Dead Rising 2 – To have the most characters on the screen at once – ever
Izemeth Siddeek, Art Lead on Dead Rising 2’s main character said – “Dead Rising 2 deal[s] with the rendering of the greatest number of characters ever seen in a video game,”
His presentation focused on software called Mental Mill which allowed Blue Castle to efficiently render many characters in visually distinct ways. The software allows developers to present a large number of characters without losing graphical quality or frame rate.
Laura Scholl, product manager for Mental Mill, said that the Dead Rising 2 development team are preparing to have as many as 6000 characters on the screen.
By anyone’s standards that is a lot of Zombies, in-fact it would be fair to call it Zombie- licious but the question still remains; how do you know which one to shoot first?
