Why is there no multiplayer on this game?

I remember there being multiplayer online on the xbox version so why not on the pc version, would earn more money and be more fun for people.

There was no multiplayer on the Xbox version. You're probably thinking of Dead Rising 2, which does.

I swear I saw it on YouTube from something Phamtom. Fair enough mate.

Yeah I know Dead Rising 2, 3 and 4 have multiplayer co-op + Single player. I just honestly thought the first one did, as I said I thought I saw it. I don't see why they can't add it?

Multiplayer has to be built into a game from the very beginning of development, and cannot be added later unless the engine itself (Unreal, etc) has that ability. This is not using such an engine.
As well, there is no way for multiplayer to work in the story, and having multiple Franks running around would be completely retarded.

Capcom abandoned Dead Rising as soon as it was released in 2006 because they did not think it would be a big seller. They admitted this when they announced Dead Rising 2 was being planned.

Dead Rising never had multiplayer, only 2, 3, and 4. It had PP and Survival Ranking leaderboards, that's it. I think you have this confused with Left 4 Dead, which came out later mostly in response to all the people who wished Dead Rising did have multiplayer.
