OH NO WE ARE IN CONFLICT NOW! Maybe "fun" means different things to different people..?
Dead Rising 3 created "to go after the Call of Duty player"

Why do you think it's a review? I watched the developers play a demo, asked them questions, and wrote an editorial. They want to "have their cake and eat it too" (their words) by trying to appeal to everyone. I don't think that strategy has ever worked, and I'm disappointed that they're changing what makes Dead Rising unique.

And this is why Resident Evil 6 was a huge piece of shit.

Oh thank god, I was worried there was going to be an xbone exclusive that I'd actually regret missing. Good to know they're gutting the property instead. I hope it fails and they're forced to actually be creative next time around. If enough wannabe CoDs fail, eventually someone will notice and try something different. It's all fine and dandy when the tinier 3rd parties are the ones getting destroyed, but when the big ones start feeling the pain they'll try branching out.
I agree, the timer upped the threat of zombies, not because they could kill you but because they wasted your valuable time.
I am a big proponent of the timer in the main game, but there should also be a sandbox mode like DR2:OTR.

Another XB1 exclusive i don't care about.
The accuracy!

It added an incredible sense of urgency and also made the game almost infinitely replayable as it was simply impossible to see and do everything in one play through.
God, Dead Rising 1 is incredible.
I love you Dead Rising 1. We are connected, you and I.
I'm pretty sure I could see everything if I actually planned it out, I rescued 50+ survivors once without planning in DR1.
*sigh*
So many games trying to grab that CoD market share. Devs are clueless. They don't want this game. They want something to top CoD or another CoD itself. Did they just forget they have other markets that can lead them to plenty of money? Did anyone think Skyrim could pull in the market share it did for the RPG market?

They made an achievement based around doing exactly that in Dead Rising 1, Transmissionary. It's one of the hardest achievements to earn ever. It's also extremely rewarding and tense when you pull it off, 6 hours straight racing against the clock. It's like an impromptu 100% speedrun. Amazing implementation of Achievements in DR1. Getting rid of the time restraint really trivializes the game.
If you only ever really wanted to go through the story in Dead Rising 1 or 2, you had plenty of time to do it and screw around as well. It's just the compulsive gamer that makes everyone desperate to do and see everything when the game is built for multiple playthroughs from the get go.
I hate achievements, the original Dead Rising is still the only game I've ever played that made them interesting. Rewards for doing things that were difficult, encouragement to play the game in a completely different manner than you normally might, and genuine sense of accomplishment, aside from the genocide one which I'm pretty sure was just an achievement for withstanding boredom caused by driving around in the basement smashing zombies for an hour.

Shouldn't you be able to do all that stuff in the pause menu?
I am all for putting stuff in the world that requires gamers to actually search and plan for, as opposed to force feeding it to you, saying "Look at this shit! Is this shit not awesome?!". You get out as much as you put in essentially.

Because the atmosphere would be so edgy it would constantly mow the grass.

Yea because that's just as convenient, have you actually ever used a touchscreen before?
Also I like the fact that someone could be sitting next to me dropping bombs\airstrikes, helping set way points, discover stuff, managing inventory and direct me through the level, basically playing part of the game with my iPad.
maybe it's zombie grass...
You cared enough to post in the thread and tell us about your interesting and lovely thoughts.

This generation won't be all about Call of Duty. That was so last-gen.
Of course, this generation might end up being all about Battlefield instead, which is the same thing really. But, still...

Yea the good thing is cod should be done soon. Industry needs a huge fresh of new air and ideas. Everyone needs to do their own thing.
I'd rather be able to hold on to a controller while playing a game instead of having to pick up another device. Maybe that's just me, though. The Xbox One does have snap technology, they could just build these features around that so you never have to put down the controller.

I do this all the time using my ipad as a game guide for Skyrim, the ipad sits on the table or couch next to me and is operated with a single finger hence the controller never needs to be "put down" , it's insanely convenient no idea why people think this is so much of a challenge.
In my case someone else like girlfriend or nephew would have their fun doing the part of the iPad , so we'd basically being playing a single player game as a team.......to me this has endless single couch co-op opportunities.

I don't know why devs ever say something this. I would hope they would be more self-aware. Mentioning "Call of Duty" is bound to bring in negative press. It is not like people playing Call of Duty are going to perk up their ears when someone says that on website they are probably not reading and suddenly buy your game. You get them to by showing them the game and convincing them that it would be something they would like. And in this case in particular, there are tons of successful and "serious" zombie-based IP to bring up anyway. The Walking Dead, Dead Island, Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil (duh).
In most cases, it isn't even true. Resident Evil 6, for example, doesn't actually play like Call of Duty and it is full of things that wouldn't be in a Call of Duty, such as advanced dodge/counter mechanics and a wide variety of enemies who don't pin you behind cover. It likely frustrated casual players and it didn't feature usual online deathmatch multiplayer (the actual reason Call of Duty is successful) until quite later (and even then, not very comparable).
The real news though is that it reconfirms what they said about making the series more serious, at least on the surface. This combined with Xbone exclusivity and essential features of the series being moved to extraneous modes means Capcom has another PR mess on their hands. To be honest threads have become quite tedious to read because all of the resentment and grudges flying around them (maybe one of the worst things about GAF is the obsession over videogame industry drama), but they seem to want to be hated at times. Even if it is completely different in tone or content, there is a chance this game is good (and the "classic" mode they made turns out alright, somehow), but they are making people write the series off by giving the impression they are aiming low. EA spins better than this.

The more I learn about the modern day Capcom the more I'm amazed that DmC was as enjoyable as it was. I remember that Bombcast where Jeff had just been to see their latest games in Italy (RE6 and DmC) and apparently the Capcom guys just wanted to talk about COD and Battlefield.

"Capcom is pointedly trying to appeal to a wider audience in this latest iteration, saying it's going after the Call of Duty player."
it's always at the third installment that developers decide to pull this 'catering to the casuals' shit

Resident Evil 6's complexity was vasty widened compared to previous games, and I really wish Call of Duty was on the same level. It plays nothing like it in any way.
But yeah, my hope of this having the same unique elements as the first two has kind of gone out the window. I'm sure I'll still enjoy, how many polished open world zombie games are there really, but it's still a bummer to read.
They've confirmed costumes and it's way too early to judge the latter. We saw one tiny bit of an open world game, personally I really liked the boxing shot and thought the music change was quite cool. If they really did remove the psychos though it'll be a major disappointment, they brought a lot of diversity and intensity to the previous games.
Edit: Did a Capcom Vancouver rep actually say they're going after Call of Duty players? It almost reads to me like an assumption on the writer's part, whether then something actually said to them. People love to compare things to Call of Duty after all, even when it doesn't make sense.
