3000 zombies on screen is enough for Dead Rising 2
Too many zombies spoil the fun
Capcom has been talking a bit about the development of Dead Rising 2.
The game's producer Shin Ohara has told Gamasutra that they have s3ettled on an upper limit for the amount of zombies that will appear on the screen and that limit is around 3000.
Ohara said: "Last year at Captivate we did a demo. We had a strip -- It was probably like 10 meters wide and 200 meters long. We filled it with about 7,000 zombies."
He continues: "After about 3,000, you can't really tell the difference because it fills up the screen anyway. Over 3,000, it ruins the experience. It's not a game anymore."
He concluded: "If the game only shows about 500 zombies or 1,000 zombies, that's not the game's limit. We have just enough so that people have fun with the zombies and the gameplay is rewarding."
