This is why I hope The Last of Us isn't zombies. So many zombie games.

JsonHenry4545d ago

Might as well cut out guns, a storyline, quests, missions, and polygons out 'The Last of Us' while you're at it. Too many games with those in them. /s

Who cares what is in the game if the game itself is fun?

xPhearR3dx4545d ago

Name them. How many retail zombie games have come out this year? I can only think of two, Dead Island and Dead Rising 2: Off The Record.

Yui_Suzumiya4545d ago

Zombie Apocalypse: Never Die Alone, Rage, Shadows of the Damned, The Haunted: Hells Reach, House of the Dead: Overkill (Extended Cut), Resident Evil: CODE Veronica X HD to name a few..

Laxman4545d ago

I love zombies. I love zombie films, and zombie games are some of my favourites. If anything, I would like to see more Zombie games (or just more polished ones). Still waiting for a proper Zombie RPG.

Ascalon944544d ago

they need to make a legit zombie rpg set in an open world like Skyrim is.

Chnswdchldrn4545d ago

I dont care if there are a thousand WW2 games, a game type that has been done to death before we switched to modern warfare, if you can make one that is good then I'll play it

SuperNerd4545d ago

Dude i got a fever and the only prescription is more zombie games

DaveMan4545d ago

Why does the genere matter. Give me a game was an amazing grasping narrative, with a world and atmosphere that sucks you in combined with stellar gameplay is a win regardless of wether it has zombies or not.

Better not b the ps3 exclusive
Still thinking its left for dead duology

xPhearR3dx4545d ago

Why would it be a PS3 Exclusive? The franchise started on the 360. If you remember correctly, PS3 didn't even get the arcade game versions of Dead Rising 2. Which we're actually pretty good for the asking price.

Laxman4545d ago

People disagree with your facts :/

You weren't bagging out the PS3 at all, you were providing factual evidence to this guys indecipherable comment.

Starbucks_Fan4545d ago

Why can't they have a game in Indiana for once?! Fight zombies through the corn mazes :D

Micro_Sony4545d ago

Indiana is known for children of the corn AND NOT ZOMBIES.

WhiteLightning4545d ago

Really.....why do they not use Frank West, I think one of the many reasons apart from Capcoms milking ways, why we had DR2: Off the record was because fans liked Frank more.

<sigh>

Hopefully they'll have a no time limit mode or at least leave the whole 3 day time limit thing as a "hardcore" mode setting.

ChocolateGiddyUp4545d ago (Edited 4545d ago )

I was with you until you said "no time limit." It wouldn't be Dead Rising without time management.

WhiteLightning4545d ago (Edited 4545d ago )

Yeah but you can't deny that there is a lot...and I mean a lot of people who don't like the time limit.

I'm not saying remove it, just make it into a mode where we can select it on or off....or as I said make it a hardcore mode thing

Whats the point of a massive sand box zombie game when you only have two choices....do all the main missions at once or mess around. I mean you can't do a main missions, a side mission, mess around for an hour or two, then do another side mission, then go do another main mission because you fail because you didn't get their in time....then you have to restart it meaning all the side missions you've done are reset. Plus with the time it takes to load (DS2 had long loading times) it's a pain in the ass

ChocolateGiddyUp4545d ago (Edited 4545d ago )

True, and I want everybody to love Dead Rising, but I'll just never understand why it's such a problem. Seriously, all you have to do is look at the watch every once in a while. If you're feeling overwhelmed, just drop everything and mess around.

I'd rather they build on the Sandbox Mode from Off the Record (which I loved) than move away from the one thing that makes Dead Rising so unique.

And let me play as Frank, goddammit!

coolbeans4545d ago

I expect a neon-light call back to the 80's like Drive, but that's just me.

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...

Darksonic221383d ago

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

InklingGirl1383d ago

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

1383d ago
MadLad1383d ago

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

Darksonic221383d 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.

ColdSin1383d ago

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

darthv721383d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1383d ago

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

RamRod881383d 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.

DeadManMMX1383d 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.

Gamerking821383d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891383d ago

haha yes it may....good one.

The Decade's Bizarre and Quirky Gaming News

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."
