Franks VA is replaced

We talked about it in the previous DR thread about how the VAs in gaming these days (At least for male protagonists) mostly consisted of Nolan North and Troy Baker. If its one of those two, then yeah its salt in the wound (Not that TJ not reprising is already a bad sign)

So Dead Rising is yet another one of those 'Generic zombie games', lovely

I'm going to assume by that its like Left 4 Dead where certain infected have different roles like getting you from a distance

I need to know where you found this.

I don't see how any of them were offensive unless its Marxists getting nasty about females like Bibi or whoever that fat burger bitch that rode a scooter was in 3

Whats next? Are we not allowed to have a dildo weapon out?

How short memories we all have.

From the gameplay demos I've seen the music seems to be generic drama music with some lite christmas themed instrumentation put in. Of course I haven't seen any footage of inside the mall yet, one would assume that once you're inside the mall the mall music plays.

I don't think it is, but it might be the guy playing him in that Crackle original movie.

Sort of, there's fresh infected that are super fast, that's all they've confirmed. I don't like it because the zombies were always meant to be a nuisance, making human enemies all the more threatening.

You joke but in all seriousness, marxists and feminists really do want videogames to be so bland and cater to their every whim that that's a stark possibility. No sex, nobody but black and female protagonists, and no minorities as the bad guys.

Also don't make jokes at the expense of others, because that's racist/sexist/trans/homophobic.

Boy you best be playin'.

All the tracks in DR1 were great. They fit each encounter perfectly

When you think about it, Dead Rising is nothing more than a happy accident that Capcom will never perfect no matter how many times they make the sequels.

I already see that backfiring. Zombies are already annoying enough in groups sapping health to the point where you might have to do a QTE to break free from them (And the zombies that got special gas were even more bullshit)

Feels bad knowing we'll never get DR1s atmosphere and gameplay again. I'm probably in the minority here but I fucking hate combo weapons and think they were a mistake. They put too much focus on the 'whacky' nature of dead rising which always works best if its in the background.

I mean yeah, you could always put on dresses and used kids toys as weapons but that felt like using all at your disposal in DR1, in 2 and onwards it felt like the designers were jabbing you in the ribs with their elbows

2 wasn't quite as good as 1 but it gave me high hopes, because the team that made it seemed like they had a pretty solid understanding of what made 1 special. It floundered a bit here and there, but was a solid effort that, in many ways, managed to capture the spirit of Dead Rising.

Then 3 rolled around, with a new director at the helm and Microsoft footing the bill for development, and everything went to shit.

This and this

Those changes. I remember a similar fate happen.

This sound and look like Overstrike all over again.

Fuck you focus groups. Fuck you focus groups.

Why is there no PC port of Dead Rising 1 yet?

That boat sailed a long time ago nigga.

...

Kill me, I loved dead rising 1. I remember playing hours during my summer break try to get the 54,000 achievement or whatever. And trying to get the record for days survived. Dead rising 2 improved the gameplay but everything else was worse. Never played 3 because it looks like crap and now this? Just kill me

Why haven't I killed myself yet?

I thought we were past this.

I really like the pacing. The game was really good at letting you set your own priorities. They also gave you major downtime after completing certain story missions where you'd either have to sit around twiddling your thumbs, or you can scour the mall and explore, rescue survivors, kill zombies, or just do whatever you want.

Fucker, you never had time to do what you wanted because you're running five missions at once.

So turning Resident Evil into a Le look at my le ebin reaction face in the the thumbnail and click my video: The game, was what the fans wanted ?

It is pretty depressing user l, makes me miss my mom

???

Get good at time management or just accept the failure and keep playing. You were allowed to continue even after failing missions.

Shame to hear this. DR1 was a lightning in the bottle type of game for me. Its very unique or at least was. I poured a lot of time into that game and I love it very much. At least we will always have it.

ISHYGDDT

I didn't really like the Time Limit

Literally the only reason the games were good.

There is that liberal hippie pro zombie activist retard in Dead Rising 2.
Then there is that rapist fatso with chainsaws in the same game

I've beaten ever DR game I've played (DR1, and every game made on the DR2 engine). Not 100% (except Case Zero and Case West, but those don't have many survivors), but enough to find the majority of the Survivors. But in DR2 it's ridiculous; you literally have no time to mess around, and even then there's survivors you'll miss since some show up without you being notified and you have to be there at the right time, which happened in the first game but was nowhere as bad due to the Mall not being as big as Fortune City.

I know, but what's the point unless you want to get the bad ending or grind for that Zombie Genocider Achievement?

It annoys me how there's no free mode in any DR asides from Off the Record, the one that I couldn't be bothered to play again after I beat it due to being a glorified expansion pack of DR2. Couldn't they have at least went back and added free mode to Case Zero and Case West? Would have been fun to muck around in those smaller games.

...

git gud nerd
Dead Rising 2 is actually the easiest game in the series. Even Off the Record is more challenging than it due to the little tweaks.

The combat in the games is shit and there is nothing to do in the world.
What exactly do you want to do without the time limit?
Its not like you can't just drop the missions from the first day and fuck about for the rest of the game.

They pretty much killed the series for good with that fucking abomination of a game Dead Rising 3, but I'm sure they're gonna find a way to shit out an even worse monstrosity this time around.

One is easier, I didn't even need to look up how to find any of the survivors that you aren't told about by Otis.

Wrong.

I don't want no time limit, just something that has at least some leniency. I've played through the game fully twice, and both times it's just running from mission to mission trying to have five retarded AIs follow you so you don't have to walk them through the park when the convicts come out.

WEEEEEEEEELLLL

HE AIN'T MY BOY, BUT THE BROTHER IS HEAVY

Flexibility. Either knock some stuff on the head and save it for another playthrough or accept that you will be given very little downtime. It offers a small degree of choice and consequence.

The time limit is constant pressure on the player to progress in the game, making the game focus more on time-management and less on mindlessly slaughtering zombies (even though it still is a pretty mindless brawler). Not just that but for veteran players it provides a challenge of trying to get all the timed events that happen in the game.

Does Dead Rising 1 hold up? Haven't played it in almost a decade.

Well, I don't find 4 so bad… except for the exosuit and their way to deliver the game..

Also, if I didn't heard it wrong, it will have 4 player coop. Any idea which characters would be in the coop?

So… I've heard you can't disenbowel zombies constantly anymore in 3, you need to fill up a killing account first. Is that true? and who had that retarded idea?

Are you genuinely retarded?
Dead Rising 2 points out 60% of the survivors for you and the rest aren't exactly hidden.
That coupled with the fact that the survivors are practically invincible to zombies makes escorting them a joke.

It has no weapon crafting, a dumber survivor AI and lacks the general quality of life improvements from the sequel but overall its still a solid game if you have the patience for it.

I honestly consider that a good thing.

At the very least 2 made it slightly more of a rarity, since you'd have to lug the components (which took up valuable inventory space) to a workbench to make them, as compared to just using the separate components as they were.

Then 3 removed the workbench requirement and just started dumping combos on you at every turn, with all the components right there for you.

fuck this
I truly would have preferred if they just remade DR1 but put a bonus mode in after you beat Overtime that let you explore outside the Mall.

It's not set in Willimette. It's set in some unknown mall around Christmas time. The special infected are called evo and it seems they may come from some lab. Still shit, just saying.

You also forgot

Psychopaths and survivors still spawn, stupid, there's still plenty to do.

All you get is a different ending. It's hardly a game over, you still get all your unlocks and shit as a result of finishing the game.

Fuck the game even offers you multiple save files, keep one for dicking around and another for doing the story.

I'd say so, if you're willing to accept the intentional clunkiness surrounding the shooting and survivor escorting.

Frank, Nick, Chuck, are pretty much guaranteed. Must be some other guy for the fourth character.

What you said is false. The game most certainly does take place in Willamette.

Nope, that was an earlier false leaked rumor that it was a remake of the original. That was debunked during E3 and right now no one is siting Willimette as the location.

I literally fucking checked before commenting.

Dafuq with my grammar… Let me try that again. Before E3 a leak came out that the game was a remake of the original Dead Rising game set in Willimette. During E3 that rumor was put to bed as the new town is set in a more mountainous area where Frank West is at a mall during the Christmas season when a zombie outbreak begins.

No one is claiming Willimette is the new location and the confusion arises out of fake leaks that occurred before E3.

I've been checking before commenting.

Scratch that, it is set in Willimette. After checking over 5 sites I finally found one that said it is. My bad, also how did the town which in the first game was on relatively flat soil now become surrounded by mountains?

Link: news.xbox.com/2016/06/13/frank-west-returns-dead-rising-4-coming-holiday-xbox-one-windows-10-pc/

Well thanks for fixing that shit yourself.

I guess it was affected by the same retcon magic that made Frank twenty years younger and changed his voice.

Is that the same magic that made him a douche in the movie? Instead of the awesome, confident, and has his shit together hero from the games. Fuck that movie btw. Lore in it was absolutely bastardized for muh strong womyn shit. Everyone knows the zombification is caused by Parasitic hornets not a virus.

Bitch bites someone and claims they're infected. If that was possible no way in fuck would any one be allowed to remain at large zombrex or no zombrex.

I haven't seen the movie, since all of the Dead Rising films are pretty crap. I know it has the Allstate guy and that's about it.

I guess you can't really expect much from a Crackle original movie, but you think they'd at least kind of stay true to the lore.

I noticed that in the trailer the zombies were running too, which is fucking retarded.

Best psychopath theme coming through. Also was a really fun fight in co-op completely unprepared without even weapons. We ended up beating the shit out of him with plates and furniture, out-damaging his healing in a war of kitchen attrition like a post-apocalypse Iron Chef tournament.
"I will never die" was an exaggeration, but not by much. Fucker took forever to drag down.

Yeah you had to lug the parts around BUT if you were smart you would just go to the workbench in the area by the safe room not the one right there as you walk out but the one closer to the big open area with the second floor. In there was a drill you could combine with the spear that is in a shop like five feet away and that gives you the best combo weapon in the game. Until off the record that drill spear was the most OP shit because you could just stun lock bosses with it.

True, but compared to 3 that actually took some time to get together, since the first combo they left you with was axe/hammer.

In 3 you'd find a blueprint, and 2 feet would be 2 piles of the exact components you'd need, and 2 more feet would be a magic cloning locker.

I expected a campy, poorly acted, Dead Rising movie. Instead I got a shit tier zombie movie with Dead Rising name slapped on it.

The villains plan was to replace zombrex shots with ones that didn't work. Turn people into zombies, put fear into people so they can chip people so they can listen and track infected. All while hoping that no one ever discovers any part of this plan or asks the most basic of questions.

The entire movies premise is that they think the virus has gone airborn. There is no virus and Frank West exposed the truth to the entire world and the Military admitted to everything. People know the source of the zombification, so the fact they're able to get away with this "the virus mutated and is now Airborn" bs is astounding, especially with Frank West on camera after having infiltrated a Zombrex facility and uncovered the companies involvement in the zombie outbreaks and knows that there was a cure developed at some point.

Then Microshit started publishing and the story went to hell and continues to do so with Dead Rising 4. That aside continuing with their plot, they then expect someone to uncover that the Zombrex was tampered with and that the virus is not airborn (when everyone knows there is no virus) even though they're going to firebomb the city removing all evidence of their plan and no expectation anyone would uncover it ever.

Yet somehow their plan works despite all odds and it sets up Dead Rising 3's events where the General just shuts off the chips turning people into Zombies and the old cure is just forgotten.

As for Frank looking younger, he is actually infected with the Hornets, so perhaps the cure he got from the company halted the aging process or something. Like he's half zombie or something.

I know that they're just putting Frank West in because to draw fans back in after the disastrous performance of 3 and lore be damned.

I could overlook a lot of shit, but 4 player coop and no timelimit is the straw that broke the camels back. Mark my words, they will not advertise this game to Dead Rising fans, they'll advertise it to the dude bro multiplayer audience.

I just wish they'd bring back multi-booking, so you could have effectively infinite-durability mini-chainsaws again like in DR1.

God DR3 was such a shit show. The whole game was a fucking cake walk even without the combo weapons being easy as fuck to get because there are like five goddamn survivors at any one time you don't need to escort them and there are only seven total psychopaths. Seriously only seven? The first fucking game had like twenty not to mention there are fucking machine guns everywhere and they will just mow all the zombies in an area down before you even run out of ammo.

You don't even need books in DR2 or DR3 because of how easy it is to get good weapons. In DR1 you had to save those chainsaws because they were the only ones you were gonna get.

Making components for the god-tier combo weapons super rare, or only dropping from respawning miniboss psychopaths, would be a pretty reasonable compromise, I think. I like the combo weapons, and I like how stupidly powerful a lot of them are, but I also don't like when I'm having fun with a weapon and it just breaks after a minute and I have to run back and build it all over again.

Having to carefully gather the right materials and sacrifice inventory space with a bunch of magazines is a pretty good trade-off for creating a weapon of mass destruction that lasts until you get bored of it.

And then it'll be the same shit leading up to release like MGSV, with people who have never played a game in the series saying "Get Hype!" Same as it was with Fallout 3 all those years ago.

That sounds incredibly fucking retarded. After Case West I was looking forward to a Dead Rising 3 where Chuck and Frank go all buddy cop and try to bring down the Phenotrans machine.

So wait, Frank isn't infected anymore? That's fucking retarded.

But it's not really Frank, that's what frustrates me so much about this. He looks completely different, and sounds completely different, it might as well not even be Frank. I guess they're trying to tie it into the movie or something by making him look and sound more like his movie counterpart, but that's just as stupid.

Incorrect, the chainsaws respawned.

Did you not see the post where I say you can get the best combo weapon in DR2 by walking like five feet to the second work bench in the area right outside the safe room?

Yeah but you need to go back to get them and you only get two at a time. If you are trying to do everything you don't have time to be running back to the roller coaster to get more chainsaws all the time.

Fair enough.

Yeah, I saw that. That only matters if you never go more than five feet from that area. I'm talking about a weapon you can carry with you all over the map without having to worry about going back to a work bench at all.

It doesn't matter if it's super convenient to go back and make another - it's best if you never have to go back to the work bench at all. That's what makes the mini chainsaws so much more fun in DR1 than the combo weapons in 2 - if you want your good weapons to last, you have to prepare by multi-booking and sacrificing healing item slots. If it takes effort to acquire/set up, then the weapon is more satisfying and feels more justified in being OP as fuck.

Fucking finally.

lol

Enjoy your boring game.

i know that having a limited time AND unlimited time mode is the best way of doing shit but only having a limited time mode was bullshit. you know that and i know that.

No, boring is having to replay the game over because you didn't follow the exact path the game wanted you to take.

You are never, at any point in any of the games aside from Case West, forced to do the story if you don't want to. And if I was forced to choose between only having a time limit and not having one, I'd choose the time limit, since it's one of the most important aspects of Dead Rising.

If you want a perfect run to always be within your grasp no matter how long you take or how much you fumble around, doesn't that make you a casual piece of shit?
A full-clear should require mastery, and mastery requires practice and repetition.

You honestly sound like the kind of faggot who uses strategy guides.

Christ could you be any more casual?

I didn't say they were doing it right. They think they can just slap the name Frank West on any character they want and the mindless masses will eat it up.

I'd say I'm only kidding and there is probably some precise marketing research that supports this bad decision, but I can't. Microsoft is so inundated with circle jerking echo chamber leftists they legitimately think they're making great ideas as their software bombs, as their games division bombs, as their entire company continues to bleed money.

It's so absolutely beautiful to watch the company who once had some of the most brilliant marketing minds with a damn near limitless budget buy out the market, devolve into absolute barely functional garbage.

Hopefully we'll see the death of Silicon Valley within the decade, none of them seem to be doing particularly well.

I don't care about getting a perfect ending or whatever i just want to fuck around the mall without the game immediately ending.

IIRC Dead Rising's opening cinematic had Frank flying over mountains to reach Willamette.

You get to play around in the mall for as long as you would if you do missions or not stop being a fag and complaining about non-problems.

But the town proper was on relatively flat land. Unless they've move the town into the Mountains as part of some reconstruction effort it just doesn't make to much sense.

The only good DR was the first one. The atmosphere was great, gameplay was good, story was pretty good, and it had a lot of charm.

The problem with later sequels is that, while they are technical improvements to the first, they lack the charm that the first had. I also really hate how all the later sequels lost pretty much all horror elements that the first had.

Fuck that noise.

Ok now you are just complaining about the game in general. Why are you even here?

Dead Rising 3 is not bad.

First game was barely even horror most of the time.

Also, there's no legitimate way to defend the survivor AI in DR1.

Because this is a thread about a potentially good game.

So why are you bitching about you being to retarded to just not do missions in DR2 instead of talking about this "potentially good game"?

Never said i didn't do them, they're just not good.

Or you're just a fucking retard. As seems to be the case.

I think we're done here.

Go ahead, slink off with your tail between your legs. You know I'm right, you're a pussy casual who can't handle any actual challenge in his videogames.

NO.

...

Go play European Extreme 1-4 and say that to my face faggot.

I bet you couldn't deal with the control scheme and quit because trying to stealth was too stressful for you, pussy.

...

Have you ever even played metal gear?

Thanks for confirming you've never played them, retard.

The first three games and that ninja gaiden ripoff starring the faggot yes.

nigger what

So you haven't actually played metal gear before good to know.

So you're talking about the PS3 movie, or the unfinished game made by (((konami))).

...

Please show me an example of parkouring through a section of one of the first three MGS games because you are full of fucking shit.

Oh, you're talking about the ones they made for some obscure as fuck PC nobody outside of rich japs owned.

Where is your example of your claims faggot? I don't see snake parkouring over the guards in front of the shadow moses base in that post.

Hey, it's not my fault you're bad at the game m8.

It's not my fault you're a fucking liar.

Hey, if (((you))) want to think that, that's your prerogative, but i'm not going to spoonfeed anyone.

That's three strikes nigger you're out.

what the fuck is happening in this thread

Some daily afternoon shitposting for me.

...

Exosuits sound cool. That's the only thing.

So you just don't know shit about the series and you're trying to backpedal. It's not being a hipster to actually play the games in a series you enjoy, you faggot. Now get out.

Well no, not the entire time, but i stopped caring around the time you starting whining about how shitty you were at mgs.

I think exosuits sound retarded, I'm sick of every single game coming out having softball sci-fi shit.

Reported.

reported

...

This logic is retarded, the exo suit is just a random "goofy" item you pick up. It's not canon. I bet you faggots think that when you smash a pot in Zelda that automatically is stickied to the timeline. Fucking retards.

...

that's only bannable on halfchan. You have to go back.

>>>/cuckchan/

Heres what Willamette looked like in the intro

I thought it was pic 4 being the most OP?

i lived in a town that was about half the population of Willamette. How the fuck is it that small?

Japanese people designed it.

This bothers me deeply.
The one thing I remember about dead rising was always franks voice.
I'm ok with this
I hope there are are some really strong zombies introduced for this addition be effective introduction.
I'd prefer they had two modes. One with time and one without. My preference was always without but a lot of people loved that time limit.

What?

A good reason to test the exosuits

So Dynasty warriors but with zombies?

How old is frank supposed to be in DR4?
I can understand he cut his hair but he looks younger than before.
He looked a little something like the pic related.

nope

He's pushing his mid 50's at this point in the timeline, I don't mind the idea that he got /fit/ after Dead Rising 2 but it just seems like a completely different character now for some reason.

It has to be a different character, because Frank looked way older than Chuck did in DR2, which I thought was a side effect of needing so much Zombrex.

Then again everyone looked old in DR2 except for Rebecca and that red haired chick.

So when will Capcom go bankrupt? Hopefully soon.

DR1 > DR:OTR > DR2 > DR3

Why did dr3 suck according to Holla Forums?

besides the overpowered Combo Weapons being really easy to make and being able to kill a zombie with a single punch The main character was a whiny fuck head, the story was basically "fuck the ebil government ehehehe", all the colour was gone because fuck it, Katey from Dead Rising 2 got turned into a stronk womyn who don't need no man and there were barriers all over the map for no reason other then to piss you off.

The only good stuff in it is the bigger world, the ability to sprint, and every weapon having a strong attack.

I thought combos were good, they compensated for the 60000000000000000 zombies that were on screen at a time

There's a difference between having a time-limit and a "You can't goof off for more than a few minutes; NO FUN ALLOWED!"

So you found those guys in the back room of the sports place on your frst playthrough?

You say that as if I haven't already maxed my stats.

No there isn't
The time limit is there exactly for that reason. If you want to goof off you can very easily ignore all time limits.

No because I got the best ending on my first playthrough.

and for reference, heres some gamefaq shitters who are better at the game than you
gamefaqs.com/boards/957985-dead-rising-2/56817683

I actually think the clunkiness of the original 2 games works in their favor, like Resident Evil 4, the 2 first Dead Rising games were matches against the clock, and every decision counted to that goal, It gave it this Arcade feel that was pretty addicting and unique, and by adding less restrictive controls, you are just turning this into a zombie killing sandbox, which SOUNDS fun, but actually gets pretty boring, pretty fast, plus I bet they're going to adding music by obscure bands and just create their own generic soundtrack, which I think is worse than not having Frank at all.

It made regular weapons worthless, and you needed blueprints to make combo weapons. I really dislilked how they handled things in 3 compared with 2

Dead Rising is a crapware

nice post

He was kind enough to bump it from page 15

All the casuals who want to buy this are already here, it seems.

Anyone have a gore folder to post?

HEY! THIS IS NO TIME TO OOGLE PRETTY GIRLS, SON.

YOU LOOKING TO GET YOURSELF EATEN ALIVE BY ZOMBIES?

So you claim it was oh so easy to find them all but then admit you didn't find every survivor after all.

I see fags like you always claiming that if you mess around just a little you get locked out of the plot which is just blatantly false. The main case files give you plenty of time to do as you please, whether you want to rescue other survivors, fight bosses or just mess around. You can have plenty of fun messing about if you just care about getting through the story.

The difficulty comes if you want to complete EVERY optional task on top of the main case files. Of course if that's your objective, then you aren't going to have time to mess around.

By the time you rescue all the survivors available after a case the next Case File is already ready to start.

Well yeah, why go to effort of only save half of the survivors?

Scandalous. Laser cannons made out of motor cycle engine and microwave parts is acceptable, but exosuits is just too far.
