This is a sub-page of Dead Rising 2.

Dead Rising 2 features many unused textures, with about half of them being item icons.

Cut Skins#

Snacks#

A cut rations skin for the snack exists in the games files. It might have been intended to be used in Case Zero, but was ultimately scrapped.

Vending Machine#

There are several unused vending machine skins in the game's files. Blue, green, silver, and inverted skins are present.

Acoustic Guitar#

There are 2 cut skins for the acoustic guitar, both even having icons. They are the American acoustic guitar and the dark acoustic guitar.

World Textures#

There are 2 cut combo card posters for the Bazooka and the Flamethrower. Due to them being unlocked by Reed/Roger and Slappy, these textures are never used.

Case File Images#

Cut Portraits#

Multiple unused notebook portraits exist in the files, including one for "Jamal". Jamal appears to be the character that died at the night zombies cutscene in Case Zero, hinting that Chuck originally would've seen him.

Loading Screens#

Tokyo Game Show Tutorials#

Leftovers from the Tokyo Game Show build of Dead Rising 2 exist in the files.

Cut Icons#

Dead Rising 2 contains LOTS of icons for cut weapons, nearly 200 in fact! When icons are extracted, their textures are a bit jumbled, so here they are arranged so they look like how they should.

There are some more cut icons not shown here.

  • The donkey lamp, spitball gun and magician sword have cut versions of their icons that are identical to the final.
  • There are icons for all 4 colors of ramsterballs, but their icons are empty.
