Dead Rising 4 is nothing like Dead Rising

Dead Rising 4 is the misconception that killing zombies was the unique draw of Dead Rising. This video shows what Capcom Vancouver has to say about Frank West, time limit, psychopaths, survivors and other important aspects of the game. "We're back to our roots".

I don't ever remember Frank being funny

[@ArkOfDarkness]

"So why did you decide to change Frank's Voice Actor?"

[@AwfulWaffle8474]

>we did a lot of research

[@beetheimmortal]

The fact that you can literally become a Psycho yourself in DR1 is so brilliant. You can literally kill any character and completely destroy the story, go mad like the Psychos.

"Before you'd help a survivor and they'd go 'thanks' and just take off. That wasn't worth it."

"we did a lot of testing"

"kept the core of dead rising"

[@cauliflowerconnoisseur2710]

The first dead rising it was fucking amazing. It had character. Escorting survivors at night was horrifying. Hearing the zombies and only seeing their red eyes was chilling. Fighting psychopaths was tense but so depressing in the end once you learnt what set them off. Adam the Clown seeing an audience full of kids be killed by zombies so he now keeps the space ride going just to keep dead kids safe. The Vietnam vet who sees his granddaughter killed and loses it. This is what made the first one so great. Frank wasn't a sarcastic idiot acting like a 14 year old rebellious teen. He was focused, he was serious. We made him do the dumb shit. We made him wear a dress and skateboard around a mall. That wasn't the way he acted normally. I do not know what the fuck they were thinking with this game but it has none of the heart, none of the charm of the original. I hope to god there is a Dead Rising 5 just to wash this shit out of our mouths.

This video inspired me to replay Dead Rising 1, Frank doesn’t make A SINGLE FUCKING JOKE the whole game. I’ve never seen a more fundamental misunderstanding of a character from a dev team ever.

[@krustykrabpizza00]

The reason everyone liked Frank is because he took everything seriously and you the player can make him do stupid things

[@ogfloatzel4025]

"Frank is such an amazing character and is so awesome."

[@itsfine5818]

"Dead rising is known for killing tons and tons of zombies"

I like how their strategy is staying so far away from replayability, and that they pretty much use that anti replayability as a

Frank maturing in the devs minds:

[@coolkatmehrfth]

Anyone ever notice how whenever a game’s marketing strategy is like an edgy “Fuck you our game is bad ass!”, the game always fails.

[@loganmallette3133]

Dead Rising 1 wrote Frank's character extremely well, and you could see the progression as the story went on. The best example of this IMO is his encounter with Kent, the rival photographer. Kent's character was similar to Frank's in the sense that he was cocky, arrogant, and also looking for the scoop of a lifetime, but Kent was willing to go over the top to achieve his goals. So much so that he kidnaps Tad to zombify him on camera just so he can get his shots, but Frank stops him. Frank realizes at this point in the story that getting his scoop isn't as important as saving innocent people and getting them out of Willamette. It's honestly great storytelling and character growth. It's why I can't forgive the developers for what they did to Frank. It isn't even him at this point.

[@docchoc2407]

dev personality: "Its just like dead rising 1"

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

"People don't want to play it again", if you have to say this you have failed as a game designer.

[@stevenolson1295]

Dude when they were describing frank by cursing nonstop was the equivalent of the "hello fellow kids" meme.
