This is nothing like the real dead rising games.

2 is th best. Still a certain level of difficulty while still having some corniness. 3 tossed out the difficulty and went straight bizarro. 4 leaned even further into the easiness and zaniness.
The internet hates everything, from Despacito, to TS latest single. Personally, try it out yourself. I know I would've missed tons of games if I followed internet instructions.
The whole inane "internet fans hate everything but I am the secret reasonable genius" thing doesn't really hold any water when you remember that for all the pandering to non-DR fans this game was sales poison and on discount a month after release.

Nah it died after vancouver playtested dead rising till it wasnt dead rising anymore
That was 3. Pretty much the same thing that happened with Bayo 2. Games wouldn't have existed if it weren't for them.

It's mainly repetitive. All your doing is killing zombies and that's kinda it. They didn't substitute the timer for another interesting mechanic. If all you want is just to walk around killing zombies then this will be for you, but don't be surprised if you find yourself bored after the second act.

Never have played any of the Dead Rising games so might check this out.
Better controls, no timer, runs pretty smooth, some fun weapons and mechs and a good checkpoint system.

I must have shitty taste because this is the only Dead Rising game I enjoyed enough to finish.

I still like 2 just not as much as 1. Also played them both pretty much back to back on PC this year. There a few QoL changes even in PC version of DR1, like loading times and multiple save slots also controls might have felt better cause of rock solid framerate compared to truly original x360 version. I like to call it a clunky masterpiece.

Your better off with the remasters of 1 and 2

Game was alright
Paid $30 at GameStop and got a free snow globe and got my moneys worth
If you get multiple of a weapon(forgot the name) you can pretty much breeze through the entire game and kill all bosses.

Someone can post the 50 min video that talk about nearly everything that went wrong with DR4. I've watch it quickly and this was a serious turn off for a fan of 1-2 like me.
Because it still features the elements that the series is known for, even if it's toned down to the point of irrelevance by the endgame.
DR4, based on impressions and my own reactions to the footage I've seen, is a game without an identity after the timer is removed. The gaming community at large may not have liked the series for what it was, but they continued to not care after they changed it. I'm still morbidly curious about it, so I'll probably pick it up down the line, but in its current form there's just nothing about the game that draws me in.
Yea, not all the time but def didn't run like shit like DR3 did in spots on Xbox One. They reduced a lot of the zombie crowds in DR4.

Boy, that subtitle.
It's a dumb joke, which is totally Dead Rising, but it is a weirdly middle school dumb joke. It's not corny, it's just shitty.

The word 'exclusive' was used by Microsoft during the reveal (the same as when Tomb raider was revealed by them and appears to be same with PUBG) but turns out was only ever a 12 month deal.
But LiK, that sounds like an upgrade. 🤔
It's still a a couple of months off. If you can, you should try DR2.

I think this is the main issue with the game in a sense. There were a lot of good QoL improvements. But why said QoL improvements weren't transplanted into something more akin into the original formal is beyond me. I'm imagining a DR1 style game with the controls and such of 4 and it'd be great (Outside of needing some more melee moves).
I still say they took away more than they gave in the positives and I don't even hate DR4. There was still a lot that game could've done better. It definitely doesn't stand out as much as the previous games.
It was an attempt at bridging both styles (Older style with more mainstream accessibility). It's not my favorite but it's definitely not a terrible game. Though I basically rank the DR series from how they came out. They all got worse IMO. though 2 isn't as much as a drop of from 1 as 3 was to 2.
It'll probably at least get the game past 1 million total but that'll probably be it. It'll be fighting agaisn't a lot of better titles again this holiday and missing black friday most will just ignore it again.

You may like or not like the timer, which will impact your enjoyment of the series as a whole.

That's strange.
4 is coming but 3 stays Xbox exclusive?

You can play them without paying any mind to the timer. Just only do main missions, pretend the timer aint there.
That's called Dying Light. best zombie game this gen so far.
This doesn't look good, do we know the price?

I had fun with Dead Rising 4... I cannot recommend Dead Rising 4 to anyone.
I think I have Stockholm Syndrome with this series now... Get just enough enjoyment out of it that I keep coming back, dissuade friends from making the same mistake.

The problem is that's a pretty boring way to experience Dead Rising.

3 has actual MS money in it's development. It's similar to Mass Effect 1. Capcom would need to pay MS to get the game so they could port to PS3.

Wouldn't a checkpoint system ruin the survival aspect of planning the safest routes? Or is that also just done away with in favor of mech-suits and gimmicky weapons?
$49.99, you can grab it for less if you have GCU, or Prime.

Yeah any sort of surviving and item management really is gone. It's just a beat em up now.
Game is crap but enjoy it i guess PS4 owners?
The biggest waste of money in gaming history (making this a timed exclusive) can now be fully... played by you guys.
Everyone gets to be disappointed now!
As strange as Street Fighter IV on xbox but V staying exclusive to PS4
And exactly the same case of sony/microsoft actually putting money on the development for both

I feel like the franchise could maybe learn a couple of things from Fortnite. That game gives off some Dead Rising vibes.
Not at all.

Oh yeah im definitely aware of the timers so thats why I held off on Dead Rising 1 and 2. I dont wanna feel rushed, just wanna take my time exploring the map and making crazy weapons to kill zombies with!

It's not just killing zombies it's killing them en masse. There is zero sense of danger. It gets very repetitive since it's basically walk from place to place as overpowered zombie slayer.
A lot like 3 except even more godly.

Have you considered a Warriors game
