Topic: Capcom announces Dead Rising 2

[Stratos]

I think that they are waiting to see the performance of Dead Rising 1 on Wii before announcing the sequel. If it garners decent sales then they will go ahead with the sequel.

The sad thing is that there have been several quality games released by big companies that have flopped in regards to sales.
Okami, Zack and Wiki and Godfather are noteworthy ones.

I have a fear that these big releases for Wii like Tenchu, Deadly Creatures, HOTD and Dead Rising are all going to fail and if MadWorld and Conduit also falter then we can kiss a lot of possible games goodbye. I truly hope I'm wrong, but it could all crash quickly.

Perhaps they should just have gone straight for the sequel...

But then we'd miss out on the story from the first. Also they may learn a lot during this project that they could pass on the the sequel to make it an even better Wii game.

You mean make a better HD game then try to backwards-develop that for Wii?

Wii can't do HD. Or are you implying something for another system?

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I mean make a better 360 game so there might be something to port/crap to Wii 2 years later, making the initial HD version look like it should've been the only version to bother making at all.

lol

Hey, I have no clue about what story -or lack thereof- Dead Rising has since I've only seen videos of both versions. Never played it.

I'd like to play the first one before the second one. I'm not part of the Dead Rising Boycott so I'm keeping my mind open like I do with most games I have yet to play that are not even released yet.
