Da Capcom i sin tid valgte at lade en canadisk udvikler stå for Dead Rising-serien, var der mange der var overrasket, men Dead Rising 2 skuffede ikke og derfor gik planlægning af et tredje spil i serien hurtigt i gang - et tredje spil der i første omgang var planlagt til Xbox 360.
I et interview med OXM, fortæller udviklerens Mike Jones således:
And we took it to Microsoft, and we said this is what we're trying to do with Dead Rising, just to share what we know, and they flipped, ‘This is f**king awesome, this is just the kind of thing you should be doing.' And we said ‘Well, there's a catch.' And they said: ‘What's the catch?' And we said: ‘We can't do it on Xbox 360. It's not fitting. It's not working.'
Microsoft lurede angivelig hurtigt en mulighed for at transmogriffe spillet over på Xbox One i stedet, og siden da har Capcom Vancouver tvunget den nye hardware til at fremstille zombier i massevis.
Glæder I jer til Dead Rising 3?
