I would personally increase the re-spawn rate to ensure that even if the horde isn't large, it's not getting any smaller. But that's just me.

 

Lets just pretend the max number of zombies is 20.  I'm not saying that's what it will be, but from the trailers that isn't a bad number to assume.  For the purpose of this, it doesn't really matter what the number is.

Anyways, I run around and corral 20 zombies.  Anyone who has played Dead Rising on the 360 knows you can survive 20 zombies so that isn't a problem.

With these 20 zombies chasing me I back myself into a corner in Al Fresca plaza.  I run though that small horde, turn around, and then run backwards.  I have 20 zombies in view so no more are going to spawn and since I'm running backwards they aren't going to leave view.

I now have a free ticket to walk anywhere I want in that area without worrying about zombies as long as I don't kill those 20 following me.

 

I really doubt they will have that little. They said they were shooting for 100 on screen, which would likely mean 200-300 in an area. They may not get that much, but there are a couple of shots in the trailer which have more than 20 on screen.
