Didn't they come out and say Dead Rising 3 wanted the Call of Duty audience a while back?
Not Call of Duty or DR3 but they wanted to copy a bunch of elements from other western franchises from DR4 and forgot they were making a DR in the first place.

Capcom: Make Dead Rising.
Vancouver: Make the Last of Us, got it.
Capcom: No, Dead Rising.
Vancouver: Assassin's Creed, will do.
Capcom: Dead Rising
Vancouver: Batman? Uncharted? You mean GTA?
Capcom: Make Dead Rising or you're all fired.
Vancouver: Oh, of course. Dark Souls!
This is one franchise that could potentially have been said to have been killed for chasing the western audience. Then again the producers they got for it were EA devs (that fled back to EA after the game flopped) who never worked on a DR before.
Although DR was always rather "western" to begin with so it's more that it flopped for trying to chase the audience of other franchises.
