Capcom's Kenji Inafune has denied rumours that either Dead Rising 2 or a Wii version of critically acclaimed PS2 game Okami are currently in development, but hasn't ruled out the possibility of this changing in the future.
Speaking to Gameinformer.com, Inafune denied that Dead Rising 2 was in development, but did express a desire to work on a new Dead Rising game: "this is something we hear a lot from the press - Dead Rising 2, and we're not making it right now, but it is something I would love to make… I love the game and would love to do it."
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
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...
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.
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.
Some video game weapons are so outlandish they could never realistically be used, and that's why they're on our list of the 10 most impractical weapons in gaming.
If you make it I will buy it.
I think over a million copies sold warrants a sequel.
I can pretty much gaurentee that this game will be on ps3 along wiht lost planet two. Since they got this new " engine " that makes it easier to port games if thats true then Dead Rising better be annouced along with lost planet for ps3 or they will lose all of the playstaion Nation business...well mostly fanboys because im buying RE5 and monster hunter for my ps3 and psp regardless
Im just glad that Okami is not dead....its always a shame to see games like spider-man 3 sold more than games like Okami...
f!ck that I hope lost planet 2 and dead rising 2 NEVER go to ps3. You should be happy with killzone and mgs4, lose all the playstation buisness? ok wow what happened when the first two were only on 360, they didn't seem to lose any "business" at all.
Okami on the Wii, using the Wiimote?
Match made in heaven.
Now, let's hope that a new iteration of the game leads to better sales, and more appreciation for how great Okami really is.
