bad gameplay lol
I don't get what all the complaining about the checkpoints in OTR is about. Pretty much the only time they're useful is against bosses. Since your checkpoint is overwritten every time you enter a new area, they have little to no effect on the time-based stuff. If you're trying to get from one side of Fortune City to the other, but end up running out of time halfway there, how are checkpoints going to save you, since your most recent checkpoint is going to be at the start of whatever area you're currently in? You're still not going to be able to make it in time.

Please tell me you are joking.

I was so hyped when DR2 was announced but after the shitfest that was OTR I feel nothing but sadness at the loss of what could have been an awesome franchise.

Well, the article says a bomb is going to go off and he needs to escape the city, so I think the time limit is definitely going to be a factor.

I preferred Chuck's story arc over Frank's. His struggle to keep his daughter alive, and to shield her from the horror of the situation (the ability to bring her toys was a nice touch) made him feel more relatable.
I like Frank, but I don't understand people's desire to see him be the hero in every DR game. I'm glad they're once again introducing a new protagonist for the next game.

Hated the first game. I tried to like the second, but I just can't tolerate some of the design choices in the series. It may be for some people, but taking a genre like open-world zombies, and throwing in some of the most tedious, repetitive, frustrating mechanics you can put into a game, is just infuriating. Unless they do something really new this time around, I think I'll pass.

If they add checkpoints I'm out. If they add Frank West I'm also done.
Excellent! Hope we get to adjust the fuel mixture, remove the catalytic converter and lighten the flywheel then!
OTR is a "what-if" scenario starring only Frank. Either is fine, really, though I'd recommend DR2 since you can find it for dirt cheap at this point.

I just finished Off The Record minutes ago. It was my introduction to the Dead Rising series, as I had never played the other games. Opinions seem to be divided, but as for me, I really liked the game, despite the shitty combat and frustrating psychopaths. God, those were the worst. I really hope Dead Rising 3 gets rid of all the clunkiness and the jank.
Why the fuck did you bump a 2 month old rumor thread just to say that?

Because I had to say something about Dead Rising 3? It wouldn't have been better if I had created a new thread just for this small post, would it?

They need to find out a way to satisfy both crowds. Time limit and no time limit.
One way is to probably include time limit in certain missions/cases that would specifically make sense for it, but also allow segments where you can free roam / sandbox and do side quests. And when you're ready, or done with that, you can go off and trigger the next case which will involve a combination of timed events and non-time events. All the while throwing in segments that allow you to dick around without worrying about time.
I like the timed element, but it was so constant and it just felt like I was working, not playing by trying to get to each aerea in time, back to back to back seemingly never ending with any rest.

Off The Record was just as much fun as the original DR2 in my opinion.
But I wouldn't mind if they put a New Game+ option in DR3 that's practically an "Off The Record" mode.

Welp, was hoping for some new news about this. Guess not...

well that wouldn't have made me think that there was some new news about this Dead Rising 3 rumour, so yeah, that would have been better.
i'd rank it.
dead rising > OTR > DR2.
neither otr or dr2 match up to the original at all. i think otr captures the mood of the original better than dr2, but theres a lot of dumb shit added like auto-saves and shit.
Well, your post chiefly pertains to DR2, and sharing your thoughts on a game you were late to is the entire purpose of a Late to the Party thread, whereas this thread is solely regarding a particular DR3 rumour.
Are you serious? Female leads are hardly in any video game...
I guess you don't play many games because they are "sausage fests"

They should give us the option of a female lead though. Like we can play as Rick or Ricki or something.
