Rumor: Dead Rising 4 leak from old build, maybe re-imag of 1 w/ 4p co-op & full town

If Dead Rising 4 is a remake of the first game I'm kinda disappointed, I would rather a totally new Dead Rising game instead even though I loved the original the most.

I'm kinda surprised that they've chosen to remake it. It could still be a fantastic game though. Hopefully they unshackle the game from the limitations of the original.

The original game is almost 10 years old now. (Oh man I feel old).

Crazy to think it and Okami are both 10 years old.

Im a bit dissapointed this is a reimagining of 1. But I guess after the end of DR3 there wasnt more you can go forward without going into stupid future bullshit.

Nice, DR3 was solid but it felt a little cramped in terms of the world design. Can't wait to see what they have up their sleeves.

My stomach just dropped thinking about that. Gears of War (1) is also ten. I remember when my friend and I were so excited in high school about both games... and now they're what feels like a lifetime old.

Didnt Enter The Dragon Punch hint at the game having somwthing to do with Christmas? Please please PLEASE let that mean that this game will be set in winter with snow!!!

I love snow so much. I'm on winter/snow overload with Rise of the Tomb Raider - it's do awesome there and it would be amazing to kill zombies in winter.
 
DR1 is a classic, but the loading times between the areas you're traversing so often feel even more disruptive than ever after having gotten used to seamless environments in almost everything in the almost nine years since its release. Even DR2 is annoying to go back to. It just makes the whole experience a bit more of a chore to play these days and kills the sense of urgency that comes from the constant pressure of their tightly-timed play. Especially since DR3, which does a fairly large exterior world with plenty of interor spaces all without loading pauses, I've wanted a return to the more urgent and desperate DR1 pace and that seamless experience would do so much more to enhance the gameplay than just what the newer visuals could bring. Of course, I kind of expect a new highwater mark to be set for the number of visible and interactable zombies on-screen at once.
 
Please not too much open world, filler content and other bull*** Capcom, stay true too your roots with this ip, its fine as it is...
 
It's a shame, the original was a tight package and did a lot with its checkpoint and time system. It made it a highly replayable game, which made you think about your choices in time management, and made you plan time efficient paths and made item management more important. Shamefully, alot of people wanted DR to be just an open world game where you just kill zombies randomly to waste some time, and they got their way mostly.
Yup. A tragedy really, especially with the abundance of other mindless zombie games along those lines nowadays.

I'm not trolling at all. The hardcore mode would obviously have to appeal to the original Dead Rising fans to be successful. I'm aware of how the original game worked and why the huge DR fans like the game and disliked the sequels.
A tacked-on hardcore mode will do nothing to adequately replace how integral to the overall design a lot of the original (and since neutered) gameplay-related nuances were.

I'm so old games I was playing at school 25 years ago are getting remade.

It is not a simple remake from what we can gather so why are people so quick to call it a pass?

FF12 didn't get this negativity with its announcement. :(

I hope they didnt think this as one of their software megaton for the presser.

For Microsoft's? Definitely. Dead Rising is considered one of their key pillar franchises.

So this was that other Capcom game. Devil May Cry fans continue to mourn.

It's way too soon for DMC5. Besides, with Capcom extending dev time for major titles after SF5 it can only be to DMC5's benefit. I'm not worried, neither is most of DMC-GAF.

? there's a few folks disappointed by the remake news but for the most part this thread is full of excitement

TBH most of the negativity is around Xbox/Win 10 exclusivity

It had it's start as a launch window 360 exclusive and was successful. I wish MS would remember Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey.

DR sold millions, about 10 million in total. Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey didn't do anywhere near that. Just business.

So can Capcom just not release a game now without a first party bank rolling it?

Jeez.


Thats not exactly a bright future for them.

They probably can, but this and SF5 were done 3 years ago when everything not RE and MH was a much bigger risk. They're doing much better financially now.

They've been making a lot of smaller releases that earn profit for them, though they haven't been taking major risks. They did hit a pretty big financial crisis a few years ago, but they've been doing smaller efforts to net a return, albeit many using popular franchises, notably especially with their recent Resident Evil endeavors with the Revelations titles, the HD Remasters of REmake & Zero, the updated ports with slight new content for RE4, RE5, & RE6 on consoles, and their efforts currently on REmake 2.

But I imagine that profits is on their mind and a bit money conscious, especially with Street Fighter V under-performing earlier this year. And it seems Capcom have embraced doing lower-budget B-titles to fill both their portfolio, release schedule, and the like, so I'm interested to see where they go with that.

"We've done a mall, a casino that had a mall attached to it, and a small town that may possibly have had a mall in it. So where do we go from here?"

".....well, I'm all out of ideas."

There are a few things that make Dead Rising 1 unplayable today for me:

- The load times are sooooo bad
- My Xbox360 broke

:lol

But I would be very sad if they remake it and it shifts into DR3 territory, especially with a "full town" and so all. I loved the tight area design, I hate the generic open world feel of DR3... :(

The worst news here is that we are going yet another FY without DMC. I guess it pretty much confirms that when it does appear it'll be exclusive in one way or another.

Looks like State of Decay 2 was leaked out also by Enter and Jason from Kotaku, online focused.

I'm in on both of these games.
