Someone's Trying To Protect GDC Attendees From A Zombie Outbreak

In what most are guessing is part of a viral marketing campaign for Capcom's Dead Rising 2, there's a booth at the Game Developers Conference that's handing out "shots" for "zombrex" and a suggestion that "prevention is always better than a cure," and encouraging people to help protect their loved ones from becoming infected. Likely not coincidentally, just around the corner from the "zombrex" booth is the recruiting area for Blue Castle Games, who's currently developing Dead Rising 2.

    There's a vaccine! Yes! Bite or scratch no longer means death sentence by turning into the undead. However that leaves the most likely event that you'll receive an infection from that said bite or scratch from normal everyday bacteria/virus, a sad way to die in a zombie apocalyspe.

    I would love to know what they are actually handing out. Empty boxes or maybe some crap inside related somehow to DR2?

    One unintended side effect of Zombrex: Allows zombiephiliacs to enjoy their vice without becoming one.

    *shakes head and sighs*

    what if the prevention is the cause? what if the pharmaceutical company that manufactures zombrex is just using the general population as guinea pigs? did umbrella have a hand in this?
