What I love the most about Dead Rising is how it captured that mid-2000s mall vibe ever so perfectly.

[@slack3021]

What i love most is that we have a protagonist that has covered wars. Idk what we would do in a world without that!

[@j.c.m.7407]

I think my favorite psychopath in this game is Cliff. He’s not just a guy who broke when the zombies came about, he was a veteran granddad who lost his family and grandchild. He only snapped out of his PTSD just as he bleeds out, and even Frank actually seems sorry for him.

[@ButtshotJenkins]

Steve Blum did an amazing voice acting job on him too!

[@JeanneHamada]

Also worth noting, Cliff is also the only one that snapped out of his insanity. The others are either too far gone like Adam or just borderline don't care like the butcher guy

[@CandidaRosa889]

One thing I noticed is that some people are disappointed about the amount of zombies on screen when they first play this game but the map slowly gets more populated with zombies over time. Paradise Plaza in the first day of the game is almost empty but by the end its really difficult to get survivors in.

[@KnightOfNewColu]

Played this game for almost 20 years since it’s been out and completely did not think about that. Need to play it again :)

[@audiosurfarchive]

I absolutely love that aspect of the design/difficulty--the physicality and tangibility of the time progression. From the first night revealing Queens; the appearance of Raincoat Cultists; steady increase of zombie density.. it's such an underappreciated element of DR1 brilliance.

[@mikedawolf95]

I never noticed that. I guess since you open the mall up through the game, zombies pour in more. Also psychos and survivors seem to also open up the mall more.

[@Mentelgen-1337]

who the hell was disappointed at the zombie size? even at the beginning they are still annoying cunts to deal with.

[@some-replies]

The little hallway to the security room gets dangerous at the end. Starts with 2 or 3 zombies and the final run back it was packed.

[@SwaggyG_2102]

Even 17 years later, Dead Rising still remains one of THE best zombie games out there.

[@theotv5522]

I love it but sometimes I just wish it doesn't have that timer countdown. Because even though some might say you have plenty of time to do whatever before it runs out, seeing that clock constantly ticking down mentally hasten you to finish whatever you wanna do. It turns "I can take my time and enjoy this" to "I need to finish this quickly and efficiently".

[@RecountDaFox1]

Yeah because that's how Zombies would work irl

[@Drew_2152]

​@theotv5522 true but a player could do one genuine story run with a small mix of survivors and psychos and then focus the next playthrough with leveling up Frank and only doing survivors and psychos. I've only beaten Dead Rising 1 and that was like 2 days ago recent but I dont think the game restarts if you miss a case like Dead Rising 2. If you miss a case I think you can just continue the game without the main story.

[@mcbdllc2848]

"I've covered wars, you know."

[@McKraber]

Capcom struck gold with their take on western society dealing with tragedy. How the rise of shopping malls (more specifically the Mall of America which I think this is based on) we’re shopping and coping mechanisms for many consuming Americans, which is what Carlito points out as well before his death.

[@brandonmorel2658]

I would like to add that for a Japanese game from the 2000s, Dead Rising has very insightful commentary about the horrors which capitalism-imperialism subjects it's victims, the goals it has and the violent reaction which emerges from the abuses committed. The game is basically telling how Amerikan military and financial intervention against Third World Countries creates terrorist threats for that nation. The whole game is imbued with 9/11 angst and the role the US had in creating it's own catastrophe. This process is shown in the game's narrative by it telling how Barnaby's cow research in Pachamama lead to it's intervention and genocide, and consequently the Willamette zombie incident.

[@gokufireguy9585]

I think one through three were solid honestly, the first dead rising definitely has a more horror and grounded feeling then any of the others. Each game kind of has its own personality while still staying somewhat similar to the formula.

What do you think about dead island?

[@M0D776]

@@happylittlemountains3724 Not the OP, but to me, Dead Island is like a flanderized Dead Rising, it takes the serious parts and goofy parts of DR and amps them up to the stars, like, the story takes itself very seriously, but the gameplay has you do some of the goofiest weapon combos ever against some pretty insane zombies, I love that darn game so much.

[@HankJWimbleton-v1m]

​@@dimlightbulb10 Dead Rising 3 isn't really a bad game per se, just not a good Dead Rising game. Honestly, if Capcom ever wanted to create Dead Rising 5, they should retcon the events of Dead Rising 4 into a nightmare that Frank is having after the first game. A new Dead Rising game should have a completely new protagonist, a self-contained story, and bring back elements from the previous games, including the time limit management, escorting survivors, and psychopath boss fights.

I loved dead rising 1-2 and even 3. The only thing I didn’t like in the entire thing was the time restraint, it always got my anxiety up trying to get all survivors while not trying to miss a main mission by dawdling around. But then again, my own fault for not checking the time or having better weapons

[@brandonmorel2658]

Dead Rising 1 is the best game I would never recommend someone play. It's amazing soundtrack, crazy-insaneo characters, nuanced story and Japanese arcade beat-em-up charm are couple with sadistic difficulty and obtuse AI which bring down the whole experience. I was reminded of STALKER the whole time I played it; the bugs and the obtuse gameplay make the gameplay worse objectively but elevate it to masterpiece by virtue of it all being so memorable and off beat. 10/10: it made appreciate the timer mechanic in games.

Loved Dead Rising and 2. I still keep a 360 around just so I can play DR in its original form

[@Rexxie44]

I always enjoyed how the zombies were more of a threat in the first one. You either destroy the head or collateral them. Body shots were largely useless. On top of that, you have to stand completely still upon shooting. Adds this essence of tension. As for the sequel, every gun kills a zombie in a single shot, irrelevant to where you shoot them. It leaned a bit too much into the goofy murder time funtime factor. There was no tension outside of bosses. Imo, DR2:OTR is prolly as good as a sequel we will get to DR1. Which isn't saying heavily much.

[@Vampire_EGirl]

that burp at the beginning caught me off guard and i laughed my ass off

YES! New Joshi video! Glad to see you cover Dead Rising. The editing was on point with some fun visual gags. Great work man, your editing has only gotten better with each video. Though it is quite interesting that this game unlike the sequels is the only one where you can freely choose to either: engage with the campaign or play freely in a sandbox.

It was only a few months ago when I revisited this gem of a game. I had an Xbox 360 copy and a save with the laser sword on said 360 (yes I did spend 10 hours of my life mostly watching Frank huddled over a pile of food that he had to eat from periodically), but it didn’t work on the XBONE because… Microsoft, I guess. Anyway, I was so mad because I wanted a way to get a good gameplay recording of me having the laser sword and my only means was with the XBONE. I was so mad in fact, that I bought a month of game pass for $1 so I could play the XBONE Dead Rising, beat the game while saving all survivors and getting the zombie genocider achievement in one go, then proceeded to watch Frank eat for 10 hours again just so I could get a single clip of me having the laser sword in my hand to send to one friend… and let me tell you… it was all worth it.

[@RWAY-hm8gj]

Personally, I preferred Dead Rising 2 for the setting change and the QoL improvements (wasn't a fan of OTR), but Dead Rising 1 set the standards with that delightful mid-aughts console jank and unmatched cultural sensibility. It's the first game I can think of that felt like a God-to-honest zombie sandbox power fantasy that really lets you do whatever you want in a familiar setting. And Frank in DR1 comes off like an authentically dumb, boorish Ameriburger in a way that feels organic and charming, but every subsequent iteration turned him into Meme Man™. Just like the death of the American mall, DR1 can't be replicated or remade without it feeling contrived.

People probably gonna hate on me for this, but I don't like the timer in Dead Rising. I love the gameplay and just exploring the mall to find stores with weapons, outfits, upgrades, etc. I understand it's to have to tie into the story and have a sense of urgency, but the timer being so strict really put a damper on my experience, since I wanted to do the story and side content. I wish there was a sandbox mode like Dead Rising 2 OTR has for the first game. Also Dead Rising 2 co-op was insanely fun in general.
