Yes. But I just don't see Konami making any real changes from where they left off with the Xbox. The 360 lineup is more of the same garbage, sans Pro Evo/Winning Eleven, if you like football. But really, the best Konami games have a huge potential 360 audience IMO and they will probably ignore it, to their detriment. Capcom, clearly will not and they will make huge bank in the process. Good for them for thinking outside their Japanese corporate offices. Truly, its Inafune. The guy just gets it, period. He has been thinking outside the box for a few years now and he will definitely be looking like the brilliant mind now at Capcom for apealling to Western tastes.

With the newly released special edition in Europe, and the GH pack being released in the states soon, DMC3 should be able to hit 2 million worldwide sold. Making it the best selling action game globally in it's class -- that and God of War. BTW, I get my DMC sales (and any other Capcom games) from their IR websites. Capcom makes shit public, might as well take advantage of it.

dmc3 has been out for how long now? And with how many potential customers?

Oh, forgot about that one. Another DDR game...icecream said:That's made by Hudson, just published by Konami in the US.
But then you can say DDR: Universe!
Can I, um, get a wallpaper of that?icecream said:Lies.
cant see how people are surprised
even onimusha 3 did something like 1.3m and that was considered a bomb and dead rising is way more mainstream than most capcom games
dunno why xbots want dmc4 tho... have you guys even played a dmc game like ever? oh well if ps3 would get lost planet i guess it would be a fair trade

Dead Rising is more appeailing than both DMC and Onimusha. It is one of the best new IP's Capcom has come up with in several years.

Yes I played the last 3 games on my PS2. I bought one at launch. It was priced like a games console. So I bought it.

ps2 was $299, 360 is $399 so i guess thats not priced like a games console then :lol
what's that? $100 more is noting? well then im happy to tell you a ps3 with hdmi and other cool stuff is only $100 more than the 360 so it's nothing to whine about, right? rolleyes.gif
at least come up with a good reason for you camp switching, snatches :lol
K_S said:
I paid for a next gen console already. So I don't need to buy a ps3 until must have exclusives are out. Look at the threads I posted last fall and early this year to see that I didn't have a "camp" at all until Sony's announcements at e3.
anyhoops. gotta go. weekend time.

Honestly I really hope I am wrong, but I don't believe LP will be anywhere near as appealing to the masses as Dead Rising, unless it just gets only 9's and 10's from every reviewer out there. Even if it's a better game. That's because the overall "look" of Dead Rising, "zombies in a mall", is extremely appealing, especially in North America, to just about everyone. But LP is more of a hardcore gamer's game. Not to mentin by the time this game comes out there will be a lot of other great AAA choices.
Again I hope I am wrong.
Dead rising is rated Z in Japan and is still selling well and apparently selling systems down there. There must be something REALLY right about this game for it to get the Japanese buying systems. I think they're at like 2,000 360's a week which is by and large their best showing since launch, and it's all because of this game. I think Capcom has a hit on their hands. If they can come out with Dead Rising 2 for the next holiday period, maybe around November or December, they should make a killing. And, next time, they can censor the $hit out of it so the Japanese and German rating boards won't have any problem with it, which would equal more sales.

I agree. If RR was a bigger franchise among Xbox fans, it would have automatically sold better. But do consider that not every RR fan liked the game. I like it for what it is, but it's not the RR I was hoping for. Secondly, I don't think there's not a lot to the gameplay, graphics, music, etc. that would pull any non-RR fan into the game.
This is not correct, RR's mechanics have changed in many significant areas. First of all, the game's main draw has been altered to mimic the drifting in Ridge Racers for the PSP. The PSP version put your drifts on rails, so it took far less skill to drift. There is a skill required to make the most of your drift...but as far as entering and exiting the drift properly, it was made trivial.
Secondly, nitro was added to the game, adding a whole new dynamic to the races.
In all, it's completely different from any other console RR game. If RR fans wanted something different, they got it! Myself on the other hand, didn't want this dumbed down drifting nonsense. Again, I'm not saying it lacks skill, as it does require skill in different areas (as in at what angle you enter the turn with the drift, and how you control it), but not the same types of skills as in previous games (which on the whole was harder and more rewarding).
The cars were clearly not real cars. Perhaps that did mean less interest as some gamers want to drive real cars from real manufacturers? As far as how realistic looking they are, in contrast to the gameplay...I don't think any gamer would actually do that.
I can't argue my side with any evidence against this point, but I do think most people would agree with me.
Well I sorta agree with the point that this game could have been better visually (despite looking excellent as-is), but there immedeate price drops on this game and it still didn't sell well.
The two games are completely different, I don't see RR fans suddenly moving to GT. It's like saying Outrun fans would all migrate towards SEGA GT...they are completely different games.
These are reasons why I think RR6 sold horribly.
-Lack of a demo for a good 6-8 months after it's release: An online demo at launch, during a phase where there weren't many, in fact I don't think there was ONE online demo), would have garnered much more attention. Secondly, the demo itself was ill-concieved. In the full game, you start out with slow cars, and the tracks are for the most part very wide and things don't get interesting until you get faster cars. That said, it should have offered faster cars, secondly it should have offered a more interesting course. The first course is quite bland from a graphical and racing POV.
-Graphics could have been better: The graphics for RR6 are amazing. Every texture is crisp, the overall look is sharper than PGR3, and it runs at a slick 60 fps! There are a whole lot of cars, and the cars themselves are modelled very well. The issues I have have more to do with art direction and some technical stuff. There was some multitexturing on the road that looks fabulous when you are awarded a car...but it was never used in any track (it is in some PS3 RR7 tracks). There are no realtime shadows, no self shadowing (could have at least put it on the player's car), no spec highlights (would have looked AWESOME), no multitextures on rock textures and such, and the smoke/particle effects could have been a lot better. The PS3 version is largely much the same...there are no improvements over the 360 version, besides the fact that the courses look more interesting. Anyways, if it had the things I mentioned, it would have been jaw-dropping and everyone would forget about PGR3.
-Lackluster gameplay: It's the gameplay from RR on PSP. Which was great for the PSP...but not on home consoles. People aren't looking for dumbed down gameplay. I still play RRV because it's by far a more rewarding game. Secondly, at the time, RRV's art was impressive. The game graphically impressed people and that can draw in a lot of people. RR6 on the other hand...it's hard to find graphical flaws, they did so many things RIGHT...but it's just not impressive to most people. Some simple things, like highlights, real-time shadows, multitextures...would have made a World of a difference and impress more people. Heck, some of the earlier courses were just plain and boring. Amazingly crisp textures, great draw distance...but just boring.
It's a decent game IMO. There's a lot to the game, the races can still get intense, but I can't get into the gameplay. I still play RRV because it just feels a whole lot better.
Nice, DR is best game released for the 360 since now.
Next one with best salles will be Los planet and with that numbers capcom will release DMC4 don't forguet that the game uses Ded rising engine but with 4 enemies instead 100... finally Re5 and with all of that we will make a party for reborn clover us a 360 second party :_D

There's no way Lost Planet won't sell well. It's got high visibility because of its demo, and it's got another demo on the way. Not to mention that it involves aliens, guns, and blowing shit up. It's going to sell great.

I mean, that's not funny at all. :|
You won't be missing anything by being unable to read the text. The only good story elements are in the cut-scenes and everything else has a nice arrow to direct you. If you somehow manage to get really confused, there's full faqs out there to help you along. Really, DR isn't something you should miss, especially for $40. The main part of the game is great, but overtime is OMFG fantastic, at least in my opinion. Capcom knew what they were doing making it a seperate mode to replay it at will.Mifune said:
As some one who couldn't read the text at all on my TV, I just wanted say I disagree with this. Without being able toAaron said:
1) read dialogue
2) read the mission objectives
the game becomes "follow the arrow". I'm interested in the story, and if Capcom gave everyone lines to say to me, then I want to read them. A game where all you do is follow an arrow around isn't very fun. I thought it was unplayable without being able to know what was going on, and I hated it. I realize this is a huge debate and we've had a few threads about it, but I urge anyone with an SD-TV to rent it first to make sure you can read it. I returned my copy after two hours of play, out $25.

For those who are not feeling Dead Rising, there is a coupon in Game Informer (the DMC4 issue) for 30% added trade in towards Gears and a few other things. I used it along with my More card yesterday trading in DR towards GoW and got $50.15. I paid $54 for DR when it came released (10% discount at Best Buy).
