I loved the original Dead Rising but I seriously could not stand the stupid save system! It drove me insane!

TheSleepyGamer5746d ago

The save system made no sense at all. You take a leak to save the game? It seems completely out of place.

HolyOrangeCows5745d ago (Edited 5745d ago )

I don't understand why people are so against the DR save system. I thought it was fine.
Edit: Now that I think about it, save points were sort of spread out. Maybe they should just have more save points.

They just need to fix survivor AI and make the cutscenes a bit less campy. Or maybe more campy.

Edit:
Otis interrupting and only being able to get side missions from him was pretty annoying.

MariaHelFutura5746d ago

I still play Dead Rising and love it. All they NEED to fix IMO is 2 things. First, make the same time system but have it be waaaaaay longer so you have more time to mess around and still stay on task. Second, make the save point more accessible cause you can`t have a "insta-save" system cause it wouldn`t work out well if you save it when your low on health and surrounded by zombies. I`m super interested to see how the co-op works and the weapon building.

FACTUAL evidence5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

The Otis thing was retarded. I almost guarantee he won't be in the DR2. Secondly, my main gripe with DR1 was the fact that I could BARELY stay on the story mode. It was hard to try to stay on track, too many timed objectives. On top of that I had a SDTV so I couldn't even read anything lol.

pat_11_55746d ago

Otis was ridiculously annoying, I can't believe you liked him.

ThanatosDMC5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

And here i believed in all the hours that i played in DR1 was perfect...

The time thing is forgiveable because it allowed for multiple playthroughs for all those multiple endings. I was surprised by those cultists and the pain in the ass military.

TheSleepyGamer5746d ago

I almost included the Spec Ops. and Overtime Mode as a whole in the list. Those guys took way too many bullets to kill and their inclusion meant that hardly any Zombies were to be seen. For a Zombie-based game I found myself asking "what's the point of that?"

I liked the sense of urgency that the timer gave but there didn't seem like there was enough time to have fun doing random things as well as complete all of the missions in time.

Even if you did ignore the missions, Otis was always there to remind you, always...

ThanatosDMC5744d ago

I hated Otis with a passion... i wish i could've use my sledgehammer on him.

Reibooi5746d ago

disagree about the voice acting. It wasn't perfect in the first game or anything but it was by no means as bad as they made it sound.

Rocket Sauce5745d ago (Edited 5745d ago )

All you have to do is go to a save point and...save. What's the problem?

pat_11_55745d ago

Because it would be much easier to press start and save

Rocket Sauce5745d ago (Edited 5745d ago )

I could understand that being a minor inconvenience, but some people talk about this like it ruined the game for them. I think this gets mentioned more than the unbelievably stupid AI.

There's at least one save point in every area of the game - even in the courtyard, and I'm pretty sure there's one in the parking garage, too. It shouldn't take more than a minute or two to get to a restroom and save.

I dunno, I never had a problem with it. It's not really different from any other game. Maybe it's kind of a shock after getting used to automatic saving.

Please fix Dead Rising 2! I liked the first one but was also very annoyed by it.

Wizziokid5746d ago

as long as they make it more fun I don't mind, the first game was really boring for me.

Alos885746d ago

I hated the fact that if you said you didn't want to save you had to start all over again. That feature needs to die.

MGRogue20175746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

From what I can remember.. The only problem I had with the first game was the stupid AI, The NPCs just wouldn't follow you.. they always seemed to deliberately stay behind & get themselves attacked.. Almost as if they didn't want to be rescued lol

Also, the fact that if you died, You would need to start all over again was really what made me say "fuck off" to the game..

Dead Rising 2 doesn't look to have any of these issues as far as I know.. so that's good & I'll be looking forward to checking out the sequel, for sure. :)

TheSleepyGamer5746d ago

I once gave a Survivor a Shotgun and he was still somehow scared of moving... If I had a Shotgun I'd be running towards the damn Zombies.

pat_11_55746d ago

I've totally seen that happen. Crazy stuff, I sometimes wonder how a game gets released with AI issues like that.

ThanatosDMC5746d ago

Yeah, they like getting stuck in the little water area. Endings off the zombies from them... then BAM! I accidentally smash their head in with my sledghammer!

Report: New Dead Rising Game in Development, Now Set In Hollywood

A new Dead Rising is in the works, and we have the first plot details on this entry, which takes Frank West back to the action.

scorpio_2049139d ago

Please make it in a theme park or something extravagant like the original mall and casino(but different). DR is all about bigger than life environments, not some realistic gritty town.

isarai139d ago

Ugh, the last one was so trash bro 😔

TheColbertinator139d ago

Hollywood blvd is already full of zombies anyway

How wish it was...

"RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard for iPhone/iPad/Mac/PSVR2."

Canceled Dead Rising: Dia De Los Muertos Gameplay Surfaces Online

Videos of the canceled Dead Rising: Dia De Los Muertos have come to light, giving us a look into what the game could have been.

Underpants1154d ago

Shame loved the Dead Rising series. Even enjoyed 4 but not sure why they removed the campain co op.

TheColbertinator1154d ago

A zombie lover like me will always wait for a new Dead Rising.

hotnickles1154d ago

Dead rising 1 was one of my favorite games back in the day. I never got into the others like I did DR1. DR2 was ok but 3 and 4 were kinda lame.

Kakyouin1154d ago

Absolutely agree with you 100%. 1 was A MASTERPIECE even though it had several things that were not that good. But still a very solid title. And the ending was EPIC.

hotnickles1154d ago (Edited 1154d ago )

I agree. I’ll never forget grinding the zombies in the parking tunnels to get the mega buster weapon. Its uniqueness will always stand out to me and is high up on my all-times.

MasterChief36241154d ago (Edited 1154d ago )

When I got over the rather bland art direction of Dead Rising 3, I actually fell in love with that one. Dead Rising 4 on the other hand.... :(

It's a real shame the Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + Alpha DLC isn't available on PC. It was one of the best DLCs I've ever played, it was so fun! But alas... I no longer have my Xbox One :(

hotnickles1154d ago

I should give it another try on the newer Xbox controllers. I remember jumping over to the Xbox controller was a big peeve for me. I loved the 360 controller and dead rising was one of my very first games on it. The Xbox one controller felt cheaply and loose and it bugged me. I don’t feel that way with the series x one.

Kakyouin1154d ago

Never played 3 or 4 but I read they weren't the same. As for 1 I guess the character played the "path of the hero" so well, no other title could keep it up with. 2 had to have another instance with Frank. And that's what I loved about the first: Frank was a good for nothing and still was the hero. He was not funny, he was not the hero everybody wanted. He was just there "for a good story". And the psychos..... my goodness!! Adam, the snipers, the three prisoners on the garden, the cult! MY GOODNESS!

Nebaku1154d ago

Good Riddance. Capcom Vancouver's entries are a big stain on what was a great, charming game series.

The ideas shown here are the pinnacle of their ineptness. Yeah, let's remove items on the ground, a core mechanic to the franchise, and one that people would show they still love in BOTW 2 years later.
