There are few to no in-store displays. The title carries a restrictive game-as-porn Z rating. It is an exclusive for a largely unpopular American console. And, it looks like Dead Rising is going to be a hit in Japan.
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.
Shame loved the Dead Rising series. Even enjoyed 4 but not sure why they removed the campain co op.
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.
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.
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.
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 :(
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.
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!
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.
TheGamer Writes "Dead Rising first burst onto the scene 16 years ago. At the time the game was a groundbreaking technical achievement, and a great showpiece for the then-new Xbox 360 due to how many zombies it could cram onto the screen at once. However, it was more than a mere tech-demo. Dead Rising captivated fans with engaging gameplay that allowed you to use almost anything as a weapon, packing that choice with unique bosses and an iconic protagonist in Frank West."
I definitely agree.
What I always found amazing in DR1 was how it was a survival game first and a sandbox game second, and not the other way around...
Your weapons were resources for specific situations, and you always had to juggle your resources and plan your runs... "I'm gonna get two X weapons on this store for hordes and then I'll get to that other store and get Y weapon for Z boss".
Although the trend of combining weapons that started in DR2 and so on was fun, it removed that layer of strategy and streamlined the series too much by catering to the "it's too hardddd :((" crowd, since you only had to focus on crafting the same 2-3 kinds of strong weapons and you're good for the rest of the game...
This was one of the games I got an Xbox 360 for back when. Dead rising. Lost odyssey. Blue dragon. Alan wake. Anyway the last 3 didn't disappoint. I thought dead rising was kinda eh. I didn't like the setup or how it played out. It's been years but if I remember right it was some kind of timer during the missions or whatever you wanna call them. Straight turned me off. I never even tried the sequels.
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
Cool, maybe the Z rating is actually attracting curious gamers. I know I would be attracted to a Zombie game that had the highest rating possible for a video game. It honestly is a fantastic game, give the demo a try on the marketplace and you'll see. It so detailed, in what you can do. Make food, change clothes, level your skills up. It's a RPG in a sort of way.
360 is very disrepectfal!!!!!!!
Considering the effort MS has put into marketing the 360 in the land of the rising sun, it pains me to see most of the japanese gaming public neglect it!!
if the wii (once released) sells at the rate of ds's vs psp's, then i guess its totally a gaming thing, but if the ps3 sells like the ps2, then you know that the japanese are actually showing some racist tendencies!!!!!
i wasn't trying to steal your thunder homes..peaz :)
Wasn't there some recent report that this game wasn't doing well in Japan?
*UPDATE*
Here is what I was talking about. Its amazing how things change so fast!
http://www.news4gamers.com/...
and that is making a news....
i hope those rpgs change something for the xbox360...
the point about japanese gamers not sensitive to 360 is bullsh*t....
what does 360 have for them or what did xbox had for them. they dont play fps at all neither third person shooters.....
every wow game on 360 is fps, even most of the rpgs...mass effect, halo, gow, and one billion other AAA fps games........
360 have sports games loved by america and fps, no platformers, no japanese animes, no great rpgs (as of yet) and you people are talking about competeing against a name that has delivered for more than 10 years in japan.....
consider this even the playstation could not get rid of nintendo since after 10 years even now it is competing hard for its place...
360 has nothing to offer but fps which japanese dont even know how to play
you have to deliver more than your competetor and even then it takes years....
e.g. xbox live service combined with fps and sport games is all most americans want to play, this is the reason why 360 is gaining ground in America
