GDC ‘09: Dead Rising 2 – 6000 Zombies On-Screen

Any fan of the first Dead Rising would know that it was great, but not because of its controls, or even Otis. But, because it featured a huge zombie horde on-screen at the same time.

And following in the foot steps of the first game, the sequel promises to feature a even bigger zombie horde on-screen.

When speaking at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Izmeth Siddeek, who is a developer from Blue Castle Games, revealed that, “Dead Rising 2′ deal[s] with the rendering of the greatest number of characters ever seen in a video game. Everything else needed to be subordinated to this requirement”.

Easily said, am I right? When he continue talking about the game, he revealed that they are “preparing to have as many as 6000 characters on the screen”.
