I'm sure DR2 will feature many incredible amazing updates so maybe just maybe C-Warrior will stop deriding it.
Or they could just expand in different directions to further annoy people who complain about "depth" since apparently all you need for depth is a huge combo system.
Also pretty weak to yell at Lost Planet's 30 fps as a sign that's "the best Capcom can do on the X360". I'd like to think the X360 is capable of handling DMC4. Course I wouldn't be mad at Capcom either if they pulled out something really amazing because at least I have Ninja Gaiden to fall back on(Or do I? According to some people it's a PS3 exclusive now).
But hey what do I care? I'm just trying to save some money. I welcome multiplatform games with the most open of open arms.
Please I would love to see games like Ninja Gaiden go multiplatform so I can tell all of my "doggs" about it. I don't care about the winning and losing of exclusives, I just want to be able to play as many games as I can while owning as few systems as possible.
Can't have any fun...
Frank West will come back as a half man/half zombie combo machine.

Well it's just a name, any sequels could be named accordingly along with some marketting that pointed to the games being spirital successors.
Saying that the game is shallow simply because of the combat ignores all the other good things about the game. The character development for Frank that was created in Dead Rising is meaty enough to create a number of sequels based around getting the next big scoop.

I would never have thought so originally, but now I am not so sure. 300k demo downloads? thats a lot of demand. DR is ranking above NCAA on the played list compared to when they were released. NCAA never got above #4 even though it sold well over 300k in July. DR was #2 last week (rankings from majornelson.com).

Well, it's just MHO... I'm a gamer first, and I'll own all three systems again so I have something to play all the time... but in all seriousness, in mho, if this game released a lil later, when there are some other "antipated" games released, it would most certainly NOT sell as good... I believe there is a drought of "good" games to be played on the 360 as the moment, so when something like this comes out, it's going to sell like crazy to the installed userbase out there at the moment, which are in majority the hardcore gamers, with high attachrates...
Shoot me if my opinion isn't well met... but it's what I think and feel... it is a 7-8 outta 10 game... wish it had a more compelling story to go along with the rest of the elements... maybe a more broad range of attacks for each weapon rather than 2... Dunno... Solid game, yes, God-send, no... maybe I'm just too hard on games anymore in my old age... :lol
To be fair, PS2 nor Xbox could pull off a game like Dead Rising. Sure it could pull off some gimped up version, but then that isn't the game people love and play on 360.
Glad to see the game has awesome sales. DR deserves it.
Regarding Ninja Gaiden 2, I think it is going to go multiplatorm on 360/PS3.

There's no arguing on the basis of semantics on my part.snatches said:
And adding your own personal perspective. Mere reporting wouldn't have resulted in the title you gave this thread, for example, or the second paragraph in your OP.
You're missing the point of the example. The logic here has got little to do with platform competition. The thesis you've reported and lent your support to is that if one game does well on a platform then many more of a company's projects for that space (whether it be console or handheld) should be targeted for that platform because they will also do well. But we can see that doesn't always turn out to be the case.
Sure, but going after the same customers and getting them are two different things and I don't believe any 3rd parties are really going to build their games based on what any platform owner says their going after but rather what they've got.

Ninja Gaiden2 seems to be MS-funded (and pretty much everything Team Progressive is doing is MS-funded).. and lots of other stuff at Team Ninja is MS-funded as well...
MS funded games should mean a NO NO on other platforms.. (MS learned the hard way... they haven´t forgot the whole Level5 debacle)

Hopefully a mod noticed this.
On a totally unrelated note, how did this thread become a means to 100 posts for junior trolls from gamefaqs? No matter how many times I leave this thread alone for an hour, it continues to "impress"
And to kaching- agree to disagree here. I think this early in the console cycle a lot of decisions are made based on sales results....even of a single title. see: PS2.
Anyways, troll away Juniors! 100 posts is only a troll away!

Heh, just making fun of "The Bouncer Effect". Clearly any game with little competition scheduled around it, that happens to sell well must owe those sales solely to the lack of competition... right?cvxfreak said:You mean CODE: Veronica?
CODE: Veronica was the first of several returns of the RE series to the PS2 console

Especially since Capcom has the extra advantage of being able to draw from their other IPs for ideas to use in any sequel they come up with. A quick trip to an open book/clothing store and Frank could be sporting an all new moveset from Street Fighter, Breath of Fire, or even Devil May Cry. His ability to alter his style is one of the key aspects that make the game so fun.
Awesome news that Dead Rising is creating this much demand, and that Capcom is digging this - more new IPs for the 360 please Capcom!
Can't wait to see the sales - this game really, really deserves its success, and I hope that it means more Capcom support...
I expect the same with Lost Planet as well too!

Dead Rising has gotten trolled since released.
Dead Rising sells well, and the trolls increase.
The current Dead Rising game is confirmed exclusive, and even more trolls show up.
Yesterday I returned my free rental and tried to buy it at Game Rush. Sold out. Then I went to Best Buy, and bought their last floor copy (including end caps and displays).

How do you know that these games are MS-funded do you mean an exclusitivty contract or actually funded the project almost like a producer?

After beating NG a few weeks ago (for the first time, I didn't have an xbox, so I played it on 360) I will post a little comparison.
NG has better combat/gameplay.
NG has better graphics.
NG is more intense.
NG has better platforming (what little of it there is)
---------------------------------------
DMC has a better story
DMC has way cooler level designs and environments. They look so inspired and are fascinating to fight in.
DMC has better music
DMC has better voice acting
So there you go. I think it's settled. They're both equally good. DMC has the more artistic approach (pretty much a standard of capcom action games nowadays) while TN's game, NG, has a more gameplay and super fun approach.

Oh, and I really hope what this guy heard at the conference is true.
DMC4 on 360 is awesome. Now one less reason to buy a PS3. Last thing left: MGS4 multiplatform :lol

Wasn't there some talk from Sony that they were shunning third-part moneyhats this gen and instead investing that money in their first-part development?

i like to play the superior version of games thank you
NG = flip around like ninja SLASH SLASH
DMC = COMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Purely a matter of preference, I prefer flipping out myself.
Anyway this is a GOOD THING, New IP for the Win. Always. We need fresh blood desperately. I hope Lair, Bully, Mass Effect, Heavenly Sword, Lost Planet, Saints Row, all do well.
Capcom has shown by far the most hustle, they seem to have tried a brand new development process that allows for maximum reuse of assets and code and it has worked out amazingly well for them. Good stuff Capcom, you should be proud.
