Kotaku rapporterar via anonyma källor inifrån Capcoms Vancouver-kontor att 50 utvecklare fått kicken samt att man valt att skära ned storleken/budgeten för kommande Dead Rising 5 efter att ett icke utannonserat, hemligt spelprojekt nyligen lagts ned. Tydligen var det nedlagda spelet ett actionspel sett ut traditionellt tredjepersonsperspektiv. Ska vi gissa på att det var ett Resident Evil-äventyr, kanske?
Kotaku skriver följande:
"The source, who spoke anonymously so as not to risk their career, said around 50 people were laid off as part of a reorganization aimed to streamline the company and wrangle the next Dead Rising, which had been over-scoped and under-staffed (as many video games are). Per Linkedin, Capcom Vancouver had around 250 employees. The studio is best known for developing the second, third, and fourth games in Capcom's humorous zombie-killing series.
The unannounced game, which was a very early prototype and had not yet been greenlit, was envisioned as a third-person action-adventure game set in an alternate reality version of New York, the source said. Capcom Vancouver also works on mobile games including last year's Puzzle Fighter and other unannounced projects. Capcom did not immediately respond to a request for comment."
Vad tror du att det handlar om för slags spel - det som tydligen lagts ned?
Den här gubbens hatt - är nedlagd.
