Capcom denies alienating Dead Rising 2 PS3 gamers

Tells Eurogamer that Xbox exclusivity is "a present" to original fans.

[jay2]

Don't give us that BS, you've provided 2 exclusive content to M$, and announced NOTHING DLC wise for PS3, so don't talk out your bums you two.

[Natsu X FairyTail]

not any different than Tales of vesperia PS3 having More characters and Special COntent Or any different than FFXIII:Versus being Exclusive to PS3. Why Is it that the new Sengoku Basara game is only on Wii and PS3? Where's the Xbox360 version? see what I'm doing?

stop crying boy. you a grown man.

[Chris399]

Most people have accepted the fact the VS will not be exclusive to the PS3, they're just waiting for the announcement from everyone's favorite multi-plat whore SE. On a related note, the TGS trailer just looked like a souped up tunnel run from XIII to me, too. So until I see this "open world" business in more than a shaky-handy cam video, I'm skeptical.

Vesperia came out over a year later and in cases like this, it is common to entice new purchasers with NEW content, hence the extra characters. See Eternal Sonata and Star Ocean for further reference.

Sengoku Basara is a predominantly Japanese title. We got one of four (if I recall correctly) of the series here in NA. Why would they even bother with the development of a 360 port, when no one in Japan will buy it when given the choice?

Back to the original issue. People are crying foul with Dead Rising 2, because it is a simultaneous multi-plat release. There's no reason for it not to have this extra content. Especially, if you consider that PS3 only owners might need a little extra nudge to inform/ interest them in the series.

My $0.02

[Kain81]

@Chris399

i dont know, but i think this is the 4th time iam agreeing with ya...
man can you read my mind or what...Bubbles + i fallow you if you are not against it^^

so i tracked you, see ya

[tacosRcool]

what about all of the games that were supposed to be exclusive to the PS3 and aren't?

[zeddy]

vs will be a exclusive or it better be. the main reason ps3 owners were pissed was the fact that the ps3 version of ff13 was downgraded to fit the needs of the 360. the reason everyone should be excited for vs is the fact theres nothing holding it back this time so if it does lose exclusivity you can expect an uproar.

[Red_Orange_Juice]

not like I care a bit about this game, but still.. darn you Capcom

[whothedog]

@natsu
I agree people need to stop crying about this, it is what it is. But I do disagree with your part about it being like Tales because the reason there is added content for that game is because it was delayed for the PS3.

Personally I didn't like the game, I did have a 360 at one point and this was one of the games I tried and thought it was boring.

So I could care less! mwahaha

But I will still eventually end up trying this game out. Cause I am cool.

[Sez]

Lol. Next 360 fans will start boycotting EA for giving extra content for MoH,DS2. And ubisoft for extra content on AC3. This is a funny gen

[deividpaulo]

@Chris399 -- Congratulations! You could write a few words with a lot of trash!

FF versus XIII will remain a PS3 exclusive...The Square-Enix used FFXIII as a test to see if the 360 VERSION would sell a lot ... and we all know that this has not happened

[deividpaulo]

[Anderson8]

@deividpaulo

your deluded if you actually believe that.. square will do a 360 port if M$ pay them enough money to bring it to their system.. as much as i'd like to believe otherwise

[gamingdroid]

It's ironic that when the same DLC is coming to PS3, it is why bother getting an Xbox 360? We will eventually get the DLC on PS3.

When it is a true exclusive, then the b!tching and moaning starts.

What is the common denominator here? Fanboys!

[IHateYouFanboys]

@Chris399: "Back to the original issue. People are crying foul with Dead Rising 2, because it is a simultaneous multi-plat release. There's no reason for it not to have this extra content"

but theres no reason FOR the PS3 version to have this extra content either. would PS3 Dead Rising 2 buyers even know who Frank West is? hes not in Dead Rising 2, and they probably didnt play Dead Rising since its on the 'enemy' console, so theyd get this epilogue and be like 'whos that guy? why dont they explain who he is and why im supposed to care that hes in it? why does he get his own little story?'.

see what i mean? theres no need for it on the PS3 because its relating to stuff that PS3-only buyers have no idea about, since they didnt play the previous game.

if PS3-only owners were on the fence about DR2, giving them some extra content that they have no idea what the fudge its even about isnt going to change their mind.

its just a classic case of fanboys getting up in arms over something that in reality means absolutely nothing to them. like how fanboys who never used the OtherOS feature on their PS3s are now crying about not being able to use it - despite not using it while they could. its just what idiots do, they whinge when they dont get something even if they dont actually want it.

[radphil]

@IHateYouFanboys

This is the problem though. One can understand about the Case West DLC thing, hence from what you said.

What doesn't make sense is that they could have put Case 0 up on PSN also from no restrictions on that. Basically the bottom line is that Microsoft paid for that DLC just like they do with a lot of games.

Capcom isn't the kind of company that can keep things quiet. Remember the RE5 DLC fiasco of the Versus mode being on the disc, and information of that slipped out before the game was out?

I can only 1/2 agree with you on what was said. =X

[jetlian]

did 360 get joker? a dantes inferno movie? are we getting wii version of dead space? Nope ok then both systems get extras. If MS or Sony decide to pay up or not blame them not capcom or whoever.

Be mad at your favorite company chose not to give you something extra

edit : Add mafia 2, ACB,MOH to that as well

[JD_Shadow]

Both Arkham Asylum and Dante's Inferno were developed with the PS3 as the lead console. And...umm...do I even HAVE to get into why the 360 isn't getting Extraction (hint: the game was on Wii, which has a particular type of controller that inspired the Move controller)?

[jetlian]

the lead programming have to do with extras? nothing thats what. Are you saying you can't play a gun game without a gun? because i remember playing time crisis without the gun.

[JD_Shadow]

Lead platforms will usually get something extra for BEING the lead platform, as was the case with Mirror's Edge, because it's easier to do things on the platform they first developed for (obviously).

And, umm...no-gun for TC4? Okay...option is clearly there, but...does anyone remember the game Revolution X (the arcade gunner with Aerosmith)? Anyone remember how awful the console versions played because we didn't have a light gun?

Now...how would you like to REPEAT that clusterfuck with DS:E without the motion controls or needing even MORE of a clusterfuck with how you could get it to work with Kinect?

[jetlian]

even talking about TC4 what about 1-3 or virtua cops, the dead series. plenty of light gun games over the past 15 years. And if you truly believe in lead getting bonus just cause!!!

Then why upset 360 GOT dead rising first!! And i'm not talking about DR1 the game i mean the series. So all in all they have more time invested on 360 because it was the lead system to which the engine was born.

[paintsville]

People always seem to forget that the driving force in any industry is money. Exclusive DLC for 360 prob just translates into this publisher realizing that they will get a higher rate of return on investment from 360 because it's quicker and easier to develop for which translate into lower production costs when compared to ps3. It's not about alienating a gaming sector it's all about money. Believe it or not that's why they're in business. To make money and make as much of it with as little effort as possible.

[pustulio]

Ugh stupid 360 fanboys is just DLC.. pfft i got lot's of great exclusives. No one cares...

*Goes running to Capcom*

You fucking bastards how can you do this to me, 360 sucks! i want my DLC! I hate you whaaaaaaaaaaa.. T_T

On a serious note i can't wait for deadrising 2 and i really didn't even cared about the DLC but oh well...

[MrMccormo]

More like as a "present" in exchange for a "present" of cash.

So, according to CAPCOM's logic, PS3 gamerss will be getting an exclusive prequel to the new Devil May Cry game for being "original fans" on the PS2, right? They'll be getting an exclusive Monster Hunter game for being the "original fans" on the PS2 and PSP, right? They will get an exclusive Resident Evil game for being original fans. They will get an exclusive Okami game.

Right? Right?

I'm just using your logic, CAPCOM...

[rekonizakilla]

this was one of a handfull of 360 games which made want to own that console. but i was patient and thought i'd wait for dr2.
Can someone let me know if this is timed exclusivity or actuall exclusivity?

Anyway, dr1 aint coming to ps3 so why can't that be their "present"?

not a happy gamer right here.

[vsr]

Please give PS3 owners DMC,RE, Monster hunter, Street fighter exclusive contents/ game

[SeanRL]

But when xbox gamers get mad cause a ps3 game is getting more love, we make fun of them?

[Odin777]

@Psfan999 I'll make fun of everyone if it makes you feel better.

[jmallymav]

did those games come out when the ps2/psp was first released?
no, stop bsing your fanboys like the tea party

[WetN00dle69]

lol, plain and simple.
Its thanks to the 360 fanbase that there will even be a DR2.
I see nothing wrong with Capcom giving their 360 fans a little something as thanks! Lately the PS3 has been graced with many exclusives DLC and games a like. And truth be told THIS is nothing compared to the exclusive stuff the Ps3 fanbase will be receiving.
2 small pieces of DLC and all hell breaks lose.....

[danielle007]

That this was Capcom's first game of the new generation, their first game on the Xbox 360, and it was a new IP. New IPs are always a risk, and I think they were doubly worried since it was so early in the new console era..

They appreciate the support of M$ and the 360 gamers, for helping Dead Rising become a hit.

Plus, the PS2 is a different console than the PS3. This is rewarding the very same console and gamers that made Dead Rising a hit.

[DevilsJoker]

I bought and still own Dead rising for the 360, i loved it. But now i buy my multiplats for the PS3... so that's where i'm getting dead rising. But I don't get the 'present' of being there for the first? Prft.

[pustulio]

Oh no it's just DLC like GTA4 no one cares 360 fanboys!

Yet you are here crying for it.

PS3 fanboys the new synonym for hypocrites.

[Persistantthug]

and then they get extra with ASSASSINS CREED 3 (Or whatever it's called).

But yeah, Capcom need not cry when PS3 users Don't buy their mindless Zombie killfest when it hits.

They shouldn't even utter a word.

[Jinxstar]

I played the first back when I had a 360... Wasn't that impressed. This game doesn't look all that great either... I have no plans on spending that much money on a game like DR2

[Biggest]

The extra content on Dead Space 2 and Medal of Honor wouldn't fit on a DVD anyway. They are both full games in addition. And since there is a Yazuka based zombie game in the works, I think PS3 owners will get their zombie hacking fix either way.

[Christopher]

I can see how people want to relate this to exclusive games, but it's different.

Both PS3 and 360 get the game. But only the 360 gets to see the very beginning and very ending of the game with this DLC. Essentially, there's no way to play the story of the game in its entirety on the PS3, only on the 360.

That's what I have an issue with. This DLC is reflective of the storyline being told and not just some optional content in the middle.

Exclusive games really don't 'excuse' this handling of DLC since both consoles already have their exclusive game deals. This is about some of the worst handling of DLC, IMHO. If Microsoft paid for some exclusive DLC, it should have been something outside of the overall storyline, like challenge DLC, new characters to play as, or even new stories to play through with different characters.

[laoboy_Smoke]

As a PS3 owner I understand xbox fanboys used to give Playstation fans so much shit a few yrs back (some still try lol) but Im ok with this bcuz things r not looking too great for x360 in tha future... all Im saying is without tha competition having some success how will PS3 shine???

PS besides Its DR2 that shit is a 7 or 8 tops ;)

[IHateYouFanboys]

@cgoodno: "Both PS3 and 360 get the game. But only the 360 gets to see the very beginning and very ending of the game with this DLC. Essentially, there's no way to play the story of the game in its entirety on the PS3, only on the 360. "

100% incorrect.

its actually like a movie being released on DVD in regular and special edition versions. the regular version has the movie exactly as you saw it at the movies, with a clear cut beginning, middle and end. its a complete movie, and the whole story is there in its entirety.

the special edition just adds in a few little deleted scenes that were cut because they werent essential to the story, but were essentially 'fan service' for people that have been 'long time fans' of the series that the movie is in, even though the movie itself is a standalone entry in the series.

so people that only see the standard edition get the full story, with a complete ending. people that see the special edition and were fans of previous movies in the series get the same movie, but a few little extra references to the previous movies, which the standard edition buyer wouldnt understand anyway.

its really not hard to understand. youre also completely missing the quotes from Capcom:

"The game was completely designed to be a self-contained and enjoyable experience, beginning to end, regardless of the prologue and the epilogue."

meaning that the story is completely the same with or without the prologue and epilogue that the 360 gets.

[Christopher]

@IHateYouFanboys: You and I are going to have to agree to disagree.

From what I've heard (and seen):

Epilogue tells how and why the new protagonist goes to Las Vegas. In the game, right out of the box, he's just in Las Vegas.

Prologue finished up the overall story with what happens towards the next game as well as bringing back in Frank West.

Those aren't just 'filler' areas of no importance to the story, those are the main storyline being expanded. They're also not just random side quests, like going and recovering dog tags from a crash site or similar. They're the actual expansion of the main storyline.

Any DLC that expands on the main storyline, IMHO, should never be exclusive to a platform. Never. That would be like Dragon Age: Origins on the PS3 getting the latest DLC that tells the story of the hunt for Morrigan and is specifically a lead in to the next game. Just like the prologue of DR2 in this case.

[ryuzu]

Come on has this generation taught you anything? This is Capcom, it's DLC for a multiplat game. It will turn up on all supported platforms - just be patient. Remember too that with the piracy on 360, Capcom are trying to find ways to make people buy stuff - one great way is forcing them to be online.

I hope DR2 is decent although I don't hold out much hope. I quite enjoyed DR1 but this one is perhaps a bit too comedic in it's approach which will deflate the tension it should have...

r.

[bjornbear]

in other words "MS payed us to keep these DLCs exclusive"

[number47]

Isn't that alienating?

Hi Ps3 owners, you dont get X because of Y?

Im not going to buy the game anyway. But its kinda silly...

[gtamike]

Dead Rising 1 is on the Wii also

[YoshiMeetsU]

It was not even close to the same game. Chop Til you Drop was basically a mini-game.

All the more reason why Case Zero/Case West would make no sense to people who didn't play the first.. You guys cant even keep the games straight..

[mastiffchild]

CTYD is, and it's got some floppy competition this gen, the worst game Capcom have made-it's AWFUL, loses 90% of the game with the cutting of 90% of the undead and is an insult both to the series and to Wiin owners. Rarely have I been so pleased I only rented something as all the doubtful previews were right on that one-crappy.

I played the first game on the 360(and the Wii game bears little resemblance to it in all honesty)and while it was a great concept, had great moments and I , overall, enjoyed it I still have my doubts about the second. There were a lot of flaws in the original(from the tiny text to the save system)and I expect that to be ironed out but can't get past the way the new lead just looks kind of a douchebag and the fear BC may be playing this one too much for the giggles.

As for Cap[com and the DLC for 360 only? It's just another one of this generations silly bits ofd exclusivity-who cares? It's not a massive gift and certainly won't be getting me to buy it for the 360 as I really would rather play it with a DS3 than the 360 pad(the reason I play most multis on PS3)but DO think that the game might have benefited from the extras on PS3 to drum up a bit more interest on a new(for DR) platform-isn't releasing it just for the 360 kind of like preaching to the choir? I just think Capcom would have been better served getting at least one part out for the PS3 if only to stoke some interest and get PS3 gamers more into the lore of the series.

[FACTUAL evidence]

PS3will get the DLC, just like they did the stories in GTA4. You all know how MS thinks TIMED exclusives are forever.

[gman_moose]

Is all Microsoft has..... pathetic. They have ruined gaming.

[mega BIG time]

IF timed exclusives ruined gaming for you then you do not deserve to be a gamer. Play the games for what they are bitch tit

[jony_dols]

Ms spent $50 million for GTA4s timed dlc.
Gran turismo 5 has cost $60 million, and has been in development for 6 years.

Now you tell me, what investment is more beneficial to the gaming industry as a whole, and to the consumer?

I now own Stories of liberty city on my ps3.
But because of Ms's tactics, Xbox owners will never own a racing sim with GT5's production values.

I think that with the exception of Live (prior to them upping the price), MS have had a negative influence on the industry

[jetlian]

spent isn't the same as loan lol. it was loaned to R* TO GIVE 360 version more appeal at launch and it worked! Same thing with COD maps for the next 3 years

[danielle007]

Timed exclusivity of DLC for GTA IV was actually a really smart plan by M$. It may not have helped out the consumers, but they're a business. I don't see Sony letting their exclusives be developed for the 360 as well. I mean, by your logic, that's what they should do, because it helps gamers out the most.

Anyways, timed exclusivity made it so when GTA IV came out, and everyone was rushing to buy a current gen console, they had many many reasons to not just snatch up a PS3 and get it. They actually had to weigh the decision, instead of just sticking to the PlayStation brand they know.. The 360 was still lots cheaper at the time, and they also had exclusive DLC ? It's just good business..

And, who knows if these Cases will come to PS3. He said it was a present, which suggests no. Plus the DLC is like, about Frank West, who was only in the first game..

[Christopher]

2 exclusive DLCs that expand on both the pre-game story and the resulting post-game story.

Essentially, only the 360 people get to see the beginning and end.

I don't mind if it's some sort of challenge DLC that's exclusive or similar that doesn't affect the overall story let alone have anything to do with it, but when you take storyline parts and make them exclusive, you're are essentially screwing over one platform over another.

***not any different than Tales of vesperia PS3 having More characters and Special COntent Or any different than FFXIII:Versus being Exclusive to PS3.***

Very different. None of that new content or characters reflected the main storyline in the game. The DR2 DLC is the beginning and end of the story, though. Heck, I'd have no problem if they gave them the ability to play as some different character in the game or anything like that, it wouldn't affect the overall storyline. But these two DLC are the story, and these story elements are only available to 360 owners.

IMHO, this is how to do exclusive DLC wrong. Very wrong. And I blame Capcom for this, not Microsoft.

[XactGamer]

Damn jay2 baby need a nap? Capcom is just paying tribute too it's fans, real gamers should appreciate this. I know it sucks if you don't own that system but there are penty of games that get more love on the PS3 than other systems. It's been like this since Nentendo and Sega days, so get over it.

[YoshiMeetsU]

Yeah, was there this kind of baby tizzy fit when Dead Space Extraction was announced exclusive to the PS3 version of Dead Space 2?

Rank on the 360 for not having exclusives and then cry and rank on it when it does. When they never have had a dead rising game on their console they already feel entitled to everything..

[avengers1978]

Mark my words All the content for Dead Rising 2 will eventually be on the PS3.

[darkziosj]

stop crying ps3 fanboys u get most good exclusives, 360 get better multiplatform games if you want both things get both consoles

[avengers1978]

Not crying about anything really.
There are way more PS3 exclusives that I want to play then 360 exclusives any day of the week.

[MiamiACR]

I love how everyone fights on this site like it actually matters, or that they even believe that it will make some sort of difference. You call each other Morons for liking one console over the other, but for those of you who call each other names for owning another piece of shaped plastic that may or may not play more games? You're the real morons.

[vhero]

Presents to original fans from who Capcom or MS(who paid for the exclusive content)??

[ShabbaRanks]

Well maybe theirs a glitch on PSN because all the exclusive preorder costumes are all FREE on PSN ... Go to add ons for Dead Rising 2 and their all there lool ... Its got to be a bug . . . Unless there something im unaware about . . .

[v1c1ous]

zombie game fans are originally found on xbox, so of course they would cater to that demographic.

kinda like how rpg fans only exist on sony systems. LOL M I RITE? of course i am, that's what i'm told everyday on news for "gamers"

[xavier-tooth]

yeah right since RE1 and RE2 are on xbox.

[nickjkl]

thats like saying shooter fans are orginally found on xbox

[xg-ei8ht]

Chris399

I really don't think you'll be seeing versus on 360, i could be wrong. But i think it's only pc/ps3.

[peedie16]

I really do believe VS13 will go multi plat. I think they will announce it at the Square event in japan

[solidjun5]

When is that event by the way?

[deividpaulo]

FF versus XIII will remain a PS3 exclusive...The Square-Enix used FFXIII as a test to see if the 360 VERSION would sell a lot ... and we all know that this has not happened;;

FF versus XIII on the 360 is a distant dream for XBOXfanboys...hahahahaha

[GodHandDee]

a present for not being given the original game AND for having to put up with your BS!

actually make it a few, one won't cut it

[jambabie69]

im a ps3 owner, but unlike you i don't feel ENTITLED TO ANYTHING. funny how some on here think they are owed something simply because they game on a certain console that they chose.

grow up. if you don't like their "BS" then don't buy the game, or any of their other games for that matter.

[GodHandDee]

Oh man you disagree? Breaks my heart sniff sniff

No really, I don't care if they didn't bring the first game. I do not care if they give the fans of the first game anything they want to really.

Actually I do not care if a company decides (with incentive from certain console creators) to give their consoles a bit of an incentive, everyone does that and it's all good.

BUT if they do this and actually try to sugar coat it with BS like we are doing this to 'gift' them, it's just stupid or they take us for idiots....so no I don't care if you disagree and no I don't think I'm entitled to anything BUT I am also entitled to an opinion and also entitled to not take BS by companies, so yeah there ya go champ, disagree away

[TheBalloMan]

this feels like fallout 3 all over again: without the happy ending where the exclusive bribe expired.

[divideby0]

what a bunch of BS... I swear they think gamers are stupid..
in other words.. beep, beep MS backs the dump truck up and out flows the $$$ (I am sure Sony does the same)
These gaming companies DONT do anything with gamers in mind, its all about the $$$

I was jacked about buying DR2 because of CoOp, but from what I have seen its a rental first

[hoops]

Good post. Sony does the EXACT same. What many on this site fail to understand is this: Console gaming is a BUSINESS. MS are greedy. Sony are greedy. Nintendo are Greedy. They all are and ALL of them do this type of buying exclusive content.
If people think this is only done by MS then they need to stop drinking kool Aid quick

[Jeff257]

I dont even know if Ill be buying this game or not. But as a PS3 owner are we really missing out on anything by not having the option to buy this DLC? Also what if later this turns out to be only timed DLC like many of the content released on the 360. Anyway PS3 owners like myself are getting the option of not getting just DLC but entire games for free in two of EA's upcoming titles. So why does it matter if Capcom decides not to let us buy the DLC? It is just money lost for them. I know I can take that money and put it towards other companies games.

[Kain81]

Its a Prolog and an Epilog...its like the Beginning and the Ending of a Game...

i hope this Prolog and Epilog DLC shit dont turn to a new standard
How can a person with a BRAIN, pay for Prolog and Epilog that should be on the F**KING DISC.

[ShabbaRanks]

Exactly

[ElementX]

Um, because they came out years after the original game?

[ShabbaRanks]

I got the 360 and PS3 and Im going to get the sony version. . . Why ? . . . Because one of my best friends only has the PS3 and we want to play coop. . . By the way since when are we suppost to pay to play the intro of a game. . . ?

[Kakihara]

I'm an original fan who switched to PS3 when my 360 turned itself into a paperweight, they could at least give me a copy.

...no??

Okay then, at least now I can admit the game was far too Capcom and colourful for me. I LOVE gritty early George Romero zombies but Dead rising felt like a zany arcade game, they could've replaced the zombies with walking angry faced mushrooms and the vibe of the game wouldn't have changed one bit. Since this one looks like it'll be the same I think I'll pass altogether.

[despair]

Its kinda obvious that MS paid for it to be exclusive, which is understandable but it would be funny if in a month or so it becomes available to PS3 owners also. I mean this is Capcom we're talking about, they try to sell everything to you so why else would they not try and capitalise on PS3 fans when all was needed was a simple port to PS3 and PSN.

[dredgewalker]

Okay...... so why is there no Monster Hunter for the PS3 since the original fanbase was with the PS to begin with? We are the original fans if Monster Hunter yet Capcom denies us a gift of a PS3 version of Monster Hunter. Just admit that you Japan's version of Activision.

[tiamat5]

Yeah is that why you never gave us Dead Is Rising and instead gave it to the 360 and a crappy port to the Wii? Right Capcom you have never alienated us before. The PS3 version would have been 10 times better than the Wii version but you still left us out.Developers seem to think 360 owners money is greener then PS3 owners. If you give us Case Zero and Case West you will get our money too. You are not a first party studio or even an independent developer. I don't see why you owe Microsoft anything.
If you prefer the 360 Capcom just say so and stop the lies please.I am tired of the lame excuses that developers make about the PS3 to cover up their bias or preference for another system. Like that Child of Eden idiot Tetsuya Mizuguchi

[TOSgamer]

They prefers money. MS pays them. That's why they like MS better. This dlc junk will show up on ps3 after a few months. Just like all the other timed exclusive DLC junk MS buys.

[NLGSean]

"Dead is Rising"? What game is that?

Why bash these guys? Most of you sound like kids crying that this is a BS statement. The game was born on the Xbox 360...

Dead Rising was released in August 2006 in the US and Sept 2006 in UK and Japan... Hell, it even came out before the PS3 system itself came out (November 2006)... It was pretty crazy for a Japanese developer tomake a game on the Xbox 360.

Capcom can actually thank US and UK gamers for this one selling good... because we all know how bad the 360 does in Japan... Be lucky you are even getting part 2 on the PS3... It's a kick-ass game. If you want to be sour grapes then you are missing out on a good game...

[TOSgamer]

That is exactly why they are "crying". Because it is a BS statement. Who likes being lied to? Hell I'm not getting it on either system but on PC. But calling the DLC a present to fans is just insulting. Hell when was the last time you were sold a "present"?

[TheHater]

"At the beginning we didn't know that this new IP would be a success, but the fans on the console really assisted in making it into one. So it's like a present, something that we gave back to the original Dead Rising fans."

So according to this idiot logic, PS3 owners should have gotten exclusive contents when it comes Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter, and all other Capcom games that was started on the PS1 and PS2.

Like I said before, I will never again purchase a Capcom game. I will either Gamefly it, borrow it from a friend, or buy it used. Fuck you Capcom.

[Kain81]

The only game i bought from capcom this gen was SF4 and that Pre-owened

Last gen i bought RE0, RE (remake), RE Code Veronica, RE4, DMC, DMC3, Breath of Fire 5, Onimushsa 3, Okami and other games...

THIS GEN i bought only one game from CRAPCOM...and if they stay at their policies than, i will buy their games used sorry i dont support a Company that dont support their fanbase same to SQUARE_ENIX

[SuperStrokey1123]

Certainly doesnt alienate me, but in all honesty for them to say things like this is obvious BS.

[nnotdead]

don't care, but it does suck for all the PS3 owners who want this game. developers should really stop doing this stuff. either make the game an exclusive or treat all versions the same.

[Simco876]

That M$ money goes along way. Not suprised. If your Mircosoft and you pay good money to have things not go PS3's way, then you expect results.

Hurts gamers, but helps companies... business is pretty simple isn't it?

[Unicron]

Exclusive DLC on SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLATFORM releases needs to die. Like now.

[NYC_Gamer]

exclusive DLC is new trend....Sony/MS both feel they can sell more 3rd party software this way

[jack_burt0n]

Umm no thanks, really looking forward to DS Extraction HD.

Case zero is more like early access, its a big demo with achievements.

[socomnick]

Exclusive dlc is actually a brilliant idea. Need to lure multi console owners to buy the 360 version over the ps3 version then offer exclusive dlc. Great way to get more on your platform.

[jack_burt0n]

I think its important from a marketing point of view, its a big risk taking a big chunk of a game and releasing it a month before the actual game ships it should be interesting to see if ppl have gotten enough of a fix from it to make them wait for it to get cheaper before buying the full retail game.

Even beta's can work like that LBP suffered reduced day 1 sales because the BETA was so in depth and ppl scrambled to get it.

Its more important the ps3 version runs well!!!!

[asyouburn]

dead rising fans who have since defected to ps3? where's their "present"?

[MetalFreakMike]

Just don't buy the game. I'm not because I played the first Dead Rising and I did not really care for it. Capcom is being stupid for not giving PS3 owners this content because those are sales they are missing out on. I hope no one buys this for the PS3 or it gets low sales to show them we don't buy trash.

[DirtyLary]

"Tells Eurogamer that Xbox exclusivity is "a present" to original fans"

That's a BS statement, only xbox owners are fans?

[BillOreilly]

if its only on 360 then you must be an xbox owner to play it so the fans are xbox owners lol. Its like how god of war fans are playstayion owners. The dlc will come in time but its a 360 game(started there) so its not a suprise they get dlc. Probably to make up to Ms for going multi

[jony_dols]

What about 360 owners who have since upgraded to the ps3, but owned and played Dead Rising back in 06.
Don't they deserve a present for buying the 1st?

[akilebailoyo]

Capcom, you're making bad choice in this years

[Sneak-Out]

when it`s really a present, then must it be for free

[jack_burt0n]

shhhh lol u dont want to start that argument xbox is allergic to free content.

[mega BIG time]

imagine if the dlc WAS free!

[tigertron]

Ah, a present to original fans who happen to have a 360. What about giving a present to PS3 owners too? I'm not saying that those who have DR1 on the 360 don't have a PS3, but its a bit of a kick in the balls to those who only have a PS3.

[NeloAnjelo]

Just admit that you're a sell out... Where are the "presents" to PS2/PS3 gamers? All the exclusives that were taken away... DMC, RE, The planned Monster Hunter for PS3, only to be cancelled? Go Fu*k yourself. I am glad your games aren't doing too well in the West. To be honest I was a major fan. But dont say crap like this. Gamers aren't stupid. I still like your games, I just don't like you.

[testerg35]

So PS3 fans get extra content on other games (ie: Dead Space 2) and that's fine with us 360 owners, but man... anything 360 gets it WAHHHHHHH.

[coolbeans]

Welcome to n4g :P.

[jony_dols]

Were you not on this website 3 years ago?

The Xbox fanboys were everywhere trolling every ps3 article talking trash about the quality of the games on the xbox.
Rem 'ps3 is an overpriced grill that has no games'

Haha its hilarious the way that alot of these people have now defected to ps3, or retreated back into cyberspace with their tail between their legs.

[NLGSean]

Yep...

"How DARE you give Xbox 360 gamers exclusive DLC to a sequel of a game that was exclusive to the Xbox 360!!!"

These are the same people that jumped for joy with news of the Exclusive Joker playable character in the PS3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum...

Two way street people... Hell... If anybody should complain it should be Wii owners. They always get the shaft... (trust me... ever play Dead Rising: Chop til you drop?)

[kaos_fish II]

Unfortunately I did play DR: Chop Til You Drop - <deep shudder> for that game, motion controls and killing zombies DO NOT MIX. Appalling game but it's Capcom, so it to be expected.

Capcom this gen is NOWHERE near the Capcom of last gen.

[NMC2007]

I am still feeling the sting from that Arkham Asylum content the 360 didn't get.

[tiamat5]

Yes you 360 people never b***h and moan when ever we get something and you don't.Look how long some of you griped and cried about not getting MSG4 or that you didn't get the Joker levels in Batman:AA.It's amazing how it is always us "PS3 fanboys" that are at fault. We must never complain about anything while 360 and Wii owners are free to complain about anything and everything

[Sez]

I need a good laugh. Can I see that link to where 360 owners was bitching and moaning for the joker and extra level of Batman.

[testerg35]

http://n4g.com/news/363632/...

Here's one. Please read and you'll just see its mostly PS3 fans doing the NAH NAH NAH.

Its rather funny that you always read about how PS3 is for adults while 360 is for kids, but after you read the PS3 fans' comments...

As usual, tiamat5 just yaps.

[NeloAnjelo]

Uhh? Dude this is quite new to the PS3. MS got all the DLC first for GTA, COD, and future CODs... I have a 360, i know this for a fact.

Its only now the PS3 is having something similar. You're speaking as if this happens all the time. Yes the PS3 has more games, because of Sony's Studios. But when it comes to getting content first, added levels and exclusive content, the 360 has always been King. The recent Tomb Raider: Guardian of Light is a perfect example. This isn't about Sony or MS. Its about Capcom. How many games and Studios made their name off of Sony and Nintendo...

[BabyTownFrolics]

you bitches just love to whine

i cant have everything so wah wah wah

you know what I did as when I wanted to play games that were only available on the ps3 when I only had a 360. I purchased a fucking ps3, i didnt run around n4g crying.

Since obviously buying a 360 is not an option for you (for whatever reason you have), please shut the fuck up with your crying.

as the disagrees pile in let me just say one more thing, kiss my ass and taste the santorum on your baby lips.

[madjedi]

Thats right rowsders or however you spell it new account, your still being an asshole, and just as bad as the "babies" crying if not worse.

If people deem something unfair to them they are going to bitch, it's human nature, get use to it.

[mega BIG time]

baby baby u give me faith in the human race. There's still some sanity round these parts even if you have too read closely between the lines.

The whining is not human nature. You feel so strongly about it jedi then do something about it. Bitching just clutters up a place meant for rational intelligent conversation.

Now back on topic.. When i was a young chap and played SF2 Championship Ed. on my genesis i loved the game and played the hell out of it. Now did i cry when my friend with his shiny new Super Nintendo got SF2 Turbo with cheat codes? Nope I saved up for an SNES and said F! street fighter give me some Zelda! Moral of the story: go play your Killzone AND Halo, babies.

[Whitey2k]

and crapcom does it again no monster hunter for ps3 and they avoided to do it for the wii and now this gets funnier everytime there a joke might call them activision wannabe's

[TheHardware]

capcom, I wouldn't have payed this any attention, except for the "present part"....Where is the ps3 Devil may cry present? didn't ps players make that series?

think i'll stay away from your games from now on...and if anyone has any problem with my decision to whine/boycott ect, start working for me and then you can decide where i spend my money.

[BabyTownFrolics]

"start working for me and then you can decide where i spend my money"

now dont go editing that abortion of a sentence, i have it here in all its incoherent glory.

but following your train of dare I call it thought I have a couple of observations:

1. the people who work for me cant decide where i spend my money, what kind of business are you running and are your employees aware that they are able to dictate where you spend your money?

and

2. aren't you not spending your money in this scenario since you have decided to whine/boycott?

[Roper316]

No you alienated gamers by locking excessive amounts of content that is on the disc and then charging for it and by butchering your series like RE to something that doesn't resemble what the franchise is all about.

RE5 was that last Scamcom game I bought and have no intentions of buying any of their future games. I know this sounds bad but every time I read they are struggling financially I am happy because they deserve all the bad things that happen to them.

[Whitey2k]

i agree i mean i liked playstation since it 1st came out and sony is the one that made gaming what it is they dont care about the ps3 fans and yet we supported them though ps1 era

[newhumanbreed]

Wow stop crying. Nintendo made RARE, why aren't you crying that they joined Microsoft?

[nefertis]

I hate this multi-platform exclusive dlc crap, one camp misses out on content while the other camp shake there asses in other gamers face talking about y'all need too purchase this console too play that dlc. Thank God for first-party exclusive games no worrying about being shafted.

[TheColbertinator]

Wait.Why am I(360 owner of Dead Rising Case Zero and Dead Rising 1) getting charged for my "present"?

[R_aVe_N]

Honestly who really cares? Dead Rising was not a good game to begin with. Capcom is screwing everybody as of late so what made you think this would be any different? If anything be pissed they gave over DmC to a hack company like Ninja Theory to completely screw up. DLC for a game that wont sell well anyways doesn't matter.

[ocnkng]

Isn't this the same retarded dude who was bitching about japanese games in TGS?
He must be pissed as how his moronic business moves are running his company to the ground while other japanese companies seem to do quite well.
Well Mr Infaune your brain dead idea just lost your a potential customer here.
Crapcom needs to realize that a flourishing and ever growing loyal customer base on the PS3 is way more important for his game then a fat bag of cash passed under the table.

[Orange Juice]

I have the game on my 360 but now I mainly game on my ps3. Does that make me less of a fan?

This is just a goofy/untrue answer to a question they dont really know how to answer. Just come out and say that ms wanted exclusive dlc for a once exclusive franchise rather than patronizing everybody.

[makingdamage]

Still havent bought any retail game from Capcom this gen but I did buy bionic commando rearmed (which is great!).
And I likely wont buy this game either, and by cutting content doesnt make me more interested in the game.

[RosoTron36]

Lol. Im a casual gamer though.

[MGRogue2017]

... What? So PS3 owners get nothing for not having the first Dead Rising available on their console of choice?

That's just wrong. I think PS3 owners should get at least a little something extra in the PS3 version of Dead Rising 2 because of this exclusivity with Xbox.

[metsgaming]

i wasnt going to get that game anyway, looks like it would be cool at first but get boring after a few hours.

[yewles1]

I am now going to disrupt this thread...

BLUE STINGER!!!!

*runs*

[BYE]

Thanks Capcom, your reasons are just ridiculous. The truth is Microsoft paid you good, didn't they?

I'm a huge SSF4 fan but now I will let my wallet speak for this treatment of potential buyers. Fuck this game and MvC3, too!

[SpitFireAce85]

"Tells Eurogamer that Xbox exclusivity is "a present" to
original fans"

I thought presents were suppose to be free :)

[dionnysus]

aren't 'presents' supposed to be free? can i at least return my copy of DR2:C0???

[dionnysus]

oops, sorry spitfire, u beat me to the punch!

[happyfuntime]

Regardless of the fact that I hate the Xbox, every Xbox owner and think Microsoft:Xbox is the most disgusting company on the planet I am completely cool with this. It's exactly how a company should act in my opinion. Even if I hate the Xbots, I love that they get exclusive content for this game because they deserve it. They made Dead Rising a success and the company appreciates that and gives back to them. I love Capcom for doing this, even if I get nothing out of it.

They are everything that SquareEnixVSWada&Sharehold ers Inc. isn't.

[ElementX]

The prologue and epilogue are from the Frank West story which was a 360 exclusive. Would PS3 owners want to play the beginning and end of a story and nothing in between?

[JohnSimpleTon]

Well I have no problems admitting to the possibility that the "support" they received from MS is the same kind of "support" I'd like directed towards my wallet. After all, like another poster mentioned, I don't recall ever having to pay for a present.

[DufferO8]

DR2 360 VS PS£

[Gitaroo]

well PS3 owners, just wait for Yakuza of the End and Dead nation. Don't buy half ass prodcuts from capcom, I bet DR2 is probably just another a crappy port anyway.

[tiamat5]

nefertis very good point. Screw Capcom. We still have enough first parties to give us all the exclusive content we need. If Capcom is so hell bent on saying they are not alienating us, where is Dead is Rising 1 for PS3. You skip us to jump to make a crappy Wii port,left us out of Monster hunter Tri even though it was the PSP that made it MH popular and didn't give us Lost Planet and gave us a crappy port of it. So as you can see Capcom has been screwing us for years now and we have the right to complain because they just did it again.

[Clarence]

The first Dead Rising was wack, and I think the second one will be wack to.

[Silly gameAr]

I don't really care about the dlc but I am surprised by Capcom taking us for idiots.

[newhumanbreed]

Fanboys crying because Capcom wants to thank the console owners who made the first game in the franchise successful. Jesus Christ, the PS3 is getting an Assassins Creed: Brotherhood beta, extra content on Medal of Honor and Dead Space 2, and you guys are crying because Capcom made an exclusive arcade game for the 360? Grow up.

[Blaine]

Most companies don't give a shit about thanking their fans (thankfully there are still exceptions to this), Capcom ESPECIALLY. Haven't you noticed they're the greediest company this gen?

I think it's you who needs to grow up and realize this is just business. Nobody's thanking you for owning a 360.

[Thoreau]

companies don't give a D@MN about your personnal views, thus ninja theory making dante look like the head designer. it is all about the money. micro paid capcom for the extra side stuff. at least capcom should not lie like a dog about it.

[Blaine]

lol

What kind of idiot would believe this PR bullshit?! Admitting they're alienating the PS3 users (which they are doing) would hurt their sales--but they'll never admit it, they'll just talk PR bullshit out their ass instead.

[OGharryjoysticks]

but Keiji Inafune's smile proves otherwise =)

[sak500]

bu bu we have exclusives.. So go play those damn you p3crybabies never satisfied, always complaning. Seriously u idiots make those bitching houseives look like preachers. If it's not this then it's that. Jeezus stop the fking crying. Look around you nobody else in the world cares not even your GOD SONY.

Why dont you go back to the online site for the protest. Remember back in teh days when you guys were having menstural cycle 24/7 and were complaing and creating boycotts for EA, capcom, UBI, Activision, Valve etc.

[Truth]

So you give a present to the original purchasers, however you didn't even make it available to the PS3 owners to be original purchasers. I smell BS. Sounds like damage control to the whiny XBOX fans who wanted this series to remain exclusive on their platform to me.

[DaBadGuy]

What? Are you kidding me? Why was it cool for PS3 to get exclusive DLC for Mafia 2, Red Dead Redemption, Batman: Arkham Asylum, exlcusive demo for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, etc. but 360 exclusive Dead Rising 2 DLC is the boiling point? All those games are multiplat also yet PS3 got the nod, so big whoop. Exclusive DLC is nothing new I don't get why PS3 fans are all up in arms.

[steve08]

I wish i could have the opportunity to download this :(

[Knushwood Butt]

Capcom would sell their mothers if they thought it would milk in a bit of cash.

I'd be amazed if anything at all remained exclusive over time.

Regardless, I don't care about this game, or Capcom games in general really..

[PS3-247]

Who cares. Microsoft paid them for it and Sony didn't. Can't get mad at Capcom for that. I rather Sony make they own zombie game with better graphics and game play. Like I said before, Dead Rising 2 should have stayed 360 exclusive.

[jmallymav]

"Dead Rising was our very first Xbox 360 title and Microsoft supported the title all the way," Ohara said
dont see a problem with that
if it was naughty dog saying this, is that bad?
stop being fanboys..and own all systems!

[BABY-JEDI]

But Dead Rising was meant originally to be on the PS3 then it was pulled. I guess money talks!!! However DR 2 is now on the PS3 & Capcom are giving p*ss poor excuses for their azz licking antics.. That's what bothers me. The way they treat a large part of their consumer Market. It is shameful. Dead Rising 2 will be a good game. Sadly to say Capcoms management are letting their product down badly with such BS...
Oh & I forgot to mention I own all systems...

[Truth]

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself +bubble

[air1]

Sooo if you have all 3 then why are you crying? Since when did you care about the rest of the ppl? Aren't you one of the first ones to jump in npd numbers and cry how number don't mean anything? but now you wanna act like every gamer matters? Give me a break, all you have is a ps3. I have all 3 and wouldn't care if it came out for the wii, well maybe a little I would hate for the game to look worse then the first .

[Bathyj]

I really dont care about this issue. Its a bit strange, sure, but to be upset over it is to imply that I was intending to buy every single bit of DLC with Dead Rising 2 slapped on it.

I'm buying the game tommorrow, thats enough for now. If it really bothered me, I would get it on Xbox.

[BABY-JEDI]

What Capcom have done is pathetic.. They have alienated a large part of their Market again!!! How can their management be so Fu*king stupid?? Kiss azz politics really doesn't work Capcom. Pull your finger out & do the right thing by PS3 owners as well as 360 owners. Your just embarrassing yourself again & again just like those duracel bunnies LoL.

[Cajun Chicken]

That's fine. I'll just play them later after both the DLC on 360 has run out of it's timed exclusivity and Dead Rising 2 has been out for a while. I'll play them then, that's how it usually works.

[Justin_bristoe]

you guys can have this dlc,we gotta give u xbugs something every once in a while other than halo

[JJFNIGHTS80]

Yeah what ever Capcom. As long M$ pays you in loyalties in $$$ you don't bother making it for the PS3 which is why I could care less for Dead Rising. Just like other companies that M$ pays for exclusives WITH LOTS OF CA$H

[air1]

Yea im sure you write the checks for micro to know they pay a ton of money. Ps3 fanatics are such a sensitive bunch.

[SnukaTheMan]

its really a great start up to the bigger game....you get to take costumes,cards you collect in it and transfer to the bigger game....

[air1]

We are 5 years into this gen. N4g has a hardcore bunch that are here every day all day complaining about dumb sh!t like this. If you was as hardcore with gaming as you are with n4g you would have all consoles by now and news like this will mean sh!t cause you would have all 3 And it just wouldn't be an issue.

Go mow some lawns, shovle some snow, rake some leaves. Do something cause you can get all 3 consoles very cheap right now. Again it's been 5 years if you wasn't such a fanboy and applied the dedication you have on n4g with games you wouldn't be crying so much.

And isn't the dlc for the original story anyway? It has nothing to do with dr2, but. Can be wrong

[rekof]

It sucks anyway, most repetitive, mindless game I've ever played ,.. was cool for about 2 hours,.. this is not made for me,..really tried to like it,.. loading ,.. loading ,.. loading ,.. loading ,.. loading ,..

[fullmetal297]

I don't understand why PS3 fanboys are making a big deal about this DLC when the content itself doesn't apply to them. The DCL is about Frank West which was from the first game and Dead Rising is only for the 360, so it would make sense making it exclusive to 360.

[big_silky]

Whatever the reason, it's true. Sony fanboys are by far the worst of the gaming worst. Your PC obsessives are arrogant, your Xbox 360 obsessives are ignorant, and your Wii obsessives subscribe to some creepy cult of personality, but its the lunatics who champion Sony that truly rule the realm of fanboyism with an iron fist. They're childish, selfish, petulant, and possess a bizarre victim complex where everything is always about how biased people are and every offhand comment, every joke, every observation must be taken personally. They seem to believe in a conspiracy theory they've concocted where reviewers and the gaming media have it out for Sony, pursuing a personal vendetta for no reason whatsoever. They have never once considered what a reviewer would actually get out of pursuing petty grudges against Sony, or why anybody actually cares that much. The only people who care about "bias" against Sony are the Sony fanboys themselves. It's all in their head.

http://www.destructoid.com/...

That's why. It gets truer by the day.

[loki52]

on Sept 28th and that is FIFA! thanks for nothing capcom. go f yourself. that goes for all publishers that don't give equal content to both consoles when they release a game. exclusive games is fine, cool. exclusive content is just Fing over people who supported you.

[Kurt Russell]

Nerd... They aren't fucking anyone over, lemme guess. 15 and living with parents?

[loki52]

It's ridiculous when one set of gamers don't get the prologue or epilogue to a game they spend $60 on just because of the console they own. if you bought a 30 chapter book but because you bought it for the ipad, you could only read chapters 3-27, you would be outraged. it's the same thing. and no, i'm 27 and living with a hot doctor

[danielle007]

Well, Dead Rising was like, the first game I bought for my 360. Really, my first new game of the generation.

So, it's kinda cool that i'm getting exclusive DLC from them after all these years, I guess. I know PS3-only gamers are peeved, but, really, Sony gets a lot of exclusive games, and a bunch of exclusive DLC.

[StitchJones]

My PS3 doesn't RROD, so Dead Rising 2 will play smooth with or without extra DLC, WHO CARES!

[Kemicalbeliefs]

Well I played the original one on the 360 but I'll be playing number 2 on my PS3. DLC content? arsed.....

[Vinushka]

Gee, you people take things *way* to personal. They're consoles, not family.

Have you people ever thought of just shutting up and playing games, I mean that's what you've bought a console for, am I right? Do you all need to make fun of each other for owning a different console than what you have yourself?

So what if another console has some exclusive stuff? It's not the worst thing in the world, you'll still live. And yes, you'll still get to play the game when it comes out, so chill.

PS3 fanboys and Xbox fanboys need to shut the eff up & stop crying over nothing. You guys are pathetic & petty.

Just play your games and shut up (I know, play games? who'd a thunk it, huh?).

With love, Vinushka. <3

[CrIpPeN]

I am just going to wait on Dead Rising 2 on PS3, see if there is coming out a better version of the game, Capcom has done that lately.

Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter 4.
