So this is the only good game in the series?

2 and Off the Record are also good

2 improves on almost everything from the first gameplay wise
but it lacks the charm, characters, psychopaths, stores, all feel like afterthoughts or rehashes for the most part
also the combo weapons mean less emphasis on finding random shit to use as a weapon, and those things are just reused from the first
there's some stuff like the big purple dildo from the sex shop, but not enough because it's not the point of the game anymore
still a very worthy sequel though

>>383721413
what about 4

>>383721662

you know damn well what 4 is

>>383721662
They renamed psychos and overall made it easier.

2 and OTR are much better than the first one, which is a bit of a nostalgia meme. Ridiculously clunky trying to play it after those.

>>383722167
>2 and OTR are much better than the first one

no

>>383721956
They didn't just rename psychos. They watered them down into normal enemies with combo weapons.

>>383722508
Heard about that but haven't actually played it...for good reason.

>>383721295
2 and OTR are pretty ok too, but not even close to being as great as the first one

Everything else in the series is complete shit

These kinds of series are the things I hate the most in gaming, the type of series that start off with a fantastic one hit wonder and then never get even close again in any of the sequels

>>383722167
The amount of detail and polish put into the first one is amazing, and aside from some clunky controls, has aged very well and still looks great.

Two, although it has better controls, feels like a shitty Canadian repackaging. It's like the devs didnt get what made the first one so good and original.

>>383722818
Your nostalgia doesn't mean shit to me. The second one plays better.
You can run around it with esoteric things you can't qualify all you like, but give someone who's never played the series 1 and 2 and ask them which one they liked more and they'd say 2.

>>383722818
>shitty Canadian repackaging. It's like the devs didnt get what made the first one so good and original
Same problem in 4, but a million times worse.
"Going back to the roots of the series" my ass.
>replace Frank's VA, not even asking the original VA if he wanted to come back to voice Frank (he did and confirmed he was never contacted)
>rename psychos and downgrade them severely into essentially normal enemies with a combo weapon
>still having combo weapons
>that fucking mecha suit
>no time limits on anything
>can't fail missions
>survivors don't need saving, and in fact don't even give you anything good for saving them (all you do is kill a few zombies around them, they drop you a combo weapon and then unload from the game)
>story is the worst by far
>practically no wacky or fun things to pick up and use as weapons, only specific items and usually only as combo weapons
>3 separate inventories so inventory management is a complete non-issue

and >>383722601

I could go on and on.

>>383722601
Haven't played 4, but by the looks of the video,
it looks watered down and casualized.

>Can't pick up chairs, or anything else for that matter.

I remember just holeing myself up in Jill's Sandwhiches by dropping a ton of stuff outside the doorway ie. benches, in infinity mode.

Why take out one of the more unique and identifiable traits of DR?

It's like this
Dead Rising 2 easily has the smoothest Dead Rising gameplay and it's super fun to play. (but it's story is shit)
Dead Rising 1 has the best atmosphere, story, nearly almost everything else. Even the gameplay is fun but you're not wrong when you say it's clunky and I still can't really get the Survivor AI to work with me. But It's still great and has a lot of small details that make playing it in general so fucking satisfying. The story has to be my all-time favorite part about it, it was so fucking well done with how much it kept up the tension at the end.

Everything after 2 is pure fucking garbage after canadians took over.
Fuck Capcom

Because time limits and saving survivors and having to actually survive in a zombie survival game were all too hard for casuals.
The typical case of "appealing to a wider demographic" causing the game to be too watered down, casualized, easy as shit, overall complete shit.

Casualization is shit, they removed damn near everything that made dead rising dead rising

>>383721295
it is, 2 is okay on the merit that is offers multiplayer and was the first to introduce Multiplayer and more general shenanigans.
But 1 is the best in atmosphere, delivery , it really was a complete game and the sequels where way less impactful on the player.

How come no one ever talks about 3?

>>383721657
2 is retarded. Every single time you leave the saferoom you can get

Then depending on luck,, you can find bowie knives, which you can combine with boxing gloves to get knife gloves which shit on everything in the game.

>>383722601
I know it's a cliche to say it by this point but the fact that series regress instead of progress after TEN FUCKING YEARS is so disgusting

>>383725840
because it is utterly forgettable. it's not bad enough to be shat on like 4, but not good enough to recommend or discuss

>>383721295
1: Best story, characters, and psychopaths
2: Good game with alright psychos, introduced vehicles
OTR: Return of the best character and had the best sandbox mode
3: Best controls, introduced more and better vehicles, wrapped up the overall story, but missed a lot of what made the original great

I don't hate 3 like a lot of people, it's a fun game in its own right, but they really dropped the ball on the psychos, survivors, and time limit. It seems like a lot of people have voiced their opinions on those changes though so hopefully if they make a Dead Rising 4 they'll fix it all. I'd also like to know what happened to Frank after Case West. Obviously he's too old to be doing journo and zombie killing now but I hope he's doing something good with his life.

>>383726557

There were cars and motorcyles in 1 you fucking dolt.

>>383723010
>but give someone who's never played the series 1 and 2 and ask them which one they liked more and they'd say 2.
There is nothing worse than a faggot who assumes that liking an older game is automatically attributable to nostalgia. I didn't play any of these games until this year and DR1 is by far my favorite. The hammy story, colorful mall environment, music, pacing and overall design are more fun to me. I guess you just have shit taste.

>>383725840
Because while 3 is bad 4 was even worse

>>383725905
1 had the small chainsaw, granted it did require you to beat a boss and do a slight detour 1 or 2 times to re-acquire them but they still broke the game completely

>>383723632
>Everything after 2 is pure fucking garbage after canadians took over.
The Canadians took over for everything after the first game.

>>383726748
Yeah, and? It required beating probably the hardest psychopath in the game at a lowish level. It also required you to actually know about the 3 books that boost it.

You get handed shit in Dead Rising 2 like fucking candy. The -second- you get access to combo weapons.

Dead Rising 4 is one of those games that makes me go back to a previous entry that wasn't all that spectacular (3, in this case) and made it look like a fucking masterpiece in comparison.

Hell, even the Wii version was better then what they did to 4. I have never wanted a studio to be taken off a project and dissolved as much as Capcom Vancouver after the shit they pulled.

Dead Rising 1 is objectively better than Dead Rising 2 because you only have one savefile at a time and you can't continue after you died/a survivor dies, which makes the game an actual survival horror game where everything counts thanks to the constant ticking of time and you'll often find yourself having to risk missing a survivor in order to go save or pick a weapon.

Everything you said is objectively wrong, how do you fuck up this badly?
If you die in DR1 you just got back to your last save, and in DR2 you couldn't just spawn at a checkpoint, you had to manually save too, the only difference was that you had 3 slots so you could have 3 separate Chuck files as opposed to DR1 where you only had 1 Frank.
Having one save file was one of the biggest complaints about the first DR1 but I don't expect a moron like you to remember the games release.

Yes.
2 is basically the same game as 1 but worse in every way besides survivor AI. OTR is that but with a grating sense of humor that completely misunderstands why the first game was funny.
3 is the zombie musou idiots wanted DR to be, with a horrendously designed city and basically zero challenge, even with the tacked-on nightmare setting.
I haven't played 4 but everything I've heard and seen makes it sound like 3 but even worse, which is baffling to me.

Outside of looking nicer , Knight just didnt click for me.
I loved Asylum and completed most of the Riddler shit in City , but somehow with Knight I just did story stuff to end it.

At least now we can never be disappointed again, DR5's chances of happening are now nil

Just got Dead Rising 3 on the humble bundle. Is it atleast fun? I'm not expecting it to be like 1 or 2 at all after seeing what Dead Rising 4 was like

Y'all niggas need to play DR1 and DR2 back to back. DR2 is an astonishly good facsimile of DR1 given the circumstances under which it was made, it being a game made by an entirely different studio on an entirely different continent with a copycat bespoke game engine, access to none of the previous assets or code, and only intermittent contact with a couple of the producers, including the conman supreme himself. But you can tell it's a copy. You can see it in the physics, the object limit, the truncated mechanics, and the myriad little cut corners and loss of fine detail. Dead Rising 1 was a game built to showcase the merits of MT Framework. It was incredibly scalable by design and basically built from inception to take advantage of 7th Gen hardware. Blue Castle not only had to reinvent the wheel and replicate an excellent game engine with no English documentation, but they also had to replicate DR1's style, gameplay, and assets with no access to the source files AND iterate on them further to justify the sequel. Part of the reason further games strayed further and further from DR1 is because of what a nightmare developing DR2 was.

>>383734539
yes it's worth a playthrough imo
be warned though, it was unoptimized when it came out, it might be better now

>>383734640
>Part of the reason further games strayed further and further from DR1 is because of what a nightmare developing DR2 was.

Given how well received 3 and 4 were I think we can all see they made the right decision.

For real, what's Capcom Vancouver even doing these days? I heard they were thrown into mobile hell.

>removed survivor AI in DR2 and replaced it with godly cannonball survivors with 400 thousand hit points instead of at least trying to make it a more accessible learning curve or something
for me the game is ruined right then and there. i also hate everything about combo weapons but that's more a matter of preference

>>383734539
Yeah it's fun, just don't worry about the romance storyline. It was better than 4 to me because it focuses more on new characters (except for one obvious person, but I won't spoil it for you)

DR1 is superior to it's sequels in the same way ESIII is better than it's siblings: you gotta work for it. The game does not help you to play it. You are presented with this game and it tells you what the gist of the situation is and you are then left to fend almost entirely for yourself in figuring out the rest. You could also sum all that up as "it's not mindless fun."

It's really that simple.

Dead Rising 3 is actually pretty good. It comes down to this:

Remember how the Jump Kick was the best move in Dead Rising 1 and 2? Why was it the best move? Because it allowed you to move while attacking. Not being able to move while attacking makes sense for a game like Monster Hunter, but a game like Dead Rising should be about killing zombies and having fun. So, Dead Rising 3 allows you to move while attacking with EVERY weapon.

The gameplay of Dead Rising 3 is more fun and refined, every weapon is given more than one move, you can automatically throw your weapon or shoot a gun at the nearest zombie by hitting R. There is a combo meter that promotes you going on the most massive killing sprees ever. Some of the combo weapons are so overpowered you can wipe out entire hoards. It's really fun, especially when your character is completely maxed out, you'll basically be running through hoards of zombies, using literally EVERYTHING at your disposal to RIP AND TEAR. You pick up weapons and combine them on the spot to keep the combo going, and when you have nothing left, you quick press R to throw your weapon to keep the kills going.

A lot of people saw the more realistic appearance and were turned off, thinking that Dead Rising 3 was going to be garbage, gritty realistic and casual, and they're not wrong about it being more casual, but it's not like some of the inconvenience of Dead Rising 1 and 2 made the games BETTER. The bad survivor AI didn't make it better, the lack of interesting combat mechanics didn't make it better.

I love Dead Rising 1 and 2 though, don't get me wrong. I am just making a case for Dead Rising 3, which isn't that bad of a game, despite it's PC port and the CO-OP is obviously fun.

Besides combo weapons causing some really questionable balancing changes I think DR1 and DR2 are pretty equal.

>>383721413
2 and off the record are shit, 3 and 4 are terrible.


1 is the only good one.

What's the best song in the series, and why is it Gone Guru?

>>383734640
>mt Framework

Such a fucking underrated engine and seeing it in the best looking 3ds is nothing short of magic. Ironic considering they had it on vita but it runs even worse.

>>383734926
Who knows. Probably making another Dead Rising. They don't do anything else since Capcom bought them.

I guess what I'm saying is that you shouldn't lump ALL the blame on CV for the Dead Rising games after 1. Capcom itself was pretty much the least helpful they could have possibly been in that situation and doomed the franchise to death.

>>383735914
I think the devs thought like this:
>In Dead Rising you can pick up ANYTHING and use it as a weapon
>Okay, but what about useless shit like boxing gloves or teddy bears? once players pick them up, use them once, and find out that palming a 2x4 kills zombies more efficiently, they'll never use them again.
>Guys... I think I have an idea.
Combo weapons were a response to certain items being useless, which is genius.

>>383736130
The best combo weapons made every other item useless in comparison.

>>383735987

The knife gloves are absurdly OP. Not as OP as infinite durability mini chainsaws, but close.

>>383736353
Aw. I miss dead island.

Original 2 is the best.

1 was very good but 2 topped it in every way.

Then frank meme babies cried until they got him in otr which was the same game but worse protag and story

>>383736007
I doubt DR5 will happen. 4 failed to meet expectations and Capcom cited the "more approachable nature" of the game as turning off fans. 3 also did not do well saleswise, and even if they did make 5 it would be the same team that made 4, so I don't have much hope.

>>383735265
Makes it only worse that it was the most marketed thing of DR4

>there are still nostalgia memers who think frank is better than chuck and/or 2 isnt far superior to 1

>>383736685
>worse protag
chuck is dull as hell

Do you think it's possible for them to make an actual Dead Rising game that's just as good as the first one ? Or is the series dead? Have the developers even acknowledged the backlash?

>>383734539
No, it's just a shit game

A lot of people here seem to have changed their opinion on 3 simply because it's not as terrible as 4 ended up being

>>383735959
There's nothing wrong with Off the Record. I can see aspects of 2 that could ruin it for some people though.

>>383721295

How do I play this shit? Do I do the man story? I got fucking rekt by those convicts in the vehicle.

Do I concentrate on leveling up and collecting before doing the missions? Please respond

>>383736749
Capcom is run by morons, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't learn anything from DR3 and 4. I think the problem is that they think since DR2 sold really well that acting the same way they did back then and leaving CV entirely unsupported is the right choice going forward. Which at this point is likely the ONLY choice, since it's been over a decade since DR1 and most of the people that worked on it are long gone, so Capcom itself doesn't have much experience or design insight to offer.

God, what a way to mismanage a franchise.

>>383737227
Probably not. Capcom has stated they're trying to make smaller budget games, and every single thing about DR4 screams low budget. If this is the best they can do low-budget DR, it's hopeless.

And the sales speak for themselves. It's still supposed to come out on PS4 eventually, but word of mouth should kill it there.

>>383737227
>Do you think it's possible for them to make an actual Dead Rising game that's just as good as the first one ?

No

>Or is the series dead?

I think they're gonna try something with it again sooner or later

>>383737361
The game is set up for multiple playthroughs, eventually you'll learn to most convenient way of doing things and where all the good items are.

Also, when it comes to bosses, cheese them as much as possible.

They deflected criticism for a while by saying how proud they were of the game they made.

Eventually they learned to just shut up, and the rest of the season pass DLC was dumped quietly with little push or advertisement on social media.

>>383737227
I feel like Dead Rising should have just been a stand alone game

>>383737815
>that pic

dammmmnnnnnn

Any of you guys watch those crackle Dead Rising movies they made?

I found it funny they couldn't think of a way to work with the zombies being made by wasps so they just made it a generic virus. A big plot point in the first was how the virus could be airborne.

That might be a technical accomplishment. But the creatively bankrupt nature of most of the game killed any appreciation I could have for any of my opinions in the game to have a 'doing their best' mentality. The bosses were all just remix versions of DR1's. The mall's plaza layout was the same including an unfinished wing and a central open air park. There's a shortcut across the mall in a bathroom. There's tunnels connecting everyplace.

>>383741185
That part 50 seconds in sounds like it came from the silver surfer NES game.

>>383741865
Fight me. Frank is compelling as you're still discovering the depths of his character into the endgame of his game.

Chuck stops developing as a character after transitioning from Case Zero. In fact all of Chuck's story is redundant after Case 2-1.

Granted DR2's Revamped Frank is worse than he was in DR1; but they saddled him with the same indifference to his situation as Chuck had.

>Dead Rising is one of the few series /v/ will actually sit down and have serious discussion about with little to no shitposting

who woulda thunk

Is 2 good?

Nope. 2 was the best, followed by 1.
Fuck OTR and /b/tard Frank.

If you don't have it yet then it's in a Humble Bundle right now. You can get 2, OTR, and 3 along with some Resident Evil games for $12.
