Capcom's Mark Beaumont has said that the company will produce Dead Rising games "for years to come".
The original game, an Xbox 360 exclusive, has shipped over one million copies worldwide as of 31st December 2006.
Speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz, Beaumont attributed some of the game's success to punters' willingness "to take more of an experiment in what games they'll try" at the start of a hardware cycle.
Others would probably point to the 360's shortfall in first-party titles along the back straight of 2006, and the game's superb critical reception.
"Bringing out Dead Rising has allowed us to establish a new franchise that we can use for years to come," Beaumont added, which ought to give those Resident Evil slackers something to think about. Come on, what's happening with number five?
A new Dead Rising is in the works, and we have the first plot details on this entry, which takes Frank West back to the action.
Please make it in a theme park or something extravagant like the original mall and casino(but different). DR is all about bigger than life environments, not some realistic gritty town.
Capcom has just announced its own event where it will showcase some of the upcoming titles it is working on.
"RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard for iPhone/iPad/Mac."
Feels like a deliberate omission from the title.
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.
Shame loved the Dead Rising series. Even enjoyed 4 but not sure why they removed the campain co op.
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.
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.
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.
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 :(
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.
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!
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.
This game was original, fun and looked great on a HDTV, if they make another Dead Rising game then i shall buy it.
Capcom should do like UBIsoft and keep them coming every years.
RE5 on 2008
Dead Rising ????
do what??? why???? the first game i thought was fun for about 4 or 5 hours of play, and then i took it out of my 360 and and haven't played it since
I heard that if they make a sequal that its going to be released for the playstation 3 aswell?
Reminds me of RE. That has been around since PS1.
