Capcom's Countdown should be bigger than Sony's Big Bang, but what is it? photo

Our imaginations have just calmed down from the rumored Sony Big Bang, but that turned out to be a just a really mean prank. Now we're only about two days away from finding out what the hell Capcom's countdown timer has been holding from us, and as we draw closer, imaginations run wild again.

We've been chanting "Okami for Wii!" for a long time, and I think they've heard us. There has been enough rumor support (and subsequent denials) to make me think that it's still coming soon. I don't think Okami Wii is the secret. 

The kids at CVG are throwing out their guess: some sort of Lost Planet sequel or spin-off. I like the idea of a follow-up to last year's hit, this time bringing more online action and multiplatform versions to the table. Lost Planet 2 sounds like a pretty smart guess, and it fits with the recent buzz and earlier rumors.

After all of that, I have to stick to my guns. It may be more of a wishful thinking thing, but I still want Dead Rising 2. I have no solid evidence to support this guess, but hopefully my power of want will make it so. While in Tokyo last month, I saw Keiji Inafune and yelled "Make Dead Rising 2!" He may or may not have heard me, and I know that a one month development period is impossible, but I'm sticking to my guns. Please be Dead Rising 2!

Aerox - yeah, that's the general consensus - I just want it to be something else.

If they'd do more of the Marvel Vs series, I'd be all over that!

My vote is also for Street Fighter 4.

Didn't they already basically say that Dead Rising 2 won't be happening? While the development team WANTS to do it, the company doesn't want to earmark resources for it quite yet.

Looks like Lost Planet. Wasn't there some rumor going around that the PS3 was getting some Lost Planet off shoot that was just like a multiplayer game?

Street FIghter 4 please. Pretty, pretty please. I still play SF3 to this day, and I can't wait for the Remix of SF2.

I never played Lost Planet (I heard the bosses were cheap and that = insta pass for me) so news about a sequel or spin-off would do nothing for me.

I would welcome any news regarding a Dead Rising sequel though.

I didn't like Lost Planet. I'm going to hold out for a Dead Rising sequel that actually lets you have freedom without that awful time limit/save structure and that can be played on a standard def TV.

Dead Rising's save system was brilliant.

And yeah, other than RE on the PSP, I'd kill for Dead Rising 2.

Anything less than a Street Fighter 4 announcement and they should be ashamed.

I'd also accept their apology for the abuse of the MegaMan/RockMan franchise turning into a card battling mess.

A new Bionic commando or Willow (2.5D, not 3D) style would also be well received.

Dead Rising's save structure and controls made me return the game to GameFly after only 2 hours of play. Totally unplayable.

Lost Planet, on the other hand, was fun and engaging. It offered fun gameplay with an interesting story and gorgeous graphics. Since I rented it months after release I lost out on getting to play the multiplayer (no pun intended), so I can't speak to that aspect of the game.

The fact the clock is super-imposed over a planet, presumably Earth, makes me think a Lost Planet sequel. However, they could pull a World War Z and do a Dead Rising sequel where the zombies have infected the planet and it has you hopping around a much larger area like a free-form city to try and see the bigger picture than just a single outbreak (this again, is based on the fact I never finished Dead Rising's story... so, pure speculation/wishful thinking at best).

Dunno, though. I highly doubt it is Street Fighter 4. The planet just makes me think "bigger."

Dead Rising's save system was one of the many reasons the game was so great. Your actions have consequences. You are playing in real-time, you can't just piddle about. Fantastic game. Maybe they could have a feature to turn it off for the babies/whiners so that everyone wins.

Lost Planet 2 that isn't as frustrating to play as the first.

I agree with ShadowXor - the save system made the game HARD and fun. I hope they don't fuckwith that for the sequel.

I think BioShock could've used a similar save system.

Street Fighter is all about fighting the world's strongest fighters. Remember how you went to each character's flag in II. I'd say SF4 with online multi-player looks likely.

I thought Lost Planet was very close to being a good game. It just lacked the special touches that make Halo 2/3 and Gears of War good games.

If it's not Dead Rising 2 I don't care.

I want Bionic Commando 2 and Dead Rising 2. In the same game. Whoever disagrees with me is a fool and a moron.

Also, boo on SF4. Aren't we all still playing SF2? Why are we messing with 4 if no one bothers with 3?

My hopes are for Dead Rising 2.

I tried playing Dead Rising on an SDTV, and it was the worst $60 I ever spent on a game. After my roommate picked up an uberpimp 42" HD, it became the best $2,060 we'd ever spent on a game.

Everyone here is wrong. Forget Street Fighter, who cares about dead rising, everybody hates mega man, resident evil is lame, and no one needs lost planet 2. Capcom is going to announce what everyone has wanted more than all those franchises combined

I doubt it'll be megaman. There's so many of those, another doesn't warrant a special announcement.

Bionic Commando would be amazing but also seems extremely unlikely.
