Capcom will stop support of the western console once the PS3 launches. Just look at how much DR has sold. Lost Planet will also do well. The only reason that Capcom has not to support M$ is because of a Sony payoff, or the fact that M$ is an American company.

jib7181d ago

how can you say capcom hasn't supported microsoft when they have two exclusives for 360 (DR+lost planet)

calderra7181d ago

There's a good chance Capcom WILL drop 360 support. It's stupid, senseless, and just bad business. But they might do it anyway. Why? I have no clue. Ask them.

It's like the old argument about there not being enough Japanese games on Xbox. Japanese devs kept saying 360 wasn't doing well in Japan because of the lack of J-games, so they decided not to develop for the system, meaning there were no J-games for it. And the circle keeps going around.

If J-developers would have developed for Xbox, the Xbox would have had J-games, so more devs would have switched to Xbox. And the circle goes 'round.

*shrug*
Ah-well. I guess the 360 will have to settle for only dominating the other 88% of the world game market.

Funky Town_TX7181d ago

the 360 was sayed not to have Japanese RPG's at launch. Now it looks like PS3 will have like one. I wish ppl would just think about it. Lost planet 2, RE5, and DR2 will be PS3 ex.

xbox=american games
playstation=world wide games

therfore playstation will have better games.

Jay da 2KBalla7181d ago

well thats your opinion but I feel 360 will have better games mainly because it will have more titles and has a good variety. Playstation has too many jrpgs that are boring as hell.

zonetrooper57181d ago

If you really have this game then comment of this game not about xbox 360 or PS3 or Wii. I got the game today and its as fun as hell, plus saints row was excellent. As for Capcom not supporting the xbox 360, stop being stupid as most third-party studios are going to support all consoles. Now leave these fanboy comments from this site.

gnothe17181d ago

do you really think that capcom would make these games exclusive.what capcom has here is a cash cow with the fans on the 360. so in no way will they NOT make the sequel to this game for the 360!buy the time part 2 of DR is to be relaesed, they would sell more copies of DR on the 360 then PS3's systems sold.thats just like saying ubisoft not releasing ghost recon 2 on the 360!! its not gonna happen, no company would shot themselves in the foot like that!!

TheMART7180d ago

Only one difference:

Sony doesn't have the money to buy it exclusive, or buy Capcom

MS has billions of dollars just for doing that. They bought Lionhead (Fable), Bungie won't ever bring Halo to other consoles, they have Microsoft Game studios inhouse with many AAA titles and if Capcom, Ubisoft or any other software house brings promissing titles they'll certainly go for a way to secure them.

So just wait and see. If the titles are important to MS, they won't be on PS

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos8879d ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

Abnor_Mal80d ago

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

Huey_My_D_Long79d ago

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

ChunkyMonk79d ago

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

chicken_in_the_corn80d ago

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac80d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long79d ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

isarai_lee80d ago

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

Report: New Dead Rising Game in Development, Now Set In Hollywood

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.

scorpio_2049165d ago

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.

isarai164d ago

Ugh, the last one was so trash bro 😔

TheColbertinator164d ago

Hollywood blvd is already full of zombies anyway

Saints Row director is pitching a prequel that gets 'back to the roots of what made SR entertaining'

Somehow, Saints Row returned. Well, kind of. In a giddy post on the Saints Row subreddit, a lead on the original game in the Saints Row series announced that someone, somewhere might be interested in firing up Volition's (RIP) open-world crime games once more.

RaidenBlack191d ago

OR ...
remake the first one but 1:1, very minimal changes ~ QoL changes that are necessary or beneficial

PhillyDonJawn191d ago

If we wanted the same game we'd go play it.

jambola192d ago

Please not made in fortnite graphics by whiny petty developers who argue on twitter this time

Goodguy01192d ago

It always boggles my mind how developers like these get their hands on well known IPs and completely butcher it into a terrible mess.

YodaCracker191d ago

Twitter? I think you mean Bluesky.

Lexreborn2192d ago

My problem is I’ve played all of them but probably collectively an hour a piece for each. Never really got into them and always got them on discount. I wonder if that’s just the general consensus on this game. Because doesn’t feel like any of them are really worth it

JEECE192d ago

To me Saints Row is one of those series that got a foothold in people's minds because the first game was in the right place at the right time (I'd put Dead Rising in the same category). In 2006 when the original came out, people were desperate for new games to play on the 360, and people were not nearly as burnt out on open world games as they are now. So the first one filled a void and served as a showcase for a new console that people were very excited about at the time.

Lexreborn2192d ago

I think the funniest thing to me was the Pecker sword in 3 but overall 3 was a pretty terrible game. I tell myself I want to go back and retry the remake of each version and I just don't feel like taking it to 1080p is going to change a pretty mediocre game at it's core

ZycoFox192d ago

Get rid of the regenerating health, or only have a certain food type that regenerates health a bit. Regenerating health + food seems a bit much but just IMO.. I always found that a bit stupid.

1nsomniac192d ago

The first Saints Row was the only good game of the series.
