Dead Rising |OT| Chop Till You Drop Remastered
- Thread starter Grief.exe
- Start date
Reading about the intense grind and abhorrent bugs and game breaking glitches in ReCore you might wanna hold off on that.
I watched a trailer on the development for Dead Rising 4 and the developer started off the trailer with, "This is exactly what Dead Rising is about, putting some powerful weapons together and killing as many zombies as possible."
I don't think you could miss the point more with what made the first game compelling if you tried. I guess it's their responsibility to try to target as wide a demographic as possible, but I don't really see that working.

I've never played any of the games besides the 360 launch of the original for maybe 30 minutes. If I can only buy one asap which one would Neo recommend?

In retrospect, having the "### Killed" stat in the corner was a bad idea.
Sad to see how Dead Rising fell to Saints Row Syndrome.

Anyone having problems in the beginning hours of the game: Grab yourself a female mannequin torso and get the "Interior Design" book in the bookstore on the second floor of the first area.
Female Mannequin Torsos are really overpowered in the game and you can attack very quickly with them, too. Making them 3x more durable is making them even better.
They knock down pretty much anything, so if you're having problems with Adam the Clown, grab yourself that torso, hit him with it, stay away a bit until he stopped breathing fire, then hit him again up to two times, repeat.
Even Carlito goes down with three or four hits from a mannequin torso in his first boss fight.
Mannequin torsos. Really fucking reliable.
Only outclassed by Adam's mini chainsaws.

6 pages and I only saw 1 person (Alfredo) mention the glory that are mannequin torsos as one of the best weapons in the game. And it's available to you from the get go.
For shame GAF.

I was on mobile and misread it, I thought they said "any of the game" as in only DR1 and were asking which of the 3 versions to buy.

Not actually that important
Is OTR rock-solid 60fps on PS4?

I wouldn't know since the game refuses to go past the opening credits screen. I'd hold off on getting it at the moment.

I grabbed this on PC and got it installed. I barely played the 360 version way back when, as I was really bad at video games at the time, so I most of my experience came down to watching a friend play it.
I got it installed and I don't know what I was expecting seeing that it is A) an MT Framework game and B) a 2006 Xbox 360 game, but it runs like butter on my aging PC and I can't wait to drop some serious time into it this weekend.
I always really liked the structure of this game compared to what came after, so I'm really happy to have it on PC finally.

Should I buy this on PS4 or Steam? Is the PS4 version 60fps?
I read some conflicting reports about the port quality on Steam's reviews.

Did those Steam reviews tell you what they're running? Conflicting reviews on PC is a wildcard given how many thousands of different builds can be out there.
If you're that concerned, then go with PS4. They have a submission process to at least make sure that when you press the ps button most times it won't crash the entire thing.

Thanks, I took the plunge on the Steam version after I saw that I could get a $3 discount for owning all other DR games.

I wouldn't put Dead Rising 2 in anywhere near the same ballpark as 3, since for approximately half of the game (before you get the more ludicrous combo weapons et al) is still somewhat faithfully retains the survival aspect of the original, a number of concessions notwithstanding. DR3 on the other hand turned it all the way around.

I had DR2 on PS3 and finished it all, played the hell out of it in single amd co-op. I recently bought both on PC, thinking that OTR might not be as good. I installed 2, found out the controller support is iffy at best, and uninstalled in favour of OTR. I've since realised that it's the same game with a different character and story (it still had the tiger), and is much better in terms of controller support.
Tldr 2 had nostalgia on its side and OTR still wins.
Oh nice, with button prompts as well?

Yeah I absolutely wrecked Carlito with a torso last night. ... How is Frank even getting a good grip!?
Can't wait to get home and play this. This is THE game that made me realise the (then) next generation was here, as this simply wasn't something you could have achieved on weak hardware (as the Wii port proves).
It rarely came about for me during 72 hour mode, and I can only think of one or two split second cases where I noticed it, but for Overtime mode, there was a lot of tearing going on from the moment you have to collect 10 queens onwards. It's not simultaneous or enough to ruin the experience, but it is there.

I could of sworn there were icons that appeared when survivors were within range of the doors to travel to the next zone with you in the 360 version that seem to be missing on the PC version. Am I just imaging things?
that was in DR2
(WRT DR1) So I can't remember - what's the general way to play through this? For example, I started off with 2 'missions' one was for the camera guy and one for the girls partner. I went straight to the camera guy as the time was lower on him, I don't even recall him when I originally played lol!? Anyway, after finding him and taking some snaps I went for the other guy. Now, the time limit was 3 & 6 hrs - so I had plenty of time, should I be cracking on with those missions or should I be finding otehr survivors - killing zombies - or what?
Just beat the game and got the true ending (overtime mode) after starting at level 1, something I never accomplished on 360 (Ended at level 30). Feels so so SO good. Got super dicey trying to avoid the
since they melt you so fast with their attacks. But man. What a game!
The time limit for a case is shared for each sub-case (eg, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 etc), so it's possible to go do the first part of a case really late and then screw yourself over for the rest since you'll have no time left. If you are on say Case 2, look at the start time for Case 3 and that will give you a decent idea how long you have to finish the case you are on. For your first time, it's a good idea to pretty much ignore any side-quests unless it is directly on your way to/from wherever you're already going. OR ignore the main campaign and just do the side-quests to level up a bit before starting over with Frank West+. Until you get leveled up and learn the layout of the mall like the back of your hand (and you will), generally speaking there isn't going to be enough time to do everything so choose wisely.

I'm in the middle of a run from level one where I want to get ending S and save everybody. Doing everything in time to make it to Case 7 was hell.
Cheers, so I can ignore the campaign and just go around 'messing about' killing zombies and saving some survivors which will level me up giving me a better chance on my next playthrough? I assume I have to meet the helli after 72 hours to get the 'plus' mode? Is 72 hrs the only way to play? Sorry for all the Qs..
Dude, you're nuts! I barely saved 20 people. In particular, I didn't have a prayer of saving the black couple where the guy is injured and argues to be left behind. Frank is sooooooo slow without any speed upgrades.
You can restart from the beginning with your level intact whenever you want, you aren't obligated to finish the full 72 hours. If you mean Overtime mode, yeah you have to complete all cases and be at the helipad when the helicopter is set to arrive.
FINALLY! i wanted to buy an XBOX just for this game in the past, i never played it sadly, only DR2 on PS3 and love it!
so is the PC Port clean? without problems? if so i would buy it later today and start playing it finally
.
the so called stunhits or whatever these are called were present in the xbox version too? or is this really some technical problem and not a gameplay feat?

Skateboards help a ton.
Many thanks! Any other tips - seems like I can just mess about and get to know the place, level and and then when good and ready restart - but any tips outside that?
Oh, clever! I've never used one except as a novelty. Grabbed one, rode into a wall almost immediately and went, "Whelp, that's about enough of that."
I'm hesitant to say anything too specific because a lot of the fun of the game is the discovery and the sense of getting stronger and better as you go. But... there's an SMG in Paradise Plaza that you can get right from the beginning of the game that will help a ton. It's sort of hidden though :X Also, experiment with the blenders. Different combinations of food will give drinks with different perks that can save your butt in a pinch.
Cheers, I haven't readd this too much so can come back if I need to
I seem to recall a katana being somewhere too...I will (like you say) have a play and enjoy myself
Thanks

I think you're right. But I still think combo weapons and co-op should not be part of Dead Rising. I like the minigames in DR2 though.

If I only pickup one of these just now, DR1 or DR2?

My favorite of the series is DR2, but DR1 is the one to get if you only get one. It's still a great game and it's the first in the series. DR2 refined many aspects of experience (all for the better as far as I'm concerned, but many disagree). But if you play DR2 first, enjoy it, and decide to play DR1 you might be a little disappointed and/or frustrated with the mechanics. Plus DR2 does reference DR1 enough in the story that playing them in order works best.

it doesn't have official mod support, but there's already a modder working on stuff; he had lots of practice working on the 360 version using a dev console.

Case Zero was even more DR1 in retrospect and it's a shame more people wont get to play it. Some of the best character moments (in the whole series) between Chuck and Katey are in it as well

I've always looked at the series like this:
Dead Rising: Best story, best characters, great layout, goofy as fuck (so much ham), thrilling story, acceptable combat and a lot of things to explore. Pacing is very good and when you're fully upgraded, the timer is an excellent challenge.
Contrast is used brilliantly, there's great build up then the way things get more crowded as the game progresses, all within a pristine shiny mall creates brilliant atmosphere, the best in the entire series.
Downside is the shit tier AI that frustrates more than it helps, a fairly broken weapon system (toy chainsaw + 3 books = ultimate destruction) that either makes the game a loving good time or a broken piece of crap and vehicles handle like ass. It is also a 10 year old game and it feels like it at times, a bit janky, jittery and doesn't have the best flow.
Dead Rising 2 Good story, Chuck rules, good characters, an ok level layout and the weapon crafting is amazing. Still goofy but strewn in with some great drama, although the thrill is somewhat gone. Combat feels a bit better, however the formula feels a bit worn out.
Downside is Zombrex mechanic has more crushing weight than the timer in the first game, watching that clock tick down to your daughter dying is pretty distressing and if it was their desire then they nailed it. But on initial playthroughs it was tough. Combat is still janky and for an action game that feels like a new age beat em up it was pretty weak at times. The levels get dull fairly quickly and exploration isn't as exciting. It's also painfully slow to get started, Chuck moves like a complete tool and takes far too long for things to get interesting. The whole package is okay, but it feels generic to a degree.
It was still a good game.
Dead Rising 3
Characters are ok if uninteresting, combat is fantastic and the weapon combos are brilliant. The method to keep plans, find stuff early, do whatever just feels good.
Downside is the level layout and fetch quest style gameplay. It doesn't quite have that open world feeling, but it plays shitty like most open worlds do. Go here, do thing, go here, get reward. It gets boring very quickly and is ultimately forgettable.
The level design is shit tier and it looks fucking awful. Way too dark and gritty with too much emphasis on bleak atmosphere. The lack of contrast is annoying.
I'm keen as all fuck for Dead Rising 4, but they need to look at what made the first one so memorable in light of it being a launch window title. Ambition drove that game to be the quality it is now, formula could drive 4 to being a forgettable adventure that 3 was.
I think play them in order, DR1 is still quite good after the first hour or so, DR2 takes too long to get going and doesn't feel as good a product. It's also very impressive for a 2006 game and what Capcom had in mind for the time is seriously impressive. Although they felt short of having a goal where you could pick up any object in any store (processing for that alone doesn't exist yet) they still designed a great action game with a solid story. Plus Frank is a dumbass who is great.

He's not that hard if you just hit and run with the Katana. You can find one on the awning next to the upstairs food place in the starting plaza (you can also stock up on orange juices).
Just go in for one or two hits with the Katana then back off and repeat, some of his attacks you can consistently avoid and do a lot of damage with. Just make sure not to attack while he's blocking because it'll take a ton of durability from your weapons.

A little off topic so please forgive me.
Is there no physical triple pack in America? My steam copy of the first game is giving me trouble so figured I'd buy it on the One and noticed DR1 and DR2 have "standard editions" and that is all fine and good but did my favorite game in the series Off the Record not get a physical copy on either ps4 or xbox one?

Nope. Makes no sense, and I already had a moan at Capcom for not putting out all 3 on one blu ray and calling it a remaster collection. They're doing the same with RE and it's just money grabbing Capcom being Capcom. At times they seem to want to try and be Konami.
At least Konami put the MGS remasters on one disc.
The Mall of America has an amusement park in the middle of it. It makes the mall more of a destination for both tourists and locals, and it makes a lot of money from the overpriced rides and concessions.
Anyway, so I'm getting the idea that DR1 on PS4 is ok but DR2 and OTR are not working, is that correct?
