The just announced remasters of Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 won’t be developed internally at Capcom- instead, it sounds like the company has outsourced development of these games to external studios.

The original Dead Rising will be launching for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 courtesy of Polish studio QLOC, who also developed the PS4 and Xbox One versions of DmC: Devil May Cry, Capcom’s infamous Devil May Cry reboot. Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, meanwhile, will be handled by Mercenary Technology.

This does make sense, if you think about it- series custodian Capcom Vancouver are currently hard at work, presumably, on Dead Rising 4, which has been announced for release later this year on Xbox One and Windows 10. Meanwhile, you can check out new screenshots for both the remasters below.

Not too sure how I feel about this one really. I loved Chivalry Medieval Warfare, I put a lot of time into it on PC and made a few good gaming pals through it. But as the updates and patches rolled in,  the game got a little bit more broken. So when Activision announced that their bringing Chivalry Medieval Warfare to Xbox 360 and PS3, my scepticism radar went nuts.

So what do we know? Activision is working with developers Torn Banner Studios alongside Mercenary Technology to port the first person (sort of) skill based game of medieval combat game to the Xbox 360 and PS3. The console build of the team based battle theatre has been refined for the home systems and features 12 player (free for all or team v team generally) and will be available via digital download and not at retail.

Haven’t played Chivalry Medieval Warfare and want to know what to expect? Death. Expect death and gurgling as you swallow your own blood as you grasp for breath. The game (in my experience before it got all busted) perfectly captures the feeling and sheer brutality of Medieval ware. Be it by mace or flail, long sword or pike…you will die. And you’ll love it.
