DR1 was so fucking good man. The game that made me get a 360. This isn't going to make me get an Xbox One.
Dead Rising 3 created "to go after the Call of Duty player"

Need to chase after than CoD money I guess. CoD prints money every year and all publishers want a cut of that.

If I can't drink a gallon of coffee creamer in this game, it may as well not get made.
You not have to sell cod numbers to be successful
Going for the dudebro isn't smart either

So, basically, they've ruined it. I only played the first game, but I thought the appeal was the esoteric Japanese design philosophy under the zombie veneer? It was basically an old-school arcade game in terms of design. But it had a fun, fresh take on zombies in a shopping mall layered on top...
I had a strange feeling of disconnect watching the DR3 demo Monday but I couldn't put my finger on it. This helps explain why. It's basically not DR anymore.

I don't think it necessarily looks bad, it just isn't Dead Rising. For someone who wants a zombie game then this looks pretty good. For someone who wants a Dead Rising game...yeah...
What the hell are you talking about? Find me a quote that RE4 was chasing a popular demographic.
This was pretty obvious from the E3 presentation demo.
"In this game, everything and anything is a weapon!" (picks up gun)
There was no weapon in that demo that was "fun" and "creative". Wrenches, bats, guns and saws. My favorite part was when the main character picked up an industrial buzzsaw that was on the floor of a boxing gym for some reason.

Because this really worked so well for Resident Evil, didn't it?

If only that was the case. To them, the game not selling well will mean that people don't like Dead Rising, not that they made Dead Rising shit.
Yeah, the time management is the core of what Dead Rising is about. It is where all of the challenge comes from and where all of the game's meaningful decisions come into play. I just don't see how you can strip it out and end up with a fun game. There is going to be Nightmare Mode, but I am still wary, since the main game won't have the time restraints. If the gameplay was built around the main mode, then the Nightmare Mode could end up being tacked on and sub-par.
It is possible that the Nightmare Mode is what they originally intended for the game and the main mode is the later addition, but I can't see the game ending up very good in that case, unless the two modes have radically different game balance.

Hahahah.
I could see Capcom changing their tune and making the next trailer filled with some silliness. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

And there goes my last interest in Xbone. I was wandering where all the colors went. Damn shame.

RIP Dead Rising. I loved the more Cartoony look. I loved the way it was. They're basically making an entirely different game and trying to call it dead rising.
Someday I'll get a zombie game that compares to the first Dead Rising. That would have been great if they just had a freeplay mode with no timers no running out of things. That was the only thing the first was truly missing. If it had that it would have been perfect.

i'd like to go after the call of duty player, if you know what i mean.
heh
So alienating your fan base that you have built up over 2 games and going after another one that has proved in the past it wont buy other franchises made to feel more CODish is the way to go, So they risk losing both and pleasing no one
Whereas all the ex-Capcom people at Platinum are all about realising what it is they do best and trying to do it as well as they possibly can. Even if you're not a fan of the company or their games there is something to be said for knowing your strengths, knowing your market, and playing to that. As well as knowing that you aren't going to please everyone.
The problem with these changes in direction isn't so much the change in direction, at least from a design and marketing standpoint, but when you still think you can somehow wing it and pull the old audience along with you. Some companies seem terrified of saying, "Look, those games were great but we wanted to do something different this time."
re4 was a shooter, that's a quite popular demographic for me.
Tdead rising has never been something else than killing lots of zombies and That's what i saw in the video. Now we have a city, instead of the same closed mall bullshit. I can deal with some crap if it doesnt limit the survival aspect. I dont think you will be calling airstrikes so often like cod.

and I now have zero reasons to get an Xbone
good job, Capcom
good job, Capcom
Because Dead Rising players can't sustain the budget for this game alone, only the COD audience can allow Capcom to recoup their money!
I immediately thought of Jim when the game was revealed. lol

The Call of Duty crowd already have CoD. When will they learn?
Very thankful this is an Xbone exclusive, don't even want it available for purchase on my platform.
Dead Rising was unique, a lot of people liked it. Now they'll spend $92892849284948 on a game trying to appeal to COD fans, it'll "bomb" (only selling 3 mill), then we never see Dead Rising again.

Don't ever call DR devs lazy. It is the hardest game in the industry to build.

I was a little upset this was Xbone exclusive when it was announced.
Now I kind of just hope it fails spectacularly. Hasn't the industry already bent over backwards ENOUGH for the Call of Duty crowd? What about the rest of us?
Half the fun of Dead Rising was its irreverent, self-aware nature. Take that away and you just have a generic zombie-killing game...and we already have way too many of those in the industry as it is.
