It's easy. just have an NPC on standby that can join the game when a friend wants to play. #deadrising2

Case in point, it sounds like this game will have a crafting mechanic, so maybe one NPC is really strong and carry lots of stuff but can't handle firearms and weapons well. Maybe another NPC is a mall guard and has higher firearm and endurance stats put sucks with melee weapons and health. And so on and so forth. #deadrising2

Or there could be an off duty cop you rescue.
I'm just getting the ideas flowing. :) #deadrising2

You know what feeling I like to have when I'm playing games - fun. Playing co-op is fun. I'll take that over any other emotion the developers are trying to make me feel by facing me with a horde of zombies and redic, over the top plots. "We really want you to feel a sense of foreboding terror while you are trying to unlock the Megabuster by driving over tens of thousands of zombies"
No thanks, I'll take co-op please.
Chances are there will be people in the room watching me play at some point anyway - they might as well pick up a controller and help out instead of yelling at me to use a specific weapon. #deadrising2

Then there's always the option of having a Free Roam mode where the players can just run around with no limits to where they can go. This way you could have 4 people playing the mini-games while however many others the game could allow for are out and about killing off zombies to their heart's content. #deadrising2

Dear Capcom,
Put Frank in as a selectable Co-Op partner.
Cheers,
Mentuss. #deadrising2

Will you keep your money?
Or
Will you go for what's in the box!?
Your answer could determine the fate of the world!
...or at least New Brunswick.

Hopefully the cash won could get us gimmick weapons, outfits and rides.
I'd like it if we could use the cash to take a group picture with the zombies. #deadrising2

People wanted casino. They got it.
People wanted more zombies. They got it.
People wanted multiplayer. They got it.
People wanted a sequel. They got it.
I remember people used to say "I don't care what it is, just get some form of multiplayer on Dead Rising." And after getting everything else they asked for you would think they would be happy. But they are not. They want this, they want that. Since people are getting what they want they are starting to behave like spoilt brats.
Why can't you these spoilt brats thank Capcom for the hard work, money and thought they put into this multiplayer mode?
Hard work for a game that won't even be appreciated by Japan. That's a lot for a Japanese company to do.
And what did you expect? A game which has a focus of "Killing-a-shit-loada-zombies" would obviously have a multiplayer game mode in that style. Co-Op would be nice but this doesn't mean Co-Op won't exist. This looks like some fun Zombie killing with friends. Including the awesome looking singleplayer, the first games creativity and achievements. This game is my game of the year.

There are those who aren't willing to make the purchase because they're not satisfied with the end product.
We can all politely ask, "Hey Capcom, would you mind adding a co-op mode in your game? I would really appreciate it, and will then purchase your game," but, that won't put any pressure on the gaming industry. Are we, the consumers, spoiled brats? Or are the manufacturers just rotten parents who neglect their kids?

on top of that, i'm not getting word of whether or not they got rid of the entire time mechanic which seriously crippled the first Dead Rising in that you didn't have time to explore the mall and rescue people. you had to follow that sweet path through the washroom vent in order to beat it on time to then unlock the sole premise of the game which was to freely roam and kill zombies, and i bet more than half of dead risers didn't get to the true ending to do that (including me). playing through the game once or twice is nice, but to do everything you had to beat that game maybe 4 times and that didn't help with awful survivor AI (climb the fucking ledge!).
please please PLEASE capcom, don't stick to stubborn design philosphies and at least make a mode that is an enjoyable, casual experience of being in vegas with 60,000 zombies, find weapons, find hidden stuff, do hilarious things, zombie strippers, all in the company of friends. that's what my and many brain-dead zombie enthusiasts' sick dreams are made of.
i wouldn't mind paying $5 for that mode! even if it was a scrapped concept but was still left on the disc! :3!!!!!!!

It also looks like the type of MP that will be almost completely devoid of other players within six months... :(

It really suits the game, I think, and I'm glad they're taking the risk.

I think the jacket is quite awesome as well.

Thats a bright yellow leather motorcycle jacket. Come on.
Unless you are currently located in the land of the rising run seeking vengeance against a small army of sword weilding thugs OR you actually race dirtbikes for a living, that is not really belong as a worn article of clothing.

You simply stated what it was and two situations where it would be especially practical for it to be worn.
