2 and Off the Record are also good

2 improves on almost everything from the first gameplay wise
but it lacks the charm, characters, psychopaths, stores, all feel like afterthoughts or rehashes for the most part
also the combo weapons mean less emphasis on finding random shit to use as a weapon, and those things are just reused from the first
there's some stuff like the big purple dildo from the sex shop, but not enough because it's not the point of the game anymore
still a very worthy sequel though

what about 4

you know damn well what 4 is

They renamed psychos and overall made it easier.

2 and OTR are much better than the first one, which is a bit of a nostalgia meme. Ridiculously clunky trying to play it after those.

>2 and OTR are much better than the first one

no

They didn't just rename psychos. They watered them down into normal enemies with combo weapons.

youtu.be/UUxJpDtg0Bs

Heard about that but haven't actually played it...for good reason.

2 and OTR are pretty ok too, but not even close to being as great as the first one

Everything else in the series is complete shit

These kinds of series are the things I hate the most in gaming, the type of series that start off with a fantastic one hit wonder and then never get even close again in any of the sequels

The amount of detail and polish put into the first one is amazing, and aside from some clunky controls, has aged very well and still looks great.

Two, although it has better controls, feels like a shitty Canadian repackaging. It's like the devs didnt get what made the first one so good and original.

Your nostalgia doesn't mean shit to me. The second one plays better.
You can run around it with esoteric things you can't qualify all you like, but give someone who's never played the series 1 and 2 and ask them which one they liked more and they'd say 2.

>shitty Canadian repackaging. It's like the devs didnt get what made the first one so good and original
Same problem in 4, but a million times worse.
"Going back to the roots of the series" my ass.
>replace Frank's VA, not even asking the original VA if he wanted to come back to voice Frank (he did and confirmed he was never contacted)
>rename psychos and downgrade them severely into essentially normal enemies with a combo weapon
>still having combo weapons
>that fucking mecha suit
>no time limits on anything
>can't fail missions
>survivors don't need saving, and in fact don't even give you anything good for saving them (all you do is kill a few zombies around them, they drop you a combo weapon and then unload from the game)
>story is the worst by far
>practically no wacky or fun things to pick up and use as weapons, only specific items and usually only as combo weapons
>3 separate inventories so inventory management is a complete non-issue

and I could go on and on.

Haven't played 4, but by the looks of the video,
it looks watered down and casualized.

>Can't pick up chairs, or anything else for that matter.

I remember just holeing myself up in Jill's Sandwhiches by dropping a ton of stuff outside the doorway ie. benches, in infinity mode.

Why take out one of the more unique and identifiable traits of DR?

Absolute shit

It's like this
Dead Rising 2 easily has the smoothest Dead Rising gameplay and it's super fun to play. (but it's story is shit)
Dead Rising 1 has the best atmosphere, story, nearly almost everything else. Even the gameplay is fun but you're not wrong when you say it's clunky and I still can't really get the Survivor AI to work with me. But It's still great and has a lot of small details that make playing it in general so fucking satisfying. The story has to be my all-time favorite part about it, it was so fucking well done with how much it kept up the tension at the end.

Everything after 2 is pure fucking garbage after canadians took over.
Fuck Capcom

Because time limits and saving survivors and having to actually survive in a zombie survival game were all too hard for casuals.
The typical case of "appealing to a wider demographic" causing the game to be too watered down, casualized, easy as shit, overall complete shit.

>I remember just holeing myself up in Jill's Sandwhiches by dropping a ton of stuff outside the doorway

I want to go back brehs
I want video games to be fun again

While 3 was the weakest of the series, it was still fun
But 4 is horribly bad. Dull and boring. I'm glad TJ didnt came back to voice Frank cause whatever that is ISNT Frank West

It his memeing spouting heathen evil clone brother, Hank East

What is it that those cultist scream? I always here em say ninja town.

NINJA TOWN!

Casualization is shit, they removed damn near everything that made dead rising dead rising

it is, 2 is okay on the merit that is offers multiplayer and was the first to introduce Multiplayer and more general shenanigans.
But 1 is the best in atmosphere, delivery , it really was a complete game and the sequels where way less impactful on the player.

How come no one ever talks about 3?

2 is retarded. Every single time you leave the saferoom you can get
>2 nailbats
>a defiler
Then depending on luck,, you can find bowie knives, which you can combine with boxing gloves to get knife gloves which shit on everything in the game.

I know it's a cliche to say it by this point but the fact that series regress instead of progress after TEN FUCKING YEARS is so disgusting

because it is utterly forgettable. it's not bad enough to be shat on like 4, but not good enough to recommend or discuss

1: Best story, characters, and psychopaths
2: Good game with alright psychos, introduced vehicles
OTR: Return of the best character and had the best sandbox mode
3: Best controls, introduced more and better vehicles, wrapped up the overall story, but missed a lot of what made the original great

I don't hate 3 like a lot of people, it's a fun game in its own right, but they really dropped the ball on the psychos, survivors, and time limit. It seems like a lot of people have voiced their opinions on those changes though so hopefully if they make a Dead Rising 4 they'll fix it all. I'd also like to know what happened to Frank after Case West. Obviously he's too old to be doing journo and zombie killing now but I hope he's doing something good with his life.

>2
>introduced vehicles
There were cars and motorcyles in 1 you fucking dolt.

>but give someone who's never played the series 1 and 2 and ask them which one they liked more and they'd say 2.
There is nothing worse than a faggot who assumes that liking an older game is automatically attributable to nostalgia. I didn't play any of these games until this year and DR1 is by far my favorite. The hammy story, colorful mall environment, music, pacing and overall design are more fun to me. I guess you just have shit taste.

Because while 3 is bad 4 was even worse

1 had the small chainsaw, granted it did require you to beat a boss and do a slight detour 1 or 2 times to re-acquire them but they still broke the game completely

>Everything after 2 is pure fucking garbage after canadians took over.
The Canadians took over for everything after the first game.

Yeah, and? It required beating probably the hardest psychopath in the game at a lowish level. It also required you to actually know about the 3 books that boost it.

You get handed shit in Dead Rising 2 like fucking candy. The -second- you get access to combo weapons.

(1/2)

No they didn't
It was a combined studio with a handful of japanese Capcom staff and Capcom supervisors.
Even fucking Known Scammer inafune was involved and made a small japanese movie for it.

Fuck you're right, I always forget about them. The vehicles in 1 were really forgettable imo

>Dr. Barnaby's "real" research, which takes him from being an amoral scientist to a fucking Captain Planet villain.

(2/2)

>The vehicles in 1 were really forgettable imo

What are you talking about, how can you forget them after the 65k zombie drive through the maintenance tunnels

Dead Rising 4 is one of those games that makes me go back to a previous entry that wasn't all that spectacular (3, in this case) and made it look like a fucking masterpiece in comparison.

Hell, even the Wii version was better then what they did to 4. I have never wanted a studio to be taken off a project and dissolved as much as Capcom Vancouver after the shit they pulled.

>so hopefully if they make a Dead Rising 4 they'll fix it all.

user...

Because the driving was really shit, that's basically it. I remember the Carlito fight down there and vaguely collecting the bombs but that's it.

Am I the only one who has enjoyed all 4 games?

Sure 3 and 4 are different than 1 and 2 (and worse) but I've still enjoyed them a lot.

>Remembering the good old days when Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead would throw Easter Eggs back and forth

Those were the good ol' days...

4 sounds like they took everything about the Wii version and amplified it. I fucking hated the Wii version. The way they did the combo moves had me thinking Frank West's canon background was in wrestling for some reason.

I too do not like being tied to a little girl.
Frank's his own man, he doesn't have time for this shit.

Mustachioed Frank makes up for it in OTR

What? Did they decide to drop the series?

I refuse to play the ones developed in Canada, Capcom thinks we're stupid and can't tell the difference

youtube.com/watch?v=p8WyOT4qYJQ

Remember, Easter Eggs and references today is Reddit.
So fuck off, to be cool like us you can't like these things.

I can't think of 1 Japanese franchise outsourced to the West that turned out ok, it misses the point

Metroid

That's an oddly detailed video for a fan made fake trailer. I guess they haven't played the games though, cause obviously that would never happen. I mean forget the sentient zombies, Frank wasn't a one line machine like that. It was an entertaining video though.

not to say 4 is good but it did progress in many ways, this video just sides with 1 and shows what 1 has that 4 doesn't while not showing what 4 has the 1 doesn't, its a one sided video
4 is still shit though

Boy, that video. That fucking video.
It perfectly represents modern Capcom. Whoever still got faith for MvCI or MonHun World needs to wake up.

>not to say 4 is good but it did progress in many ways

Explain nigga. Name one thing that 4 did that wasn't done better in a previous title.

The ending was much better. In other games I was always pretty sad when it ended cause there was no more gameplay, but with 4 I was pretty happy it ended.

kek

>Adam
>Hardest psychopath

All you need is a pistol pop his balloons, and you're good. Even then Adam isn't even close to being the hardest boss when there's Cliff, Sean and if you arrive late to the Kent fight.

>mfw i will never experience the dead rising threads when the remaster was released again

>openly shit-talked previous titles
Really? Not doubting it, it just feels so wrong.

are Canadians incapable of making a good videogame?

>missed out on them and picked up months after
>still have a great time

You can never save the one you love and there's very little porn of her.

You really did miss out. Those threads were the best. I liked completing the game with the best ending on the "first attempt" i did play it on xbox when it was released. Did look up a bit where to find specific items such as those mini chainsaws and the book that let you use it extra long

The first THICC character I faced in videogames.

underrated post

>TJ Rotolo (voice of Frank) wasn't even contacted to do the project. The devs just wanted a new guy who'd do it for cheap.
It doesn't surprise me that Capcom would do this, but I've also heard TJ just couldn't do it because of the voice actor strike

hot damn

Isabella and Rebecca were better waifus

Castlevania turned out pretty good

If it wasn't so sad it would be kinda funny how they clearly had no fucking clue what to do with Isabella after the first game

>whoever has faith in a game that's being made by the original dev team that's been with the series since the first one needs to wake up
Nah you just need to stop being ignorant. Almost every shitty game that Capcom "made" was outsourced to a different development company.

youtube.com/watch?v=GUiq6QnuMOI

The 56:40 mark of this dissection starts with highlighting what is probably the biggest "fuck you" from nu-male faggot in charge Joe Nickolls, who picks on the writers on writers of previous Dead Rising games for having an inferior story.

Dead Rising 1 is objectively better than Dead Rising 2 because you only have one savefile at a time and you can't continue after you died/a survivor dies, which makes the game an actual survival horror game where everything counts thanks to the constant ticking of time and you'll often find yourself having to risk missing a survivor in order to go save or pick a weapon.

>inb4 the lack of continues makes the game too hard :'(
See pic

Why the fuck is Retro literally God's gift to Earth? Why can't more western studios be like them?

Nick almost strangled her to death but he's too much of a pushover and believes everyone's lies

I have a PS3 and a laptop too shit to run the PC version of Dead Rising. Is it worth buying a 360 for about $40 solely to play Dead Rising and nothing else?

FRANK IS BACK

>nothing else

At least get RDR and Lost Odyssesy ya dumbass and yes it's worth it.

90% of DR1 is escort missions so its shit tbqh

Everything you said is objectively wrong, how do you fuck up this badly?
If you die in DR1 you just got back to your last save, and in DR2 you couldn't just spawn at a checkpoint, you had to manually save too, the only difference was that you had 3 slots so you could have 3 separate Chuck files as opposed to DR1 where you only had 1 Frank.
Having one save file was one of the biggest complaints about the first DR1 but I don't expect a moron like you to remember the games release.

I have RDR on the PS3 though
Why does Hank East look younger than Frank West is in DR2?

>RDR on PS3
user i'm so sorry

Meh, I gotta a thing for blondes so yeah but Rebecca was hot with those innuendos.

goddamnit that fucking forehead

It seems like a nostalgia meme on this board. Survivor AI is infuriating, and the convicts are a retarded addition. Everything else would be great, but it's a shame a major part of the game is fucking broken.

pretty much, off the record is real good too though.

4 is made by western developers so of course its ass.

2, and OTR were made by western dev too you stupid weeb, so was 3 and 3 was fine if forgettable. 4 is just an abomination.

They're retarded yeah but posting bait is just as bad.

What's wrong with the PS3 version?

off the record was made because they effed up 2 it wasnt written by western devs, where did you get that idea from?

DR1 is not made by western devs I dont know what your smoking. 3 was also ass.

>4
Where do I start
>Frank looks and acts nothing like old Frank
>New VA, although he's not bad but they should have got the original
>No psychopaths, instead we get survivors with combo weapons
>Entire town of Willamette and mall, literally no reason to go to the mall, map isn't fun to explore
>Story is shit, zombies were cured in 3 but they're making more because why not
>Paid dlc for overtime mode
>People complained about no timer so the over time mode is a forced hour timer, doesn't reset on death
>Overtime mode is zombie Frank where everything is hand to hand or puking
It's still kinda fun for a mindless zombie killing game but holy fuck it's a bad game

lower res, framerate and no AA
Where did I say 1 was made by western devs you stupid fuck?
>it wasn't written
it was developed by Capcom Vancouver as was 2.

It's like every fucking leaf just wants to get everyone to hate their bones for all eternity.

Fucking hell.

Is the wii version worth playing for curiosity's sake?

Dead Rising one was not developed by Capcom Vancouver.

Try googling next time before you try to talk about things you clearly dont understand.

k thx bai

>umvc3 frank looks more like frank than hank
>pxz frank looks more like frank than hank
>mvci frank will probably look worse than hank

I literally never said DR1 was developed by CV you fucking illiterate piece of shit.
both OTR and 2 were developed by CV
Can you not read? Are you fucking retarded? Kill yourself.
