News: So says Keiji Inafune, the king of Capcom.
Kotaku has translated an interview with the head of Research and Development at Capcom, Keiji Inafune, from the newest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu Weekly and it holds some great news.
Are you sitting down? I'll wait. OK, good.
Now then, Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2 are in development! Here's what Inafune (who, incidentally, also created the Mega Man series) had to say:
"We're finally putting out new Dead Rising and Lost Planet games! As a main principle we're thinking about multi-platform, and expanding upon both slightly from the Xbox 360 version."
I've been waiting on a sequel to
Dead Rising, one of the best Xbox 360 games there is, for a while. And it sounds like the games will be coming to both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Capcom has also been committed to giving their games PC releases as well, so they may show up on that platform as well.
The company is also readying a Wii version of Dead Rising, titled
Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop, which will be released in February.
We'll have more soon.
