Dead Rising 4 To Be Windows 10 Store Exclusive on PC; State of Decay 2 Also Expected at E3 2016

Dead Rising 4 will be a Windows 10 store exclusive on PC, and many more details have been spilled. State of Decay 2 has also been confirmed to be featured at Microsoft's press conference.

[Chris_Wray]

A Windows 10 store exclusive. Well normally I would argue that something made by a third party but being limited to W10 store exclusive, completely ignoring MS' saying that they weren't trying to make a walled garden, is a load of rubbish, I can't exactly argue when they fully funded it themselves.

I'm looking forward to State of Decay 2. First was brilliant, even if they did double dip with the re-release they made. Not a big problem when they did it on the consoles, giving the improved visuals and such, but on the PC we already had them, all the PC version got were patches and expected to pay for them.

[mhunterjr]

They never said the werent making a walled garden. The win10 store IS a walled garden. They said they aren't aiming to turn the entire PC landscape into a walled garden...

[Kreisen]

And yet they keep trying...

[Christopher]

Well, that's solely because they can't control what third-parties do and know it would be stupid to try and force them to fall in line with their views. But, can guarantee what they can put behind Win10 wall, they will.

Not saying that's not normal, though. It's just what it is. I just hope they don't go too far in competing against Steam. That's a war that won't look pretty.

Edit: That one tweet poking fun at MS was savage.

[kenwonobi]

You can just be sure when Microsoft says they are not doing something it means the opposite. They are certainly slowly grabbing the gamer into their grips with constraints. There will be every facet that involves Windows and Microsoft subscriptions. It's coming.

[IrishSt0ner]

It seems most people don't even realise UWP is a seperate closed platform within the Win10 OS. Developers can still release games in exactly the same way as all previous Windows. Games on the 'walled' Win10 store can be launched with 3rd party software (e.g. Steam).

It's thier attempt to get more app developers on the Windows platform to try closing the gap with Android and Apple, one build can deploy across all devices is a nice sell.

Of course the fact that MS are only releasing their exclusive games on it brings the attention of gamers, other companies keep thier PC games on their own platform... so it's nothing new..

MS will be forced into a huge compromise by the hardcore gaming market.. although I do think UWP is here to stay as it's actually very good for the whole unification aspiration, added security, idiot proofing etc..

[kaiserfranz]

Excellent! I have been waiting for the new State of Decay for a long time, can't wait to bring the mayhem online

[sammarshall102]

Same here these are two games that are day one buys for me

[Festano]

Yes! Dead Rising 4 will be great with Frank, I can feel it

[sdcard4gb]

Unless they make it into a angsty drama with Frank who curses all the time and stuff that has nothing to do in DR. You know, like that one other CAPCOM franchise.

[Phil32]

I love the Dead Rising series. Hope this new one is just as solid!

[-Foxtrot]

Why Capcom....why

[gangsta_red]

Why not, remember...Capcom supposedly needs the money.

[Alexious]

Indeed, even Dead Rising 3 was funded by Microsoft.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

If it was on PS4 and PC only he wouldn't of made the same comment.

[DeadlyOreo]

Yeah. So if Capcom need the money why not make it for every platform? I think Sony doesn't really care for DR, fair play to MS.

State of Decay was fantastic, good to see a sequel.

[-Foxtrot]

We need to stop this exclusive shit. Dead Rising 3 was a Xbox One exclusive, Sony got SV5...it's over, it should have been left there.

@Sciurus_vulgaris

Oh please Mystic Meg tell me my future and other things about me since you obviously know me well enough to say that kind of crap. How arrogant

[darthv72]

So Fox... PS4 is NOT getting Deep Down? That was touted as a Capcom Ps4 exclusive and if you say that dead rising 3 and SFV are canceling each other out then Deep Down and DR4 should both be multiplat games.

[IIFloodyII]

@DeadlyOreo

Because they don't have the money to take the gamble on it selling well? MS funding it takes all the risk off them, so Capcom considers it a smarter move, then going at it alone. I don't believe they've released a single AAA game this gen without either Sony, MS or Nintendo giving them financial support. The only non-remastered game I can think of, that they did on their own is Revelations 2.

[MachuchalBrotha316]

@Fox Trot and DeadlyOreo.

Dead Rising started on Xbox and to me its a Xbox game. I wouldn't play it on Playstation even if it was an option (same goes for games like Metal Gear,Final Fantasy) games I associate more with Playstation.

And I know you guys will attack me, again Im glad its staying exclusive. You guys say Xbox needs exclusive, well heres one.

[Christopher]

That and the very long history of exclusive content/games.

[GhostTurtle]

If they needed the money, why in God's potato sticks would you not release it on steam? I get its funded by MS, but....f*** W10 store

[Lonnie18]

Yep guess I'll have to skip this one also just like Dead Rising 3 because it was exclusive!

[sammarshall102]

I feel for you, Dead Rising 3 is pure fun and this one is supposedly using Unreal Engine 4 so it'll look better graphically too

[Sm00thNinja]

Well that's just ignorant. If one consoles all you have I get it but you're robbing yourself of a great gaming experience

[CYCLEGAMER]

Your loss...lol

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Probably takes very little effort to have a game run on both Windows 10 PC and Xbox

[Christopher]

No. It might take less effort, but very little? Absolutely not.

[kraenk12]

You don't know much about game development if you think that's true.

[DragonbornZ]

@Foxtrot
Those games were both funded by Sony and Microsoft. Same here.
Capcom needs the funding.

[Omegasyde]

exactly - Capcom is broke. I'd rather have MS pay for development than it not being made at all. Its business. Same scenario with Street fighter - if Capcom could afford it they would happily make it multiplatform since it would be more sales.

[gangsta_red]

"We need to stop this exclusive shit. Dead Rising 3 was a Xbox One exclusive, Sony got SV5...it's over, it should have been left there."

@Fox

The real world doesn't work that way. I don't think there's any rule of 'even stevens' when it comes to how companies do business with each other.

If MS or Sony came to you with a blank check and said make me a game, are you really going to turn it down in favor of using your own money to make the same game and then spend more to port it to three or four different platforms?

[hduce]

@Gansta_Red You can't teach common sense. Money definitely talks in the gaming industry. Sometimes exclusivity sucks for the consumer but this is the reality of how things are going in gaming. Luckily I have all the gaming platforms so I'm not effected as much. If I were a gaming company and someone offered to fund my project for exclusitivity, I'll take it.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@hduce- "I'm sorry. I didn't realize you and superchiller were dating. Your long winded and incessant posts proved to me that you're getting emotional. I could care less about the Wii U sales. Does not hamper my enjoyment one bit. I have better things to do than repeatedly cheer lead in a comment section. Get a life. I am out of town in the middle of no where on a business trip bored out of my mind by you continue to monitor every post I make. You know there are more worthy causes than fighting the good video game fight. I'm guessing you are in your teens or a immature basement dwelling 20 to 30 something"

Why did you PM me this? lol

"Does not hamper my enjoyment one bit" I don't want it to bud, my post is merely talking about the situation as it pertains to business.

Mind you, why even try to make it seem as if its not worth your time, yet make a personal and immature PM?

Buddy, its not that serious and I'm not posting it to make you feel bad or attack you are anything of the sort. I don't even hate Nintendo as a gamer, merely as a company I don't agree with what they do many times.

I still own a 3DS and got many games for it, in fact Wii U is the first Nintendo console I've ever skipped. I won't comment on anything like "The only thing missing is his girlfriend edmix writing a long winded rambling essay in the comment section" as its just immature and irrelevant to the point We may not agree on many topics, sure, but keep it about the topic at hand.

I won't make fun of you, call you names, PM you insults or anything like that. I'll merely illustrate that I won't do it.

Who knows, we likely have many games we like in common. Just don't take the comments being made about Nintendo so personally, I still buy their games and still plan to buy their next platform if it has certain titles that I like.

I of all people can tell you no one is always going to agree with you, but I don't expect to be agreed with 100% of the time. This is reality, we all have different views.

[FlameBaitGod]

These people are so stupid(Capcom) lol, they see the short term money instead of the long term. Do these people still don't understand that the majority of PC gamer's hate the Windows store? Do they even bother doing a survey or something on any of this ?

[sammarshall102]

Those people who limit themselves just because something is only on Windows need to deal with it

[Khaotic]

Why hate the windows store, I mean it's you're choice but you will miss out on some great games for stupid blind hate

[FlameBaitGod]

They deal with it by not buying it lol, Quantum Break PC sales anyone ?

Why hate windows ? blind hate ? are you joking ? hate because it has horrible PC support (they could of redeemed them self's with Quantum Break but that game ended up being a horrible port) and the only thing PC gamer's remember is how bad Games for Windows Live was. There's just cause for the hate so please drop the innocent act.

[ScorpiusX]

Deep Down is most likely why

[JEECE]

I don't see why this is a big deal. Dead Rising only ever got big because it was on 360 early when there wasn't a big library yet. When Dead Rising 2 came out on both consoles mid-gen, it didn't make anywhere near the same splash. Most PS3 users ignored 2, so why not make 3 and now 4 exclusive to Xbox One?

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Because your Mom.

[Hold_It]

@JEECE

Except Dead Rising has done better than Dead Island and Dying Light which both fit and were that whole "nothing else was out at the time so everyone acted like it was the best game ever made". kind of game.

[JEECE]

@Hold_It I don't know that it did better than Dying Light (which is also a far better game in any event), but even assuming so, I'm saying Dead Rising did well because it was out when there weren't a lot of games out on the 360 at all, not just that there weren't many in the window that it released (which is what you are saying about Dying Light). Dead Rising came out before Gears and COD 4, so people on 360 were still playing original Xbox games at that time. By the time Dying Light came out, PS4 and 360 had solid libraries, including long-term multiplayer titles. A better comparison is something like Knack that sold over 1.5 million on PS4 despite not being well-received at all, simply because there were only a few games out at the time; a Knack sequel wouldn't touch that, even on a much larger install base.

That aside, Dead Rising 2 still made very little impact (particularly on PS3), so I just don't feel like the PS4 audience is losing out on much, since we probably weren't going to by a Dead Rising game anyway. Literally the only thing getting attention to this game is the fact that it is supposed to be exclusive; if it was multi-platform, the leak wouldn't have been a big deal at all.

[PFFT]

Why not? Capcom has already released SF5 exclusive on the PS4. And Umbrella Corps is also releasing exclusively for that console as well. So DR4 being an XB1 exclusive is only fair.

[Golden_Mud]

It's kind of simple, Microsoft could have offered a deal that can't be refused, and that deal is to make the game all costs on Microsoft, and with that, Capcom gets revenue without no lost.

[Khaotic]

I wonder how they split the revenue?

[TheUndertaker85]

@Khaotic: Microsoft is probably entitled to X amount of revenue until they recoup what they spent if not a little profit if the game does well enough. Little profit being subjective as if you're Microsoft in this case you'd want as much profit as possible.

[Pogmathoin]

Fox, did you complain when Street fighter was PS exclusive, or you just a sad fanboy? MS are behind this game, they are entitled to do it like this.......

[-Foxtrot]

I don't really care for SFV and complainined at the lack of content before release

Sooooooo check your facts and don't arrogantly assume

[Pogmathoin]

So, then in that case, it was a content issue, not the fact Sony made it a 3rd party exclusive? So your selective then? With Sony, its fine, with MS no? Cannot have it both ways, its only an issue now because MS secured this one?

[Tobsesan]

Foxtrot aka doublestandard I guess.

[Lennoxb63]

Because Sony isn't going to pay as much as MS. Sony is just going to rely on their fanbase to buy it. So there's the risk of not enough people buying it to make a profit.

[BlackTar187]

guarntee some of the people who are responding to Fox were mad dogging SF5 for it's SOny exclusivity

[ThatGuyDart]

I told you guys a while back it would be X1/PC exclusive (gonna bomb on PC unless they release it on Steam.)

Capcom already gave Sony SFV and on top of that Sony's first party studio Sony Bend is already making it's own open-world horror themed game.

[ScorpiusX]

let's not forget that Deep Down game also ......

[Satyre28]

YES! State of Decay, this has to be their online MMO type game they have been wanting to make. This can be absolutely fantastic, cant wait.

[2pacalypsenow]

sigh... looks like Xbox 1 for me

[TXIDarkAvenger]

sigh...looks like I have to stop being a fanboy

-2pacalypsenow

[2pacalypsenow]

Yeah because not wanting to support that Garbage Windows Store and choosing to play it on Xbox 1 makes me a fanboy?

[Ashlen]

Remember when Microsoft was all like "we'll still support Steam we aren't trying to eliminate competition?"

http://www.technobuffalo.co...

http://www.techtimes.com/ar...

I'm sure UWD is totally harmless, I mean why would an honest company like Microsoft ever lie and just say what they think people want to hear. I'm sure it will be open... They are totally trustworthy!

/s

[Herbalistic]

I knew Microsoft weren't going to fund AAA software and then split the profits made with another digital service.The Win10 app store would be worthless without any exclusive software.Its already behind in terms of what PC gamers expect in terms of features..DR4 could hit Steam if Capcom worked out a deal which allows them to publish the game on PC.

[Ashlen]

It's not actually behind. It's like that because it's written with control in mind.

UWD is a system in which Microsoft will be able to pick and choose what technology they want to support.

My prediction is still that future versions of DX will only be supported by UWD so anyone who wants to make a modern game will be forced to use UWD and Windows store.

There is no reason to trust that Microsoft has anything other than control in mind when it comes to UWD and Windows Store everything they have done so far says otherwise.

[Seafort]

To me Windows Store is already worthless and dead. I won't be going anywhere near that app store.

Microsoft can bring out any games they like on it and I still won't be interested especially at the prices they charge.

Plenty more games to buy and play on PC. I can live without Microsoft's exclusive games while I've got 4-5 other stores to buy games from.

[Bytor]

Ashlen they cant do that when Windows first came out they were pulling shit like that but Congress stepped in and I'm sure they will again if they have to.

[sammarshall102]

Get a Xbox One or Scorpio

[Maxor]

So how are those windows 10 games running now. I could never muster up the courage to try them and probably never will at full retail prices.

[Lon3wolf]

Windows 10 games or Windows store games, as Windows 10 games run fine same can't be said for big titles released through the store.

[Maxor]

Windows Store games I should say. I heard the "exclusives" are super buggy and runs like crap so I never bothered.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Work fine.

[kraenk12]

You don't even own a gaming PC.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

I only own Killer Instinct on W10 and it has been running perfect since launch.

[DillyDilly]

Will it be cross buy like Quantum Break was ? Only way Im interested in it if its just a remake of the first one

[WeAreLegion]

Screw that. Open it to other stores and we'll talk.

[sammarshall102]

Give in to Microsoft they have some great games :)

[ScorpiusX]

AWESOME ,NICCE . E3 getting better & better

[Lord_of_Cinder]

I have never played a Dead Rising or state of decay game so I don't know what are they talking about 😁.

[Fin_The_Human]

You should give State of Decay a try...its like The Walking Dead meets Fallout.

[PFFT]

Ahhh man State of Decay 2!!! E3 2016 is gonna be EPIC!!!!!!! Let see what else Sony and MS has in store for us.

[WickedLester]

Soooo, is this multiconsole or only on Xbox again?

[Sonyslave3]

It for Windows 10 meaning Xbox 0ne & PC no Ps4

[WickedLester]

It says it's a "Windows 10 exclusive on PC." That doesn't necessarily mean it's also Xbox exclusive on consoles.

[andresegr]

Can Microsoft Money Hat at least ONE worthy 3rd Party Exclusive for the Xbox One?!

God...im sick about these average games. If by the end of the year i don't buy another frigging exclusive for the X1 (bought Quantum Break), im selling the console.

[Bruh]

What has the other companies gotten through money getting? SF5? That game was average at best

[andresegr]

Why Money Hat when your own studios actually make games?

Im talking about Sony and Nintendo.

As a consumer you should ask for better, but instead you are wasting time defending a company that is not respecting you as a customer.

Gears, Halo and Forza are not enough. It is pathetic how underused are Microsoft 1st Party Studios.

[Bruh]

@andresegr
It's funny though Microsoft has had more first-party products come out from their studios than Sony this generation, but keep drinking your kool- aid. Nintendo isn't even comparable they rely on exclusives alone to sell the system and thus why it beats both Sony and Microsoft. But money hatting is the name of the game, everyone does it. Calling it pointless makes no sense because it doesn't effect you as a consumer if you own the product lol

[opinionated]

Yo Microsoft is going to kill it this year. Dead rising 4, state of decay 2, crackdown release date. That alone is a solid e3 for me.

[andresegr]

Talk about low standards LOL

[opinionated]

Weird request but okay... When you have had too many drinks and the ugliest girl in the room starts looking like a fox. It's okay though because ugly chicks need lovin too.

[Dark_king]

Stonewall thanks that made me laugh man. I use to bubble people up who made me laugh now I got nothing I can give for it.This is something I suppose 🍻

[sdcard4gb]

Well, that's strange, Capcom, I remember you saying that it'llbe exciting for all the fans.
I am not excited, you lied to me, apparently.

[Frisky]

More are the chances of them ruining the game going down this road. I can just hope that doesn't happen.

[Lbolt187]

I just want MS to allow modding on win10 games

[Khaotic]

Hate me if you want but when MS funds Capcom games at least they come out complete I can't think of a Capcom game that was developed for Xbox that was bad, or shady

[Hold_It]

I hope it ends up being for PS4, X1, and PC as this has the potential to be the first AAA game to kick off the new Cross Platform Multiplayer allowing X1, PS4, and PC players to all play together.

[MCTJim]

Hope its cross play and cross buy. Loving what they are doing with the store!!

[Lenrulesdaworld]

Dead Rising 3 was a fun game with a solid story, I wish it were a sequel based on the way it ended but I never playe dthe 1st, so this is intriguing.

[Meltic]

No Steam again ? wtf

[Majister-Ludi]

Great news I love state of decay and can't wait for a hopefully much deeper sequel. Can never get enough dead Rising so this is also good.

[CaptainObvious878]

I guess that means it's an xbone console exclusive as well. I little disappointing, I would prefer playing on my PS4 for trophies, but maybe the extra fps and setting on my PC will make it worth it.

At least MS has funded this from the start instead of just money hatting half way through development to block it coming to PS platforms, so I can't complain.

[IamTylerDurden1]

DR is a junkfood game, fun, but absolutely not necessary to play. I'll take Dying Light or Dead Island over DR if i want an open world zombie game that's thin on story. The poor visuals and cartoonish style don't do it for me.

[Bruh]

Falls in line with what seems to be Microsoft's goal, which is a unified store with PC as a extended arm of Xbox and vice versa. If they were smart they'd launch a diskless Xbox One slim at $150

[TXIDarkAvenger]

A disk-less Xbox One wouldn't drop the price by that much...

[JEECE]

If they are going to sell a much more powerful Xbox next spring, the slim this fall needs to be pretty cheap. Plus if it is disc-less, they wouldn't have to worry about people buying used games, so it would benefit them to take a loss on the console since all games purchased would be digital. I have no plans to buy an Xbox One, but if they made it much smaller than the current model and sold it for $150ish, I probably would grab one just so I could finally play Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

@JEECE

Uh no one would buy it then. The slim will definitely not be cheaper than the current model out which just received a price drop. No one will buy it if its disc-less, did you forget the outrage when MS wanted the Xbox One to be completely online? A majority of people are not going to go digital only.

[odderz]

Wow, I didn't think there would be a State of Decay 2, honestly.

Nice that DR4 is on PC, at least. Fingers crossed it's a better port this time.

[Livecustoms]

This makes no sense, why would microsoft not put Dead Rising 4 on the Xbox and only Windows 10 ? Can cure my ignorance lol ?

[Naughty_Cloud]

The way I see it, if a company be it Sony or MS funds the development of a game. They have the right to its exclusivity.

[kpanda]

I hope they do announce this at E3! Can't wait to hear the crickets and angry gasps.

[NotEvenMyFinalForm]

I'm not touching the Win10 store even with a 10 foot pole.

[OptimusC]

DR4 being a remake of DR1 but during Christmas time just sounds awful and I still don't understand how a remake can obtain a number as the next installment. just doesn't make much sense to me.

[CitizenFour]

State of Decay 2
Oh man! Please let me kill zombies with my friends this time around! Co-Op would be greatly appreciated lol!

[Antifan]

Ha, they never learn.

[Yetter]

State of Decay 2?! Awesome! Pretty much guaranteed to have coop considering the outcry for it when the last one released

[its_JEFF]

I understand that MS wants to push the W10 store, but you're trying to go against Steam... one of the most beloved and respected "stores". I also understand that this is the only way to get people to use/push the W1 store, but I feel like their just massively increasing the fail rate of these games. Why not try to do some kind of partnership or just some W10 exclusive content rather than a whole game exclusive to the store.

[kraenk12]

The problem is by using their methods they will end up keeping much more people from buying their games than if they had just put them on steam without all that draconian BS.
People were weary of Origin of Uplay already but this GFWL2.0 shit won't help them getting sympathies.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

State of Decay 2 hype!

[The_Kills]

Thats $60 in my pocket.. lol what clowns. I am not using some spyware OS on top of that poor excuse for a game platform DRM gatekeeper.
