...Dead Rising 3 sold roughly around 2 million copies and this game has little marketing.
Something's not right.
William Jones
>new Frank is widely acclaimed with some calling it the best performance of 2016 I call bullshit >is on track to sell 4 million copies worldwide Estimated numbers and actual numbers are too different things. >everyone agrees the time limit was garbage It was. >more Saint's Row than DR I don't understand what does this mean. It's not like DR games were that much serious before.
Brayden Moore
When the devs themselves are asking what they did wrong you know that's not true
Zachary Diaz
>WAAAAH IT'S NOT DEAD RISING WAAHHHHHHH
shut the fuck up, it is dead rising is about using stuff you find as weapons and being goofy.

do you play DR for the shitty story?
Samuel Russell
Seriously? Source?
Nathaniel Gonzalez
>more Saint's Row than DR Modern Saint's Row or classic? Because if it's modern, fuck that shit.
I liked the time limit system, survivors spawning at certain times etc
Aiden Jenkins
Should I feel sad for big beard hipster?
William Reed
not even that guy, but there's a whole mess of mechanics that have been present through the series that have been altered heavily or dropped altogether in this installment.
it's not Dead Rising, it's Saint's Row 3 but worse.
Hunter Morgan
it made me feel like you weren't meant to do everything the first time through...and that was okay, you could restart the story, and do better next time, because you'd keep your gained experience, and that it brought with it...without a timer, there's nothing stopping you from playing the game the series has been played in the past, there's no longer any effort required in time management, making those special weapon or costume piece finds really matter more to you, and it made the things you did find each time feel more special.
Noah White
don't forget the Season Pass containing the True ending as DLC, they've literally taken out Overtime Mode to sell it back to the players.
James Allen
Is there any hope for Resident Evil 7?
I literally haven't seen any marketing for DR4 and the shit I've seen looks just wrong.
Jace Hall
holy fucking shit now that just over the line
Adrian Wilson
Capcom has that time honored Japanese tradition of taking things and ramming them into the ground.
Hudson Kelly
Dead rising forums at capcom unity they are pretty much asking why you liked disliked it which is the closest you will get a decent to saying they fucked up
Anthony Scott
welp
Nathan Rivera
Is it even out? Do you have a source for a single one of these memes?
you do this every thread
Aaron Clark
how isn't it dead rising? dead rising has always been about using items you find laying around to kill zombies and with dr2 made combo weapons which is nice. I get not liking the dumb exo suit. the combat has always been basic as fuck which is fine since you use a bunch of different weapons. not having to escort survivors is fine since it was just a pain before and the removal of the timer gives me more time to just fuck around instead of me checking to see how much time until the next case. the removal of psychos is lame but not that big of a deal
Henry Thompson
>DR4 gets worse critic and user scores than TLG
Who could reasonably have foreseen this
William Lee
Frank dies in the end
James Hughes
without a timer or escorts what's left? The game looks more like Dynasty Warriors: Zombie Edition + flaming dildo launchers and selfies. You can't build a game off of this.
Justin Peterson
the points you just brought forward have only proven how much you miss the point. There's no point arguing with you, you just won't get it.
Asher Rivera
Is there even a "story" this time? Or is it just "so random xd kill zombies" all game?
Thomas Myers
Make sure you buy our dlc!
Noah Richardson
story missions? I agree with the selfies being fucking stupid.
Jaxson Wilson
>story missions What can they be? The timer was always the challenge in Dead Rising, no matter what you're doing it's always some form of competition with the timer. A timerless story mission would just be killing shit and then pressing X in front of a macguffin. That's no fun.
Christian Anderson
I just bought Off the Record. I can't wait to get back in there.
Blake Gomez
Everybody keeps bringing up dlc, what's it about anyway?
Aaron Price
the timer wasn't challenging at all
Levi Ross
What you say. The cases and time limit is arguably what keeps making the games interesting in the first place. A couple of months ago I completed dead rising 1 and 2 on overtime mode on first attempt (played them before though) . Had a blast with 1 especially, but I don't really feel like going back to just explore. Time limit makes you focused, you put certain things on priority and you have a goal to work towards.
Nathaniel Sullivan
Not after 5 playthroughs but early on trying to save everyone and do everything is painful.
Thomas Allen
I love how it ended with an homage to World War Z. That movie was truly the Resident Evil of our generation.
Robert Brooks
>not having to escort survivors is fine >the removal of psychos is lame but not that big of a deal >everything about this post Is this a bait? It better be, very subtle, I like it.
Josiah White
It's overtime mode, and the story is a copy paste of DR1's overtime mode. A concept Bluecastle hasn't wrapped their head around in 10 years.
Matthew Powell
>TJ Rotolo just got diagnosed with cancer
Really? The new guy just feels wrong and I was fine with Kief in MGSV because Hayter turned into a little bitch but Ironside's Fisher was a travesty since they literally had him go through reverse puberty.
The game takes place in 2021 and Frank actually used moves fitting his age in OTR.

I'm glad the housing market is on the verge of crashing in Canada, these people deserve to live on the streets.
Michael Diaz
It added depth and nuance, almost in a rouge-like fashion.
But casuals cried for muh streamlined everything and "I'm entitled to experiencing 100% of a game's content on my first play-through" mentality. Absolutely disgusting.
Xavier Long
Apparently it was, you entitled cuck.
Dylan White
Leave the development to me.
Gavin Brooks
The timer in DR3 was so lenient that you would have to purposely let it time out.
Zachary Foster
>using items you find laying around to kill zombies There is a difference between items in a mall and flaming dinosaur heads and exploding christmas shit for t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m crowd.

It's also optional to unlock your phone and drop a nuke.

Ryan Sanders
Canada ruin dead rising, Inafune was basically cut out after #1
Jason Jackson
>the removal of psychos is lame but not that big of a deal No it's a huge ass deal because it was the only thing that gave the game more depth then GTA Zombie edition.
Gabriel Sullivan
I have never in my life wish such ill and pain on a person I have never know personally in my life
Josiah Gomez
dr never had depth
Luis Martin
How is it in comparison to 4? I haven't played it yet and I loved 1, 2's prequel, 2, Case West and OTR .
Did Case Western even matter for the overall story or did they ignore it entirely?
Jackson Lewis
>TJ Rotolo just got diagnosed with cancer source
William Cook
I strongly disagree the first one had a ton. Second was losing some of it to expand for larger area. Third just sprayed shit everywhere.
Aiden Foster
>story missions Yeah I have a bone to pick with the "Case File" structure. It's like they've decided they needed to keep the structure in place, but forgot what everything about it meant. Every case when it was opened and concluded in DR1 revealed a new part of the story. This is a factor in the game itself because if you stop before getting Isabela to defect, you don't have critical knowledge to share with a survivor and they refuse to be rescued because they think they're already dead. Each case also colors in a different part of the story. Some obviously with greater weight than others, but everything added in and stopping in the middle of any case pieces together a different version of events.
In DR4 Frank already has everything worked out in Case 2, it's just a matter of having things play out and a final shock in 6. They did actually that exact same thing in 2; Chuck knows TK framed him at the end of Case 2, and while on Day 4 more is revealed the difference is that Chuck doesn't care for any amount of "Truth" after that. Granted without the timer in 4 we don't get a "The Truth has Vanished". But the games don't lead or provoke questions of authenticity. They just turn around and say "Well _____ lied".

Jessie's VA showed up briefly in DR4
Elijah Myers
The only reasonable change this game has is the timer thing. It should've been created with the timer in mind and removed for the people that are either new or have hated it since the old games.
But lack of psychopaths and lack of multiple endings is pretty ridiculous when you're taking a known franchise and claiming to take it back to its roots.
Jason Wood
It's true!
Cooper Brooks
Is that supposed to be Zero?
Eli Bennett
Does DR 4 even have civilians to save?
Brody Watson
yes you wanna know how it's unlock? you just beat the game. no challenges, no collecting parts, just beat it and their ya go.
Alexander Perez
>is on track to sell 4 million copies worldwide No chance, it probably won't even sell 1 million any time soon.
John Richardson
I must of missed that according to the credit roll it's all new people. kek
Landon Powell
whose saying all that? The fat with the gay beard and 4 eyes?
Caleb Sanchez
Jesus Christ that is pathetic when you actually had to work to get mega buster and shit like that.
Connor Reed
Ugh. There better be a cheat or DLC to get it from the start.
Adam Bennett
Why couldn't we save her?
If any franchise deserved a crossover it was Dead Rising and Resident Evil other than the sandwich shop. Why did RE6 get L4D cast in mercs yet the most logical franchise didn't?
Ryan Roberts
Technically yes, but they just drop a bunch of shit ala DR1 Infinity Mode cardboard box when you kill the zombies around them essentially, and then they promptly fuck off... somewhere.
Carter Taylor
inafune If his name is tied to anything Capcom has taken issue promoting it Or at least they did till inafune shat the bed doing his independent and now the belief is Capcom was the helping hand in it all. Now they are lining up to use the IPs they made because inafune name is basically garbage anymore.
Eli Butler
Are there no pirated versions out yet? Not paying 60 bucks. Sucks it's on Windows store that never have sales.
Austin Garcia
The best ones are always the ones we can't save.
Josiah Ortiz
Not really.
By DR2 zombies were considered the kind of thread that made them props on a gameshow.
Resident Evil is supposed to be taking the notion of contamination seriously.
Angel Garcia
He explained on his facebook that he got fucked over because he's a member of SAG-AFTRA as a Stuntman and a VA and even though Capcom approached him, he couldn't take the role because they hadn't decided what companies would be targeted by the strike action and he would have rather not broken the strike even though Capcom did agree to the SAG terms and were not targeted in the end (And apparently Capcom's one of the best in the industry to work with because they don't hide the project, even if their games leak earlier, and will even bring in builds of the game for the actors to take a look at and play during sessions so they can get a feel for what they need to do).
He's not bitter about it because he rather had stood his ground for SAG than compromise it but he was sad because he did love the role and really would have loved to have done an older Frank.
His facebook page. Didn't say what type of cancer yet though.
Nathan Ramirez
It's ok they killed him off anyway, along with the franchise
Lucas Myers
Only if you don't buy the true ending dlc :^)
David Hall
I just want to play as Dead Rising characters in mercs with their own official move sets or at least get to see Jesse fight.
Logan Thomas
Dead Rising was specifically made to be an outlet for the stuff Resident Evil was moving away from. The first goddamn trailer included "No Umbrella" as a tagline to set them apart.
Also there's been like... Two real "crossovers" Capcom's conducted with separate series they own. So it's not like Capcom is snubbing synergy for one, they just don't do that... and if you mean further ingame homages that excessively favor Resident Evil? I just don't care enough about cameos to worry about why Arthur was given homage in DR2 over literally every single character Capcom owns the rights to.
Jason Perry
OVERTIME
Anthony Cox
>His facebook page went to fb/terence.rotolo I see nothing about cancer, wrong find?
Hudson Cooper
Did the developers actually say they're taking the series back to its roots? From what I've played it seems more like someone tried to describe Dead Rising to them and they made a game based on that description.
Christopher Sanders
they better have tj come back in a dlc expansion telling the true events of dr and not Vicks retelling
First at 2:30, then at 9:00, probably more, but those two alone should be enough proof.
Jason Hall
>time limit is bad you know, if you suck at video games, maybe you should find another hobby
Brayden Richardson
Someone told me the other day, you can never truly recapture things you loved in the past, and I'm coming to terms with that.
I love the original game, but it was a product of it's time. I haven't played passed 2 and I don't intend to. I'm happy if people like this, but it's not my bag.
Nolan Wood
Honestly play 2 Off The Record. Was a pretty incredible game. 90% of DR1.

Angel Garcia
the time limit didn't make things hard at all you idiot
Thomas Perry
Thats why they removed, Because it was inconvenient for normies. The big beard guy literally said in interview that it was problematic for players having to choose what side mission to do, they were incapable of doing everything.
Gavin Gutierrez
You have to learn to not presuppose quality from brand or even sometimes the names of talent in media. Not just corporate developments, anyone who's otherwise brilliant can fail even when they don't crumble to exterior pressure.
I enjoyed the selections of Sherlock Holmes I read in school and picked up the complete works that were by Doyle. I enjoyed most of them. Loved a few of them. However I do not use exaggeration when I say that one was also the worst published crime fiction I've ever been exposed to. Derivative of other Holmes stories and with a nonsensical beginning, middle, and end.
Joseph Rivera
This is so frustating. If they said they're taking the franchise in a new direction at least the fans new what to expect. Saying it's going back to its roots and then going against everything in the franchise is nothing sort of a slap in the face.
Nicholas Thomas
People are afraid of new things. They're trying to convince their outlets that they are both the changes that were requested, and yet still not changing anything even if they had a redesign that could go into Bomberman Act Zero.
