@ThursdayNext: Meh. You can do that irl though...

MentalNote

@sits: good point! I thought that most of there games use the same engine though as Nirolak said

excel_excel

It would be nice to have an opportunity to play Dead Rising on PS3. Definitely day one purchase for me.

Snappywave

I'd have much rather had this than Lost Planet, but it's not a game where there's a deep compelling narrative you've missed by not playing the first, so just make DR2 multi-platform and everyone should be happy.

JudgeNutmeg

BTW, yes I know Saints Row is by Volition and not Capcom.

sits

@UbeWoll working on Postal 2: chaching! and if you didnt have a totally whack name id say you have a comment of the week right there!

shaunomacx

@excel_excel: Why split the code base? The DR engine is hopelessly average compared to the RE5 graphic engine, let alone multiplatform-optimised.

Porting DR to PS3 would be as useless as porting Saints Row to PS3 -- and DR is even older. Not to say either are bad games. It's just Capcom won't bother, they'll just work on DR2 for both systems.

RE5 engine is multiplatform.

Before you say a Wii port validates a PS3 port, the Wii port runs on a beefed-up RE4 engine. Capcom wouldn't bother releasing a sub-par/average looking PS3 game, but they will release a great looking Wii game.

sits

@excel_excel: I think they've been using the same engine for all of their 360/PS3 projects except the fighting games, well, and two Unreal Engine 3 games I think.

Nirolak

@Winterbringer: Right right. A moddable PC port would be dandy as well. :D

ShaggE

Just forget Dead Rising ports and make Dead Rising 2

Winterbringer

@sits: beefed up RE5 engine? I thought they'd be using say....a beefed up version of the Dead Rising engine

excel_excel

I've got my money ready for Capcom the moment it's released.

Valaris

@PapaBear434: Maybe you'll be able to beat people to death with a PS3?

ThursdayNext

The person who made the comment said they have it for 360... it is entirely possible he is just saying Dead Rising 2 right?

iFlash

I didn't even bother to buy this for the 360. Demo was fun for a little bit but I always thought I would wait for a sequel to come out that kicks its ass.

Refused

@Jojuinc: AAAAGGGHHHH!!!! *jumps through window*

excel_excel

DR2 on PS3/X360 running on beefed-up RE5 engine. It's pretty frickin' obvious.

sits

I'm all in favour of multi-plat. It gives everyone a chance to try out some great games. Personally, I was never that interested in Dead Rising, so I won't be picking this up. Code-y's Overlord was a welcome port though, as is Bioshock, it's a trend I'd like to see more of.

ThursdayNext

OH THANK YOU! PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE! CAPSLOCK!

Seriously. This game is responsible for three of the five of my dead 360's. Ironically, they did NOT come back in a semi-working zombie form. But even still, this game is by far my favorite of this entire generation, but I am nervous to play it anymore due to the fizzle-factor I've had with the 360.

Plus, you KNOW it would have some sort of "exclusive" content. Yeah, it might just be an extra store somewhere in the mall, or something small and possibly lame like that, but it's still something. Right?

PapaBear434

I'd buy Dead Rising on PS3 any day.

ChinChinPaiPai

@Candlejack: Why beat a dead horse? Because it's in a mall. That's why!

UbeWoll working on Eternally Retold: A Soul Calibur Tale

Better late than never.

UbeWoll working on Eternally Retold: A Soul Calibur Tale

But I don't even want recycled 2 year old titles. I'm really sorry to say this. I know many like the game (I hated it) but shouldn't they have played it on 360 by now? I just don't see the point anymore, this game is like 2 years old now.

They should rather make Dead Rising 2 for 360 & PS3 simultaneously. This is like the Lost Planet thing. Really, nobody cares too much. Most of these "series" of games weren't/aren't on PS3 because it wasn't out at the time. So why beat a dead horse.

Oh right, to make more money. Nevermind all of that what I said.

Candlejack

@excel_excel: No one!

Jojuinc

Dead rising on ps3? Why not dead rising 2 on everything?
Capcom going multiplatform is nothing new (remember how funny that whole megaman 9 is wii only thing was), new games are worth getting excited over.

penty85

"You haven't seen the last of Dead Rising."

Personally, I'd much rather have this refer to Dead Rising 2 than a PS3 port of Dead Rising.

Nirolak

Well the UK PS2 mag confirmed it and if you can't trust a 'official' Sony mag...who can you trust!?

excel_excel

How can it be confirmed and a rumour?

SamL_

Yes, Dead Rising for EVERYONE!

More sales=DEAD RISING 2!

GOGOGOGOGO!

Hyperfludd

@excel_excel: Yeah, the RE5 engine is probably a years-advanced version of what was started on DR1, that's true.

So this pretty-much validates what you said earlier: the DR2 graphical engine will probably be a beefed-up DR1 engine -- by way of being the RE5 engine as well along the way.

sits

@excel_excel: Yeah, the RE5 engine is probably a years-advanced version of what was started on DR1, that's true.

Which technically validates what you said earlier: the DR2 graphical engine will probably be a beefed-up DR1 engine -- by way of being the RE5 engine as well along the way.

And while we're at it...A Dead Rising MMO? :D

Arnold Rimmer's Garden Strimmer

I couldn't play the game because the small font bothered me too much.

MisterMcThursday

Would love to see DR on PS3 but would rather just wait for DR2. I need more ZOMBIES!

boots555

If they port it, then maybe then can hire someone to figure out a control scheme that actually works. It must have the absolute worst control scheme I have ever encountered. Two different styles for aiming? And one based on the LEFT stick? It's like they've never seen a modern controller before.

They must have had a right old chuckle, making it both impossible to aim firearms, then filling the game with bosses that require precision aiming with firearms to defeat.

stoneagedan

@Candlejack: well if it is for *money*, which I'm pretty sure it is, let's just hope it's not a sub-par (borderline terrible) port ala Lost Planet for the PS3.

*shudders* at the framerate. Actually I'm mimicking how the framerate ran at some points on the game. :P

Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!

@MR. FAP★FAP!: I know what you mean, but I believe the RE4 engine has been split off on it's own Wii-optimised code base.

sits

@sits:
RE5 engine is pretty much just a beefed up RE4 engine already, though.

MR. FAP★FAP!

Sequel please! I don't want a 2 year old port, thanks anyway.

Đipic

@kylo4: There's no real reason. I'm guessing it's xbox exclusive mainly because the PS3 wasn't out at the time.

However, the more people working on Dead Rising PS3, the less people working on (hopefully) Dead Rising 2 360/PS3.

Grive

One of my last reasons to prefer X360 over PS3 is about to go in smoke...

Seriously, I am more and more inclined to buy PS3.

Barts

@sqoon: no I'm not

OGheart

@Candlejack: Dead Rising is one of only a few Xbox titles that make me wish I owned a 360. I took the PS3 route myself, and I'm absolutely ecstatic to hear that soon I'll get to have a go myself at bashing some zombie brains. I may love it, I may hate it, but it's hard to tell until I actually get the opportunity to play it. Soon, I may get that chance. I don't feel I'm the only person in this situation, either. So please don't think there's not a demand. :)

Also, what's up with the name Candlejack? It reminds me of that old nur

Mokai

I don't see why they can't port it over, it's been out for awhile now. I think there's a market for it on PS3, those that only have that system.

kylo4

I hope they scrap that rubbish "set it in Vegas" idea. It was stupid in the latest Resident Evil movie, it'll be stupid in Dead Rising. I'd much rather prefer Frank getting to play around in the city the mall was in...the one you fly over in the chopper at the start of the 1st game. A similar small town, maybe even like the one in 30 Days of Night (but just less snowy) would be great too.

Oh and please, for the love of cheeses and every vein in my head I'd like to avoid popping, don't include nuisance characters like chatty-sally, Otis or timed-missions where I have to pull up a giant wrist watch + giant arm every five seconds or escort missions where I have to herd cats in a bag down escalators and across convict-infested parks. Please.

Mr.Bates

i'd love to see it on the ps3. but if it was ever going to happen, why port to the wii [i]first[/i]

@OGheart: are you being ironic ?

sqoon

I still get the feeling that if they were going to port it that they would have done so much earlier than this.

Scythed

Ps3 cant handle all teh zombies

OGheart

Excellent. Port to the PS3 & Wii= Sales

Sales=Series Interest.

Series Interest= New game in series!

Dead Rising 2 is coming soon~

Hyperfludd

The integrity of Dead Rising still stands in my book, I never got rid of my copy and I still enjoy playing it. Sorry to any PS3 owners that haven't played it yet but I'm more hopeful that they are just working on the next game and not a port of the first one... THROW THESE ZOMBIES SOMEWHERE NEW!

theuglyteradon

@SG79: Very interesting. Thanks for bringing this up.

sits

This is mostly a given. Either they release Dead Rising 2 for both consoles or they re-release the first one the PS3 first.

Hey maybe they're planning on releasing DR1 and 2 on the PS3 at the same time!

Come to think of it, wouldn't it be awesome if Capcom included The Night of the Living Dead movie in the Blu-Ray disc with this game (or DR2). Or maybe even a bundled movie wouldn't be bad either. Doesn't have to be Romero's classic. It can be 28 days/weeks later, etc.

Capcom likes money. This game has nor reason not to appear on the PS3.

excaliburps

It was explained once by one of Capcom's engineers that DR runs on an older version of the MT Framework engine. Basically before they made a PS3 version, and that's why LP was ported instead.

In other words, porting it would require more effort/money than it's worth.

SG79

@MR. FAP★FAP!: scratch that. It's probably part of a second-tier code base specifically aimed towards PS2/PSP/Wii development.

I don't think Capcom runs a single in-house scalable engine that works across all systems.

All speculation.

sits

I really hope that means theirs a sequel on the way.

okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under)

It would only really be worth it they added extras over the original, and by that I mean more than just shaking the SIXAXIS/DS3 when a zombie bit you... Improved savepoints is also what most would be crying out for. I didn't have a problem with them, but others did.
That said "chop till you drop" on the wii is a must rent/might buy for me.

Mr.Monkey

@Barts: Personally I think it's worth owning all 3 current-gen consoles if you have the money. All of them have some real gems, and they aren't going to get in a big fistfight under the TV just because they come from different companies.

I still tend to get my multi-plat titles on the 360, but since I have a much bigger friends list on that platform it's more because of the social aspect as opposed to a "superior" platform.

NateN

It better be a sequel, even if it was the only game that I unlocked all the achievements, if it gets ported, it's 2 years old. I had a lot of fun playing that game, mindless slaying of zombies is always fun.

If they added another playable character to play like they did in Lost Planet, heck, I'll probably buy it. I put more time on that game alone, than all my other 360 games combined.

zerokoolpsx

PC version please?

Karlott

Wait a sec, Bioshock is one thing but the Dead Rising I mean is that a joke? maybe if they port it to the ps2

Fenian

Dead Rising is one of the few games I've really wanted from the 360 library.

Similar to excaliburps thinking, I'm hoping they release a Dead Rising 2-pack bundle with the original game (plus bonus content of some kind) and the sequel.

Mr_Pointy

You guys arent missing out on much. Dead rising isnt that great of a game. You think its like GTA but in a mall with zombies, and its not. It wasn't fun at all imo.

CCCombobreaker

to be honest. The game isn't that great. now that we are no long next-gen drunk with graphics and the hype of a new generation of systems dead rising should not come to the ps3 because it simply isn't worth 60 dollars.

Xtreme_Hindu_Cow

Literally the only game I want from the 360 library. Well, eventually I'll want some of those Square RPG's like Tales of Vesperia, but I will be quite happy with Dead Rising on the PS3.

I know Capcom hates Sony, but I have money in hand waiting for the day it arrives. You like money, don't you Capcom?

LittleBigPlaneteer

Look, all these ports are fine and all, I just want a sequel all ready. I must have new malls to demolish, more evening dresses to stuff masculine heroes into, more lawn mowers to push!

Rebochan

I didn't think it was as great as everyone claimed it to be (this happens a lot with console exclusives, go figure!) but I'd still happily pick up a sequel.

Wolfers

Obligatory: The PS3 has covered wars, you know.
(Cue cutscene of Solid Snake & Frank)

Seriously, though, everyone has their favorite consoles here and there; I, for one, have viewed with distaste many of Sony's console design decisions since the original Playstation. HOWEVER, I dislike console exclusivity for the sake of exclusivity. If you can give me a good, solid technical reason why a game can only exist on one console vs. another, that's the way life goes. Otherwise, exclusivity simply hurts my fellow gaming brothers and sisters who cannot or just will not have every single console littering their entertainment center.

For this reason, I hope that this means Dead Rising will be arriving for the PS3 (or, barring that, DR2 for all the consoles). And while we're at it, who is responsible for making sure RezHD shows up on PSN? Has it? If not, why not? Everyone should play it. While we're at it, port it to WiiWare as well! Get the pitchforks!

</soapbox>

Jazhuis

@Nirolak: I think this may refer to a sequel as well.

peacefuloutrage

If it has a proper save system I´ll buy it in a heartbeat.

Bumbuliuz

Dead Rising is one of my favorite games on the 360. So if it comes to PS3 with less laoding screens and more features I will be all for it.

AEREC

@Viciouschan: to add

With online play

Viciouschan

how about both dead rising on the PS3 and Dead Rising 2 on EVERYTHING!

Viciouschan

All for this, makes a sequel a lot more likely. Plus you know, more people playing good games=awesome.

TearsandScreams

I LOOOOOOOVED Dead Rising on the 360. It is one of 3 games I really missed from my now sold X360 (The others were Gears of War and Crackdown).

So I hope this rumor is true.

DoggySpew

Like many said, I think a port for Dead Rising is a bit too late, why not DR2?

jocaju

Dead Rising is the only reason I've ever considered buying a 360. I've been hoping for a PC release, but I wouldn't say no to a PS3 port :P

Koztah

Seriously capcom? All will be forgiven if this ends up on PS3... Oh, and if we have at least ONE exclusive from you guys (only fair, 360 still has lost planet sequel)

@Oyn: No guarantee the sequal is gonna be good... It's not being handled in-house This one is guaranteed to be good, though not guaranteed to be a good port...

bobtheduck

They'd be smart to not bother porting the first one but rather have the sequel be multi-platform.

Oyn

If they do have it for PS3, I hope they add something in for the long wait like an option for a "lighter" time limit. That or Dead Rising 2 for the 360 which I've been waiting to hear about since the first came out. Either way, just knowing that there's more to come should be enough. Both sound awesome.

Either way, it means more people get to shoot more zombies ^_^

SylvyLombax

@sits: DMC4, Lost Planet, and DR all run on the original DR engine. They just improve it everytime. SO the DR engine would probably be used.

KaoKing

Capcom going multi-plat? I'll believe THAT one just as soon as I see a Monster Hunter on PS3....

MightyKAC

Present:

360 Phanboy says "Dead Rising is one of the best reasons to own a 360. Its great times."

PS3 Fanboie says "Dead Rising looks crappy and has last gen graphics and looks like boring, repetitive gameplay."

After PS3 version announced:

360 Phanboy says "Dead Rising was ok, but the graphics weren't that great and the gameplay was sorta boring, repetitive."

PS3 Fanboie says "Yes! We can finally play Dead Rising! And with Blu Ray and the Cell, it'll be even better than ever!"

Why do I come here ......

Don't worry. We're working on something for you US Monster Hunter fans.

sad thing is that something for you US monster hunter fans doesn't sound too much like MH3 back in production but another PSP version/US 2nd edition of the last one

FP Bleentastic has cake

God. They should have done that in the first place.

If they had, by now we would have had an in-house sequel, since it would have actually SOLD in Japan and Capcom, therefore, would have considered it a success instead of a 'Western market game.'

Seems like a decision slow to the punch. BUT. A PS3 Dead Rising late to the game is better than no PS3 Dead Rising.

I really want Capcom to focus more attention on this as a franchise... hopefully this is what they are coming around to. Still trembling in fear at the thought of a shit American developed sequel.

sir_carrot

i dont think the first one will come out on ps3 but the second one along with a 360 version like saints row

rob61920

might as well do dead rising 2 for everything than remake an almost 2 years old game

mcool93

I don't think PS3 owners would fork out full price for this game given the age of it and the amount of complaints from 360 users about the retarded save game system (and I am one of those users).

Looking back I would say it wasn't worth spending the full amount on this game and I am sure most PS3 users would feel the same.

I am sure Dead Rising 2 will end up on both the 360 and PS3 (and all household appliances).....

...and the Wii (Dead Rising 2: Shake, Waggle & Roll anyone?)

dcuk7

PS3 owners shant want it. I played it for 3 hours (mostly watching loading screens) before I couldn't take any more of that utter crap. I recieved 1 achievement in the process.

RaepGoblin

verrrrrrry interesting... this was one of those neat games that i liked- but didn't quite like enough to want to pay full price for it. if they fixed a lot of the minor flaws with the original experience and lowered the price- and of course this is assuming they managed a "quality" port (i.e. NOT Lost Planet PS3 edition)- then i could see this doing REALLY well on PS3.
of course i think it's just as likely (if not more so) that they are just working on a multiplatform sequel that will completely outdo the original and will simultaneously release on all platforms.
i guess they could port the first one, though- seeing as how capcom ported RE4 to Wii over 2 years after the original release. in any case- it looks like some (eventual) good news for us PS3 fans.

laser beams

It's coming, and I'm glad. I hope they make tons of improvements and add LOTS of PS3-exclusive content, like BioShock.

Xemnas

Dead Rising was a great game... graphically and mechanically it had a high degree of polish, and it was the first 'next gen' title of the 360/PS3 era that really hooked me.

Which is not to say it was perfect, it was not. Otis, the black janitorial analog of Ocarina of Time's Navi, was a particular problem. Certain controls could have been made better, inventory management in particular. But the core gameplay was solid, and fun as all hell.

If they ported this game to the PS3, I'd snap it up. I'm LESS excited about the Wii version, but I may end up getting it anyway, based on the 'free targeting' screenshots I've seen. RE4 on the Wii was fun, after all.

But mostly I am beside myself with anticipation for the sequel. Please, Capcom, I need to fulfill my dual driving urges... my need for violence, and my need for STUFF!
It is my fond hope that even if the sequel takes us beyond the mall, that it at least has a mall IN IT. Perhaps the world's BIGGEST mall.... which becomes the last enclave of humanity? Hm?

Insomnia Bob

Screw the POS3 where's my PC release?

JoshuaC

@excel_excel: Aren't those the same morons that "confirmed" Left 4 Dead on the PS3?

OutsideTheBox

@NateN: You see, money problems aside (it does cost a bunch to own them all with original games here in Poland - salaries are lower and prices higher), I just don't have as much time for gaming as I used to and for the most part my PC + PSP combo works just fine.

PC for that home gaming, PSP for travels.

Other than that, I just didn't see that many games on either platform to encourage me to take a jump. Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Geometry Wars, Heavenly Sword, Everyday Shooter, PixelJunk Eden, Braid, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Orange Box and that's pretty much it.

Now, most of those are available for PC, so for the time being I m not really too tempted to make a jump. Still, PS3 is slowly beginning to unwind, and while I actually always thought it's X360 that is going to win, MS's habit of porting everything to Windows combined with RRODs has left me thinking more and more about actually buying Sony behemoth.

Barts

Oh, I really hope so! I really want Dead Rising for the PS3.
