>"The message behind the game is around consumerism and Black Friday, and we're asking: who is the monster? The zombies running around or is it what caused everyone to fight each other and demand these products and services? I often say this is not the thinking man's game, but there are some messages in there that might make you think a little bit more than usual."
Really makes you think
>Leads on the project have never worked on a Dead Rising game prior to this.
>Trying to nostalgia-bait by bringing back Frank West, who now looks, acts and sounds nothing like he did in the first two games, because the devs wanted a “more mature” character.
>Devs claim that DR4 is going back to its roots despite everything that's completely different about it.
>OP Combo-Weapons/Vehicles and Wacky Costumes are pushed to the forefront, even moreso than DR3.
>Cannot drop weapons quickly, you need to pull up the inventory to do so.
>Skill moves are now tied to kill-combos and can't be pulled off instantaneously
>As a result hand-to-hand combat is neutered, because the devs want to force you to use weapons.
>Survivors are no longer escortable characters/partners. You save them from zombies, they drop an OP weapon and they fuck off.
>Food no longer takes up inventory space, and instead fills up a first-aid meter.
>No mixed drinks as a result of this, something even DR3 did right.
>Despite food and books no longer requiring inventory space, the game gives you 24 item slots at max level.
>Item slots aren’t freely open, and can only be used to carry certain types of weapons
>Power Armor.
>Generic enemies in wacky costumes with combo weapons replace the psychopaths. They have no cutscenes, no unique AI and no defined character.
>Zombies are no longer aggressive at night.
>Timer has been completely removed from campaign
>"Investigation" segments
>Game lacks multiple endings.
>Multiplayer is a shitty L4D clone, no co-op campaign.
>Devs actively made the game to have no replay value, openly shit-talked previous titles
>Map is actually smaller than DR3.
>DLC season pass is a lazy weapons pack, a DLC story in the same map and a shitty minigame. $25 on top of the $60 for the game.
>The DLC story is likely an overtime mode that got cut from the retail game.
>No crossbuy between Xbox One & Windows 10, despite initially being advertised as such.
>”What our fans wanted!”
>Completely missing the basic anti-consumerist "We are the zombies" metaphor
Jesus fuck these devs.
DELETE THIS
Why every new game of decent series are SHIT ? Why devs are all worse and worse ? Why do we manage to have less and less games available and the few ones available are shit ?
MGSV and FFXV are better than their previous games though
>we're retreading the themes of the very first game
>praise us please
Fucking hacks
Fucking this
Dead rising message was perfect and already overused in zombie movies
10 years later it's litteraly retarded to thinks this message is interesting and/or will make you think.
...
...
>I like outdated turn based combat and linear scripted movie game
Faggot
Well to be honest the zombies in this game do portray Burgers better than any other demographic.
Can we genocide the leafs?
How many good series have they ruined now?
But Dead Rising 1 was also about food production and shit. This is just gay.
>acting as if linear is necessarily a negative
Back to 2009 with you.
Its a negative when you are just walking from cutscene to cutscene
Dead Rising 1 was a fun game but Frank was such a lame character. Barely had any story or lines. People actually gave a shit about him?
>mgs and ff is walking from cutscene to cutscene
Must be sad to never have played any of these games user
He's covered wars, y'know.
>I prefer a boring grind fest with a shit story that retroactively ruins the entire series
>Must be sad to never have played any of these games user
>""""""""played""""""""""
>>I prefer a boring grind fest with a shit story
Final Fantasy was always like this
Well, the entire franchise concept is a pretty shameless rip-off of Dawn of the Dead.
I wasn't talking about FF
Metal Gear Solid was like that too, except the grindfest part
That's a subjective opinion stop this meme
MGSV and FFXV nearly aren't as bad as this though.
>>that retroactively ruins the entire series
what
MGS5 has almost no fucking effect on the MGS story. It's completely harmless compared to what MGS4 does.
>three writers
Is all of this actually true?
Its objectively fact though
It's objectively fact that you suck lumberjack dicks
Not sure about the map part but everything he said is true
Another Dead Rising fag here and what he said is all unfortunately true.
Such a shame.
looks fun.
Dead Rising ranking
3 > off the record > 2 > 1.
Some weak bait, my man.
>Hello? Anyone there?
DR3 was optimzied so fucking terribly for my gtx 660 ti and even two of them in SLI, it was basically unplayable until i got a gtx 1060
but its pretty neat, car physics and the way zombies hit it could be better, but ive never seen such massive dense crowds of zombies/people like this in any game that runs so damn well
...
>make shit sequel with paltry resemblance to its predecessors
>b-but it has a message
Capcom needs to be barred from outsourcing to western devs
cause that's not what PW did at fucking all
Not only is it quite possibly the biggest trope when it comes to zombies fiction (humansaretherealzombieswowreallymakesyouthink) - It was a topic even the first fucking game covered, hence it taking place in a goddamn mall.
Some real dipshits at Capcom Vancouver.
>No Psychopaths
INEXCUSABLE
>literally DR1 but worse with Overtime Mode as DLC
thanks Capcom Vancouver
>Literally DR1
Please don't talk shit about a gaming classic, my man.
I think the true monster would probably be the one that's literally chewing my face off right now to be quite frank with ya.
>Canadian developers
Why can't my country produce anything of value?
trying so hard to steal Romero's speech
>zombie game/movie/series/etc.
>humans are the real monsters!!
This trope is so overused it's incredible
thanks for making trailer park boys, i guess
This whole DR4 fiasco made want to get the first game.
Anyone else?

Still the best in the series and graphically still holds up.
>RTS
>only one Westwood game
>2 Blizzshit games
This is a list from 2010
Calm down
>they made a boring game about hitting dumb zombies with lol-so-random weapons a boring game about hitting dumb zombies with lol-so-random weapons
still gonna buy this game and enjoy it for the comfy christmas theme. fight me
>Hoof it!
Sure, post name and adress, I'm available on friday, it will be a pleasure to beat your ass and correct your wrongs.
>complains about spyware
>probably has Steam installed
Kys Valvedrone
>he doesn't pirate games
lmao
No, that's the message of the late-70s movie the first Dead Rising pays homage to. Dead Rising 4, however, is a shallow piece-a-shit game about mech suits and, "hur, kewl ways to murk zombies without habbing to worry about time limit".
People will be bored in 1 hour.

Thank you and God bless you guys. I'd forgive you even if you somehow managed to accidentally start World War III.
>retroactively ruins the entire series
mgsv did nothing to the canon
why does a game like dead rising need 3 fucking writers?
this is an outrage!
Thanks for Rush
how else are we going to get these deep themes that really get the noodle chuggin'
So if this bullshit flops zombie shit is done for, right? I won't be seeing zombie shit for the next 10 or so yeats? Because god, I hope that's the case. Zombie shit is awful, it needs to go and stay go, Zombies overstayed their welcome for about 7 years.
Wow, that's really breaking new ground.
Makoto Ikehara totally didn't do the same thing with DR1 . . . on top of proving a message against corrupt big government and corporatism. Yep, this sure is a new high for the Dead Rising franchise and totally not something that's been done with zombies before! Especially not almost 4 decades ago in a world-famous horror movie.
>No co-op campaign
>No psychopaths
>Devs claim they took certain liberties in the gameplay because they "put so much into the story"
I really can't wait to witness how dogshit the story really is. From everything they've shown, it's going to be awful.
>“The humor is subtle; there’s some stuff that, as we’re playing the game, we find ourselves just laughing,” Nickolls said. “Just stuff like while Frank’s going around slaughtering stuff, and says, ‘Thanks, Obama.’ He’ll just drop these little lines in that feel so relevant now.”
>game takes place about a decade in the future
>"Thanks Obama"
Project M deserves to be on this macro
As one of the most important mods since cs, dota or arguably minecraft, it stands out as being the only console game mod. We should preserve our culture and show that netizens are better designers than most corporate esport shills.

Ya real ground breaking stuff.
>no co-op
WHAT FUCKING REASON?
They need to stop making Frank West cool. He is cool because he is a chubby uncle who does wrestling moves he probably saw on TV. It's the same problem that the Die Hard series had, making the everyman nobody hero a LEET SUPER COOL BADASS in the sequels. BRING BACK LAME WEST!
