The goal for Dead Rising 2 is to replace the Resident Evil franchise and become number one IP within Capcom," Capcom's head of global research and development Keiji Inafune told Eurogamer this morning.
Dead Rising 2 is the follow-up to Xbox 360 exclusive Dead Rising, which shipped over one million copies worldwide as of 31st December 2006. It was also a damn fine game: Eurogamer gave it an 8/10.
Topping Resident Evil, however, will be no mean feat. Capcom's sold 44 million Resident Evil games, spread across 63 titles, over the years.
The last game in the zombie shoot-em-up series, Resident Evil 5, sold nearly five million units.
Inafune, though, is bullish. "As a creator, the sales and marketing part aside, unless you have a big goal to strive for you can't create a good game," he said.
And Dead Rising looks set to continue beyond the release of Dead Rising 2. Inafune revealed that Capcom will consider creating Dead Rising 3 if Dead Rising 2 sells well.
"Until Dead Rising 2 sells we probably can't start talking about spin-offs," Inafune said.
"If it's received pretty well, yes we would consider a sequel. But at the moment we just don't know."
