Dead Rising 2 will have improved difficulty curve, says Inafune

Capcom’s Keiji Inafune has revealed that zombie sequel Dead Rising 2 will feature an improved difficulty curve, though made it clear that parts of the game will get pretty tough and as a result players will need to call upon their mates to help them out.

Speaking to the chaps at Joystiq, Inafune touched on the original game, pointing out “it wasn’t the perfect difficulty curve and that there were some rough areas that you did kinda need to go on the internet in some cases.”

Dead Rising 2, however, “will be better balanced,” though Inafune further commented: “You’re going to need support network, whether it’s people on the internet or whether it’s a friend playing [online] co-op,” adding, “you’re going to need some kind of support because it is going to be a difficult game.”

Dead Rising 2 hits shops on August 31.
