And so it begins. This is a sign that developers are going multiplat in order to gain more potential revenue and cut back on development costs. also not to forget that we are in a financial crisis. These two reasons will be why third party devs will make multiplatform games.

Makes you wonder if Sony saw this coming from a mile away. They where spot on about first party games playing a big roll in generating console interest.

Sony has been saying this for the past 2 years already, that exclusive from third party titles are no more. The next best thing to game exclusivity is exclusive dlc.

I agree where's the exclusive stuff 4 DMC4 PS3 version since the PS2 made the damn Franchise what it is....but then again DMC4 sucked also..so I could really care less.

but im glad we're getting Dead Rising 2 this year...

now how about some new stuff added to the Capcom store...?

like a PS1 classic RE:2...that would be great..XD

yeah agreed...

where was the playstation 3 good will when games such as DMC went multiplat and Resident Evil 5?

(yes RE wasnt PS exclusive, but it has never been on xbox consoles... and it was born and rased by PS consoles)

anyways... Capcom just shows how much they are willing to kiss MS asses inorder to earn a few quick bucks.

I just hope tons more zombies... i want the game to be leaning towards the SCARY side. More fatality moves like the Disembowler.

Boss zombies please.

and of course! MULTIPLAYER!!!

Co-op, versus, something! It'd be enjoyable...

-----

Now if only they announce that Monster Hunter 3 will also be multiplatform... i'll be praising Capcom for their awesomeness again!

If true, I'll have to try to find room to add this to the constant growing list of PS3 games to buy. Dead Rising 1 had some fun moments, but there were a lot of kinks that could have been adjusted. Hopefully they iron out all the previous issues and throw in a bunch more zombies and ways to kill them.

They did give the PS3 an exclusive goodie! A twenty minute install which allowed us to make a sandwich!

In all seriousness, I think it is probably a mistranslation or miscommunication.

But it will become a fact when a 360 game is not coming to the ps3 from the same site LOL.

Wow.. excellent point! I love how Capcom claims to be an unbiased game dev, now making all their games multi-plat, yet they pull crap like that. Bu-bu.. we gave you a s**tty Lost Planet port with s**tty extras! It's all a load of crap IMO. If you want everyone to get the most for their money, then GIVE EVERYONE A FAIR SHARE.

In a couple of years exclusive titles will be a thing of the past.
Unless it is from 1st party studios of course.

Nintendo and PS3 will be the only ones with exclusive titles, unless of course MS starts new studios themselves.

Another reason Blue Ray is irrlevent to this generation - multiplats will be built for stupid last-gen DVD for cost reasons so they can go multiplatform.

Next gen should be nice.

1.22 - debunked
Capcom has told CVG that the earlier Inafune quote from the latest copy of Famitsu regarding a sequel to Dead Rising is a "mistranslation."

"Dead Rising was a huge success for us and is obviously the kind of game we'd like to continue to make," said the rep.

"However, at the moment we have made no official announcement regarding a sequel. As the source is Famitsu, I can only suggest that it was a mistranslation."

That didn't take long.

Great news and about time too. I played the heck out of the first one. I agree that the controls need some work and I'd venture to say (hope) that they'll be updated in the style of Dead Space.

1.31 - wow,^^^ I'm a fanboy?
I'd like to know how. I just said what I said because the guy was rambling about "sony fanboy's". I said nothing about either of the platforms just noted the lack of exclusivity of a GAME, and a mediocre one at that. I like my xbox, and I like my PS3, if I didnt I would have sold them by now. Both are great systems with very different tastes, but Obviously they attract the same kind of people^^^. I guess I better take a shower to wash the "stink" of fanboy off of me. lol

well judging by the RE:5 demo..they are beginning to lose it a little then....because that game stinks..of last gen methods..

it not even has one ounce of scare factor to it ne more.....it's like RE:4 with a face job plus botox

edit: im not hating on Capcom at all they still remain one of ym fave publishers..

im still gonna buy RE:5 + SF4 already pre-ordered both to be honest , now add Dead Rising 2 to the list.....

im just saying they have lost some of there creativity over the last couple years

Capcom may not be wat it used to be in its glory days but ur looking at one of the oldest and most memorable games developers and publishers in the gaming community. Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Mega Man, DMC, are jus examples of how influential Capcom has been in gaming.

capcom needs to get the rights back with marvel and make a Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for us. I mean people may like SF4, but it seems a bit retro to me.. like an upgraded SF4 but still under Alpha.

Sadly they messed up on DMC4... They were so awesome when they unleashed DMC3 but... they added a random character Nero and never explain who the hell he was or why he apparently has the blood of Sparda running in his veins.

Dante and Vergil were badass. Nero was a pansy.

Also, the last boss (old man fight) took so much from Shinobi (PS2). Yeah, the red scarf ninja guy.

2.7 - Well you guys mabey
are happy with second class treatment but i am not happy at all. Capcom is where it is today because of PS fans and the least they could is treat PS fans equally with others but no.

I understand their multi-platform strategy and i am fine with it but sofar they are not doing a good job of following it. It feels like they are just giving PS fans scraps at a time to make them happy. As a long time PS fan that have bought almost every notable Capcom games in the past i demand more respect from Capcom.

I would imagine more and more games going multiplatorm a lot nowadays due to the fact of the American economy going down the drain. Not saying its going to effect all but i believe it has something to do with that too. Companies need to make more money somehow.

i dont care about the good will part..

but what bothers me is what bothered me with condemned 2. hard for ps3 gamers to take a series seriously without the original release...

at least lie or admit that the original was made exclusively to the 360 hardware and would take too much money and time to port to the ps3..

say something.. its just another release now.. not that i dont want it on the ps3 just saying that the original should be released as well.

they need to put it on the PSN can't be more than 5GB....

plus Blu Ray can more than hold both games..they should have a special edition Blu Ray version for limited time..with both games

@Below : we both weren't referring to story line...

what he meant is this will be viewed as a New IP to the PS3 fanbase like SR2 ...compared to the 360 fanbase because they have been playing this game...for 3 years now.

so just like they could have released Lost Planet they could have released this game also
