OnlySP: Microsoft is giving special treatment to three Xbox One games by designating them the “Day One” games, complete with special physical packaging. A small gesture, but perhaps more meaningful than the packaging is the marketing that is going into these games. These are Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome, and Dead Rising 3. Those three are cornerstones to the new Microsoft platform: Forza has the highest resolution and cleanest look, Ryse is the gritty but beautiful action brawler with something to prove, and Dead Rising is the open-world zombie basher with identity problems.
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.
Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...
Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁
Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.
They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.
They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.
This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.
VGChartz's Patrick Day-Childs: "2020 is upon us! The past decade has had some downs, like the influx of monetisation within full games, Blizzard's community backlash and EA winning the worst company in America award twice, but also some ups, like the leaps in understanding gaming from more mainstream companies to wholesome news like gamers helping preserve a controller signed by someone’s deceased mum.
The decade has also been the highlight of some… bizarre news, and I decided collect together some of the more obscure and quirky stories to make you giggle or question what the hell happened this decade."
Nope. It's an identity of it's own.
"I’m not sure if it’s been done purposefully, but Dead Rising has been given the short end of the stick when it comes to advertising."
Probably too man great games at launch. But it'll get it's shine in due time.
The market it found was my wallet! Day 1
Uhhh, it's been promoted around The Walking Dead and it's had it's own *specials* on The Talking Dead.
That's pretty good advertising, if you ask me.
Not trolling but, it's because it's a deadrising game. They all had similar treatment, particularly 2. Issue is partially stuck in a marketing zone of not being a mindblowing system selling hardcore game like, say, Titanfall is expected to be, but also far from family friendly. DR is also sort of
of a bygone era of "A" games. Will 3 bring it to "AAA" status? Time will tell.
I've been put off Dead Rising since the second...
I personally am finding Dying Light the better Zombie Game at the moment. Hopefully it's as good as it looks.
