What should they do for a new Dead Rising?
Watched some gameplay of the sequels and none of them have the charm of the original. They're incredibly generic especially 3 and 4.I doubt they'll ever be able to replicate the first one.
>>741793036imitate everything about the first game and double down on the shit people hate the most. STRICTER time constraints, NO MOVEMENT when aiming, easily missable npcs that only show up in specific areas at specific times, unlockable content like the mega blaster, NO OPEN WORLD AT ALL. and go back to the bioterrorist government conspiracy story and themes. make bosses difficult as fuck, and design the game around being played multiple times. specific areas for saving, health status effects if you don’t eat, wrestling moves as special attacks, and last but not least, sexy ass zombie bitches and femme fatale psychos
>>741793261This. DR is one of those series where I loved the first game but had absolutely no interest in playing the rest of the series.
they already ruined the franchise with the sequels and ruined it even more with the demakethey should just let it rest
>>741793036>What should they do for a new Dead Rising?They shouldn't do a new Dead Rising and I say this even though DR1 is one of my favourite games.
>>741793036Don't use a garbage engine le RE engine or Unreal engineHire actual talented people instead of the retards they keep outsourcing it toAnd just don't go out of your way to make it god awful in generalIt's so easy a kid could do it but somehow they keep fucking that up
>>741793036the first was perfect in everything it set out to do and instead of building onto that, they chipped away everything that made it special little by little. You unironically can’t make a game like the first DR ever again and maybe that is for the best
>>7417932612 is a good game tho
>>741793036Make it so when you stay up all night trading off turns with your buddies to unlock a weapon your friend's Mexican mom can't pick up the Xbox in the morning to vaccum under it and destroy the disc.
DR1 was a masterpiece because of it's constraints, not in spite of them. The survivors were retarded when you were leading them, the controls were clunky as shit, the timer was tight and objectives dense if you wanted to save everyone, etc etc etc. The plotline wasn't anything revolutionary but it was competent and delivered with enough dramatic flare to work. The locale was great too.DR2 felt like it was lacking in the horror themes entirely. The combo weapons were far too powerful, and the shift from using anything on-hand to killing massive hordes with combo weapons changed the whole feel of the game.Frank was also just a much more enjoyable character, at least before they gutted him in 4. OTR was a lot of fun to me.I don't fucking know. Shrink the map, make the day/night cycle feel more impactful. Introduce the super zombies on like, day 2 for added challenge. Frank is probably unsalvageable as a character this time so use someone new, but fuck's sake don't make him insufferable PLEASE. He doesn't have to be an ultra badass, but don't make him a pussy like Nick either.I think the writing has already done as many conspiracies as they can reasonably fit in - the government itself is starting the outbreaks at this point. It doesn't have to be at a grand scale, narrow the scope of the story to be about one person trying to do the right thing or whatever.
>>7417939712’s biggest drawback was how cartoony it was. first one was obviously stylized but kept realism to the point that it still holds up today 20 years later (the remake somehow looks worse lol) but 2, 2 is so fucking cartoony. everything “grimdark” about the first game got turned into a joke
>>741794001kek, the 360 was such a trashy piece of hardware
Dead Rising but in a colossal cruise shipYour welcome Capcom
>>741793971no
>>741793398I agree with everything except>easily missable npcs that only show up in specific areas at specific times
>>741793398>flop your game to cater to my autistic tastes!!!Retard
Dead rising 2 has the best mall music so you guys are fags
>>741794540sorry dude but uhhh around here we actually like to play video games.
>>741794260This is actually a pretty good idea
>>741794540videos games should go back to being made by autists for autists
>>741793780This. Not only do Capcom and the slop mills they let develop Dead Rising games not understand the appeal of Dead Rising, modern gamers don't either. They don't deserve it. Let it die.
>>741793036Dead Rising was a passion project. It has soul. Unless they bring back Kenji Inafune and development is done in Japan, it's going to suck.
>>741793036They should take a look at Dead Rising 1 and mostly ignore what came after.
>>741793036Make it set in a knock-off Disneyland or something like that. Though I don't think modem Capcom can make a Dead Rising game. Especially with that "remaster" of the first one they put out. If they're too scared to offend and are removing and censoring things that shouldn't have been. then might as well fridge the series till they get the balls to make a good one.
>>741793398People that argue DR3 was open-world are retarded. It’s really not much different to the malls.>But the mall starts off shuttered!Yes and so does the city. In both cases they open up a bit later.
>>741793971DR2 made a lot of compromises compared to DR1. The time limit was so loose it basically didn’t exist, and survivors could walk through hordes of zombies and only rarely get grabbed. Survivors were much tankier too.DR1 was very focused and rewarded knowledge. They basically wanted you to have a fucked up first run where a lot of survivors leave or die, and you possibly miss story beats. Then you go in on the second run with more knowledge and more stats and you actually finish. The later games basically threw the timer out and instead of planning a route and then executing it, you were free to bumble around, lollygag and still win.
