Interview with Mike Jones, producer at Capcom Vancouver

What are you most excited about in developing for the next gen consoles, with the new technology and being able to explore now? For Dead Rising 3 what we’re most excited about is that we’ve been able to take the experience of Dead Rising, of course we had lots of zombies, of course we had lots of weapons, but they’d always been confined to very small gameplay spaces.
