--Core-- — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 03:33:47 MST

I am really curious why there not doing the game in house? I mean what's the point of pushing it to a third party? Will they really accomplish anything with this move?

Maybe someone would be kind enough to answer?

Personally it does not make sense to me, that's like (If you could) handing someone else your goals/ambition and saying "Go for it" When you know, you could do a better job of getting where you want to be.

The rumor is true. And they are doing the whole game, not just part of it. They are just beggining to ramp up for it.

Mister Adequate — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:12:22 MST

I want a bigger area and I want to be just trying to survive in it. I do NOT want a storyline beyond the one I create for myself in the process of playing. I want a big city that starts out like it was a GTA game, and then throws in a block full of zombies to get started. And then it's a freeform sandbox game. I wrote a huge thing on this awhile ago with some good ideas, but I can't seem to find it right now. I'll have to track it down.

@Anemone: Best post in the whole thread.

All the lawsuit talk made me fire up the game last week and I finally got to Level 50. Frank has mad ninja skills, I never knew how much I'd enjoy disemboweling zombies, cultists, and SWAT teams.

The sequel will be an instant purchase.

This is Blue Castle's chance to show the industry that once you make a sports title, it's not the only thing you can do. I'm pretty sure from all their hiring posts on gamasutra and gamedev.net back in November that it'll be a completely different team than The Bigs. Of course, if the rumors are true. Here's to hoping you guys don't blow it :)

I just hope it *is* being made.

I hope a nobody studio makes it and it's a massive multiplatform success for them that makes a gazillion dollars and that someone makes a whole bunch of DR merchandise including an Otis pinata.

Optimism around here seems to level off at "I hope it doesn't suck"...

@Collapse The Control:

Actually, I found the save system to be one of the best things about the game.

I know theres a lot of complaints against it, but the ability to save only in bathrooms or the security room made the game TENSE.

The lack of autosave or checkpoints meant you had to haul ass back through shitloads of zombies just to get someplace safe. There was always that feeling of 'i might not make it' which kept you biting your lip the whole way.

Brought me back in time, memory wise. To ye difficult games of old.

And add multiplayer!

I'll take it.

JediMaster — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:20:21 MST

I think that it's not necessarily bad a foreign dev team, develop this game. Konami gave Silent Hill 5 to another team (American one) and the game looks freaking amazing.

I think that it doesn't matter who is going to develop, as long it is a good developer, and the game must have capcom supervision, so... no need to freak.

I am playing Dead Rising now, I bought the game a few days ago, and I think it is one of the best games ever made by Capcom. I am so going to buy Dead Rising 2 in day one.

If DR2 is 360 exclusive too, I will seriously burn down Capcom's offices... They took away monster hunter 3 (completely) and Devil May Cry 4 (exclusivity) and gave us a really pathetic port of a really pathetic former 360 exclusive in exchange... Way to screw us over, Crapcom. Gah... I want Dead Rising 2, damn it! Come on, new developer...

@VileMethoD: You can't go from making a sports title to an amazing action game without previous experience.

So how do you go about that transition? Hmmm...

I think they should make a zombie baseball game with 50 players a side, call it The Zigs, then make the natural transition to Dead Rising 2.

okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:17:02 MST

@Witzbold: I thought about this and I think that it may benefit from having a western dev house flesh out part two even more since it was originally a Capcom experiment. The general vision is solid but there were still a few quirks that prevented this from being perfect that a western developer might have a better eye for such as interaction mechanics, save/menu system, story, and co-op. These guys may do it well or they may muck it up. There's no real gain in thinking they might fail so I which them the best (if the rumor is true) and I hope they hit it out of the (amusement) park ;D

@underthechestnuttree:
...and somehow a sports game dev is going to fix the problems Capcom couldn't? I don't follow, man. If this was the guys behind Bioshock, or even Bungie, I could see people thinking this is a decent idea. But this dev is so untested, and their last game was so mediocre and blah that it's hard to see anything but negativity in it. I just can't see them doing anything good with this concept.

Especially with Western devs' insistence on combat over everything else, when Dead Rising was more about survival than it was about killing everything in their path. I would cry if the sequel ended up being Gears of Dead Rising.

ahh sorry for the third comment (i know it's ban monday, but have a heart)

The weapon degredation in dead rising? CMON! is this 1988? If there is going to be weapon erosion with use, 'next-gen' it, make it realistic, animated, based on types of use,. etc... I know they didnt have the new features of Havok when the first dead rising was made, but (probably) they never hsould have had weapon degredation.

I'm kinda glad. Dead rising was great, but there were a few major things that bugged me. I dunno about anyone else but I found guns to be worthless due to bad control. As long as its along the same lines (Big zombie filled area with everything as a weapon) I'm sure it will be great.

underthechestnuttree — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:10:40 MST

@Archaotic: actually, I do not think Capcom did the concept of 'dead rising' justice. It suffered from terrible play mechanics and execution, topped off by the unlisted HDTV requirement. IT was such a great idea, but the controls, no-voice-over, and unintuitive gameplay was god-awful. Frankly I'm glad this is going to a north american developer: I'm not sure if zombies were born there, but they definately perfected them.

@Archaotic: Worrying about someone screwing up a property you enjoy is natural, but every team started out as untested nobodies at one time.

If the news is true, I assume this dev was selected for a reason(probably price) and I'm sure Capcom will be reviewing the title extensively during the development process so it does not damage their brand.

HJungle — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:01:24 MST

I fear this rumor. What drove the game home to me was the "Made in Japan" charm. Nothing felt forced, in fact it all felt like a labor of love. It reminded me of Ill Bleed. There's something about an eastern game that pays homage to western cinema that's just...charming (at least with horror games. Snatcher's another good example).

Of course, I'm going to sound like a total idiot if I'm off on this and the games were developed by Jimmy USA and company but it's too late for fact checking.

Whoever gets DR2, if there will be such a thing, better be serious fans. At least, that's what I hope for.

Dead Rising is one of my favorite games of all time, and I've only ever played it on my friend's system - since I didn't have one when it came out. Now, I have one, and I'm waiting for the day when I can borrow it and actually finish what I started.

Running through the service tunnels with a crippled girl hanging onto me for dear life was so amazingly fun, with all the near-misses of being tackled by zombies and such. He's a big, ugly lug of a guy, but damn can he pull off some amazing feats of fortitude.

Then, it'd be using a minigun on the convicts with humvee.

Anyway I'm absolutely mortified that the sequal will be horrible. I might even cry.

If it were Bungie, I could understand reluctance to want to develop this for the Ps3-It would probably triple development times. But these guys have learned how to multi-task, they could pull it off pretty easy.

VileMethoD — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:27:56 MST

No offense intended to Blue Castle but I don't think they are capable of handling a game such as this. It's not a subtle switch for them. You can't go from making a sports title to an amazing action game without previous experience. The expectations and standards they will be held to by gamers far surpass what they are able to do. That's just my opinion. I hope this rumor turns out to be false.

It seems to me that Capcom is outsourcing games that either have done well in America, or potentially will do well in America, with Okami as the exception.

Oh well, as long as the games are good I won't mind. I'd prefer however Inafune to work on DR2 since he said he wants to, I assume he has a vision for it. I'd like to see that.

@zwilliams07: Why? You don't think that a series targeted at Western gamers could be properly handled by a team of Western developers? It seems unlikely that Capcom would just throw the IP at them and say "Have at it." Odds are that Capcom of Japan would have some say in how it turns out.

Well this series may end up dead. No pun intended.

Although the least they can do is make a section of the game where enemies you defeat dont RESPAWN EVERY TIME YOU RE-ENTER! Im looking at you excaped prison convicts who somehow managed to get a military jeep into the center area of a mall with no visible way to actually accomplish such task with out the use of some sort of teleportation device or a helicopter

Sometimes it takes an outside view to make something better.

I wouldn't consider handing over Dead Rising to an American developer a total failure. Hot dog arms aside, the games taken up by American developers all look good, so I trust Capcom.

Besides, all they gotta do is make the text readable, throw in a million zombies and let me go crazy. How could they possibly mess it up?

The save point system is something that'd likely be addressed first in a sequel, regardless of who makes it, as it was the biggest sticking point for a lot of reviewers.

And I think a lot of people wouldn't mind the outsourcing if it was being done by a team with proven talent. Instead we're getting rumors that the guys that made a mediocre, uninteresting sports game are making the sequel, so people are understandably wary and displeased.

@0Jigsaw: Why? What bonus do you get for not allowing other people to play it?

@Witzbold: We've seen outside teams do a good job on existing franchises in the past. Metroid comes to mind.

Perhaps I am one of the few that isn't completely enamored with Dead Rising. I enjoyed the game but never finished OT mode, because the constant hunt for a new weapon and save system was frustrating.

@IggyJReilly: If you do get an HD, choose carefully. The one I have, it's STILL hard to read the text on. An enormous improvement over my SD, but I still find myself squinting a bit. Rest of the game looks gorgeous in HD though.

@0Jigsaw:
Well, if this rumor ends up being true, the 360 can keep it. I don't think I'll touch the game unless it's by Capcom and multiplatform. There's just no way it'll work without Inafune developing it.

i fail to understand why Capcom wouldnt just let the same team make this game. It was near perfect the way it was, a it sold well over a million copies to boot!

Why mess with a working formula!?

@0Jigsaw:

I would. I didn't buy a 360 just for the first one because at the time it was the only game I wanted for it and even now I only want to play probably 5 games total out of the entire 360 library. So 2 won't get me to buy a 360 either.

@AnEternalEnigma: because you cant read any of the text in the game? i know i havent progressed past the first couple of story missions because ive given up on killing my eyesight trying to read the objectives. I have shelved that game till the day I buy an hdtv. I just find it totally incomprehensible that a game, which was otherwise fantastic, could make it out with text that hard to read.

I don't care who makes Dead Rising 2, I just want it, and for the Ps3 and/or PC.

I need Dead Rising so badly.

@beezdeez: Not trying to troll, but why would you need a strategy guide for Dead Rising?

Coldbrand — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:50:31 MST

Dead Rising is still my favorite on the 360, this game was fucking excellent. Custom Soundtracks was a big part of it, but just letting me lose to kill endless zombies with a baseball bat to Metallica or something is all I need in a game.

@0Jigsaw:
Capcom wouldn't make it because, according to Inafune, Capcom Japan was mad it didn't do well on their side of the ocean, regardless of its insanely good US/Euro sales.

So the rumor goes, at least. They just won't let him make a sequel even though he really wants to.

I just ordered a strategy guide for DR to replay again. I'm stoked. I just hope they don't fuck up the sequel.

Man why would Capcom not wait and make it! i am getting mad because Capcom should be making this. Dead Rising is one of my favorite 360 games.

well, at least they have all the assets from dead rising 1 to use, so it's not like they're starting from scratch. As much as I would love confirmation of dead rising 2, this doesn't seem to be what I was asking for...

@Witzbold:
It's a curse, Witzy. A terrible, terrible curse. It'd make my day if we get a from-Capcom Rumor Smash on this one...it really would, since today's been horrible enough as it is.

At work so much bad crap was happening I started referring to today as "Murphy's Law Day". Looks like I was right.

For some reason I think I will be bitter about Capcom whoring out the excellence that was the DR franchise forever.

Then again thats just me being a pessimist.

The bad part is Im usually right. :x

Archaotic — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:41:20 MST

This...would be terrible news. Not to insult Blue Castle or anything as I'm not really familiar with their work, but there's no way a company whose pedigree is in sports games would be able to do Capcom's work on Dead Rising justice.

C'mon, Inafune...make the game. Screw what Capcom Japan said, you even said you want to make the sequel, so make it!
