Looks generic and absolutely terrible, completely lost the charm, atmosphere and tone of the original Dead Rising. Glad it was cancelled.

 

[DavidGzz]

They probably didn't want to get cancelled for mowing down mi gente. I would have loved to get a killing spree while dual wielding some maracas.

 

[Germuso]

Looks better than dr4.

A new one with re engine and re2 gore...damn

 

[Moses85]

Good decission to cancel it

 

[lh032]

i fucking hate the color scheme

 

[MMaRsu]

Bury Dead Rising until you make it like 1/2 otherwise DONT BOTHER

 

[mrmustard]

Looks awful. 1 + 2 were great, 3 still good, 4 sucked. Just remake 1 please.

 

[Bridges]

Looks nothing like what made the originals great. It is insane to me how badly they lost the plot with this franchise and when they had such a winning formula with the first few games.

By Capcom Vancouver one year after DR4 came out? There was no way this was going to be good.

I just want a Switch port of DR1 PLEASE!

 

[Drizzlehell]

Never liked the series. The combat always felt completely weightless to me and the appeal of cutting through crowds of zombies like hot knife through butter gets old after a few minutes.

If this was remade on re engine with combat that feels a bit more kinetic and punchy then I'd be interested, though.

 

[SALMORE]

the movement is much better than previous games and it's nice too see Chuck again but still doesn't look like a traditional Dead Rising game

they should make a new one inspired by the movies Demoni 2 and REC

Shit was not hot

This is the problem. The appeal of the original games was time management and an almost rogue-like gameplay loop that highly rewarded exploration and experimentation. Plus being trapped in a confined space with a cast of psychopaths The zombies were mostly just obstacles, being able to mow them down dozens at a time was just a side thing that you couldn't even do in the first several games outside of a few key areas.

For whatever reason though CV thought the only reason people like the games was what you're saying, so they leaned in way too hard to making Zombie Dynasty Warriors and stripped out everything that made DR fun and unique.

4 had no time management, no psychopaths, no survivors, no replayability, no co-op, an overly huge map, covered every area wall to wall with zombies, watered down the combo system... Terrible game that completely forgot what franchise it was from in its quest for mass appeal.

Looks rather like Fortnite.

The original Dead Rising setting of the Shopping Mall was genius - it contained the game world within a coherent logical environment that worked on its own (and as a homage to Romero's Dawn Of The Dead).
