Dead Rising 2 will not have photography. Capcomās Keiji Inafune was pretty clear about that when I spoke with him last week.
Thatās because the photography in the first Dead Rising was tied specifically to Frank West and his career as a photojournalist. Heās covered wars, you know?
Dead Rising 2? It stars Chuck Greene, a motocross champion, Inafune told me, that means that he will be ādamn goodā on the motorcycle and get it to do some pretty amazing things. But Inafune hinted that Greene wonāt just be about the motorcycle.
āBased on his personality and the different choices he made he will have different skills,ā Inafune said.
Like what? Too early to tell, but not too early to guess.
High on the list, I think, is the possibility that Greene will be able to make his own weapons, or at least customize them. Watching the trailer and sitting in on the presentation, I couldnāt help but notice that the chainsaws found in the game were often duct-taped to other things to crank up their killing power.

I also think, and perhaps this is entirely wishful thinking, that thereās a good chance that while photography wonāt be in the game, video will. Why not give Greene a helmet cam? And what about all of the security cameras you find in a casino? And all of those security camera shots we see in the trailer?
What better way to one-up the photography of Dead Rising then by adding videography to Dead Rising 2?
