With the release of
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop and the promise of a full-blown sequel in 2010, here are some weapons I'd like to see in the next go 'round:
- Mall Cop Segway: They gave us shopping carts and cars (well, in the Xbox 360 version, anyway) – think of the fun you'll have mowing down the undead on a Segway! Assuming you can balance on the damn thing. Bonus points if you let me leave me one hand free to take out my trusty Daikatana and lay waste to whatever gets in my way.
- "Small" Popcorn Tub: Today's small is what we used to think of as "family-sized"--as in a family of 20 or so could share this tub and have leftovers. Why not build on the first game's plop-the-mask-on-the-zombie game and let us go to town with popcorn tubs? Better yet, let me fill it with hot faux butter oil before bucketing my prey. Could also be fun with some of the maniacs, if you can get that close. I smell achievement!
- Forever 21 Sales Clerk: They're tall. They're skinny. They wear pointy shoes. Why not just pick them up and go to town? It'll be like having a sword that squeals. And once they get tired of being swung around, we can just set them down and let them talk about Britney until the undead surrender or explode.
- Going Out of Business Sign: Let's face it--zombies don't have much use for an economic stimulus package or tax refund. Those going-out-of-business signs are going to be everywhere. They might not do a ton of damage, but they could at least get a good paper cut going. And just how strong is zombie flesh, anyway? Let's find out.
- Wiimotes: If they can kill a television set, they can take out the damned! Make it so.
Your move, Konami.
I would personally like to see old timey cartoon bombs. Or roller blades and a can of spray paint while funky music plays...
i like the ideas, though Forever 21 Sales Clerk would be hard to fit in the casino setting for the next game. Also think of all the fun possibilities a casino could hold. I would love to see a boss that to defeat you have to lure into Sigfried and Roy's tiger cage, or a crazed old lady deranged fearing youre going to take her lucky slot machine comes at you swinging buckets of nickles.
