Is this a good game?

I remember playing the one from the GwG but it had a shitty time mechanic so you couldn't just run around killing zombies. Maybe you could but i was never invested enough to look.

Si

>but it had a shitty time mechanic so you couldn't just run around killing zombies

t. why the series was ruined

>>387491308
I'd say so. The only frustrating thing I remember is the survivor AI and maybe the final boss, but other than that, I had a great time.

Yes, for multiple reasons. Good first year title for 360, interesting story in both plot and delivery, lots of care put into the world, truly unique experience.

>>387491308
well...

Fucking this. The game was made to be replayed, it's why Frank's levels carry over.
>>387491308
It's great.

Best of the series

how's the steam port? it's on sale

>a shitty time mechanic so you couldn't just run around killing zombies
YOU FUCKING COULD WHEN YOU RESTARTED THE GAME. KILL YOURSELF DR4FAG.

>>387491308
It's faaaantastic

>>387493592
It's a good port.

>entire game is timed underwater escort missions with stealth
>it's still good

GAVE AWAY MY POSSESSIONS AND MOVED INTO A CHEVY

>>387491308
A perfect 8.5/10 for me.

Grrat game, lots of shit to find that you can easily miss on your first playthrough. And the bosses can be unsettling as fuck.

>>387493592
Capcom ports are never bad.

>>387493718
It's like RE4. They control awkwardly, but they feel rewarding once you master them and they're fun.

What went so right?

Because escort missions can be good when they arent used just as filler like in many cases (Dragon's Dogma for example).

DR forces you to be good at making decisions.

>>387491506
You get three days to run around killing zombies you fag, just ignore the story.

Objectively the best Dead Rising, anyone who says otherwise is a retard.

The real question is how is the PS4 port

This guy has one of the development prototypes and does videos with them. It's interesting if you want a look into DR1's history.

Very good (I've only played DR1 and DROTR on the PS4). Capcom makes good ports.

>>387493874
Using Celldweller songs, I guess.

>>387494052
It's prone to crashing, unfortunately. Solid port otherwise.

This game was one of my favorites on the 360.

The game gets very interesting and makes some political statements, it's such a shame that you can't discuss it without someone screeching it's a dawn of the dead rip off.

The series really had something going for it, it's a shame Dead Rising 4 acts as a soft reboot and completely changes Frank Wests character and motivations.

Even the psychopaths were extreme representations of people the mall cop with to much power, the retail worker who broke down and had to keep the store clean to stay sane, the PTSD suffering hardware war vet.

It was just a fucking good game, I'm going to go boot up my 360 and start it again thank you /v/ for reminding me

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

The problem was that Capcom Vancouver didn't understand this and though psychopaths were meant to be over-the-top sexual/violent "funny" bad guys.

i wish we had a dawn of the dead game
