That's not me .

You know, they could have easily added anxiety/tension to this game without a time limit, simply by adding an unstoppable Mr. X/Nemesis type zombie constantly hunting you.

72 HOURS UNTIL GAME IS PUBLISHED

Im still amazed about how I keep forgetting that Dead Rising 4 was a real game I always think there are only 3 dead rising in the franchise

They switched the timers from real life and the game. The timer went to the developers to finish quickly and the free time was switched to the game

You accomplished 2 things with this video : 1. I'll never buy Dead Rising 4 2. I'll give Dead Rising 3 a fair try

The game might not have a timer but the devs sure did.

DR3: Psychopaths that represent the Seven Sins DR4: A guy dressed as Santa

Google? That's never gonna catch on.

Interesting thing to note, "New Coke" was focus tested like crazy to massive acclaim from the taste testers, when it came to the market though it tasted like garbage and bombed. The reason? New Coke tasted good in small sips, just like they gave the taste testers. Deadrising 4 might have been popular with the people who played it in a room for 15 minutes but... I think you can see my point

They cut so many corners it's a sphere now...

Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty. The bathrooms you could see yourself in up to 5 mirrors at once mirroring your movements respectfully, granted it was only you in there and 1 or two enemies at the most. However you would still see all reflections with you in and the enemies as you fight or drag them around. Game is like 13 years old or more.

They did spend more than a year On dlc

One thing I've always wondered about DR4 was why is the mall so dark? In the first two games I've played everything was bright, colorful, and stood out. Things such as food, weapons, and stores were very noticeable. Trying to find your way around the mall and find weapons and food looks very suffocating under what little light is shown in DR4's mall. Maybe they were trying to add a feeling of horror and claustrophobia with the darkness? But it just doesn't look right for Dead Rising

My Grandma got me this game a year ago and it's still in it's plastic wrap. I feel kinda bad now. :(

You know what’s cool about Nick Ramos in DR3? I was watching a video about the game by TehSnakerer and he talks about how at the start of the game, Nick is afraid of the zombies and the situation he’s in and he even has a few dialogue cues that reflect that. But as the game goes on, he becomes a little more courageous and, for lack of a better word, comfortable in the zombie apocalypse and starts throwing around a few one liners. It’s very subtle character building, but it’s cool if you catch it. Unlike Frank in DR4 who keeps talking about mini golf.

"I could just take my Nanas ashes, pour them on the controller, and she could beat the game for me." Jesus fucking christ. Subscribed.

it only takes a small amount of time to create garbage, but sadly it takes years to decompose.

Other youtubers: "If you enjoy this game, more power to you." Renn: "I'm gonna make you hate it."

"We're bringing back Willamette!" *Creates a town and mall that doesn't represent Willamette geographically in slightest, only connection is name*

Hey im a moderator from /r/deadrising and just wanted to ask you to try resubmitting this video. I dont know why it was removed, but this video deserves to be up.

I returned this after two days. And bought Dead rising 1 for Xbox one

Whoever said it was right, This isn’t Frank West this is Wank Fest

I prefer Dead Rising 2, it's honestly a favourite for me

Holy shit I just watched a 32 minute video about a game that I dont know and dont play and I'm not interested in just because the guy commenting was fucking amazing

Straight up I bought the game, finished it the same day, and sold it two days later. After you complete the campaign there is nothing left to do. Yes you can argue it's just a campaign game, but the game is 60$ it's just not worth it.

Dead Rising 1 is the best because it had the best paced story and atmosphere. Its the only game in the series designed around making you feel stressed and claustrophobic, DR2 focused more on pure wacky fun. DR1 is the only story in the series I can think of that has an actual message, which was basically a critique of corruption in the American government which is pretty impressive for a goofy Japanese zombie game. The happy mall music starts the game out kinda chill, but as the game carries on there’s more and more zombies (and soldiers) and the game gets more and more stressful in a good way, and the happy mall music is less and less present. The first time I saw the black ops guys show up, I was basically sneaking around in the dark with low health and low supplies, sneaking to the orange juice in the dark and nervously chugging it hoping I don’t hear “GET ‘IM!!” and get mowed down, barely inching my way along to the safe room. When I first saw the chopper crash in DR1 I felt the same way Frank did. I actually kinda gave a damn about Jessie and Brad, they appear to be the ones in charge instead of Frank on the first playthru and losing them was a big bummer, it’s cool because most of the game’s story (government, Jess, Brad, Carlito, Isabela) already happened offscreen but Frank is just the guy to piece it all together. (I didn’t give a shit about any side characters in DR2 like those hippie chick, except Rebecca Chang was a decent Ada Wong/Catwoman counterpart.) And also something about the opening of DR1 made the safe room feel like an actual important shelter that zombies can’t make their way to. Going back to the safe room felt like a journey, and you felt like you needed to mentally prepare before leaving it. The mall in the game is a lot scarier and more claustrophobic than the big open casinos of DR2 that were designed for pure fun instead of scare factor. When the mall goes dark you felt nervous. Escorting survivors was stressful in a good way and somehow, to me, the survivors’ awful AI made it more effective. This is just cope but it’s almost like they’re acting irrationally because they’re frightened. But I have to say, DR2, Case West, and OTR are also great, they feel like actual big expansions of the ideas DR1 had, they all take place in one “small” location the entire game yet it still feels like there’s a lot of mysteries hidden in the locations. Secret passages etc. the stories were less compelling that 1 but still focused on uncovering a conspiracy in a pretty interesting way, just not as stressful. Case West especially felt like an amazing combination of Dead Rising 1’s characters and story with Dead Rising 2’s story and gameplay and honestly DeadRising 2 feels like a side story in comparison. Dead Rising 3 was really good but it was too open and not colorful enough for a Dead Rising game, it went for the Walking Dead aesthetic because that was *THE popular show to watch* at the time. but the story in it was pretty impressive and there were A LOT of plot twists I didn’t expect. It was a fun as hell game it just wasn’t very stressful and was too sandboxy, yet didn’t quite have the “goofy” factor of the past games, making it slightly futuristic was also weird. DR4 focused TOO much on the “goofy” because they assumed all Dead Rising players want is Frank West, fart jokes, and super powered weapons. They assumed shit like mowing down huge groups of zombies with mech suits and magic norse mythology weapons was what people bought DR for. They tried to go back to their roots by having a game focused around a conspiracy in Willamette with Frank West, which was actually sort of cool, but the story felt cliche and the game looked kinda ugly. It’s cool that you could finally actually explore the town of Willamette, and the mall was absolutely gigantic, you could spend hours and hours never going to the outside town, but the Willamette mall was really the only fun place to be in the game and it was more like a normal real life mall instead of a really stylish mall like DR1. What sucks is apparently they were working on a Dead Rising 5 that was going to pretend 4’s story never happened, but then Capcom Vancouver got shut down so I guess we won’t get another dead Rising for a long time.

I don’t get how a franchise like DeadRising could go from AMAZING to TRASH in a single game. DeadRising 1, 2, and 3 were fun as hell (with an interesting story) and then DR4 just felt straight up bland.

“Well then where do I poop? *On the disk*” That was so beautiful...

Dead Rising 2 OTR may have been non canon, but it was the return of Frank West actually done right.

Capcom making dead rising 4 was like: CEO: alright, we need to make dead rising 4 Worker: sure, let's get everything good we did in dead rising 1, 2 and 3 then improvise CEO: yeah sure, If they liked these 3 games then they gonna love the new one Worker: yeah, First we need to make cool psycopa- CEO: woah woah woah...why psycopaths? What about we make something like that but without charisma and call them as maniacs? Oh! And make them based on waves!! Worker: ok...now the in-game timer, we need to think abo- CEO: TIME?! That shit was annoying in the other games, remove that shit! The players need freedom!!! Worker: o-ok...then we can add some cool side ques- CEO: side quests?!?! Are you CRAZY?! Do you think players like to do stuff that aren't related to the story? Actually, just add some generic survivors who gives random stuff to the player Worker: well...do you have any more ideas? CEO: hmmm, what about we kill Frank in the end of the game and then revive him as a zombie in some DLC story and also add some talking zombie guy as the main villain? Worker: that's It! I'm out of here! Maybe i should work on death stranding with kojima...

I hated how the developers of this Godforsaken game had the audacity to state that they were part of the original Dead Rising. Even though it was clear as day they had absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

+RennsReviews hey man, game dev here. When images are reflected off surfaces, its not for example, upto 3 to 4 complete copies of assets displayed through said reflective surface, but an engine mounted in game camera (like the players third person camera) pointed in the direction the window is facing, displaying an image on that asset face. The texture or assets opacity was probably differed or given a glass styled texture to give it its window effect. Just a heads up. Loved the vid btw!!

how is it that not only the dialogue cuts out in cutscenes, but the SUBTITLES dont appear either. like holy crap, did anyone even test this shitty game? what were they thinking?

The crackdown 3 dev team had six years and look how that turned out

It’s really quite sad. DR4 has more views on KZfaq tearing it apart than the amount of copies it sold. I recently purchased it on sale for 6$ and could only get through about an hour.

"I think my son may have sodomized our dog."

I've watched this 3 times and KZfaq keeps recommending it to me. Time for #4

Turns out you were right. It was made in about 1.5 years. And rushed to hell.

The devs clearly missed the fundamental point of why people liked Frank, he was always so serious and we the players would make him do stupid things which would look funny

The "fresh" zombies are literally ripoffs of virals from Dying Light but worse.

Dead rising 2 off the record was the perfect way of being back frank A non canon spin off That added new weapon combos and all new dialogue and an overall improved experience of the base game of dead rising 2 With even new endings and events And the basis of the lore is great Frank west the legend among men Ended up falling from grace So he tries to go on a zombie game show Based on how well you play the opening arena match the more money you start the game with A risk and reward start But something goes wrong the zombies escape and frank makes his way to the safehouse Cue satisfying and enjoyable story and gameplay of dead rising 2 with the bonus of our home boy frank west

The CrowbCat video is very telling about the dev's philosophy making this game. You can tell that nobody who worked on this game had any passion for it whatsoever. Every design decision was made using meaningless data. "Our research showed that players don't like the time limit", like they must have had 10 children in a room and asked them "Do you think a video game should have a time limit"

For me the first thing i noticed playing this game was that the town feels way too small for the amount of zombies that are present, its like newyork was bussed into a town that seems only large enough to house a couple of hundred people, not to mention that the zombies in the mall feel like more than the town can hold as is, in the first game it made sense for the mall to be packed because they were all packing in looking for the survivors that had hold up there and you never truly knew how big the town was, two and three were set in cities that felt big enough to warrant their zombie populations while this one seems a whole lot smaller in comparison

DR4 had to have been put together in a short period of time. the animations are poor, there are a lot of QC glitches, the story is very desperate in an attempt to reboot the franchise, the weapon depth isn't close to previous titles (both combo and regular weapons) i mean it was still technically "enjoyable" as far as mindless zombie killing goes lol.

Dead rising 4 looks too vibrant to me. The zombies look like Christmas lights when they are in a horde

Now that we know about the game's development after CV's shutdown, we know now that the game WAS actually slapped together in a year with a significantly smaller budget.

I’m kind of glad that they didn’t bring Frank’s original voice actor in here because it would’ve ruined his reputation But I mean who doesn’t wanna play as Michael from GTA5 in a dead rising

I came across this video not knowing what Dead rising 4 was, I still don't know what it is but now that I've finished this video that I already hate Dead rising 4.

Was playing this game, went to go piss, middle of a zombie hoard, come back to almost no damage being done

The Dead Rising 4 is like sequels to Sharknado

Dude, that thumbnail is a 10/10. [Edit] A thousand. Yay.

is this a unity zombie game

This is bad but not as disappointing as mass effect andromeda

00:00 the cool part starts

if this serves as more info , for all I know , most of the people that worked on DR2-3 left or got fired and hired alot of people from EA vancouver, also I don't think DR4 is the way it is because of DR3 underselling, that game sold almost as much as DR2 and that was multiplat, if they didn't keep it as an exclusive I bet it would have sold double. but hey if it serves as good news, 4 didn't even sold a million copies.

I had fun with DeadRising 4, but after I completed the campaign (in 7 hours), there was nothing to do and I instantly got bored. I returned it and got Skyrim Special Edition instead.

If you're wrong, you will stand in a corner until you learn how to not lie.

"Going back to their roots" I think they mean they have a new guy with the same name and job, a new town with the same name, zombies, the game name plus the number 4, and well.. that's about it.. #NOTMYFRANK #NOTMYMALL WHERE ARE MY HEALTH CUBES?!?! WHY DO I HAVE A HEALTHBAR IN A DEAD RISING GAME!!

easy fix: beard man at capcom needs to go. anybody who does not understand Deadriseing needs to go. do something else just not this game.

If the developers say that the game took two years to make, it would make them look even worse because the game is so unfinished that is seems like it were made in a single year.

‘Hey there’s a rumour! Check it out, people be dying!’ I have never laughed harder in my life

This game appeared on Game Pass recently. I played through it. It's okay. *lil shrug* It's easily the weakest in the series, both from a content and story/character point of view. But it was a perfectly fine way to spend some time on a couch, and then later spend some time on a couch while also listening to a podcast, as I mopped up achievements. Would I have been miffed if I'd paid full price for this? Yeah, probably. But with price removed from the equation, it's an okay-ish game that I experienced; I've certainly experienced worse things masquerading as entertainment. P.S. I'm also a fan of DR3. So, y'know, maybe take that in consideration with what I've just said. :D

I thought I was the only one who doesn't like this game that much.......

Also williamette map in Dr4 looks nothing like Dr1... anyone feel the same?

I went to a small town shopping mall that was somehow mostly still in business recently and it was very dull, lifeless, and didn’t do a good job of justifying it’s existence. This game captures that atmosphere fairly accurately.

I still play DR1 TO THIS DAY.

DR2 And DR are the best no argument

Raises hand, I liked Frank a lot. "I photographed wars ya know?" In DR1

We need to cut more corners. We can't, it's already a fucking circle.

Dead rising 3 looks very dark and intense and 4 just looks so poppy and bright there's no fear atmosphere

Is it just me or does Frank look like Michael Desantos brother or something

My name jeff

DR1FrankWest has left the server.

I come back to this video every once in a while. Fantastic job man. I've watched the whole thing 4-5 times

dead rising 4 is basically a dynasty warriors game but with less to it and not as charming

DR4 is a good game because they brought Frank back. (hand me my noose)

7. No Polish *Inserts An Pic Of Polish People* Thats good

I think a lot of the actual devs died inside after rushing the game out

My problem with this game is that they changed or removed things from previous games that simply didn't need to be changed at all. Saying this game was a huge setback from DR3 is literally the best description for it. Surely all they had to do was copy and paste features and just add more new stuff on top of it but for some reason they tried to reinvent the franchise and put no effort into it

I've heard several people saying that DR4 makes 3 look great. Your video definitely proves them right. Great video, man.

I love Dead Rising 2 Off The Record. Now I miss playing the first game too! What really bugs me - and I haven't tried the Dead Rising 4 yet - is Frank's "new voice". I'm used to hear his OG voice, that's one of the things that is charming about Frank. It's his identity! And why is Frank suddenly as slim as a teenager? He should be even chubbier, since he's at let least pushing 50 years by now. Half the thing about Mr Frank West is that he's the anti-hero or the opposite to the typical superhero, that somehow becomes the hero anyway. But I have to give you credit for making this very good critic and I really hear you. You know what you're talking about and I can hear that you have been following the franchise and the Frak West/Willamette Saga. 👍👍

Your bathroom save system/bonfire comparison is spot on, never thought of it like that

Renn, I'm sorry you don't have more channel attention. Your vids always get me excited to watch. Keep it up bro!

#NOTMYFRANK

I’m confused about why there are more zombies than would populate such a small town. There’s barely any residential in this area.

Not enough time to implement a timer wow the irony lmao

They should've ported Dead Rising 3 to PS4 instead.

I don't really see how making Frank the protagonist or putting you back in the original town and mall "cuts a corner" because they have to rebuild all those things from the ground up. Hell the mall doesn't even have the same layout anymore. Returning the series to the original location and protagonist seems more like a "duh" because it's the 10 year anniversary Overall good video though

Capcom: makes shitty zombie game. Also capcom: makes masterpiece monster hunting game.

“Go-Oglee.com” lmao 🤣

Unappreciated channel.

The return to Willamete could've been cool they just fucked it up

The bad thing is you were actually correct about this. They only had a year and a minimum budget due to Capcom Vancouver’s Staff using all of their time to do everything else but make this game.

I think what sums up DR4's Development most is at 26:50 , when the game's developer refers to DR4 as a "Product", rather than 'Dead Rising 4' or even just a 'game'.

dead rising doesn't need a huge map and a bunch of pointless combo weapons to be fun

I rate this early access/10

I always come back to this video every now and then because its the video that introduced me to rennsreviews

i love your reviews renn. your channel is wayyyyyyyyy underrated. it deserves soooooo much more attention then it gets. its horrible that such a quality content creator gets less attention than majority of the shit channels on this site. i know this is an old vid but keep up the good work.
