Keiji Inafune has been talking a bunch recently and along with his recent comments on the possible announcement of Resident Evil 6 soon, he told 3DJuegos that they are going to give the next DMC game a "western touch" to attract customers from the western markets, mainly the US and UK. On Dead Rising Inafune made a rather bold comment about the goal being to make Dead Rising Capcom's leading IP in Resident Evil's place. He went on to say that the future of the franchise and it's spin off's will depend on Dead Rising 2's sales.

During a Dead Rising 2 promotional trip to Spain Capcom's Keiji Inafune commented on the success of Resident Evil 5 and made an interesting point regarding Capcom's will to release the next game as rapidly as possible. He ends by saying that they may have some news "soon". Soon could very well be TGS 2010 being held in Japan from September 16th to 19th.

Xbox 360 owners rejoice and get your 400 MS points ready for some Zombie action!

Note: Only the New Zealand Marketplace seems to've been updated, but I could easily log in with my EU/NO account and buy it and add it to my queue:

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero - Trial Version (Free)
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero - Full Version (400 MS Points)

I'll update the links to global ones as soon as it appears on various local marketplaces too. It's Zombie Killin' Time!

Capcom Japan have announced that the Dead Rising 2 prequel "Case Zero" will not make it's scheduled August 31st release date, in Japan at least for now. No word on whether this delay applies to the other territories as well but we'll update as soon as some official confirmation is revealed. The reason for delay was given as inappropriate content in a trial version of the game, or something along those lines. No revised release date has been announced so far.

*** Update ***

A french gaming website Jeux-Actu contacted Capcom and received confirmation that the delay is only for the Japanese version of the game, the US and European versions will still make their scheduled 31st August release.

Dead Rising 2 is little over a month from release now and the PC specs required to play the game have been revealed, they're pretty modest considering modern PC's. The game will not have DirectX 11 support since this is not an MT Framework game. Most important however is that the PC version will be priced 39.99$, that's 20 dollars cheaper than it's console counterpart. All versions of the game release simultaneously on the 28th of September in North America.

Full specs listed after the jump.
