Hello Dead Rising 2 for PS3! woot

Thrizar

@MrBionic: Ever wonder why exclusives tend to be better than multi-plats? Optimization for the hardware buddy. Exclusives do more than fuel the fires of fanboyism (blame the haters, not the devs for making a game).

mfwahwah

Good call Capcom. . . @Pornosaur: I don`t think you sat down long enough with Dead Rising to really understand the game design. Yes, I admit, the annoying phone call every 2 seconds sends me into a furious rage, but the rest of it is meant to be difficult.
The game is designed for multiple run throughs and trying a different course each time. One of the few games these days thats actually difficult.

PITwelve

yay ?

AuthenticM

What took so long?

Schoolimangooli's backpack turns into a ham sandwich!

Good for Capcom...

Elemence

It didn't say there won't be any exclusives, just not on any of their major releases. Obviously this is more of a PS3 vs 360 issue. What Capcom game is out now besides Dead Rising that isn't on both Ps3 and 360? Honestly PS3 only owners, you're not missing much after about 45 minutes of Dead Rising gameplay. Now if they annoucned a Dead Rising 2 that fixed all the game ruining problems of the first and that was exclusive I'd understand the bitch.

Pornosaur

good for capcom. I like having choices.

CaptLtrl

@DustySword:

I think he has been stashing rounded fruits in there, most likely explaining the bulkiness of his arms.

Anyway, this is a good move by Capcom. I hope to see more game companies follow into this direction of multi-platform.

RtFusion

Let's reward Capcom with more money. Exactly what they are going to get by going multiplat with everything.

SpishackCola

Where's the Wii games?

Fryfat2

@LittleBigPlaneteer: See the thing is, I've been a fan of Nintendo since I was 4, I just want some good 3rd-party games for the company I guess worship lol (And hopefully work for some day.)

Besides I got a kick-ass PC for HD gaming.

MrMister

This is a good thing. Working towards the one day, far in the future, where there is only one console and people dont have to spend loads of money to play every game they want.

And yes, Dead Rising 2 please Capcom. OR ELSE.

Sam Smith

@LittleBigPlaneteer: So we can reward Capcom for their lunacy by buying their PS360 titles?

Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc

So…

MH3 on PS3?

i doubt it. But PSP will still get it

Accordion

Damn, his arms just keep getting bigger and bigger o_0

DustySword

DEAD RISING ON PC PLEASE

burpingcat

Multi-platform releases tend to make a boatload of money (see Assassin's Creed), companies like to make money, Capcom is a company.

SG_Mahonay

This is, methinks, the beginning of a trend amongst third parties. Development costs these days have just gotten too high for third party platform exclusives. So the first parties had better step it up.

Erinaceus

@Maldron: I didn't know "All major titles launched during the next fiscal year or thereafter will be developed as multi-platform games" also translates to Dead Rising PS3 confirmed.

There is a chance it will happen but they didn't confirm it.

Emiat

@Maldron: Thanks for the love! The sentiment is returned :)

Aex

@MrMister:

Aww, another disgruntled Wii owner. The Wii is a good secondary console, but step up and get yourself a primary one. The 360 just dropped to 199 you know :)

LittleBigPlaneteer

Note that they say 'All MAJOR titles...' Does that mean there's a chance for Street Fighter 2010 : The Final Fight Being a PS3 exclusive?

(10 points to anyone who gets the easter egg in this post)

Seriously though, if this is the way things are going - what is the point of having separate consoles - surely one machine to rule them all will be the answer..?

Shin-Kaiser

@Aex: Oooh, better example. I love you Aex.

Maldron

Fuck you Capcom, and your lack of Wii support.

Next-gen better have more Nintendo support from 3rd-party developers. I'm tired of having to wait fucking months/years for a new 1st party title without any other games for me while I wait. >:[

MrMister

@Rasz-42: You get arms that big from holding your gun like that, and cranking alot of random wheels that just happen to open doors that are blocking your path, and steroids lots and lots of steroids.

Detre

Does this mean Monster Hunter 3 is coming this year? Or does this mean that is it going multi-plat?

Aex

@Maldron: *If it gets delayed.

Maldron

You heard 'em folks, PS3 will get Dead Rising: Chop 'til you Drop.

Maldron

I see nothing in that sentence that would prevent them from doing timed exclusives. They do say they won't develop exclusively for one side which is nice I guess. But weren't most of Capcom's games this fiscal year multi-platform?

And since most games are in development for a few years, isn't this statement repeating the obvious? Obviously the games you have already announced as multiplatform are multiplatform. Or do they mean future game development?

On a side note, is it just me or does that bicep look abnormally large?

Rasz-42

bout time

gadjet

That's why we all love Capcom!

alecpyron

This is good news. All companies should be doing this. Why? Exclusivity is a tired old bone that should be thrown away. For far too long has it been the genesis of fanboy wars. Who needs it?

MrBionic

@thespyderboy: Probably don't count given the hardware requirements, unless the 360 waggle hits.

onidavin

Please make Dead Rising 2, so I can get it for the PS3 :D

(Also I wouldn't mind the first one Capcom)

LittleBigPlaneteer

what about Wii games? or do those not count....

thespyderboy

a good thing

FenderMaster

@Does Not Equal (ダズノット):

It means: " Capcom will be developing all its titles using its proprietary MT Framework development kit, which should make it easy to cross-compile to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms".

In other words, all three platforms will receive the same games.

The Wii is obviously different because of its different control scheme and hardware specs. I'd imagine the Wii will still get exclusives, probably in the form of modified versions of the "major titles" and smaller games developed specifically for it.

Personally, I'm happy about this decision by Capcom. I'm primarily a PC gamer, so having all of Capcom's major titles available on that platform is a definite plus.

Marlor

Capcom is great and I was overwhelmed with joy when I read the Xbox would get it's first taste at Resident Evil.

As for the comments on here, i'm glad to see so many people still talking about Dead Rising, it's a great game. I played through it at launch and I liked it but was also overwhelmed by the slight flaws and difficulty. 2 Years to the day I popped that bad boy in and had another go at it, a few days went by and I unlocked 15 more Achievements and had a great time doing it. Once you get the MegaBlaster it becomes a whole different game, lol.

Teamwork Takedown

Capcom, I love you. With all my heart. You just became my favorite developer. After Nippon Ichi, but you understand.

When I get my hands on Dead Rising 2 for PS3, though, this will change.

Narsil

Does this mean shitty ports to the Wii or shitty ports from the Wii?

Does Not Equal (ダズノット)

As someone who always ends up owning all systems, there's absolutely nothing wrong with 3rd party exclusives. They are the perks for owning said console, along with the 1st party titles. The real problem is the consumer who has nothing better to do than bitch about the console they do not own.

Does everyone really hope that in the end, all consoles have the same selections? Why not one console then as well?

Killtacular

@thespyderboy: No the Wii doesn't count because of it's hardware limitations and controller. I makes it hard to develop a game to be multi-platform effectively when said game is being made for systems that use different control methods/

Also I don't think the Wii counts because I don't like the system.. but I'll keep my Nintendo anti-fanboy comments to myself.

kojirodensetsu

@Mr.DuckSauce: Sarcasm*

Mr.DuckSauce

@Shin-Kaiser: Have you ever heard of a monopoly, anyone who thinks 1 console should happen is a genius.

Mr.DuckSauce

@Emiat: You have to use your thinking hat. If it's released in the next fiscal year, it's release should be multiplatform. Which would mean it could show up on the PS3.

You know. If you think ((read: wish)) real hard.

Maldron

@CHunterX: That's a poor example, that game was originally from the PS2. There's games for the Wii that wouldn't make for a very great experience on other systems because of the movement involved. Like WarioWare or Boom Blocks or the like. It's possible, but not very marketable.

onidavin

WTB Monster hunter on the PS3! lol.

Whilst I hope this doesn't become the trend, I do think its respectable of Capcom to openly state this instead of allowing the console makers to play the "wording" game to make it sound like certain games are coming out on their systems first/only. Like how MS (and recently Sony as well I think) pay to advertise multiplat games with only *their* logo at the end.

Good on you Capcom, for not playing the market, and just aiming for the gamers. *nod*

0rin

Wonderful, brilliant, awesome, fantastic. Capcom has jumped into the list of my most respected developers with this move, even though I don't find most of their games as awesome as other people.

Atheist Jew

@onidavin: Sorry for the double post, but anything on the Wii using the waggle could easily be converted into the right joystick of a PS3 or 360 controller, because at the end of the day, thats all waggle is. See: Okami.

CHunterX

Bonus points to Capcom for sanity.

GlibGamer

@PITwelve: I'm such a zombie nut I've tried multiple times to get into it. I've made a little farther each time on starting new games from the beginning. I imagine hell being the first "boss" battle in the food court trying to use an aiming recutile system even worse than the one they designed.

Pornosaur

@mfwahwah: I've never really bought into the false hype that exclusives are better than multi-plats.

I can't name a single one off the top of my head that is any better because of *exclusivity*.

MrBionic

Someone, anyone, PLEASE, you have to tell me if this includes Monster Hunter 3! Please, if it does, I will literally shit a house of bricks!

CHunterX

I'll keep dreaming of a joint venture between Sony and Microsoft's gaming divisions.

Keyword: Dreaming.

Wolfers

@Foxstar Sixtail: only if you define DMC4 and Lost Planet on the PC "Shitty".

MightyKAC

@cakeman19: Agreed I think that Somy saw this move comming by not just Capcom but ALL companies in the future. This is why they're more about exclusivity deals with specific developers (insomniac, Ready at dawn, Santa Monica ETC) then they are with specific games.

With that said though, it means that only a few games will use the PS3 to its fullest, which kinda sucks IMO.

MightyKAC

All hail teh Capcoms.

Other companies should do this too.

MCKWZ

@Marlor:Isn't Capcom infamous for having shitty PC ports tho?

Foxstar Sixtail

@kojirodensetsu:Thank you for having some tact.

@MrMister:Monster Hunter 3.

@Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc:I'm not rewarding Capcom for shitty ad support on Okami and Zack and Wiki. Nor am I rewarding them for poorly supporting Clover's titles with shitty ad support.

And all this means is Capcom wants to make more money. It makes me wonder if their financial statments for this year were less then healthy.

Foxstar Sixtail

This is fantastic news.

Konami next plz?

ncsbert

So when Megaman Legends 3 is finally released, it will have a chance to sell more than 12 copies. This is great news!

boxmyth

This is NOT a good thing. You can't fully take advantage of the hardware when a game is being developed for more than 1 console. This whole "Multi-plat" mentality all these 3rd parties are adopting is starting to get on my nerves.

I'm starting to think the PS3's full potential will never be realized, at least not by a 3rd party.

cakeman19

@Marlor: Oh, so the Wii ports will just come later on. I getcha.

Does Not Equal (ダズノット)

all major titles will be multiplatform....except on the wii. here, have this half assed small budget dead rising port with 15 zombies on screen, even though there are ps2 games with hundreds of people on screen(see hitman: blood money, ps2 version [www.gametrailers.com]) oops. excuse me. i meant to say re4 with dead rising skins!

bigman88zz

I don't care how "inferior" the Wii's hardware is or isn't. It's wrong and misleading to call something "Multi-Platform" and reference all consoles but not include the Wii. It's different - we get it. It's less powerful - we get it. But it doesn't mean it isn't a console and it doesn't mean it's not next-gen. All these friggin developers talk like the Wii doesn't exist. Just say it - you don't wanna develop for a platform that doesn't have amazing graphics. Geez.

-Age

Ageman20XX

@Foxstar Sixtail:

Some of them certainly have been in the past.

Hopefully things will change with the new focus on the MT Framework. It actually uses the PC as the primary development environment, with the 360 and PS3 versions being "ports" of the PC one. One would hope that the PC version will be OK, since it is the base for the other two.

Marlor

This is a good thing for every Cow, Lemming, and Sheep out there. Now, can we get past the petty bickering?

HT Tenrai

@Rasz-42: Yeah I thought so too. That bicep just looks enormous. Guess that's STARS' new training menu that gives those kind of results.

And good for the multi platform deal. I hope Square-Enix does so. I want to be able to play some Tri-Ace titles without having to stack consoles.

Kyolux

@Foxstar Sixtail: Sir, I think you're right, I just hope we get more info soon, that one in-game screenshot of Monster Hunter 3 KICKS ASS.

MrMister

@bigman88zz: What part of multi aren't you understanding? How about we coin a new term called "all-platrom" to include orginal gameboy, Wii, Snes, atari 2600(Hey they got portal didn't they?).

Pornosaur

@Demonbird: actually, i would rather they call it some-platform. its less misleading.

bigman88zz

@Foxstar Sixtail: Ubisoft did the pc ports, so you could blame them. Now it seems like capcom will do the ports with the proprietary framework engine.

Mr.DuckSauce

capcom will also be using a Lite Brite to develop for the wii.

@Ageman20XX:
What do you want them to call it when something launches on more than one platform? Some-platform?
Most-platform?
The thing is, the PC 360, and ps3 all perform within a similar level. Developing something to be on multiple platforms will be easier when the platforms are similar. It is inconvenient, costly, and time consuming to dumb something down/improve it for a platform that is different from the one that was originally intended.

Demonbird

As long as the bring Monster Hunter to the PS3. Man I was excited for some hi-res dino-hunting action. Sure I have nothing against the Wii, but come on Capcom the Wii's online is a joke. Monster Hunter is made for online.

nitromic

Smart move Capcom, smart move.

Finally Capcom fighters for those of us who arent sony fans.

Altima NEO

RE5 for the Wii! RE5 FOR THE WII!!!! CMON CAPCOM!!

Gunhaver

@Shin-Kaiser: SF2010 was on NES,and Final Fight SNES, so i guess i understand your joke. if not, just call me the village idiot :P

zanzibarlegend

We already have the potential for a "one console world" with the PC. Its just that no one, consumer or developer, wants to support it as such.

I'm really hoping this isn't going to be the case with all developers; good chance the PC is going to be hamstrung by the consoles. Unless they have a high-level graphics version for PC and then lower it for consoles. PC and HD consoles might be at a similar level now, but how long until even mediocre gaming PCs outperform the consoles? Especially with the PS3's supposed 10-year cycle.

Leanid

@MrBionic:

Then what would the point be of having multiple consoles? They would all play the same games. It would be a joke. Fanboys only exist because they are too poor to buy one or the other so they try to justify their purchase by trolling the internets and spreading their nonsense around. Really, I see no problems in having exclusives. What would Nintendo be without Mario? Or Microsoft without Master Chief? Or Sony without...umm...Snake!? I think the best thing is timed exclusives. One console gets it first, but then the other one gets it with a bunch of bonus content and material that make it worth the wait. But that's just my two cents...

DannKnee

It's ridiculous that they even have to make this announcement, but even more ridiculous that people are saluting them for it. It's unreal how fast everybody forgot Capcom's fabled "Capcom Five", 5 games which Capcom was developing "exclusively" for the Wii. Why the quotation marks? Because one of those games was "Resident Evil 4", and it wasn't too long before it came out on the PS2, too. In fact, only ONE of those five games remained exclusive. This isn't an old trend, either - it may have taken some time (and severe chops throughout the game), but Dead Rising is coming to the Wii.

This announcement deserves, at most, a shrug.

DefenderShip

@Pornosaur: maybe its the part that always seems to leave one console out of the loop. hey! street fighter 4! its multiplatform....except on one console! in a 3 console race, when has anyone every considered multiplatform to be 2 out of 3 consoles?

bigman88zz

@TheCakeIsALie: *gegh* ...I'm sorry. I just can't understand why they felt Chris's arm needed to feed a family of five.

...

Zombies. A family of five zombies.

...mmm... delicious Chris.

WAIT, NOOO! LOOKING AT IT HURTS! ARRGH...

MaiAriSquee

@Rasz-42: No, you are correct: that guy's bicep is, in fact, bigger than his head.

TheCakeIsALie

I wonder if the small studios can afford to do multiplat

Shin-san

Resident Evil 5 confirmed for DS and iPhone!

No, really, it's funny how CAPCOM considers multi-platform = 360 and PS3. While EA considers multi-plaform = 360,PS3,Wii,DS,PSP,PS2,iPhone,toaster,etc.. :P

CockroachMan

@Demonbird: @Demonbird: and im going to have to go with cockroachman's statement on this one.

bigman88zz

@Demonbird: 2 is many?

bigman88zz

Let the software that comes out of sony and microsofts first party devs set the bench mark.

Kounji

@LittleBigPlaneteer: I couldn't have said it better...

twinturbo2

@bigman88zz:
I've always considered anything being on more than one platform to be multiplatform.
Multi, as in many, more than 1,
Platform

Demonbird

Where did it say that Capcom would stop developing for the Wii?

Paviel

This is excellent news! Its up to the 1st parties to make exclusives, 3rd should always be multiplatform.

And to the Wii owners complaining: move on, nothing is going to change.

hagridore

Sure, great, just give me SFII Turbo HD Remix already...

Bricked

Hallelujah!

zgrowler2

@Paviel:

It didn't. It just said their "major titles" (i.e. the graphically intensive AAA ones) are going to be PC/360/PS3 from now on.

I'd imagine that they will still be developing spin-offs and other games for the Wii.

Marlor

@Ageman20XX:

is not because of the inferior, is because simply, for unreasonable people, lets put it simple: it has les buttons. how would you play, for instance, assasins creed on a wii?

DLNO-001

I bet many game companies will follow this trend. From a business perspective, exclusivity only makes sense for first party studios - considering the costs of game development nowadays these companies really need their product to sell well just to break even and make a profit.

天

@zanzibarlegend: Well done - you got it right the 1st time :D

[www.flyingomelette.com]

Shin-Kaiser

You just don't get it Multiplatform for Ps3,X360 and PC and the Wii gets all the exclusives. LOL

AkiraGr

Come on Wii people - it's not Capcom's fault Nintendo failed to produce a machine with HD capabilities. Besides, Capcom actually got some twenty zombies on screen for Dead Rising Wii - it's not the thousands of 360, but it's something isn't it? You cannot demand the same games on hardware that won't support them. Wii simply is not a part of the "multiplatform" this generation - because technically it is in fact a last-gen machine. That's just the way it is, no way around it.

If you have a Wii and want in to some AAA HD action, you'll simply have to buy a 360 or PS3. Put your fanaticism aside, didn't 360 just drop to below Wii levels in price anyway...

kryo

Console Exclusives have always been a dumb idea not everyone is rich enough own every platform i'm glad capcom is a forward thinking gaming company and is sharing the love :) again I love u capcom for bring dmc4 to the pc :)

HitokiriX

@LittleBigPlaneteer: PLEASE! /want Dead Rising for PS3/ Hmm...or maybe not. 360 price has gotten low enough to buy as a second console now.

ShinjiKinomoto

Bad news for 360, good news for PS3.

KaneRobot

@MrMister: I think you should blame Nintendo instead of third parties for making their console so vastly underpowered when compared to their competitors, that multiplatform ports from other consoles aren't very feasible to say the least. Then again, if you like third party games, you should' ve known better before buying a Nintendo console since N64.

gencid

@Accordion: I hope so that was one of the reasons i got a PS3, among hundreds of others but i could just imagine online for mh3 on ps3 it would be sweet (dreams happy thought of playing mh3)

bigman88zz

@MrBionic: so your telling me that you think Gears Of War would have been equally a good game if it was multi platform, or any Halo game?

I pesonally dont like Halo, but i do think that if GOW or any Halo game had been multi platform, they wouldnt have been able to put in as much time refining it to one specific console and pushing the consoles limits.
