According to the upcoming issue of Famitsu magazine (seen by Kotaku), the yellow jacket-wearing hero of Dead Rising 2 is named Chuck Greene.

As was the situation for Frank West in the first game, Chuck's zombie survival romp will be based on a 72-hour period in which he'll have to stay alive and do his best to rescue other survivors before they're eaten by the zombies.

The game's set several years after the zombie invasion of Willamette, in a time where the zombie virus has spread throughout the US. Players will get to explore the gambling paradise of Fortune City and will have a host of new in-game objects that can be used as deadly weapons against the zombies.

Dead Rising 2 is in development for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Different style of game to left for dead. L4D is awesome so wiping the floor would be more than difficult. But would still be good.

4 to 6 player co-op via online would wipe the floor against L4D.
