The comedy made it unique... Now it's going to be a copy of other games and a air strike. I want to be able to dress as megaman and run over zombies with a tricycle D:<

Kanzes4754d ago

If you see the extended footage, it still funny, you can wear a shark suit in the middle of apocalypse :)

Army_of_Darkness4754d ago

What was scary about it to begin with??

cleft54754d ago

Yeah the comedy was the main redeeming factor for a lot of people who liked Dead Rising. Sad too see that change but maybe it will be for the best.

Urusernamesucks4754d ago

Comedy kinda Killed the Suspense for me. I couldn't take the game serious that way.

fsfsxii4754d ago

Thats what made "Dead Rising" Dead Rising

Cmk01214754d ago

true for sure, still a turn off to some because the zombies were just there and not much of a real threat or scary. just something to easily crush and move on.

DonFreezer4754d ago

I have a feeling that if this was a ps4 exclusive you would welcome the horror elements easier ps fanboys.

Omegabalmung4754d ago

There's a horror element in this game? I thought it was going after the CoD crowd?

MysticStrummer4754d ago (Edited 4754d ago )

I welcome the horror elements. It's the comedy that ruins DR for me.

Mr_Nuts4754d ago (Edited 4754d ago )

Oh for the love of god stop making it about fanboys, the game is going away with what made it unique and fun

I mean it's supposed to be a horror game, where your alone in the Zombie apocalypse but he calls in an air strike....REALLY.

Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Dead Space, dmc etc...all games that we complained about because they moved away from what made them so special. What platform it's on has nothing to do with it.

When a game moves away from what it was once like it usualy sucks...history has taught us that.

@Mr Nuts

I am personally glad to hear this news....at least now there is an option to play this game seriously or just bullshit around. The old way is what turned me off from the game, it was fun for a little while but just became to silly, and I began to wonder why I was playing it.

At least with this new way, I could beat the game (seriously), then come back on my second go around and have fun with it. How could anyone be opposed to that?

nick3094754d ago

I personally really liked the gameplay.

warewolfSS4754d ago

Me. Nuts your a fanboy to the fullest. So atop

Mr_Nuts4754d ago (Edited 4754d ago )

@warewolfSS

How...please explain to me how

OR

Are you just saying that because thats what most trolls do on here when they are p***** over someones comment, can't think of anything witty to say so go straight to the "Your a fanboy" phrase even though it's not true.

Find it hilarious though that you say that when most of your comments are always towards anything Sony related. Why is it the only thing Xbox fanboys can say is that "Your a fanboy" saying when they are themselfs are you projecting your own flaws onto other people so you look like you have a counter argument or something.

Lets not forget most of you have only joined not too long ago, roughly when E3 was or the Xbox reveal.

DonFreezer4754d ago

Stop it.Just go to youtube and look at the dislikes.Every one of the Xbox One games has been disliked to death because of stupid fanboys.

Urusernamesucks4754d ago

Actualy one of the devs Already explained that In an interview. He said that the main character has a buddy over at a military command center, and its interesting because the way you would contact him would be Through real life in your phone and ask him for some assist. Of course this is an ai not a real person.

i like the horror aspect, i didnt play dead rising because of that, the zombies were more so a interactive nuisance than an enemy in the game. hopefully that changes this go round. i understand why fans of the series are mad though, dead space changes its theme on the 3rd game and it sucked, gears of war judgement changed its style and it was one of the worst of the series etc...

Timed Exclusive. <-- Fanboyism or Truth

This really needs a re-release. Enjoyed all 4 games with 3 probably being my second favourite.

ocelot07335d ago

It once was. But the recent DR1 remake took that spot.

Christopher335d ago

It's 2013! I'm on my Xbox One and streaming from my laptop to my chromecast! Life couldn't be better!

TheColbertinator334d ago

Now I can stream my Xbox One from my TV to my phone to my tablet while I'm inside my refrigerator.

monkey602335d ago

It's not even the best one 🤨

ocelot07335d ago

Surprised this didn't get a Series S/X boost. I believe it's still locked to 30fps. Then again so is the PC version until you go into the .ini file and change it.

MetroidFREAK21335d ago

Genuinely surprised this still hasn't been ported

What Happened To The Dead Rising Series?

Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.

Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...

Darksonic222170d ago

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl2169d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

MadLad2170d ago

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic222170d ago

Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.

ColdSin2169d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

darthv722169d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad2169d ago

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

RamRod882170d ago

They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.

DeadManMMX2170d ago

This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.

Gamerking822169d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18892169d ago

haha yes it may....good one.
