Twinfinite Writes: Dead Rising 4 removes the timer feature that that the rest of the series has used, but its removal feels like it might hold the game back a little.

The timer feature sucked. It rushed you and when you have a game about exploring an open hub, being creative and enjoying yourself in between a timer does not help that at all.

They should have made 2 modes
= everyone happy.

brewin2727d ago

They did. And people still bitched about that lol. They took campaign co op and the timer out and made a separate co op mode that features the timer. Its literally the best solution and people are still mad.

Kingthrash3602726d ago

Oh...then what the hell???
Is one of them dlc or something?
If not then why the complaining? ? Lol

Xristo2727d ago (Edited 2727d ago )

I agree. On the other DRs I would use a mod that would slow the timer down. Too each their own, but I like to take my time and explore/experiment, and the timer, like you said, prevented that style of game play.

GrubsterBeater2726d ago

I hate timers like that, and that is exactly why I can't stand Monster Hunter. If it wasn't timed, then I would enjoy it, but it just annoys the hell out of me when they rush you with a timer for no reason other than "it's a timer, because reasons."

-Foxtrot2726d ago

It spoilt Simpsons Hit and Run for me when I was younger. Most of the missions featured a timer to get to point A to point B.

When you have a timer it rushes the game along so you complete it faster.

xDealtwithIt2726d ago

It wasny really about exploring it was about tackling the game multiple times in a different ways that changed the game with each play through.

The timer is what kept me away from the series. Now that it's gone I can jump into this series with this installment

Cy2726d ago

I *hated* the timer, but I can understand why fans of the series would be upset by its removal.

TC7312726d ago

DR is just Saint's Row with zombies now. Ugh.

Servbot412726d ago

No story co-op no buy. Will probably be paid DLC in the future knowing Capcom.

What Happened To The Dead Rising Series?

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...

Darksonic221394d ago

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl1393d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic221394d ago

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.

ColdSin1393d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

darthv721393d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1393d ago

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

RamRod881394d ago

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.

DeadManMMX1394d ago

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.

Gamerking821393d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891393d ago

haha yes it may....good one.
