Rumor: Dead Rising 2 Coming From The Bigs Team?

Remember that rumor from EGM that pointed to a Dead Rising sequel coming from a Western developer? Kotaku heard a similar but slightly different rumor from a source that also says development duties are being shifted stateside, specifically at Vancouver-area third-party Blue Castle Games. If you're not familiar with the name, you may remember Blue Castle from its work on The Bigs for 2K Sports. While the relatively young, 100-person strong development studio is known only for its multi-platform sports title, it is currently listing an unnamed "action game" for the Xbox 360 as one of three projects on its plate.

This would be horrible news if true.

Silellak5930d ago

Am I the only one who wants a new Dead Rising more than a new Resident Evil?

Yeah...I thought so :(

MK_Red5930d ago

You're not alone! Defeinitly and absolutly agreed. I want Dead Rising 2 way more than RE5.

It's a shame that the devs are changing. I PRAY to God that it's not true and original's team makes the sequel.

ceedubya95930d ago

I do want a new Resident Evil, but I'd be just fine with a new Dead Rising in the meantime.

LeonSKennedy4Life5930d ago

PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO US!!!

Also, we want multi-plat...

shanezx5930d ago

Just want it in on Xbox 360. I still play Dead rising today. Awesome game

The Snake5930d ago

Multiplat or not, I don't care. I just want this game.

Bnet3435930d ago

No you don't, PS owners called called capcom, "crapcom" and bash them for everything.

bumnut5930d ago

please include more save points.

ceedubya95930d ago

then they better not screw it up. The original game wasn't perfect by any means, but it was a great start to what could be another outstanding franchise for Capcom. The last thing they need is for the second game to come out and underwhelm (or suck) compared to the first game. They were able to get by with Devil May Cry after the 2nd game, but they may not be able to this time. Handing the reigns over to another team like that is risky, and if true, I hope they know what they are doing. At least Silent Hill 5, despite being made by western developers, seems to be going in a good direction, so there is still hope for this game.

What Happened To The Dead Rising Series?

Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.

Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...

Darksonic221386d ago

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl1386d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic221386d ago

Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.

ColdSin1386d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

darthv721386d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1386d ago

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

RamRod881386d ago

They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.

DeadManMMX1386d ago

This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.

Gamerking821386d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891386d ago

haha yes it may....good one.

The paddle bat and string ball from Fallout should be considered too.

Chaos_Order1449d ago

I would've included Tira's ring blade from Soul Calibur.
