GI:Capcom knows that the unveiling of Dead Rising 3 at E3 2013 had some fans worried that the wacky spirit of the series was left behind for a more gritty take on zombie survival. The team's hands-on demo at Gamescom 2013 let players explore the gigantic new environment while wearing a shark costume, a suit of armor, or while cruising around in a flamethrower-motorcycle/plow wearing a bull mask. They don't want fans to worry: the insanity is in full bloom. We spoke with the game's producer Mike Jones at Gamescom about the game's Nightmare difficulty mode and their comedic take on the open-world formula.
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...
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.
VGChartz's Patrick Day-Childs: "2020 is upon us! The past decade has had some downs, like the influx of monetisation within full games, Blizzard's community backlash and EA winning the worst company in America award twice, but also some ups, like the leaps in understanding gaming from more mainstream companies to wholesome news like gamers helping preserve a controller signed by someone’s deceased mum.
The decade has also been the highlight of some… bizarre news, and I decided collect together some of the more obscure and quirky stories to make you giggle or question what the hell happened this decade."

I'm so down with that line it's totally gay.
