DMC 1 Dante and Dead Rising 4

1 + 4 = 5

DMC 5 Confirmed!!!

 

[pa22word]

Whats Capcom's expectations for this title?

Hopefully salvage some of the huge amount of money they lost when this game massively bombed.

Worth remembering they expected 2 million copies of this game to be sold by march 2017...lol

 

[piccio_ssl]

It's happening isn't it?

 

[RecRoulette]

First Capcom collaborates with Diesel again, and now this?

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Finally DMC fans will have the same feeling as me when Metroid Prime 4 and ZOE 4K/VR was announced.

Or...what if I told you Bluepoint is remaking DMC 1 like they are doing with Shadow of the Colossus and that's the real surprise?

 

[lupinko]

Honestly I'm dissapointed they keep letting capcom Vancouver make the dead risings instead of the original japanese studio. They just don't get what the made the original so good. The original studio probably doesn't even exist anymore.

Dead Rising 2 was good but their project was supervised by Capcom Japan.

Looks like DR3 and DR4 were both their own works tho.

 

[Dahbomb]

This is coming same day as PSX....

Dante costume on DR4 same day as PSX...

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Are DMC fans finally going to get to eat?

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

Why did they sack Rotolo just to bring him back for MvCI again? People would've probably bought it if it had the real Frank West in the game.

I'd be ok with that. DMC1 could use an update.

two different developers within capcom.

 

[Aim_Ed]

They used the wrong Dante

 

[The Dear Leader]

Not my Dante

 

[GuardianE]

Sure, I guess.

Let’s go!!!!!

It is time.

Even taking that into account--which I don't think is true because dead rising 2 exists--Dead Rising 4 is a trash game even by its own standards. They made a perfectly good base for zombie warriors in Dead Rising 3 that they somehow managed to ruin in Dead Rising 4 simply out of incompetence and a rush to copy what everyone else in the gaming world without a thought as to how that would effect anything else in the game.

That's what makes dr4 such an oddly managed mess of a game. It's not simply bad, but bad in ways that don't make any sense given the context. It's just shockingly bad in a way that I haven't seen since something like DMC2 in the way of just sequels just utterly missing the point /and/ failing on it's own merits.

I mean I'd really like to see a good faith argument for why it's better than Dead Rising 3.

Most people I've seen defend the game start from the basis of the timer and try to make an argument that's based on a false reality that the series just suddenly jumped from DR2 to DR4 with nothing in the middle and instead of DR4 just being a bad game the argument becomes "it's just different" and "you're just an elitist asshole for not liking dumb zombie killing"

The unique thing about Dead Rising 4's badness stems from the fact that they already made a dumb zombie game that's main mechanical focus is just killing as many zombies as possible, and it's almost inarguably better than Dead Rising 4 in every way imaginable. More content, coop, double the weapons, each weapon has way more utility, drastically more in depth gameplay vs DR4's one button combat, ending isn't chopped off as dlc, actually has bosses, actually has side missions, the world isn't 80% a pointless empty shell of a game, etc

I could not agree more with this assessment. I actually had a decent amount of fun with DR3, but DR4 manages to take things that are inherently fun at the most basic level and still get them wrong. At its very best it's functional but forgettable; at worst it's shockingly bad.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

That doesn't look like Frank's face. Is this an outfit or a character swap?

The way Dead Rising 4 plays (ie, mosou w/ zombies) might as well make it full on 3rd person action and just put dante's controls and moveset in there.

Would end up being a better game than Dead Rising 4 was.

I would say the mall is more interesting to explore than anything that was in Dead Rising 3 but apart from that DR3 was just a better game overall.

 

[Kuraudo]

Featuring Dante from Every Game Except a New Devil May Cry.

 

[AzureFlame]

Best game in the series.

Only Dead Rising 1 was.

I'd call it a funny joke since Capcom is done with outsourcing (minus art, animation and mocap) for a long time.

I wouldn’t be so sure.
Will not be surprised to see outsourcing again. Just this time not throwing stuff out to the lowest bidder. Not like they’re exactly doing better keeping stuff in-house in terms of sales after DR4 and MVC:I after all.

 

[Nuno Pinto]

Devil May Cry 5 confirmed.

New Frank was the last thing wrong with 4. They could have re-dubbed the whole game and it would still have been garbage.

 

[Shiggy]

Is it just a Dante skin or is it part of the Capcom Heroes mode?

 

[Sesha]

Their problem is being cheap though. Lost Planet 3, Umbrella Corps, SFV, Infinite all have that in common. Projects that aren't cheap turn out fine, like DmC, Strider, RE7 and MH: World (we'll see about that one). Their real challenge is that + better marketing.

 

[Akiller]

For a minute i thought that screen was from MvCI rotfl

 

[Rushersauce]

Someone add 'skin' in there. I would if I could, but I suck at Photoshop.

DMC 1 Dante and Dead Rising 4

1 + 4 = 5

DMC 5 Confirmed!!!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Why does Dead Rising avoid Resident Evil stuff so often?
seems like it would be a perfect Easter Egg fit.

I'd certainly buy Dead Rising 4 for a Chris Redfield or heck even Frank cosplaying Jill skin.

This Dante looks like he had a rough life , the one in MVCI is fighting addiction.

They’ve had Easter eggs in the past and in the DR3 dlc you could play as tofu.

Dr4 has some re5 stuff in a couple of stores, and Mikami was a survivor in Dead Rising 1.

I would absoutely love a sailor Chris outfit, though.

Edit: With pipe!

 

[dracula_x]

People still play Dead Rising 4?

it doesn't matter. Actually, that news is not about DR4 I think, it's just another hint from Capcom about their unannounced upcoming title.

How did I miss that?
Only thing I had ever seen were the restaurants in Dead Rising 1.

 

[Revolutionary]

I'm reluctant to call this game bad since I did finish it, but it was absolutely mediocre. Definitely the weakest entry in the series.

 

[Lulubop]

Dante in Nocturne was so cool btw. Wish more rpgs did cross overs like that.


Also the time has come.

 

[Veedot]

Cool that it's DMC1 Dante.

Would love a DMC1 skin in Marvel Infinite.

This is all i ask for, throw DMC3 design in a fucking vault. Im so sick of Dante being pushed into his worst design

 

[Falchion]

That's pretty badass.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Jackpot!
