In 2006, the sight of a screen full of zombies, all moving independently of one another and all fresh for the kill... well it was pretty damn impressive. It was enough to mask Dead Rising's obvious flaws - an antiquated and unnecessarily frustrating save system, clunky controls, and an overreliance on trial and error.
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.
So it seems like the adverage score for this game is 8/10 or 70-100. Not bad i have no doubts this game will sucked. Loved the first one high replayability.
This one feels clunky as hell. Still fun to be had, but damn where's the polish?
It feels like skate2 or assassins creed2 to me. Where the first games really stood out as having a nice feel to them, the sequels suffered though they had more features. Maybe the extras took up too much dev time, or maybe the devs kinda relaxed a bit since they didn't have to make a statement as they would have to with a new IP
