According to producer Keiji Inafune, Dead Rising was originally conceived as a sequel to the game Shadow of Rome to continue an initiative set out by Capcom to "decipher the North American market". The original plan was to scrap the stealth elements featured in Shadow of Rome and focus more on over-the-top violence, but due to a desire to make something different while retaining that concept, the game's story, setting and time period were morphed into what Dead Rising became.

In the August 2006 interview with the game's assistant producer Yutaka Haruki published in the XCN (Xbox Community Network), he was asked why the development team made the game's main character Frank West a journalist, and not a cop or a regular civilian? He responded:

"We chose Frank’s profession to be a photo-journalist for a number of reasons. Firstly it gives him a motive for going to Willamette – he wants to find out what is happening there, why the Army is not allowing people in or out and hopefully post a story that is going to make him famous across the globe. It also allowed us to implement the photography feature into the game something which adds another dimension to the already multi-faceted gameplay. Finally I believe that while Frank is a photo-journalist, in many ways he is just an ordinary person like you or me and therefore has to make use of the items he finds in the shopping mall in order to stay alive. Sure, the longer he survives the more skills he can obtain, but when he first enters the mall he is just an ordinary guy."

In the August 2006 interview with game's assistant producer Yutaka Haruki published in the XCN (Xbox Community Network), he stated that the game does not include any form of multiplayer mode, because the team always intended to make it a single player game as they felt that Dead Rising provided a unique experience that would be gone if they added a co-op or any other multiplayer mode.

Later games in the series would receive their own multiplayer modes despite this initial vision.

In the August 2006 interview with game's assistant producer Yutaka Haruki published in the XCN (Xbox Community Network), he stated that the development team's vision of wave after wave of zombies all appearing on-screen at once while maintaining a steady framerate was only possible thanks to the Xbox 360's processing power, and that they were happy with the large quantity of zombies they were able to achieve.
