Should have ported the original to the PS3 and used that money to help fund the 2nd one that would be multiplat.

The lack of zombies on screen takes all of the fun out of the game imo. But o well it will make money. It should be a different game not a terrible port on a system that clearly cant run the original game

Its made by a very small team on a peanuts budget. No wonder it looks nothing like Monster Hunter 3 or even Resident Evil 4

Agreed. I would much rather they put it on the PS3 with the planned Wii improvements.

Wish they worked on Dead Rising 2 instead of making horrible Wii version of it. At least Left 4 Dead is coming out in a month.

I think that dead rising is probably the worst game Capcom could chose the port down to the Wii. When you port Dead Rising down to a console that can't render tons of zombies on screen you kinda lose the whole point of the game. There are other games that Capcom could have ported down to Wii, and just lost graphical fidelity, but instead they decided to port down a game where the actual gameplay would suffer.

Bingo.

Dead Rising 2 will definately come out, just a matter of when. And hopefully it shows up on PS3 too.

yeah probably

but the Wii version will be no fun compared to the 360 version I think. I guess Wii owners can still hope for original motion controls to raise the funfactor a bit

um there is a reason why they are not making DR2. it is called it wasn't in the plans and they already had other projects to work on.

The main reason was that it sold poorly in Japan.

Thats why they made a Wii version, to attract the Japanese market

wonder why they did not make a pc version for a quick cash-in of the original instead of wasting money and ressource for that game, if you can call that a game...

It did really well inNorth America and Europe, but the sales weren't as good in Japan so the Capcom higher ups didn't approve for a sequel. Plus after DR the team was broken up where they worked on different projects.

well you see when you have a 360 you are interested in the games that come to i. So when they said that was teh reason they were not in the process of making a sequal in an interview some time ago I would know. The only reason why you are even interested in the game, or even trying to defend your beloved wii is because teh game is coming to the system.

You obviously had no interest when it was a 360 game.

Zombie game is not a genre. You can't compare Resident Evil with Dead Rising. Two totally different games. The only thing they have in common is zombies. That is not a factor in peoples reasoning to buy a game.

In order to fund they must generate good money, which means you just said they sell great in Japan ;)

they wont waste their time making games that they dont think will sell. they arent worried about funding ps3/360 games, they are worried about staying in business

Where did it say that?

"He said no, aside from a few minor bug fixes, this was the same build, because the game was nearly done."

He said nearly done. Not finished.It still has time to add more zombies on-creen. Also, just look at some of the older pictures:

That doesn't seam so empty.:| From what I've heard, the demo at TGS was set in the first parts of the game when there aren't many zombies, yet.

It did really well inNorth America and Europe, but the sales weren't as good in Japan so the Capcom higher ups didn't approve for a sequel. Plus after DR the team was broken up where they worked on different projects. istreakforfood

I'm not saying it didn't do well. I'm just saying it was obviously not enough for Capcom or else they would have done a sequel. My guess is that the resources that took to make Dead Rising was more than they expected and they probably only broke even with the sales. Otherwise, there's no reason for Capcom not to make a sequel if it is profitable.
