Capcom Hopes to Replace Resident Evil With Dead Rising
As it stands the Resident Evil series is Capcom’s top selling franchise of all time. Sitting at 44m games sold across numerous platforms in it’s lifetime it may be impossible to imagine the RE series being dethroned by any other game made by Capcom. Keiji Inafune hopes to change all of that.
Speaking to Eurogamer, Inafune-san has high hopes for the Dead Rising franchise.
“The goal for Dead Rising 2 is to replace the Resident Evil franchise and become number one IP within Capcom,”
Given the fact that the Dead Rising series hasn’t broken into the company’s top 15 most successful franchises as of yet, Capcom’s other zombie action game is a long way off from being number 1.
Dead Rising 2 release later this month for the PS360 and PC.
