*looking at Dead Rising trailer* Hooboy, where to begin?

I like how the entire mall has been condensed to a dimly lit warehouse building, the hundreds upon hundreds of zombies on the 360 version have been condensed to...well, the Wii version, and the tone of the film looks overall slapstick and goofy.

And I will still be the first to download this thing. Onto my 360, if one can hope.

Yay. A new Street Fighter anime by one of my favorite studios! On a system I don't own. In a country I don't live in.

Given how bad the SFIV anime was, I couldn't care less this won't be appearing outside Japan. Odd that it's only on the 360 version though. This the latest attempt by Microsoft(Partnered with Capcom obviously) to "break" Japan?

Good luck with that.

Agreed, while The Ties That Bind wasn't too great it was better than that piece of garbage.

You gotta remember though...
Kizaki is directing the anime, hell you can just tell it's his style by looking at the Cammy picture.
And considering how popular Afro is?
We may get it.

Actually, is this really 360 version only? The collector's pack that has the anime movie seems to have been confirmed on both PS3 and 360 in Japan according to some gaming sites.

Any clarification?

Well I thought "Ties" was servicable; not great, but servicable.

As for "Generations," it was so bad it didn't even get a release in Japan, despite having a full Japanese-Language track on the DVD.

You may get your wish if this trailer is genuine.

PS: I hope Capcom releases this movie & the "Sakura" theactical short on PS3 as well as on 360 like they did with "Ties" last year. Even if they're made available only through PSN and Xbox Live Video Marketplace, I don't mind paying an extra $10 - $20 for them. Smile

According to the official Super Street Fighter IV blog, the game will be released on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles. However, the new animation project is described as "special contents for the Xbox 360 version only."

Generations actually did get released in Japan but 4 years after we got it as it was a bonus for their release of The Legend Of Chun-Li movie.

Only reason I have Generations is because it was in a 2-disc set with Alpha. And personally, I liked Ties, but that's just me. Then again, I got it for free when I sold my old Blu-ray player at a pawn shop (had just bought a PS3)

I was excited when I saw "Live-Action Dead Rising" then I read that it was Japanese made and that killed it way before i even watched the trailer. What part of that movie even ties in with the dead rising game anyway?

This Dead Rising movie looks exactly like Wild Zero, except replacing laser guitar picks with wheelchairs of death. I have to hand it to Japan: they come up with some weird zombie stuff.
