According to 1UP, the next issue of EGM will contain a rumor, courtesy of rumormonger Quarterman, that Dead Rising 2 is being developed in the US -- not by Capcom (though Capcom would surely be publishing it).

To me, this is great news (if it's true news). All of the things that I didn't like about Dead Rising (the complicated, unfriendly save system, the ridiculous plot, the crummy menu interface, annoying support characters telling you what to do, lots of reading) are trademarks of Eastern game design. I would like to see Dead Rising done with a more Western flair, perhaps some kind of system where the main character can stick to walls and shoot around corners...

The rumor doesn't say which Western developer would be/is doing it, other than that they're LA-based (who isn't?).
