Remember that crappy DR save system? DR2 will enhance it with multiple save slots, finally...

All zombie fans know the game called Dead Rising, but if you’re not familiar with it I’ll remind you a bit. Game takes place in the mall that is infested with thousands of flesh eating zombies and your only way to survive the zombie apocalypse is to kill them with literally anything that you can find in the mall. Yeah, Dead Rising was a fun game for zombie fans but there was one thing that was driving the players insane. Game was incredibly hard due to its save system.

Imagine yourself in a zombie-infested mall struggling for survival. You expect it to be hard, but developers have made it almost impossible. Why is that? Besides you have to fight with thousands of zombies and run for your bare life you are limited to only one save slot. So there’s no room for mistakes or second choices, you’ll will have to deal with the consequences. This was the one of the most frustrating things in the game but on the other hand, it gave the game its charm. It’s somewhat more realistic that way, and the game will make you literally fight for your survival. Some players hated it, some players loved it because it has provided a lot of tensions and realism.

As you know, Dead Rising 2 will take place in a brand new city based on Las Vegas and there will be another new feature that will involve the save system. So after single slot saving system from the previous game we’re finally getting multiple save slot system. First game was awesome, but seriously one save slot? It was harder than old Resident Evil and now it’s time for a change.

There won’t be auto saves or something like that, because that would just ruin the original concept of the game. New city, new weapons, new graphic engine, new main character and a new save system, what more can you ask from a Dead Rising 2?
