Dead Rising 4 outsold The Last Guardian on release week

archive.is/A5mhR

In the UK at least.

...

No surprise

who gives a shit

It's fucking out already?

Oh hey, dead rising 4 was released? How is it? As bad as one would expect based on capcoms records?

They turned it into a zombie-themed Saints Row and the ending makes it look like Frank dies. You have to buy Overtime as DLC. It's made by hipster cucks from Canada. So, yes, it's terrible.

...

It dropped like a surprise.
For being so hyped, they didn't hype the release date that much.

Reading the metacritic bullshit on it, PS3 game ported to PS4, and lots of pretentious buzzwords, what the fuck is Sony Japan even doing? there was no hype or marketing, or did they fear another No Man's Sky fiasco?

It's probably the better of the two games.

Yep. They didn't bother letting people know when it'd come out though.


I like the christmas setting but I hate the fact that the overtime mode is basically DLC, and its easier than dead rising 3 apparently.

It doesn't have a time limit, and there's no survivor escorting, and no psychopath bossfights.

how the hell do you outsell on a lesser selling console?
this makes no sense

Sounds dead boring

DmC topped charts in the UK too. UK means nothing

Oh…
I guess its hipster looking reporter ladies time to shine…

Does Capcom have no oversight for the games they outsource or are they planning to do an OTR that is good?


Why…

First Megaman, then Lost Planet and now Dead Rising… I guess I have nobody to blame but myself for even entertaining the idea that capcom may have changed after hearing the praise they have been getting for their ports…

Didn't know it could rain indoors.

Fucking NuMales

Why are you even talking about this? Does this game even deserve conversation? Are you people really okay with generic AAA garbage being the talk of the day on this board rather than talking about games that are actually good. Why not a thread about the first Dead Rising?

There seem to be boss fights but they removed the cool intro cutscenes and their death cutscenes outside of a few. I just don't get it.

You forgot DmC.


I was thinking more like how they replaced it with the "Maniacs" system which is just a bunch of really forgettable cosplayers.

Devil May Cry was never my thing.
I knew their feel but it wasn't my feel.

Unsurprising. It'll probably do well. Despite the controversy of frank dying at the end its still a stereotypical western game, with a white male protagonist saving people and generally being a badass, with at least from what i've seen very little sjw pandering. Normalfags have shit taste as always, theyre just tired of the pc bullshit like most everyone else.

Wait…
Does the game only have one ending? or is it that he dies in all of the endings?

Weren't there already some versions of the "maniacs" though in DR3? There was the motorcycle gang even after you kill the leader and some military damage sponges, along with football zombies.

It's shit.

It's pretty obvious what they're doing; if the game doesn't reach their sales goals and keeps getting shit on by everyone they just say in DR5 that the Frank in the last game isn't the real Frank because reasons. Then they'll hire the original VA sell it based on "THE REAL FRANK IS BACK"

Yes. I hear it's shit game with shit frame rate. Very simple puzzles for most of the game until it kind of gets good toward the end.

Honestly, even though dr4 looks like shit, it still looks better than the last guardian. Broken controls, unresponsive ai, and bad level design. At least dead rising 4 looks like there might be some fun hidden in there somewhere.

I remember in the last DR4 thread someone made a post wishing that the twist of the game was that the Frank West we were playing as was an imposter. That would have been a fun twist that could have actually set up your DR5 idea in a way that wasn't completely stupid.

You can say this about almost any game. Even in the shittiest of games, you can have a chuckle by making the character spin around in a circle like a moron.

funny joke

wouldn't be the first time Capcom has done it

Its the new coke strategy

If your thinking about the same user I am then his idea was that the Frank in 4 was an actor playing Frank West and they're were filming a movie about the Willamette mall incident but they were using real zombies in the movie and that ends up causing another outbreak so the real Frank West has to team up with the fake Frank West.

it really is a great idea.

...

Wow, a decade of vaporware and this is just it.

Oh yeah it was that. That would have been much better.

What a shit ending. In the end the kid abandons his pet thats been protecting his ass all this time. Typical.

he's a complete asshole, he's been turned into another Donte, funny that capcom does this to all of their main characters

Is this supposed to be a good thing?
A bad thing?
Holla Forums shits on both, so what's even the point of this thread?
All i know is that UK has some of the shittiest taste in gaming known to man, some of the worst games ever made consistently get #1 spot on UK charts.

test

So why do Capcom keep outsourcing their IPs to the west again? I'm a retard with no knowledge about economics but these decisions clearly work against their favor. It's like watching a kid trying to jam the wrong block in a shape puzzle.

I'm glad you put an image alongside that analogy otherwise we wouldn't have been able to figure it out.

Is this a surprise somehow? I don't know sales numbers on Ico and SotC but I have to assume they only did "pretty good". As big a release as it is to people who care, it's a niche title in the grand scheme of things.

Fixed

I would guess & say it's because of either saving money so that they don't need to pay much for their own team or trying to appeal to westerners as the Japanese might not care about games like Dead Rising as much as the westerners do.
One thing is certain: Talents have been leaving to other companies, Capcom has no idea what to do outside of Street Fighter & Monster Hunter, & most of the dormant IPs that they try to revive end up in failures.

not big surprise

Well at first it was apparently Keiji Inafune's idea, but then he left and they keep doing it anyway, so I don't know. My guess is they don't know either.

Well the ending is that his student Vick takes down the government using "Guerilla Journalism as a Social Justice Warrior", I shit you not. So expect this to be the new norm.

There is one time Capcom did this that actually worked, Strider 2014. Double Helix, a previously terrible studio, supervised and assisted by Capcom Osaka. Was a really good game.

Nip business is cancer because the people at the top are the oldest and most out of touch, and disagreeing with your higher ups shows disrespect which is beri dishonorabru. Nip devs might be incredibly competent because of extreme work ethic and not being raised in a culture that worships movies so heavily, but unfortunately the people that manage them are shit.

75% of Dragon's Dogma was cut because Crapcom execs didn't think it would sell enough despite it doing quite respectably even though it had massive performance/gameplay issues, no marketing, and no PC version for 5 years. DmC and Dead Rising were outsourced because the execs thought that since those games were popular in the west, they'd be even more popular if some shitty western dev made them. And Monhun has avoided the PC market because in Japan everyone and their mother has a 3DS there unlike the rest of the world, so of course the suits think Monhun is a game that will only sell on handheld systems in Japan (despite the gargantuan amount of South Korean and Chinese Monhun clones on PC).

Britfag here can confirm, shit I know someone who thinks the civil war 2 comics are good and mafia 3 was brilliant,

Britfag here.
DR4 is being advertised everywhere out the arse, meanwhile I didn't know The Last Guardian was even out.
Also most Britfags have shit tastes anyway.

...

The Last Guardian is out already?

ANOTHER Capcom-game made out-of-house.
Literally didn't learn anything from El Donte.
As shit as Capcom is now, I can tell right now they would have made a much much better job.

That bitch 'reporter' is the wrong of today's news industry, getting involved in the story and probably getting yourself killed just because 'muh feelings', and they try to make it a good thing.

Journalism is indeed dead.

kill yourself retard

Holla Forums is dead laddeh, leave while you can

Well, in the game it's more you protecting him.

And you're still here why ?

You know the whole leather vest with a barbed wire baseball bat isnt really new but I cant help but think they are trying to piggy back on the walking dead popularity

Holy fuck I hate games that just suddenly have your character die/get seriously injured in a cutscene.

and go where?

librechan is dead
endchan fucking sucks

how is this a big suprise

...

i played the original a couple of weeks back and im afraid to go any further in the franchise.

i'd rather remember it as a one-shot masterpiece.

Why not consider giving Dead Rising 2: Off the Record a try? It's not as terrible as 3 & 4 are.

This, personally I quit playing dead rising 2 pretty early in the game but having played a bit of 3 it just turned into a soulless husk. At least dead rising 2 still had some life left in it

This basically sums it up, it always the root problem of why nip devs end up making completely retarded business plans

Shit outsold shit. Not really surprising given that one has to sell more then the other. Whether or not the games sell enough is whats important.
