not fret readers, executive producer Steve Papoutsis has time and time again ensured us that the traditional survival horror feel will remain. We trust the guy. We truly can hardly wait for this game.
Youtube Glitch Catchup
For the past month or so Youtube decided to screw up on us. We couldn’t upload any video and therefor felt weird about posting stuff without an embedded video. Finally the issues are fixed, and we have several videos after the break that we weren’t able to show you until know. Of course we could have linked to other videos, but it’s an OCD thing, k? We have Dead Space 2, Dead Rising 2, and more videos after the break! more…
