Capcom: No Lost Planet, Dead Rising for PS3 and Wii
A couple of hours ago, Christian Svensson (a.k.a. Sven) over at the Capcom official boards made a statement in light of Capcom’s move to turn Devil May Cry 4 into a multi-platform game.
Sven said that the company felt that allowing DMC4 to be reached by more people outside the PlayStation 3 (PS3) “pleases far more people than it displeases,” and that the decision was made in the best interest of Capcom and the players.
And while this statement is still drawing all sorts of reactions like the recent online petition, Capcom forum member Westell Westell quizzed Sven to help clarify matters regarding the company’s plans:
What I am wondering, is since Capcom has claimed “Capcom is committed to making its titles available to as wide an audience as possible,” does that mean Capcom will be making games that were exclusive to the Xbox 360 cross platform as they did with Devil May Cry or is that quote from Capcom more of just a PR man doing their job? Thanks.
Here was Sven’s reply:
The answer is Dead Rising and Lost Planet are not slated to appear on Wii or PS3 as far as current plans go. The reasons for this are quite convoluted and I’m bound by NDAs on these matters so I can’t divulge why this is the situation.
The quote delivered above references our strategy moving forward, not something that is necessarily retroactive. You can see evidence of this with our previously stated RE5 plans going to 360 and PS3 simultaneously.
While (PS3) and Wii owners may feel a sting in Sven’s statement that there is no planned releases of Lost Planet or Dead Rising for their consoles, the “current plans” clause does open up speculation on what lies in the near future. For now, just await further details at the upcoming Capcom Day this April 12.
