Speaking during a panel at the Game Developer’s Conference last week, Blue Castle Games confirmed that upcoming zombie sequel Dead Rising 2 will include up to 800 different clothing textures for the undead as well as full multiplayer support.
Utilizing a program known as ‘mental mill’, the developer is attempting to overcome a number of design hurdles including incorporation of unique eye, skin and cloth shading, which it hopes to apply to large groups of enemies for a more authentic look.
Furthermore, it is expected that gamers will be able to experience up to a mammoth 6000 characters on screen during multiplayer sessions, though Capcom themselves haven’t been able to prove any concrete details on the matter.
Dead Rising 2 is due for release on PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360.

Doesn't sound half bad. They just need to include something to decode the events of the first game on the ps3 version. With blu ray there should be plenty of space.. (even for the full first game, though that's unlikely to happen)
