The original Dead Rising was a great game but it was also very flawed. Here are five things Dead Rising 2 needs to avoid to be awesome.
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.
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?
I loved the original Dead Rising but I seriously could not stand the stupid save system! It drove me insane!
Please fix Dead Rising 2! I liked the first one but was also very annoyed by it.
as long as they make it more fun I don't mind, the first game was really boring for me.
I hated the fact that if you said you didn't want to save you had to start all over again. That feature needs to die.
From what I can remember.. The only problem I had with the first game was the stupid AI, The NPCs just wouldn't follow you.. they always seemed to deliberately stay behind & get themselves attacked.. Almost as if they didn't want to be rescued lol
Also, the fact that if you died, You would need to start all over again was really what made me say "fuck off" to the game..
Dead Rising 2 doesn't look to have any of these issues as far as I know.. so that's good & I'll be looking forward to checking out the sequel, for sure. :)
