Back in the summer of 2006 Capcom released a brand new IP titled Dead Rising. It was a brand new take on the zombie style video game, from the developer who basically started the entire zombie video game craze with the Resident Evil franchise. Unlike Resident Evil, Dead Rising was a much more comical, laid back take on the idea of a zombie outbreak. Placing you in a mall in the middle of nowhere USA, and giving you freedom to kill zombies when you want and with whatever you want. It was an amazing experience, which brought some much needed originality and freshness to a genre that was lacking.
Fast forward 4 years and now Capcom is getting ready to release Dead Rising 2 with a whole slew of new additions and some much needed improvements.
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
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...
Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁
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.
They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.
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.
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.
Some video game weapons are so outlandish they could never realistically be used, and that's why they're on our list of the 10 most impractical weapons in gaming.
