... No. The Call of Duty comment is what those from the dev team themselves have openly stated upon 3's reveal and said mentality is the very cause of what a misguided turn this franchise took, making drastic concessions in a comical attempt to lure in a demographic that never has and never will show more than a brief fleeting interest (if that) in Dead Rising. All the while at the expense of what made Dead Rising replayable and stand out from all other zombie-oriented games with its unique premise.
Thanks for the incorrect assumption though.
If only Dead Rising originally encouraged replays and exploration in a variety of ways combined with a compact environment.
No, the solution would be putting some actual thought into the game's design again for a change.
That's a demo timer since it immediately cuts to a "end of the ride buddy" prompt once it expires; otherwise the developers themselves wouldn't repeatedly be stating there won't a timer. That's ignoring 3's being far too lenient as well.
Even on a fresh save Nightmare was piss easy. The game was very eager to quickly power up the player to the point of threat being non-existent.
Empty but whole.
yeah but Inafune and a small team from Capcom Japan were involved creatively, with 3 and 4 it's just a Vancouver production.
In an alternative universe, Dead Rising could have been a highly respected game franchise that has the same game philosophy of Dark Souls. However, instead of having a Lovecraft story, it would a satire of culture.
Nah, instead Dead Rising is to turn into what it's mocked. Replacing Frank's voice actor just further cements it. it's the Dynasty Warriors of Zombies. Just forgettable.

Fair enough, I never read that. It's being used across other games as well though, even if it's becoming less relevant.

Anyone figure out how there are Christmas decorations, since there weren't any in 1

Because its not a reboot.
nobody wants the same game philosophy of dark souls in this series but you. keep that shit out of here.
seems like people are forgetting the general idea of DR. Now its the Dynasty Warriors of Zombies but it wasn't when they had an achievement to kill 53,594 zombies in the first game?
It was already in the original, design wise. The sequels were dumbed down, and critically and commercially they've not benefited from the changes.
Seems like people have forgotten that the original game was brilliantly designed in terms of game mechanics, and brought a fresh look to replayability. Shamefully. The franchise is a husk of what it used to be, and just caters to the lowest common denominator. There are already 100s of zombies games where you mindless kill zombies, Dead Rising doesn't need to be just that - this is why Dead Rising 3 is known throughout the community as a turd.

I'm a little worried about removing the timer completely, but the bottom line is I feel like the series is in good hands and I'm willing to give Capcom Vancouver the benefit of the doubt. I don't think they've gotten nearly enough credit for their work on Dead Rising. DR2 and OTR were fantastic and I thought DR3 was the best game in the series.
I adore DR1 but I've also loved the direction they've taken the franchise. This is easily my most wanted game for 2016.

Huh? This takes place way after 1. There were people in the middle of a zombie outbreak putting up decorations?

It's probably a safe zone and the game starts with someone letting a queen out to start the infection...

I think we both know who is goin to be starting the new outbreak. It's pretty obvious who the main antagonist will be after the ending of 3.
I'm just assuming that the outbreak happened during the Christmas season and all the decorations were already up.
You know, how like after Thanksgiving all the stores need to hammer it into your head that Christmas is coming and look Christmas carols over and over again, reminding you that you can't escape...
You know... I wouldn't disagree with someone that Dead Rising 1 was the best in the series (it's still my favorite, but that might be nostalgia talking), but if I want to play a Dead Rising game nowadays, I always go back to 3 despite having all of them (save for Off the Record
, and Chop til You Drop, lol
So, honest question, they said there wouldn't be a timer on the game, but why i see it in this demo?

Game looks great, but what the hell did they do to Frank? They ruined the iconic look of the franchise character.
No receding hair, no buy.
Edit: just saw the pics above. Fuck me, he looks so generic. I know it'll be a fun game, but ugh.

YES YES YES YES
Is this Frank going back to Willamette or is it a remake?
it has the improvised weapon junk from the later games. I always felt the more mundane the items were in DR1, that made the situations even more outrageous.

Game looks great in motion! Still bummed it's going with DR3's drab color pallete. Even the Christmas decorations look dull because of it.
There won't be a timer in the game?!?

It looked like the objective name at the bottom had a bar ticking down but I thought it was confirmed there's no timer.
How do you make a Dead Rising game at Christmas and not have there be a timer and the ultimte objective being getting a present for your kid under the Christmas tree before 6am on the 25th?

Good eye, it's definitely ticking down.
I wonder if that was just for demo purposes though, as it ran out just as the demo timer cut the show.
The devs were on IGNs stream earlier and said its a sequel that has Frank going back to Willamette. They didn't say why. Secret for now.
There's no way the objectives aren't timed.

The demo is so damn fun. The weapons are crazy. That powersuit is soooo awesome! My fav of the show.
Some things I learned talking to a Capcom Vancouver rep:
1. They will not be talking exact resolution nor framerate at E3, but frame rate is already improved from DR3.
2. Game is already running more zombies on screen than DR3.
3. There will be more variety of zombies than DR3.
4. DR4 uses improved version of DR3 engine. Development started 8 months after finishing DR3.
5. Capcom Vancouver is developing, MS is pubilishing. 1 year exclusive with MS. Slightly different deal than DR3.
