Playboy Magazine to be featured in Dead Rising 2, zombie boners incoming

Can’t say I saw this one coming at all. Capcom and Playboy Magazine have teamed up to bring specifically featured magazines from the company’s 57 year history. Why you ask? Well, that’s a good question, and one I’m trying to decipher myself.

It seems like the magazines will be used to fend off the zombie horde and give Chuck Greene a “unique and special upgrade“. I’m pretty sure that UPgrade is a 10 inch samurai sword coming from his trousers.  On how all of this makes sense: “The Sin City-type environment in Dead Rising 2, Fortune City, is a natural playground for the Playboy Bunnies,” said Seon King, Senior Director of Licensing for Capcom Entertainment, Inc. “We have integrated the Playboy brand throughout the game in ways that bring even more life to Fortune City and add to the user experience.”

Ya, I can buy that, but I never thought zombies could be fended off with a little girl on girl action. In any event, Playboy has always been known as one of the more tasteful magazines on the market and placing ads across Sin City will hopefully be done within the scope of the game. As we’ve all noticed in the past, in-game advertising can be quite odd at times. Let’s hope that’s not the case with DR2.
