Now that E3 is over, Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/Senior Vice President at Capcom, has returned to answering questions on the Ask Capcom forums. - PSLS
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
Former Sony executive Shawn Layden has "no idea" what happened to Capcom Deep Down game, which disappeared after announcement.
Still sucks we haven't heard much from it. Really liked the concept behind it, and I feel like I was one of the very few who liked the game's music. A shame it's in hiatus as of now.
I think Platinum has been overextending itself for a good while now. Scalebound was canceled after missing deadlines and Bayonetta 3 has shown nothing since its announcement in 2017.
While the game never came out, I don't think it was time wasted. If you look well at how the camera follows the character and how it moves around during "gameplay", you'll notice it's spot-on identical to the camera in Resident Evil 2 Remake. Deep Down might have been cancelled, but it most likely became a proof of concept for Capcom in development of the REngine.
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.
It'll show up on PS4 after a little while. I don't think Capcom would let the series restrict itself to Xbox One sales.
So its a X1 exclusive, nice. Dead Rising 3 a Xbox One exclusive.
Edit: @Trendy Dead Rising released on 360 exclusively because the PS3 wasn't even out yet. So MS took that advantage to market the game as if it was the only game to hit its platform.
The PS4 and X1 are releasing at the same time. Capcom simply has no plans for ports.
Edit 2: Looking at Dead Rising 3, which is an Xbox One exclusive, he said there’s “no current plans for any other platforms,” which is due to the fact that Microsoft is publishing the game, “so it would be tantamount to asking Nintendo to put their key franchises on other platforms.”
So don't expect this game to go multiplat any time soon.
Dead rising 3 is probably gonna stay xbox. That gonna suck for people who want the game but don't buy XB1. That's whyn i'm getting both. I'm not missing out on anything.
Ya know, being as though so many people are pooping on the Xbox One direction, doesn't mean that the dev will jump ship and make Dead Rising for PS4. Dead Rising has always been an Xbox exclusive and I see no reason why they would switch now. Anyway, PS4 got other zombie games to keep you entertained. But if you want DR, buy One.
