[Plague Doctor]

Yeah.... not interested.

 

[funkystudent]

Dead Rising 3 is a much better game.

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

They should revoice the entire game. Clearly they got their sense back with MVCI

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

It seems like this game was completely forgotten. Even if it had come out on all three platforms day of release I don't know if that would have helped. Capcom seems to put more worth into Dead Rising then there actually is, and I loved DR1 and enjoyed DR2 and OTR.

 

[RootCause]

Jesus @ replies here, I had a lot of fun with it. The story was really dumb but the combat was good. It has some good moments.

The stories have always been dumb. Not surprised by the posts though, some here would rather the series die over the dumb timer. I'm buying it regardless of the whining.

 

[Teepo671]

Eh, I'll give it a shot. I've watched part of a playthrough and it didn't look nearly as bad as what I've heard.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

I thought this looked fun in trailers, but probably won't have time to play it. Guess I may give it a shot if it's given with Plus at some point down the line

 

[backflip10019]

I liked it.

 

[Miker]

Did not expect Sissel to show up again here of all places.

 

[OriginalPoe]

Y'all sleepin on the mech suits in this game. Whatever.

 

[Rookhelm]

that's an unfortunate title, because usually "big package" is considered a euphemism for the penis

I don't think that was lost on them

 

[nOoblet16]

I really disliked this game, and I am someone who actually liked DR3.

 

[AgentLampshade]

Frank's Big...Package.

Huh. I'm not the target audience for this.

 

[Marcel]

I think you didn't need to think long and hard to realize that's the point.

I don't think he's rock stupid but he may not have understood. No need to give him the shaft over it.

 

[Oneself]

Meh. I'll watch the DF comparison though.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Dead Rising 1 was the launch 360 game for a lot of people, and that was because of its downright sadistic difficulty and learning curve. Since roguelikes are so popular now I don't see why DR is an outlier, Capcom should have scaled back the series instead of amping it up to make it more marketable.

 

[Camwi]

Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Grave

1/10

I had a lot of fun with this as someone who enjoyed Dead Rising 3.

If you liked DR3, use your own judgment.

Dead Rising 3 was probably my favorite of the series so far, so I'm looking forward to this one.

 

[Nightengale]

I don't remember them saying it would be exactly a year.
Though it seemed like the most likely scenario since they said it was timed only.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-17-dead-rising-4-is-microsoft-exclusive-for-a-year

They did. I remember it clearly, because it was a stark difference from ROTR.

 

[eXistor]

Eh, over it.

 

[Glass Shark]

.

 

[LiK]

I only hope they fix the lighting for the mall. It was too fucking dark.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Capcom Heroes is the only thing i'm interested in since I want to know what all characters it has.

Cammy, X, and Sissel so far.

oh

 

[SatoAilDarko]

So with that exclusive Playstation VR level in Tomb Raider along with the DLC and now this those Microsoft timed-exclusive deals look incredibly bad for everyone and an actual complete waste of money for Microsoft.

 

[Marcel]

The series died because of pandering to whiners who didn't want a timer actually.

 

[Zombie James]

I swear I read this as “Frank’s Big Pancake” at first, I just assumed it was a reference to something I wasn’t aware of

A stack of pancakes would be a wiser use of money.

 

[Grisby]

Can't watch the trailer. Is it just new costumes?

 

[Auxiliary Bro]

Unfortunately you'd have to go further back than 4 minutes to save this one.

 

[TaKeRx]

DR3 is much better than 4. Such a disappointment. Save your money fellas.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'll probably grab this when it hits the bargain bin so I can play the Frank Rising DLC and Capcom Heroes. If it's like DR4 on Xbox it'll be hitting 20-30 within a few months.

 

[CloudWolf]

Taste my big boner!

 

[ChuckHoneywood]

So DR4 is bad?

I was hoping this game might be my first zombie game of this gen to play.

 

[MUnited83]

I don't remember them saying it would be exactly a year.

They did say it. 3 months for Steam version, 1 year for PS4 version.

 

[Nightengale]

So with that exclusive Playstation VR level in Tomb Raider along with the DLC and now this those Microsoft timed-exclusive deals look incredibly bad for everyone and an actual complete waste of money for Microsoft.

The problem with ROTR and DR4 was that from the perspective of "differentiation" to sell more consoles, both games ended up performing poorly and wasn't a high-demand product that had tangible effects of pushing more systems.

Titanfall was MS's most effective one to date.

 

[Marcel]

So DR4 is bad?

If you want Zombie Musou with no challenge at all then this game is for you. If you want a Dead Rising game look elsewhere.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Isn't this game garbage?

Garbage? nah. Bad yah, at least imo...worst Dead Rising to date.

 

[Pif]

Jesus I hope PUBG isn't also 1 full year.

 

[MikeBison]

People who say the series 'died' because they took the timer out are just as bad as people who think BOTW is terrible because it has item durability. Fine to not like the decision, but no need to be so melodramatic.

It's not just 'whiners' that didn't like the timer. Literally every person i've ever spoken to about Dead Rising in real life, liked a lot about 1 and 2 but couldn't stand the timer.

I never minded it, never liked it.

Sure there's plenty of dumb fun to be had with this game so will pick it up. More so for it being Christmas themed and out in December.

 

[Anung]

This is DRINO (Dead Rising In Name Only) so buy the DR remaster if you want that itch scratched.

I think the thing is Capcom had higher hopes for Dead Rising then it ever had the chance to reach. By removing the more difficult/controversial elements in favor of a wider appeal they may have alienated big fans of DR1/2/OTR in favor of...not a whole lot. DR4 sold like shit.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Wow, basically exactly a year exclusivity it seems. They've probably been sitting on this more than anything.

At least the only missing title on the PS family are the cases and 3 now. Though they can't do anything about 3 unless they pay MS for it like EA did with ME1.

Capcom Heroes sounds like Super Dead Rising. So hopefully Regina shows up in that. Even if it's Frank wearing her outfit.
This should at least get the game past 1 million total.

Ghost Trick Returns

where capcom franchises go to die

 

[Yukinari]

Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Grave

FPBP

 

[TGO]

So they're just skipping DR3?

 

[giancarlo123x]

If you want Zombie Musou with no challenge at all then this game is for you. If you want a Dead Rising game look elsewhere.

Don't look too far, dead rising 1 on ps4 has been 10 dollars multiple times!

 

[MikeBison]

So DR4 is bad?

I was hoping this game might be my first zombie game of this gen to play.

If you're after a fucking GREAT zombie game, to be had at a great price, with a huge expansion and support still coming in, look no further than Dying Light.

Seriously.

 

[RootCause]

This is DRINO (Dead Rising In Name Only) so buy the DR remaster if you want that itch scratched.

I'd recommend Dying Light over any of the DR games, assuming he wants a more serious zombie game.

 

[Betty]

Dead Rising 3 is a much better game.

And Dead Rising 1 & 2 are much, much better than 3.

Can't believe I almost bought an Xbox One for Dead Rising 4 and it ended up like this.

 

[yukimeans_snow]

Big package. Get it? It's an inappropriate title for laughs. But also means that this game includes a lot of content

 

[Marcel]

That Ghost Trick costume on DR4 Frank is pretty much perfect but not in the way they intended.

 

[Nachtfalke]

It's a terrible Dead Rising game, but if you just want to slash some zombies casually it still can be entertaining. Just go in with low expectations.

But if you expect something closer to the first games of the series you should avoid the game at all costs.

 

[Kolibri]

So this isn't like the other Dead Rising games? I might actually enjoy it then. I'm in (For the sweet Cammy outfit)
