First Two ‘Dead Rising’ Games Are Coming to PC, PS4, Xbox
Zombies, man. I bet there’s tons of room in Hell, but Capcom just keeps tossing bits of human flesh into that sea of hungry ghouls to keep them here with us so they can squeeze some cash from their slowly rotting corpses. It was only a matter of time until the original Dead Rising made its way to the consoles we’ve been enjoying for a few years now, and it’s finally happening later this year, on the series’ tenth anniversary.
It’s not just the first game that’s coming back, as was hinted by that list of leaked achievements that surfaced this weekend. It’ll be joined by Dead Rising 2 and its pseudo-sequel Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, which are all coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
“Capcom will be bringing Dead Rising to Xbox One, PS4 and PC,” confirmed Capcom in a statement sent to VideoGamer. In addition, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record will make their way onto Xbox One and PS4. We will have more news to share soon.”
We still don’t know what will be different about these ports, but it sounds like we won’t have to wait long to find out.
We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.
Ray Garton was 61 years old.
Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”
Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.
Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.
Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.
You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.
He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”
“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.
Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
