Possible Blue Castle/Dead Rising 2 connection? Ask the metal band  photo

Remember those rumors that Capcom was outsourcing Dead Rising 2's development to Western studio Blue Castle? Well, our sniffer dogs have uncovered what could be some evidence that lends credence to such gossip. It was found in quite an unusual place as well -- the biography of a metal band

According to the band's profile, Vancouver snarlers Cradle To Grave have been picked to provide music for a "zombie ritual game" that Blue Castle is currently working on. From the biography:

The deafening buzz surrounding Texas Medicine [the band's album] has already caught the ears of video game company Blue Castle who secured two songs from the album for inclusion on their upcoming "Zombie Ritual" game, due for release in late 2008 and is slated to ship 500,000 units worldwide in its first week of release.

Whether it's Dead Rising 2 or not, it certainly looks like Blue Castle is working on some zombie game at least, and there's always room for more of those on the market. With the persisting rumors, however, and the high expectations for the games sales, this throws more wood onto the rumor fires. It could even be the Wii version, which is slated to hit that number of sales (thanks pedrovay).

I've not heard Texas Medicine, by the way.

Wow, and i just finished another playthrough of dead rising, like, half an hour ago. I dont care if the second one is exactly the same as the first one, AS LONG AS IT HAS ONLINE MULTIPLAYER CO-OP.

Leipzig would be the best place to announce it. Maybe TGS, just maybe.

On the contrary, Capcom do still develop a lot of their own IP. Thing is they are very smart when deciding to outsource development of new IP, to western studios with greater knowledge of 3D engines etc.

If you haven't heard the grapevine, the japanese are getting left behind a bit by the west now, as far as graphics tech and game design etc goes. Its good of Capcom to notice this and outsource.

They are probably doing the music for the Wii DR. Or has that been confirmed as being developed in house at Capcom?

It could very well be Dead Rising 2 it makes sense with Capcom not putting RE5 until March it leaves the holidays wide open for some zombie goodness so *fingers crossed*

it would make sense since the first had a soundtrack by bands no one ever heard of
