Its their best title to date and i don't think it would be smart to allow them to do it, but who knows its a rumor anyways so we will see.

Sphinx6469d ago

...Capcom wants to make money, and they made a lot with the 360 and Dead Rising... Capcom isn't that stupid to make the sequel a PS3 exclusive.

Uh, I guess this is the official EGM thread now. Or something.

103 million PS2s shipped and well close to 100 million sold does say alot about fan base vs a 25 million xboxes shipped. and considering that Xbox360 is now free of shortages, one would think that it would be selling in high volumes, seeing that 360 fans say its hottest console, yet the DS, PSP, and PS2 fly shelves. What could the rest of the world be waiting for when the 360 is so "hot"? well my guess is every one wants a PS3 and Wii. that says alot about a "hot" next gen console 9 months deep on market, and a full year come launch of it's competitors this fall. and still aint selling in the volumes it would like ... ok yep. but hey dont bash me i have a 360, you asked for facts and i gave you some number thats all just saying, since all you 360 fan kids tout the 360 as all that, a bag of chips and a soda. news flash... it's not, and very far from it.

zerofunction6469d ago

well first im not a 360 fanboy, second you prove some good points. Thats all i was asking for.

Actual next gen numbers

End of June 2006: 5 million 360's sold
End of June 2006: Zero PS3's

End of August 2006: 7 million 360's sold

Mr Murda6468d ago

You are assuming that everyone is ready to buy a next gen console. Wrong, there are people out there that are just now buying a PS2 or XBOX. Right now "early adopters" are buying next gen consoles, not everyone, and 7 million is a huge number for this market. This holiday season will be the true beginning of the "normal" market catching on to the next gen buzz. Expect to see a lot of 360's sold again this holiday (without the shortages).

Canceled Dead Rising: Dia De Los Muertos Gameplay Surfaces Online

Videos of the canceled Dead Rising: Dia De Los Muertos have come to light, giving us a look into what the game could have been.

Underpants453d ago

Shame loved the Dead Rising series. Even enjoyed 4 but not sure why they removed the campain co op.

TheColbertinator453d ago

A zombie lover like me will always wait for a new Dead Rising.

hotnickles453d ago

Dead rising 1 was one of my favorite games back in the day. I never got into the others like I did DR1. DR2 was ok but 3 and 4 were kinda lame.

Kakyouin452d ago

Absolutely agree with you 100%. 1 was A MASTERPIECE even though it had several things that were not that good. But still a very solid title. And the ending was EPIC.

hotnickles452d ago (Edited 452d ago )

I agree. I’ll never forget grinding the zombies in the parking tunnels to get the mega buster weapon. Its uniqueness will always stand out to me and is high up on my all-times.

MasterChief3624452d ago (Edited 452d ago )

When I got over the rather bland art direction of Dead Rising 3, I actually fell in love with that one. Dead Rising 4 on the other hand.... :(

It's a real shame the Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + Alpha DLC isn't available on PC. It was one of the best DLCs I've ever played, it was so fun! But alas... I no longer have my Xbox One :(

hotnickles452d ago

I should give it another try on the newer Xbox controllers. I remember jumping over to the Xbox controller was a big peeve for me. I loved the 360 controller and dead rising was one of my very first games on it. The Xbox one controller felt cheaply and loose and it bugged me. I don’t feel that way with the series x one.

Kakyouin452d ago

Never played 3 or 4 but I read they weren't the same. As for 1 I guess the character played the "path of the hero" so well, no other title could keep it up with. 2 had to have another instance with Frank. And that's what I loved about the first: Frank was a good for nothing and still was the hero. He was not funny, he was not the hero everybody wanted. He was just there "for a good story". And the psychos..... my goodness!! Adam, the snipers, the three prisoners on the garden, the cult! MY GOODNESS!

Nebaku453d ago

Good Riddance. Capcom Vancouver's entries are a big stain on what was a great, charming game series.

The ideas shown here are the pinnacle of their ineptness. Yeah, let's remove items on the ground, a core mechanic to the franchise, and one that people would show they still love in BOTW 2 years later.

Dead Rising Is Proof That Sometimes You Shouldn’t Listen To Feedback

TheGamer Writes "Dead Rising first burst onto the scene 16 years ago. At the time the game was a groundbreaking technical achievement, and a great showpiece for the then-new Xbox 360 due to how many zombies it could cram onto the screen at once. However, it was more than a mere tech-demo. Dead Rising captivated fans with engaging gameplay that allowed you to use almost anything as a weapon, packing that choice with unique bosses and an iconic protagonist in Frank West."

I loved DR1 and 2. 3 was pretty decent, but 4 was just bad.

traqueia540d ago (Edited 540d ago )

I definitely agree.

What I always found amazing in DR1 was how it was a survival game first and a sandbox game second, and not the other way around...

Your weapons were resources for specific situations, and you always had to juggle your resources and plan your runs... "I'm gonna get two X weapons on this store for hordes and then I'll get to that other store and get Y weapon for Z boss".

Although the trend of combining weapons that started in DR2 and so on was fun, it removed that layer of strategy and streamlined the series too much by catering to the "it's too hardddd :((" crowd, since you only had to focus on crafting the same 2-3 kinds of strong weapons and you're good for the rest of the game...

shinoff2183540d ago

This was one of the games I got an Xbox 360 for back when. Dead rising. Lost odyssey. Blue dragon. Alan wake. Anyway the last 3 didn't disappoint. I thought dead rising was kinda eh. I didn't like the setup or how it played out. It's been years but if I remember right it was some kind of timer during the missions or whatever you wanna call them. Straight turned me off. I never even tried the sequels.
