Dead Rising PS3?

Launched just under a year after the Xbox 360 was released, Dead Rising is still considered one of the best exclusives on the Xbox 360 to date and one that Playstation owners are envious of. Dead Rising is a survival horror game by the zombie masters over at Capcom that centers on Frank West, a photojournalist who ends up trapped in a huge shopping mall infested with thousands of zombies and it’s up to you to try surviving the next three days and rescue as many people as possible.

Ever since Capcom announced its new multiplatform stance, many expected Dead Rising to be given a PS3 port; instead the 360 title that did get ported over was Lost Planet, leaving many people, including myself, thinking that Microsoft had tied up that series to stay exclusive to the 360. That doesn’t seem to be the case, since Capcom recently announced Dead Rising: Chop ’Till You Drop for the Nintendo Wii. So what about the PS3?

That very question was asked during a Bionic Commando: Rearmed Behind the Scenes blog post on the Playstation.Blog. One user asked if there’s any hope of a Dead Rising game for the PS3 to which John Diamonon responded, “You haven’t seen the last of Dead Rising.” Of course, readers jumped on this, but he made it clear that he could not confirm anything.

With the Wii getting a version, it only seems right that the Playstation 3 should also get its own version, but is it the original that will get ported over or will Capcom skip that and go straight to the long-overdue sequel, one that will no doubt end up on Xbox 360, too? Nothing is for certain but rest assured that Dead Rising won’t be going anywhere soon.
