They weren't forced at gunpoint - the article says that Inafune wanted the games, took them to the people-with-the-money and the people-with-the-money didn't like taking a risk on A)original IPs, B)costly next-gen game development, or C)the Xbox 360, being a Japanese company.

And it paid off for them in a big way to take that risk.  Which is precisely what should have happened.

No need for the snarky replies guys. Read the article. The management at Capcom was opposed to the games being made, to the near-point of cancellation. Kenji really had to convince em, and I'm glad he didosusfaith

It was a huge risk because the Xbox & XBox360 weren't going to sell well in Japan, but they keep forgetting about the US & UK markets. We love these type of games and it shows in the profits Capcom has made from these titles. I'm happy they made these games and look forward to other new IP from Capcom.

Yeah, if they keep making new IPs of this quality, I'm sold.

Neither game was perfect - the save system in Dead Rising was horrible, and they over-compensated out of fear there would be too LITTLE to do as far as missions.  You're running at a break-neck pace from mission-to-mission. 

Lost Planet's camera moved a bit too slowly and I thought the SP was just too short (some of the missions themselves were very short). 

But Dead Rising won over it by getting that infamous "15 seconds of fun" down right...that is, using all sorts of fun objects to whoop up on zombies.  And Lost Planet got it right by fun old-school action and a casual, addictive multiplayer experience.

best post of the day bar none

They failed on the famed Capcom 5.   Should be of no surprise
