GameSpy writes: "When Capcom released Dead Rising in mid-2006, it adeptly blended tried-and-true zombie film archetypes with cutting-edge technology to create something altogether new. Unlike the creepier, more atmospheric Resident Evil titles, Dead Rising focused on the sheer glee of hacking one's way through thousands of zombies with whatever implements are handy. Setting the game in a shopping mall made that all the easier, as a hilariously gory kill was never more than an arm's length away."
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.
Some video game weapons are so outlandish they could never realistically be used, and that's why they're on our list of the 10 most impractical weapons in gaming.
Everything is 360 now. PS3 needs to drop out, even multi games seem like 360 excluvies.
I hope the NPD sales get even more punishing for PS3, because they need to drop out.
