Damn, hope everyone lands on their feet eventually. Dead Rising was one of my favorite games of the 360 era.

The way companies can just shut down departments at a moment's notice is criminal. This is not an unforeseen event for Capcom – they should have planned better but in reality, the bean counters don't give a fuck.
Best of luck to those that lost their jobs as a result of this.

That really sucks. Frankly I was surprised a Dead Rising 5 was even being considered let alone made but I hope everyone there finds a new place.
Oof, what the hell.
Their HQ isn't too far from my parents' place. I didn't even know it was there until a few years ago.
That's really sad news :(

So, they're trying to revert back to Japanese development? I wonder if Monster Hunter: World's success had anything to do with it.
That's sad. Seems like Capcom Vancouver has made 2 good Dead Rising games with 2 and 3 and then upset the fanbase with their portrayal of Frank West. They also made that mobile Puzzle Fighter game, but people really hated the art direction on that. Looked like they were following certain orders from Capcom HQ and those decisions hurt their sales and marketing. Shame, they seemed like a very talented studio.
Hope all those people land on their feet soon. Best wishes to the devs.

Does Microsoft have any development teams in Vancouver?
This nonsensical thinking that Microsoft can just appear like a genie out a lamp and rescue a development team needs to stop.
This is sad, but I wonder what projects were they working on. Did the last Dead Rising sell well?
Sound like they done with outside devs and it's all internal Japanese studios only
Rip ninja theory DmC2 theories
It sucks that they lost their way with Dead Rising, if only because DR2 and the Case spinoffs showed that they had the chops to continue along that path. They weren't hurting for raw talent, so I hope that the staff are able to find work elsewhere.
Dead Rising 2 and Case Zero were both amazing products.
There was some good talent there, hopefully they all rebound quickly.

It sucks for them, but actually, after DR4, they probably could see that coming =(
If i am not mistaken, the Coalition is based there

Yeah, it makes sense with their acquisition of several devs recently and their close history with the Dead Rising franchise. Always shitty when studios are closed down. Best wishes to those affected.
DR3 was the their only other major home console game that met targets this gen besides MHW. Dev 1 and Ono's team haven't so far.
I assumed this was happening once the projects were pulled.
Sucks for everyone that was there and I hope they are able to find new places to work.

Logical and a bit later than I expected.
Don't know if there's lots of studio in the Vancouver area.
