Xbox 360 'Dead Rising 2' at TGS and may not be 360 exclusive

Capcom expected to be showing Dead Rising 2 at TGS later this month. Other titles making an appearance include Resident Evil 5 and Devil May Cry 4 - both of which are expected to be playable.

In other news, Dead Rising 2 may not be a 360 exclusive and may be making it's way to the PS3 perhaps along side Lost Planet.

[xaphanze]

Capcom is really not into exclusivity anymore. Personally, I think its good having the games across all platforms. But then again, what abt the competition?

[Like a shadow I am]

Multi-platform games do not hurt 360 - that's because 360 is cheaper than PS3. If a game is on both 360 and PS3, most people will opt to buy the cheaper console to play the multi-platform game.

However, when a PS3 game goes multiplatform, or when a game is multi-platform instead of PS3 exclusive, that does hurt PS3. That's because PS3 is expensive, and it needs more exclusives to justify the $600. If a game is on both PS3 and 360, then there's very little reason for people who just want to play the game to get buy a more expensive console just for the game.

[gerrard]

The ps3 jusifies its extra cost by being the one of the cheapest bluray on the market not to mention built in wifi and playing games online 4 free as well as internet access (these extras will cost you more on the 360 and while you're at sony to justify the cost of its machine which the price will go down probably b4 xmas, why dont you ask micro$oft to justify charging you 4 online use) do your maths.

[Snukadaman]

Yet people disagree with you, it comes down too price and exclusives, when you can get the same game on the cheaper system, people find out also the system that cost more also has problems with games, word spreads fast and we should be seeing proof in augusts NPD with madden 08 being a great example. There might be a spike in sales for the xbox 360 and lower sales for the ps3. This is just speculation, but if you are not a fanboy then you can honestly see the scenario.

[nasim]

by brininging games on ps3 CAPCOM would sell not only in NA but also in JAPAN and EU (where x360 is dead)

CAPCOM would see games like DEAD RISING 2 and LOST PLANET 2 sell over millions in EU and JAPAN by bringing them over to ps3.

i applaud CAPCOM's decision

[MikeGdaGod]

Dead Rising was one of the few games i had on 360 that i really enjoyed and spent alot of time playin. if it comes to ps3 that would be great.

i'd like to see what they'd do with the CELL.

[xaphanze]

It doesnt just come down to the cheaper console. It also has to do with the region its selling and what people prefer.In japan for example, the multiplatform games will sell for ps3 not for 360 since people have little interest in 360. In EU also people favor ps3 over 360.

[beans]

I loved the 1st one and can't wait for the second! IF Capcom decides to make the game multiplatform then I have no problem with that because this game needs to be played by everyone!

[Bleem360]

Indeed, the more people who play Dead Rising the better.

Though I'd like to see what they could do with it on Wii more than PS3.

[solidt12]

yeah man they should make it for the PS3, 360 and the Wii. I wan't slice heads of with the Wii controller. Of course it won't look as good but this game is not all about graphics, it's about fun taking out zombies.

[reaperxciv]

sharing the gaming experience with other consoles is the way to go, GAME ON!

[gEnKiE]

We can hope. Really theirs no reason for them not to now. The PS3 has enough of an install base to make up the development cost. Especially after the holidays into next year when im sure the games will be coming out.

[BIadestarX]

As long as they are on the xbox 360 than it's all good. I never had a problem with games being published across platforms. I don't think people should be forced to buy a console just to play a game unless ofcourse they are 1st party games.

If I'm able to play the game why should I care who else get to play it. Only certain type of fanboy find joy knowing that the other camp will not play the games they are playing...

[_insane_cobra]

Well said, I'm all for Dyack's one platform future, even though it might never happen.

[SofaKingReetodded]

is that this is one of the titles they use to tell PS3 owners how they have no games to play. We said all along the only reason they didn't come out for PS3 was because it wasn't launched yet. Now the sequels will be.

Dead rising might actually manage to scare some people if done right on the PS3.

[Arsenic13]

u must be retarted, u heard other ppl use Dead Rising as a game that ps3 doesnt have, all 360 gamers arent 1 person so u cant call all of us hypocrites.
The PS3 deserves to check out this great title to.

[DeadIIIRed]

I agree, this is one of those games that I don't care goes multi-platform (just as long as it stays away from the Wii lol, jk).

[RINGOFDEATH]

Go Capcom

[zonetrooper5]

DR was awesome and I will be getting DR2 if it does come out on the 360.

[AliC]

Good for everyone :)

[sfinXters]

That decision would be pretty logical if they want to sell their games in Japan.

[_insane_cobra]

Exclusive or not, the world needs another Dead Rising NOW!

[crck]

Lets just hope they can the ghetto save system, put more variety in the missions and include a co-op mode.

[toughNAME]

put in a proper save system

lets make a complete game this time eh Capcom?

[bumnut]

i hated having to read everything on the screen, proper voice acting would add to the overall atmosphere of the game.

more moves and been able to aim and move at the same time would also be cool.

i never get bored of driving the van through the undergrond tunnels running zombies overs.

[socomnick]

hmmmmmm What version of dead rising did you play I remember there being voice acting.

[Bleem360]

I want to see...

More lawnmowers
More swords
More chainsaws

and finally, more table umbrellas.

[Excalibur]

That being said I'll be picking it up.
Even after beating it twice, I still play it in between playing new games.
Dead Rising is a great game.

[TheMART]

May not be... Untill MS has a bag of money put on it already, together with Lost Planet 2. Most funny would be if MS just bought Capcom

[gunnerforlife]

they cant buy capcom seeing as there not in any financial danger and if they keep them exclusive 2 360 then there gone have a world of hate male, seeing as theyve been talking about no longer making exclusive games too 1 console.

[SofaKingReetodded]

and found your wee wee in your hand, grow up little boy.

[gunnerforlife]

dude was that aimed at me?

edit:thankx for clearing that u playstation360

[PlayStation360]

I'm positive sofaking was directing that towards mart.

[ParaDise_LosT]

an exclusvei, This is Capcom after all.
:p

I'm actually kind of hoping for a Wii version too... xD

I wanna waggle my way out of zombie hordes lawls :P

[Devr]

I don't think anyone should be surprised if it's announced as a multiplat title... It's Capcom. They're making DMC4 and RE5 on both systems, why not Dead Rising and Lost Planet?

[Bleem360]

Nobody should be surprised if it's on various platforms. Capcom announced this was their intention last year.

I'd be more surprised if MS (or even Sony) pick it up as a console exclusive.

Anyone who says DR wasnt such a good franchise anyway needs their heads looking at! DR was a HUGE seller for MS.

[WIIIS1]

Sony is at it again stealing games... DR was born and bred on 360 it just wouldn't feel right playing it on PS3... 360 will have the best version 'cos that's where the game started... DR wasn't such a great franchise anyway, so its no big loss... etc

[jolshwar]

The only reason lost planet and dead rising where exclusive 360 games, and campcom said this, is because the dev kits did not come out until they where thick into development.

[gEnKiE]

lol...stealing games?? r u kidding? how many games went to the 360 when they were originally ps3 exclusives? and just so you know, the developers make the decision of the platforms their going to be on....most of the time.

[Sevir04]

were fighting against him to keep it on PS3. they finnally decided to put them both on xbox 360 because of the PS3's delay. had sony launched in Spring it would have been a different story. with that being said the only one Stealing stuff would be MS. and we dont even have to look too far to see what we are talking about

[ParaDise_LosT]

go to hell xD
DR IS a Great Franchise your just bitter cuz it might go to another system :\
(I'm an Xbox Fan, but I think y'all knew that already xD)

[jay3]

YES! DEAD RISING 2!

/Strut

[TheXgamerLive]

They said the next wouldn't "probably" be exclusive and who cares, the more the better. It's a great game and will be a great series.

[ublender]

This is really Ironic.

The Xbox 360 looses an exclusive title and what you hear from 360 owners is "I have no problem with that because this game needs to be played by everyone!" etc.

The PS3 looses an exclusive, and you hear, "OMFG the PSuxors3 Lost another Exclusiv3, 360 FTW!"

Hrm, I think every 360 owner is biased at this point, and obviously for no reason. Both consoles are entertaining, and a true video game player, enjoys games regardless of the system, or origin. A game is meant to be fun, and that is all it ever should be.

[solidt12]

I see your point. I was thinking the same thing but I like to keep the piece, either way I have all three systems so I won't miss any games. Only thing is that Lost Planet and Dead Rising were never exclusives, the PS3 just wasn't out yet for them to put the game on the system and Lost Planet was too far in development to start on for the PS3 when the system came out. One thing for sure is that 2008 will be a good year for the PS3. Well it will be a good year for Gaming in General.

[jay3]

Tats just fanboys in general dude, not only 360 ones. Just wait 'till the PS3 gets a couple of good games and you'll see what i mean.

[LOFT316]

a reason why it should'nt be a multi platform game its not like there aint no history between the PS and capcom enjoyed the first game and hopfully when it gets announced for the PS3 can start to look forward to it

[Kaze88]

The games that i really would want that are only on xbox 360 are Lost planet and deadrising (plus some games that arent coming to ps3, but what i can get on pc), now were maybe getting the sequels of them on ps3...happy happy me.

[Leg-End]

my 360 owner-friends can help me out with games then.
(they are all hardcore gamers, unlike me lol)

[theonlyfro98]

not to rain on anyones parade but i just clicked on the article and in the comments section, this story is being linked to the sony defense force....so yea i dont think this article is very trustworthy...ill wait for a real confirmation

[X_GAMER_X]

http://www.sonydefenseforce...

[theonlyfro98]

thats the link...its also in the article's comment section...

[Bleem360]

They actually linked to the original xbox360wire article.

Aside from that, they turned the post around to make it seem fact. It's not. It's a rumour as the post said in the first place. Quite funny to see actually.

[Snukadaman]

That the sony defence force is a marketing scheme from sony too put a positive spin on the ps3 no matter how ridiculous it may be without the ramifications of you know, having any journalistic integrity. Anyone that disagree it must be pointed out that there are no advertisings on this site, and sony has tried too be sneaky with marketing before, remember "all i want for xmas"? anyone else starting too smell a rat?

honestly...thats my point. be amateurish and as absurd as you want, sony has nothing too lose. if there were advertisings or something my mind wouldn't suddenly think conspiracy theory, but someone has to pay for it. Its not free im sure.

[Bleem360]

If you register with the site, and post a comment it takes you through a rather amateurish WordPress admin site. It's too lame even for Sony..

[solidt12]

The only reason the first one were only on the 360 is because the PS3 was not out yet and they had to make a decision. Know that the PS3 is out expect everything that is not far into development to be on both systems coming from Capcom unless some deal is made for alot of money.

I can't wait to play Dead Rising 2.

[PimpHandHappy]

i played DR for a few hours at my buddys house and i seen what was fun about it but tell the truth i didnt understand his total love for it! It was fun but it wasnt all that NEXTGEN. It was kinda like crackdown! He told me i needed a 360 for Crackdown and i was looking at it and thinking "really this is what you want you games to be".

anyway

Good news anyway

[PS360PCROCKS]

Not surprised one bit...

[monkey602]

I havent even played the first one yet!

[monkey602]

What The F**K who disagreed? Is there somebody in here who knows more about my life than I do? Get bent you waste of space

[CNIVEK]

...because the whiny Sony fangirls all pledged to boycott Capcom, after they brought DMC4 to 360/PC. :p

It really is pathetic that people can be so wishy-washy and hypocritical. If you love games, you have to love the devs that create them, no matter WHAT platforms they make them for.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

This game sucked..was fun for 5 mins then it blows....yet it would be a welcome addition to the ps3 libary....I would perfer lost planet 2 because i know the controls would be better on the ps3..

[kewlkat007]

Capcom is the only Japanese developer that maximizing their Revenue, while spreading the love on all consoles.

Ya now, I wonder what Sony fanboys were saying about this game before(we don't want it), and lets see what they say now, both become multi titles.

Seeing how they "disowned" DMC4, once it went Multi-platform, I think 360 fans will give these games more attention.

Bring it on..

[bloop]

Cool, looking forward to DR2. Although I didnt really see the big deal with Lost Planet. I played the online and offline demos that were put up on Live and that was enough for me to take a pass on it. But Dead Rising, now that was a game I had a lot of fun with.

[jay2]

Awsome, I can't wait for TGS!

[Taco_Waffle]

I just want to get my hands on a copy NOW!!! :)

[monkey602]

I cant wait to get my 360 and play the first one. I just watched a video review and it looks like so much fun

[killercam19]

didnt we all know that they were making dead rising 2 and and lost planet 2 multiplatform this is what people had been saying for a while

[Daewoodrow]

I hope the sequel has an online multiplayer. Imagine all the players being locked in the mall, with the zombies beating on the glass outside, while you all raid stores for weapons and build a fort out of junk. Then after a set time the glass breaks and the zombies attack, last player standing wins.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

If so, I think it's time to go bomb Capcom. They took Devil May Cry 4 multi platform and said that's it's the end of console exclusivities for them.

Dead Rising 2 will be multi platform just like Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5.

[tonsoffun]

FU*K YEAH!!!!!!!!

[rukusa]

In any case, I think if capcom were REALLY smart they'd probably make a 2 games in 1 on blu-ray. With DR & DR2 on one blu-ray disc.

That would rock.

[Charlie2688]

SWEET! :D I hope they fix all the horrible issues from the first, I absolutely love the first game but the issues the got in the way (terrible AI, bad save system, etc) made me wanna puke may times

It was a love, hate relationship XD

PLEASE CAPCOM FIX IT!

[Jeremy Gerard]

like this is for sure, M$ can change all this sh*t with the wave of a pen, Capcom has a very tight relationship with M$, if M$ wants exclusivity they can have it, they have the cash, this is all up to M$.

[rukusa]

this is interesting, before it was the x360 fans laughing their guts out when the PS3 fans were "losing" exclusives... NOW, the tables have turned right now, that the 360 fans are defending themselves with excuses and speculation.

[power of Green]

Tables have turned? WTF are you talking about?. lol

No one will give up these hits without a fight.

You base your opinion off of theories talking as if this is fact..

[Lex Luthor]

Capcom said AGES ago the DR and LP sequels could appear on ps3 so there should be no suprises. On the other hand DMC4 was like a bolt of lightning, much to the fury of sony fanboys.

[Taker_129]

Why does everyone think that just because Microsoft has deep pockets that they are going to spend it on everything. Believe it or not Microsoft is in this to make money just like Sony and Nintendo. Microsoft in six years in the gaming business have made nothing but debt. This is one of the reasons the 360 is so cheaply put together, they are trying to save cost where ever possible.

[zigzag]

the first one was great I hope the second one is even better

[The Wood]

the way capcom are heading. they seem like generating cash is at the front of the agenda. please dont turn into a EA for the sake of money

off topic some light hearted fun
if you think console fanboys are prejudice you aint heard nothing

http://www.jokeroo.com/pran...

..........there can be no such union

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Capcom doesn't do exclusivity. When have they EVER done that?

[power of Green]

You people are talking like this is true be carful these games were hits on the 360 its hard to believe MS would let these games go when LP is still selling consoles(yes I talk to new 360 owners everyday in LP lobbies and its because of LP).

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

That's actually true. I haven't heard a PofG truth in a loooooong time. Bubbles for you, my good man! *cheers*

It just pisses me off that MS has to BUY games instead of making them...

[UltramanJ]

I couldn't understand why Capcom chose to bring DMC4 over to 360, yet deny PS3 the original DR and LP. Anyway, since this is a rumor I wouldn't be suprised if M$ threw money at Capcom to at least keep Dead Rising 2 as a 360 exclusive or a timed exclusive. They seem to be pretty aggressive when it comes to getting big third party titles.

[J@D]

Sound good to me. Bring it!.

[cmrbe]

I said when DMC 4 when multi-plat is a good thing. Capcom will now be looking at Lost planet and dead rising as mulit-plat but it not official yet. Sony or MS may still put in money for it to be exclisive which is sad but thats just bussiness

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I have to say we all saw this coming. I mean...Capcom has NEVER been about exclusives. PowerStone for the Dreamcast, RE for the Playstation, RE4 for the Gamecube, Viewtiful Joe for the Gamecube. Which one of those stayed exclusive, by the way? None of them stayed exclusive. Capcom is a smart company. They're also one of the best companies in gaming. DR2 will be AMAZING! I almost bought a 360 for the first game...almost.

[power of Green]

Lowl... http://www.sonydefenseforce...

[FirstknighT]

OH NO, I say we start a petition to keep Dead Rising exclusive or not we should BAN all capcom products!!!!

Psh! I don't care if it's not exclusive, I just WANT DEAD RISING 2!!!!

[Shaka2K6]

No longer x360 exclusive, like they ever were really exclusive in the 1st place
Lost Planet was on PC too just like gears and Oblivion and bioshock and halos and everything on x360.
x360 is dead in Japan thats why they are loosing exclusives and PS3 is destroying this system sales-wise world wide.

[jcgamer]

Microsoft gets a small percentage cut on every game sold on a Windows platform...makes sense to release it, right? and Oblivion is 2 million sold on 360 alone, Gears 4 million plus, Lost Planet 1 million plus, Dead Rising 1 million plus...Microsoft losing exclusives?....riiiight...just be happy they are coming to the PS3...or rumored to...jeez louise...and I'm not saying only the 360, but Capcom certainly knows where their bread is buttered this generation...and no system is destroying any other system worldwide...yet...quiet confidence is always the best way to win an argument...but I couldn't resist responding...happy gaming...

[Shaka2K6]

If every x360 game will eventually come out better on PC then that makes the x360 a useless gaming machine.
unlike the PS3 which has some real exclusives that are only playable on the PS3 no PC.

PS3 > PC > x360.

[jcgamer]

they are releasing many upcoming titles for PS3 as well as PC...ever heard of the Spy MMO project? for 2008...PC and PS3 day and date...

[i Shank u]

what about sony's PC-exclusives? i guess he also never heard of everquest either, hugeeeee series from sony since late 90's on pc. and he never heard of the FPS/MMO from sony a year or two ago, pc only. he also doesnt realize millions of people play games on hundred dollar consoles instead of thousand dollar PC's. but he's shaka. and shaka is swahili for "i fvckin love my PS3!"

[CaliGamer]

They could also release the first game on the same bluray as a bonus for the PS3 or in a special edition package, lord knows they would have enough room.

[FiveShot Bandit]

I can't wait for DR 2 i thought the first one was fantastic, but what I really want is RE 5. When those two games come out my 360 wont be off for weeks. I think it is great that their games are multi-platform, everyone deserves to play these games.

[The Dark Knight]

This is probably done by a ps3 person having a wild guess. Heyy dont get me wrong i love you ps3 fanboys , we both play games that good, but then again without offical news we wont know

[MK_Red]

AWESOME news. Dead Rising has been my fave next-gen game so far. Can't wait for some zombie smashibng with Frank!
