Malcolm Excellent posted:It does seem like the devs tried really hard with Dead Rising. It also seems like the Dead Rising 4 team didn't try very hard at all. The two games were made in very different times and climates for Capcom, with DR1 being made when they were in a fairly good spot both in terms of their developers and in terms of their cash flow. The allure of then "next-gen" technology also contributed quite a bit to having to show what they could possibly do on new hardware. DR4, on the other hand is Capcom at the point were they are not in a good spot anymore and it shows in their more recent games.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:DR1 (and Lost Planet) were both rejected at the prototype stage but Inafune forced them into full production by ignoring the demands to halt development and deliberately going so far over-budget that management felt compelled to greenlight them - sunk cost fallacy and all that. It was a massive gamble and Inafune's career would have been toast had either game flopped. Ah, that would scuttle some of my ideas then.(Where did you find that info out by any chance?). GenericMartini posted:I mean it seems like a lot of the stuff in Dead Rising isn't really advanced but it seems to have a lot care and effort in it. Little things like cds individually being thrown when Frank throws them are cool tidbits not a lot of people would care about or even notice. Individually, they don't add much, but put together that's a significant chunk of time spent on things that, I would imagine in their shoes, would be better spent on refining the bigger open world or the multiplayer. Was it a good call? I'd argue not really, but that kind of the unfortunate lesson of game development; it's a constant process of what to add and what to give up and hoping what you stick with is what people will like and what they stuck with was...not really that good.
