TXB's Dead Rising Review

Dead Rising is a game that takes the tried and true survival horror genre and turns it on its head. It melds brand-new gameplay ideas – and there really are a ton of new ideas to enjoy – with a B-movie style storyline that does an admirable job of keeping players engulfed in the strange goings-on in the Williamette Parkview Mall. It's part Grand Theft Auto, part Resident Evil, and part Dawn of the Dead. The best news? Despite taking so many ambitious chances in the game's design, it's still great fun to play from beginning to end. And isn't that what gaming is all about?

Its only a matter of time before the Media blacklist this game, I promise. Whats amazing to me is that noone sees a problem with this offering of Violence,Gore, and Massive blood.

The very fact that a game like this is being offered so losely is sad. Terrible (And please dont answer me with replys of "If you dont like it dont buy it" thats not the point.)

TheMART7239d ago

Why exactly?

I mean come on. GTA4, smacking people to get their car, shooting anyone is good?

Uhm shooting anything without blood is cool but this is not?

Having a gun in the states is normal but shooting in games and blood is forbidden?
Oh yeah and sex is a large problem. Why exactly?

Yep it's just like with movies. Adult movies shouldn't be watched. Adult games shouldn't be played by childeren. If childeren can, it's the problem of the parents. They should withhold them from it.

I really hate stupid censoring in games while other formats can have it all. While Americans can walk around with guns in realtime. Why it is a big scandal that sex is around everyone but no one wants to talk about it or see it it may only be at night in your own house with the lights off.

Get real

Jak4ever7239d ago

TheMart: Its about being a discerning parent and being a good example. After a while kids will see through your contradictions. Read bladestars comment #11.

TheMART7239d ago

So then don't play the games yourself if you want to be a good role model.

Or is it safe to play GRAW shooting people and Dead Rising when blood is turned of? Answer that question for me please. And read all of my posts also.

Yours and Bladestar are so simply work arounds, like the USA government is about sex-scenes in GTA or other sh*t but they allow people to buy guns actually

Isn't that a strange thing? Oh yeah they earn money on weapon sellings that's why it's allright!

Jak4ever7239d ago

Its called being a good example TheMart not a Hypocrite, so no i dont play games that feature Wonton Violence because i couldnt justify it to my son.

TheMART7239d ago

So how old is your son. If you don't buy the games he isn't able to play them. If he's old enough to buy his own games, he will probably have the age to play them. If not, he just gets too much pocketmoney.

For the rest. Put the console in your living room he could not easily cheat on playing 'illegal' games then.

He could rent a violent movie also, or porn or whatever don't you agree? It's just not the problem of the format, it's the problem of parents.

Jak4ever7239d ago

im not saying that your argument is not a good one, just that most parents are simply not being good examples I dont watch things that i cannot justify (in my heart) to my son as to why he cant , I try not to be a hypocrite. and my son is 6 years old.

TheMART7239d ago

Your son is 6 you say.

So if you don't buy the violent games, he won't play them simple.

If you want to play them, play them when he's in bed. Six year olds are in bed before 20.00 I guess.

If most parents can control themselves, games are not the problem. Anything then can be a problem. Besides the named movies, alcohol, drugs, smoking, violence of themselves and more is damage for childeren.

See what I mean? It's sh*tty but if parents are not able to prevent childeren to see it, they also won't turn the gore off probably. It's just of no use

The Snake7239d ago

Your original post states that it's sad that a game like this is being offered. What about us responsible citizens who know the difference between video games and reality. I don't have kids living in the house. Why is it sad that I'm being offered this game. Would you like to censor my whole life or just what I do when I'm at home?

Daewoodrow7238d ago (Edited 7238d ago )

I disagree with not selling these games, as others have said, it's all about the responsibility. My little brother is 5 years old, I love all kinds of violent videogames, but I don't touch them till he's asleep at 10pm, not even simple beat-em-ups like streetfighter.
There's no benefit to it. I end up playing games feeling tired and not into it, but the reward is I know my brother will grow up mentally stable.

They should allow people to turn off gore and massive blood; I can't play this in front of my kids; same goes for GOW.

TheMART7239d ago

Exactly, you just give it a right comment there.

You can't play it in front of your childeren, you shouldn't do it. I guess you also don't watch porn in front of your childeren? You don't have sex with your wive in front of your childeren?

Turning blood off. So shooting someone without blood, anyone dying on the ground isn't bad in front of your childeren! Hey man you should buy your childeren a gun that is that effective that blood isn't seen in real life on other people. Then it's all good, right!!!

I say: more bloody games but rated. The xbox is an adult console. If you want no blood go buy a Wii. People should watch their childeren and themselves when and how they're playing. Just the same when they're watching bloody movies or porn. It's just like that. Don't be so like the pope. Don't have sex before marriage and use no condems bullsh*t

Daewoodrow7238d ago

I wouldn't play Dead rising with my brother in the room gore or not! It's not the blood that's traumatic, man, my brother has seen his blood before! (and no, nobody hit him :)

It's like saying you'd let a three year old watch Doom the movie if the rock didn't say f**k so much!

Aramis0017239d ago

My **** blocker won't let me see the review, can someone please copy and paste it for me?

Jak4ever7239d ago (Edited 7239d ago )

Same here. How can anyone justify hacking heads off and blood gushing everywhere?? I dont get it, is this supposed to be fun?

But apparently, it seems that as long as there is not a backlash then its ok?.. its criminal.

TheMART7239d ago

It doesn't matter if you think it's fun or not. People are free to do or think what they want as long as one is not doing another person harm.

So why are guns on sale in USA for everyone? Why are there thriller movies? Why is there porn?

Man get over that strange religion or other things that withhold you of free thinking. It's just all about keeping it away from childeren. If parents fail in that, it's not the problem of the game

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_2049184d 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.

isarai183d ago

Ugh, the last one was so trash bro 😔

TheColbertinator183d ago

Hollywood blvd is already full of zombies anyway

Capcom announces next event to showcase Dead Rising and Resident Evil

Capcom has just announced its own event where it will showcase some of the upcoming titles it is working on.

Fishy Fingers705d ago

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

Feels like a deliberate omission from the title.

Babadook7704d ago

How wish it was...

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

Sonic1881705d ago

"Note: this event will not include news or updates for other titles."

Armyofdarkness705d ago

-Foxtrot705d ago

Friendlygamer705d ago

I'm hoping they bring the classic versions of 2 and 3 to console

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.

Underpants1199d ago

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

TheColbertinator1199d ago

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

hotnickles1199d 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.

Kakyouin1198d 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.

hotnickles1198d ago (Edited 1198d 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.

MasterChief36241198d ago (Edited 1198d 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 :(

hotnickles1198d 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.

Kakyouin1198d 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!

Nebaku1199d 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.
