EA has added more third party content
to its online Origin store in the form of two high profile Capcom
titles. As of today, digital fighters and zombie shutterbugs can
download Dead Rising 2: Off the Record and Super Street Fighter IV
Arcade Edition for play on their PC.
The two new Capcom additions are part
of EA's previous commitment to loop non-EA publishers and developers
in on the Origin action. Earlier this year EA's senior VP of global online
David DeMartini confirmed as such, telling IndustryGamers: “A lot
of other publishers are looking at viable channels for making their
content available, and we would welcome them on Origin and hope that
they would see the value of what we're trying to bring with the
Origin client in association with their games as well.”
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is
selling for $39.99. It's Capcom's Dead Rising 2 reboot starring
photo-journalist Frank West and a crap ton of undead horrors/ridiculous weapons. Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is also priced at $39.99. They join a
growing list of third party titles coming to EA's service, including THQ's recently released
Saints Row: The Third and Warner Bros soon-to-be released PC version
of Batman: Arkham City.
