[quote]In a GameSpot report, Capcom demonstrated exactly how terminally bloody stupid the mainstream game industry truly is, confessing that Dead Rising 3 is planning to appeal to Call of Duty fans. Because of course, following the leader is exactly how you lead![/quote]

I was HOPING what we saw on stage was just a small slice of the game and not a representation of the game as a whole...
Wow...Just wow.
Capcom if you don't like Dead Rising just say it.
Why not focus on... I don't know... the same audience which bought the previous installments?

I thought it looked fun. But I've only played Dead Rising 1 for like 15 minutes so I don't really have prior experience of the series.
xbox one can keep it
But I want to ride a unicycle through the horde while wearing a tutu and shout insults at every corpse that is gibbed underneath my wheels with no facial animations.
I thought it looked really good and had a ton of potential. It just doesn't look like Dead Rising.
It's like they don't want my money
That's two Capcom zombie series ruined after their creator left.
Just another zombie game. Shame.

Looks like it'd be good for like, twenty bucks.
That part where he called artillery at the end was the most fucking moronic thing I have ever seen.
I'M ALL ALONE IN THE CITY FILLED WITH ZOMBIES
OH SHIT I'M SURROUNDED
BETTER RUN TO MY TABLET/WINDOWS 8 COMPUTER AND CALL A FUCKING BOMBING RUN
Outright saying that you are going for that "CoD audience" by making a game gritty and brown and "realistic" (ugh) is the worst thing you can say about your game to a journalist. Even if that is your goal, at the very least try to cover it up as a change in developer vision for the series or something.

Because two million sales is totally nothing, they need the CoD audience.

I post again, this masterpiece:

And off I go now. Leaving this forum, and ending up in Uranus Zone.
When will developers realize that Activision releases CoD often enough that there will never be a lull where their fans start looking for alternatives?
The whole concept of calling in artillery is absolute dumb and a plot hole -
If the military is more than capable of bombing the city at any time, why haven't they just started firebombing the entire place to get rid of the zombies? It's what they did with Fortune City.
what the fuck happened Capcom
wow
suddenly i don't care that this is an xbone exclusive
they can keep it
ick
When developers try to appeal to the Call of Duty audience they basically fuck over EVERYBODY
The fans get a casual dumbed down piece of shit they didn't want and the Call of Duty fans are [B]PLAYING CALL OF DUTY [/B]
How about appealing to the audience of the game you are god damn making?
i'm p sure that 'tactical handgun' thing is a joke because it's just a flashlight poorly duct taped onto a handgun.
I knew this game was going to be fucking bullshit when I was watching this live, I was so confused and angry.
Why the fuck is everything so brown and walking dead-like?
To be honest I found RE6 quite fun because it wasn't super hardcore tactical all brown game. More of a fun Michael Bay coop experience with a buddy. This? This looks like trash, thankfully it won't be appearing on the PS4!

Lol, it wasnt even gritty and brown. More of a shooter and slasher type of shit game. Why didn't they even fucking follow the same concept as the previous ones?
And then it sells badly.
BUT WE DID THINGS PERFECTLY IT MUST BE AN UNPROFITABLE FRANCHISE KILL IT NOW
Maybe Saints Row was also siphoning all the craziness out of the game market somehow.
[QUOTE=The golden;41007778]They saw CoD making heaps of cash and decided they also want to make heaps of cash by appealing to the same people by acting like a game that they already own - CoD.
Even though, you know, they already own CoD.
Welcome to the modern gaming industry.[/QUOTE]
I know a lot of people who buy Call of Duty and if they didn't already like Dead Rising they aren't going to jump ship because now its browner and more "realistic".

Game developers are just hilariously out of touch sometimes. It's like when almost every MMO just wholesale copies WoW systems and then wonders why they aren't rolling in cash like Blizzard is. You can make successful games without going for the precise Call of Duty formula. Contrary to popular opinion, very few Call of Duty players exclusively play Call of Duty. If you just release a good game it will sell really well and attain high critical praise. But I guess that's more difficult. Okay just put a brown overlay over everything and suck the personality out of the game

How does this work
Even though RE6 was a disaster for becoming a shitty third person shooter with a (relatively) nonsensical plot, and I'm pretty sure it sold really poorly.
And the fact that no one is going to buy Lost Planet 3, which also looks like shit and had all of the creativity taken out.
