Capcom hoping Dead Rising will replace Resident Evil as their number one IP
This information comes from Keiji Inafune…
“The goal for Dead Rising 2 is to replace the Resident Evil franchise and become number one IP within Capcom. 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. Until Dead Rising 2 sells we probably can’t start talking about spin-offs. If it’s received pretty well, yes we would consider a sequel. But at the moment we just don’t know.”
Hmm…I just don’t know about this. I don’t see Dead Rising replacing Resident Evil anytime soon. RE has a long history, is highly respected and loved by fans, and is just more popular in general.
Irrational Games: A lot of ideas from past projects were put into Infinite
Come on, I know I wasn’t the only one who noticed.

“We actually prototyped a bunch of stuff… kinda decided it wasn’t [right], and sat in a room and said, what else is interesting us? The idea of doing another BioShock game came up, but we knew if we were going to do that it wasn’t going to be a game in Rapture. The fun thing about working on shooters is a lot of things you’re doing are applicable, so there are some notions that came out of that prototype that are going to be in this game [BioShock Infinite]. And I think, from what I’ve heard, there’s some notions that are going to be in other games too, that came out of this prototype. That’s kind of cool, [but it’s] not anything we’re working on.” – Irrational Games’ Ted Levine
It’s good to see that people are using new ideas and not just regurgitating their old stuff to make a quick buck. If there’s one thing I hate about some developers, it’s that they don’t try anything new in the slightest! Come on, at least give us something new to latch onto…

There are many companies who come up with very creative marketing ideas, such as the big stunt that Quantic Dream pulled to promote Heavy Rain in the UK, and once again we have another add to the list:
To promote Mafia II, the publisher is having a mobile barbershop going around England to give people free hair cuts and certificates for T-shirts when they purchase the game. The mobile station is called “Joe’s Mafia II Barber Shop”, and participants will have the chance to get some hands on time with the game in addition to a shave and haircut.
Pretty awesome if I do say so myself!
