... "Well, considering that we could get some decent sales on it, let's port 2 games over there. That way there will at least be some good zombie games from us there".

Are you implying Dead Rising on Wii will be good?????

 

 

 

Are you implying you can predict the quality of a game you haven't played? Please.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

To be fair, the games that capcom is making for x360/ps3 are already announced or will eventually make it to PC. So despite the claim made in the OP, you don't need a HD console to play them. Or are we pretending PC gaming doesn't exist?

In a way, yes...

We are mainly talking about console martket, but the fact that the you have to buy something else to play the sequel remains, still, so PC can count as the HD console.

But Happy Squrriel(sp?) brings up the point that these game could have been planned out before the Wii was released or before the Wii had a decent enough marketshare, and Capcom does have future Wii titles.

Anyways, I'm going to log out now and check on it later. Hopefully this thread will still be alive, then.

Then why is Capcom still annoucing HD games?

Also, why would they make a port of Dead Rising for the Wii when they know that the sequel is not being developed for the platform. Why not port Dead Rising over to the PS3. This strategy would work if they stated that the Wii version of Dead Rising 2 would arrive months later. But they did not. Dead Rising Wii is just a money grab by Capcom. They know Zombie games sell well on Nintendo's home console and their sole aim is to pad their balance sheet. I'm spending my money on other games.

 



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

Or it could be that they want to see if this game does well, then put more HD games on the Wii, like DR2.

You can't know their motives just because you think they should be following a certain pattern.

If Capcom is making money on their HD projects why would they stop developing them?

This is a mistake I constantly see people making, they assume that because another market is more lucrative that developers will assume that there is infinite demand for those games and they will abandon all other markets. It commonly comes up with people suggesting that no-one would ever bother making "Hardcore" Wii games because party games are less expensive and sell well.

In reality, companies look to have fairly diversified investments in multiple genres across multiple platforms in order to ensure that they have minimised their risk and maximised their potential return.

Yeah, it's kinda funny that Capsom supported Nintendo through its darkest days but now that they're back on top, all they've got to show for it is Zack and Wiki....

 

And MH3, and Spyborgs.

Woooo?

 

Yes, woooo!!

MH3 > Any other game they're making

True story.

Agreed. Unless it was a new Megaman Legends.

MH probably will use Capcoms servers, I doubt they would charge the US guys, but if the game is designed around servers and not Wiiconnect then chances are the American versions will have servers, that would explain why they wont bring that MH G to the US, they don't have the servers here, bunch of bums... them and Sega use the same server providers for PSU and MH in the US... but they didn't charge then, but I believe Japan paid.

Resident Evil 5 has been in development for a long time - back when it was assumed that PS3 would be the PS2, 360 would sell well and Wii would flop.

They've been shifting more and more resources to Wii development, and we are getting alot of good games, Zack and Wiki and Two Monster Hunter games being good examples

Those two zombie games Capcom made for the Wii are RE4 and it's sequel Mall Edition. Sure it's missing RE5, but what does this have to do with Dead Rising?

Looking at all the available information does give you a good chance to make a prediction about the quality of the final product. All the signs I have seen so far indicate Dead Rising Wii will not be a good game.
