Whether or not you're a fan of the series there's no denying they have some serious issues. Sure they're fun, quirky and there's no shortage of fantastically brutal ways to dismember/burn/freeze/mow down the undead but much of the potential fun is held back by some serious flaws. Here are some of the things that are really holding the series back, as well as a few things the series needs to keep in the next game.
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record felt like the zombie survival series' peak, with Frank West's non-canon adventure providing massive thrills.
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.
Regarding the time limit in DR it should be kept in.
However there should be a sandbox mode unlocked right from the main menu without finishing the main story. But the sandbox would be limited until you do certain things in the main story.
The reason the time limit is there is because the game gets surprisingly boring if you just kill zombies. The missions keep you from getting bored.
On a related note trainers for the PC DR2 are out there and you can stop the clock whenever you want.
The timer SUCKS, I remember playing coop mode with my cuz and we past the game without hardly saving anywone because we wanted to explore and kill lol... Then I played alone and tried to save everyone, but it was just wayyyyy too hard... I managed to save and kill everone except for 6 people in the notebook... If I would of found the last six I would of gotten a gold trophy, but its more of a pain in the ass...
I do agree with Robsonmonkey... The game should have an optinal time limit and if U bet the game with the timer you get something special ? ... Maybe
i played the first one on the wii then got the second one on my ps3 while i enjoyed the game the problem was location its hard to do all of them sometimes cuz i get lost or think im going the right way only to find my self all the way to the opposite side of the mall plus not getting enough time to complete the mission
plus though trophies and or achievements shouldnt matter its impossible to kill the x amount of zombies its requiring you to kill before the time limit is finish
because once you beat the game or the time limit is over you have to restart the killing count all over again
NO TIME LIMIT
and Camera and control like RDR
Remove the timer, thats it. Why cant they make it like GTA? we should be able to do whatever we want at anytime, isnt that what sandbox is all about?
