Capcom confirms Dead Rising 2

Capcom has confirmed that Dead Rising 2 is in development for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and PC.

The sequel to the 1.5 million-plus selling Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 will take the franchise to a new level of zombie-killing fun with tens of thousands of zombies, the all new gambling paradise of Fortune City to explore and conquer plus a host of new in-game objects that can all be used as deadly weapons to stave off the zombie assault.

wont end well ....
Nevertheless im happy :)

SupaPlaya5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

comparison videos showing microscopic differences with people claiming one version definitely looks better than the other.

Cool Hwhip5560d ago

I hope people have enough sense to just accept the fact that Dead Rising is now Multi-platform,rather than talk down the game or talk down the devs or claim the game isn't worth playing etc.

Looking forward to this,hopefully the Ps3 version will have uncompressed audio,I want to hear the Zombies breath lol.

CaseyRyback_CPO5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

Remember, the 360/Media community says this all the time, and Im sure you've heard it.

"THE PS3 HAS NO GAMES"

Even when the ps3 has more quality titles as recent as 2008 and 2009, the stigma still sticks. As does the stigma of PS3 games not selling to make it worth it to developers. Now that its official from EA/Activision/Take2 that its not the case at all, its silly to still believe that. But there are those that do. It has been used as a negative strike of conversation. So when a 360 "multiplatform exclusive" goes to the PS3, you are definitely going to find the people saying "Wait wait, So the PS3 doesn't sell that well, yet its getting 360 "multiplatform exclusives(pc/360)". I think its immature and stupid to do so, It would be nice if the PS3 community would just let the games do the talking, but I dont think it would be that out of order to remind those people of what they said about the PS3, and how the reality is that the PS3 is getting a game, that Sony did NOT pay for exclusivity rights.

Just goes to show you how important true console only exclusives are, thats the only place you are going to get the true Killzone2/MGS4/LBP quality titltes that aren't concerned about how fast they can make another unreal engine game, but how to truly make the best product they can.

Beast_Master5560d ago

Enough with the fanboy stuff! Since when was Capcom ever loyal to a platform? Megaman, DMC, RE, Street fighter. What do you want to see from the game? I heard it may take place in a Casino. Online co-op? Will it steal some of the L4D audience?

MisterNiwa5560d ago

YOU GOT ZOMBIES IN MY CASINO!!

velcry5560d ago

I honestly was ready to read about how it was coming to the Xbox360 and PC, with no mention of PS3, followed by days of multiple news stories about rumors of a PS3 port, before it was finally confirmed that it was coming to the PS3 too.

Seems times are changing.

Danja5560d ago

can't wait loved the 1st game..

just fix the save feature....and those time constraint missions......

chaosatom5560d ago

They NEEDED OFFICIAL SOURCES.

Well, here it is now.

Mass Effect, You're NEXT :)

Uzesgelen_Goo5559d ago

save feature was really annoying other than that all set can't wait DR2!

ThanatosDMC5559d ago

The time contraint were a pain especially for those that you have to wait to activate or finish. I left my 360 on, ate, showered and what have you just to see the helicopter leave me.

But it made the game unique from other games... so it's forgiveable... i just hope they fix it, if we only want to slaughter zombies.

Machete ftw!

prowiew5559d ago

This should be fun!. But no Frank!? Damn it

RadientFlux5560d ago

Good news, it would be awesome news if they also fixed the saved system issue with the first game.

Johnny Rotten5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

the save system,the load times, and the timer killed it for me in the first one. None the less it's a game people were waiting for!

DrWan5560d ago

I am no longer interested in non-PS3 exclusives, it feels like it's wasting CPU power that's not used. It's just not optimized for X360 or the PS3..They should make each versions separately from ground up, not to make it look identical, that's bullshi

make it the best it could have been....

Fishy Fingers5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

"They should make each versions separately from ground up"

Financially totally unviable and also development would take a lot longer. Personally I play games that are enjoyable and fun, not the ones that simply hit 100% CPU load.

It would be nice to see what they're capable of but it just isn't going to happen that way. A multiplat game experience is far better than no game at all.

Vecta5560d ago

So you say you only really care about graphics?

cliffbo5560d ago

no, he's saying he wants better lighting, bigger levels, more on screen, better AI, uncompressed textures and sound, bigger bosses, hundreds of enemies: all on ONE disk.

Vecta5560d ago

Ok, well tell me when God gets around to making that game then...

edgeofblade5560d ago

Cliffbo, no one does uncompressed textures. In fact, most high quality rendering these days is done by a mapping algorithm, not large picture files. And uncompressed sound is impossible on a digital media as digital quantization is compression by itself.

But I guess you only know what Sony PR spoon feeds you to make you think a Blu-ray disk is worth the cost.

she00win995560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

no one seems to care if a former 360 exclusive game goes multiplat but if it was a ps3 game, i think it will going to be more chaotic than iraq..

Cool Hwhip5560d ago

I think it's because a lot of people want Sony to fail,therefore they feel like they're getting 'closer' to that goal every time a Ps3 exclusive is made multi-platform.

Sad,but that's what extreme fanboyism will do to you.

v1c1ous5560d ago

don't expect to be handed everything like last-gen.

see the problem with sony fanboys is that they EXPECT EVERYTHING to be handed to them, like they DESERVE it. and it's ALMOST justified because if you win 2 generations in a row, and you pick the "safe" choice for this gen, it's only annoying to find out you aren't getting the benefits you expected. but we live in the real world.

so when 360 loses an exclusive, you hear ho-hum from the 360 fanboys, while the sony fanboys wonder why there's no fanfare. when PS3 loses an exclusive, everyone gets riled up because it was EXPECTED for sony to be the only choice 99% of the time like last gen, so its a bigger deal to sony/360 fanboys and the media.

Vecta5560d ago

or umm maybe because the original Dead Rising only came out this gen...

BlackRaven855560d ago

Couldn't have said it better. Bubbles for you.

ActionBastard5560d ago

I was thinking the same thing. Bubbles! Let's see if anyone wants to address this hypocrisy.

decapitator5560d ago

You make it sound as if there are a particular breed of fanboys that are better than others. All fanboys are loco bro. But I agree with most of what you said though.

edgeofblade5560d ago

Agreed. I'm actually surprised the first DR didn't make it to the PS3. It would have been a good benchmark of the two systems against each other (instead of thug commentators who can't be bothered with proof).

But I'm not going out of my way to call MS' foul for tying them up with money, because there is no evidence they did.

RUPITY5560d ago

Ps3 version for me,I want my graphics and audio in the best quality possible.

NMC20075560d ago

Yeah...... PC version or 360 version since the PS3 version is probably going to be a port of the 360 version, RE 5 will tell the tale.

silvacrest5560d ago

i wanna no what happens in the future to...

tristanmike5560d ago

I agree 100%. After downloading the RE5 demo on both systems for myself, and playing it on the same TV with the same settings and the same HDMI cable, it's clear that the 360 outperforms the PS3 version on almost every level. As I go back and rent/buy used 360 games that I own for my PS3 as well to compare, there hasn't been a single multiplatform game that looks better on the PS3 compared to the 360. Even Oblivion looks better on the 360 after the update. The biggest difference is that the 360 displays *most* games in 1080 and I'm lucky to have 5 games on the PS3 that display in any type of 1080 (i or p).

I would imagine that no huge epiphany has been discovered in PS3 development to convince me that the "better" version will be on the PS3 so I'll be sticking with the 360 version where I can voice chat with friends no matter what game they're playing.

callahan095559d ago

I don't know what you're talking about. I played the RE5 demo on both platforms and didn't notice a single difference besides the controller I was using.

callahan095559d ago

If I'm wrong and there is some vastly noticeable difference between the two versions, please, elaborate.

callahan095559d ago

OK, I suppose I'll just chalk up the disagrees to fanboyism, then, because obviously you have no real argument or you'd come out and say it like a man.

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...

Darksonic221365d ago

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

InklingGirl1365d ago

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

1365d ago
MadLad1365d ago

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

Darksonic221365d 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.

ColdSin1365d ago

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

darthv721365d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1365d ago

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

RamRod881365d 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.

DeadManMMX1365d 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.

Gamerking821365d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891365d ago

haha yes it may....good one.

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

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