Capcom has released a brand new trailer for Dead Rising 2. It comes packed with Zombies, blood, death, chainsaws, and fruity drinks.
Not just content with releasing a new trailer, oh no, Capcom has lifted the embargo for news sites to discuss all of the goodness that is to come in Dead Rising 2. This includes a small bit of information on the game's often rumored multiplayer mode.
Here is Capcom's Keiji Inafune to confirm what we all had hoped would appear in Dead Rising 2.
We're not finished yet! Hit the jump to see what Kotaku has to say about the game itself. There are impressions and screen captures from the above video to be had after the break.<!--more-->
Kotaku gives us some of their impressions of a preview demonstration of the game in action. While they weren't able to have some hands-on time with the game, they did come away rather impressed.
Featuring technology that allows for over 7,000 undead to appear on the screen at once, gameplay that takes place in Vegas, and a newly confirmed online multiplayer mode, Dead Rising 2 is sure to appease fans of the original.
Dead Rising 2 is slated for release in 2010. It will be made available for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 platforms.

"We're at a point in game history that you need to have some form of multiplayer component in a game," Inafune told journalists at Captivate 09 in Monaco last week.
"Single-player alone is not going to cut it. So rest assured we are going to put multiplayer in the game, but I can't go into specifics about what type of multiplayer as that directly relates to some of the game systems that we don't want to talk about at this event. It will be online multiplayer, so keep that in mind."

Greene hops onto a dirt bike and guns it into the crowd of zombies, working his way up the crowded street. When he hits zombies they fly into the air. It's an amazing spectacle to witness: A man on a dirt bike parting a sea of zombies.
At the end of the street, Greene does some impressive donuts, sending more zombies into the air, and then turns and comes back down the street. The kill count is now 410.
"The user is going to have fun playing in this sandbox world," Brady says. Next he shows off a dirt bike with chainsaws duct-taped to its handlebars. Hopping on, Greene tears through the crowd, cutting zombies in half as he goes. Blood splatters on the screen.
There are now 7,000 zombies on the screen, the game and its new engine's max.
Greene drives through them at full speed, bodies and body parts fly everywhere, it's just absurd, a solid wall of zombies. He cuts through them as if they were grass. When he hits the clearing, the kill count is now at 1,646, and he's at level 22.
"This game is about more zombies that it has ever been before," Brady says.
