If you thought that the insane number of enemies on screen in the original Dead Rising just wasn't quite crazy enough, we've got some good news for you. During a presentation at this year's GDC, Izmeth Siddeek, the Dead Rising 2's character art lead, told attendees about a new technology called "Mental Mill" that will be implemented into the game, which will allow up to 6,000 zombies to appear onscreen at once, without any sacrifice to the quality of the graphics.

The developer of Mental Mill, Laura Scholl, has confirmed that Siddeek told him that their development teams were ready to take advantage of the technology and hit that magic 6,000 mark. I don't know about you, but I'm going to want a lot more than a chainsaw if that many zombies are coming at me. We'll keep on top of things and give you more info on the game as it becomes available.

Dead Rising 2 will be released for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC sometime next year.
