According to UK-based gaming site PlayTM, Capcom's games distributor in Italy has let slip that that the highly-stressful, zombie-slaughtering action of Dead Rising is coming to the PC. PlayTM is reporting that Capcom UK have refused to comment, which means -- if history has taught us anything -- that it's highly likely.
An Xbox 360 "exclusive," Dead Rising was definitely the straw that broke the undead camel's back for many gamers who purchased Microsoft's console simply to massacre hordes of zombies with a katana. While we eagerly anticipate the oft-rumored yet unannounced sequel, at least PC gamers may have something to look forward to in the near future.
The move wouldn't be a huge surprise, either -- Capcom have recently stepped up PC support, having already ported over Lost Planet, and are soon to release Devil May Cry 4. And anything involving zombies (other than them eating your family) is good news, right?
[Thanks Jonathan!]

AWESOME.
coop would make me dig this out again
I suppose I should post something relevant. I liked dead rising too, but I never made it through the story yet. I still have hope for the stupid co-op patch rumor from a while back.
yes, I know that I hope for things that will never happen.
But until that happens, I'll look forward to putting Dead Rising on my PC. :D
"Yeah, so, like, I think all of the game files are here and it looks something like the console version when you put it on the screen. I think it freezes at one point midway through, but hey, it runs, right?
Oh yeah, to shoot you have to press all the mouse buttons at once."

DO WANT
Im a sad panda
Either way, its good Capcom are still giving attention to the PC, where many don't bother.
They don't even bother to change the UI to fit the PC keyboard. I'm playing Lost Planet (which is terribly unoptimized, btw) and it's telling me to use the buttons found on the 360 controller.
Don't even get me started on Resident Evil 4.
I'd like to be happy that such a neat game is coming to the PC, but considering Capcom's track record so far, I remain skeptical that it will even be worth 20 bucks.
aaaaaaarrgh
