DEAD RISING's Evolution Of Characters (During Development)

[@PinkFloydBootlegs]

5 months in the making. He's back.

[@Kiteboxing]

Mr. Willabee sounds like it'd be the name of the bee in the Entrance Plaza.

[@STiP0]

You'd be right!

[@ohnoitschris]

...damn! Good thinking. Willamette + Bee = Willabee

[@mr.iiconic]

I nicknamed him Willy Mette

[@zombiegamer5762]

Kiteboxing i think Mr.Willabee was going to be used as a psychopath character

[@tuttiman55]

@@STiP0 do a vid on dr 3 because I don’t think you realize the games upsides when you said dr4 followed in its footsteps in the uncertain future of deadrising

[@maxberry4409]

Dude. Im so glad people are still interested in this game. Ive been playing it for years and im still learning about it from you through all this time. Thank You!

[@CLawManGameplaychannell]

Sad that there are still no Dead Rising 5 yet.

[@maxberry4409]

@@CLawManGameplaychannell They can come back from 4. Ruined game = basically ruined franchise

[@CLawManGameplaychannell]

@@maxberry4409 I am still hoping that if they release the 5th one then maybe that would be like 2 or 3. Actually good...

[@mr.iiconic]

@WoomyBlitz do we have to entirely remake 3? It was a serviceable game imo

[@mr.iiconic]

@WoomyBlitz it's not like dead rising has ever had very good characters anyway, so I don't see why that had bothered you. Do you really think that would matter when the legendary first game had such great "personalities" as Brad? The only interesting characters in Dead Rising other than Frank were the Keyes siblings. Dead Rising 2's only good supporting character was Rebecca Chang. I agree on everything else except for the area block (that's just standard game design) and the psychopaths being bad. Some of them sucked, some of them didn't. Hit and miss if you ask me.

[@tom_k_cook]

I'll never understand how Dead Rising went from being that one awesome zombie game I played as a tween to being a massive mystery of development and past ideas dropped in it's history and mysterious plotlines we've never got to experience, but would have loved to.

[@Ghenry]

It seems like when it came to the actual characters in the game (Jessie, Isabella, etc.), they got touched up to appear more realistic with closer attention to facial details. What's interesting, though, is that they were able to maintain the charm and style they were going for with those significant changes. Isabella probably being the best example. I like her earliest model you showed us, but the final one still shows the appeal of her design. Unlike other developers, they didn't let this push for realism get in the way of their vision. God, I miss this so much.

[@genericwhitekidthesecond4330]

Yeah. Alot of good games with a unique art style ended up canning the artstyle because of them trying to capitalize of modern graphical capabilities. Half-Life 2 was an egregious example. In it's earliest iteration the game was closely following the artstyle of HL1 during the 1999-2002 time period but ended up fazing out unique concepts like gas masks citizens so players could actually see their facial animations or the whole bit of a cartoonish landscape or dark skies so they could have realistic textures applied.

[@guitarlaughing]

Jessie is VERY “realistic”. I cant help but stare at her “realisms” ingame.

[@silashurd3597]

@@guitarlaughingwell she’s about to get a lot more realistic in 2 months 😏

[@joaopedrocamelo3866]

i love when people discuss about the characters that are not the protagonists. specially the psychopaths.

[@ohnoitschris]

Something else I've wondered is if Dead Rising models were ever found in other Capcom games. Since DR might have been Capcom's first HD game to just have a whole lot of normal human models, which would work well as placeholders for so many projects.

[@JmanRising]

19:50 EM53 is a recycled character model from the game Shadow of Rome, his name is Sextus. Great game if you haven’t played it already, made by the same developers.

[@mikenash6124]

Fun fact: Dead Rising was supposed to be Shadow of Rome 2.

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

​@@mikenash6124 in a better timeline Frank West is a Roman legate named Franchus Fantasticos

[@bananabuns1369]

the oldest carlito looks like he would be in gta vice city

[@KaibaSeto.]

And show them you got big cojones!

[@chickenzzzzzzzzz]

Hey stipo, don't know if you knew this, I certainly didn't until it accidentally happened in game. If you front kick a wine cask or a barrel (like the ones ontop of the shelves in the elevator room) Frank will curse and act like he stubbed his toe. Been playing the game a very long time and never knew that happened.

[@STiP0]

one of the fine details of the game for sure

[@zuperspicy]

After seeing that footage of Brett or Kent at the time in the tgs demo you show, its interesting to see how in the final game no survivor is ever to be rescued from the super market in the north plaza

I have so much respect for you, man. I love how you still talk about my favorite game of all time. Thanks so much for bringing me and many others joy!

[@JetpacksWasYes2]

I was literally just looking at your channel yesterday showing my brother how much DR content your channel has because we were playing through DR1. and I was even hoping a new video was coming! Immediately clicked when I got the notification. Crazy how you're still going, love all of the content please keep it up!

[@MrMario2011]

Excellent video, dude.

[@phoeni3902]

i wonder if anyone who ever worked on these original textures and models will ever see this video, it must be kinda nice for them to see their work appreciated years later

[@youtubecommenter7389]

The Tracksuit guy might be Paul considering his hair is long and black

[@magapiff1]

he kinda reminds me of Brandon from the next game

[@JmanRising]

Its Sextus from the game Shadow of Rome

[@captinkinty]

the track suit falls in line with paul’s tactics being running away from you, honestly the release model of paul fits more tho

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

His hair and face kinda look like Carlito to me

[@GeneralMonty]

After thinking on it, you're one of the reasons I finally got around to getting 100% completion in DR1. Such a fun game with a very interesting development history.

[@stormichow5325]

16:12 Rest in peace, my man.

[@Andy-mc6yx]

Glad to see you back

[@doctorqrow3452]

Never thought I'd see you again. KZbin needs to get its shit together recommending this to me this late.

[@yarr_bro]

STiP0, I just want to thank you for covering this series so in depth, but thank you for focusing on DR1! I was 7 when the game launched, but it STILL has this ominous, dark, and depressing tone to it that really grounds you in the situation. Thanks for showing your love for the series and providing a safe community for others to do the same :)

[@Sumatto]

God I love your videos so much

[@wilsonfredrick2812]

EM53 kind of looks like an early version of a future psychopath known as Brandon Whittaker from dead rising 2 to me.

[@dylan9784]

thank you for uploading this was a game my dad and i bonded over, funny enough i only had the wii version until we saw how much better it was on the 360, i came home to an xbox and we played all night this game deserves praise for years to come

[@theicelander06]

This game is brutally underrated. It’s KZbinrs like you that make the game alive again. Thank you Stipo.

[@Archangel96]

oh my god our frank west has came back STiP0 is back oh god Dead Rising will never be the same again!!!!

[@toaryanonicle2877]

18:29- Old Brock looks like Michael Keaton! XDXDXD

[@gregwilliams4926]

3:42 No way, I didn't know that was Kay Nelson in the security cam footage! She dies and then gets tied up by Jo the next day?

I'm really pleased that you're still making content for this game. I gotta say, your presentation and format has gotten a lot better. Keep up the good work, and thanks for keeping one of my favorite games alive ❤

[@8TeyTSL]

also, faces were stolen from actors for several models, both of brock's faces being from ed harris(with scars added), kay uses lindsay lohan's face and cliff uses michael rooker's face, always thought it was funny that capcom didn't get in trouble for this

[@ivratsdargy955]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Bill/Wayne/Ronald's model seems to be based on Jason Alexander

[@chocolatechip6672]

I think the unused name Mr. Willabee was supposed to be for a psychopath dressed as a mascot based on the bee statue at the front of the mall. It was probably scrapped but then brought to the second game and turned into the psychopath Slappy.

[@FuturamaFan2010]

Glad to see you back and doing a much longer format, really interesting. I wonder if EM53 was related to Paul? He looks like a young man with long unkempt hair and if he was meant to be psychopath maybe that's who it is.

Something this video shows regarding the details is that with other games, I normally see older models and think, "oh, I kinda like those more than the ones at release." But I don't feel that here since Capcom just kept upgrading them so much that all the final versions are way better than the beta ones

For the 2nd unused psychopath, I think it looks similar to Brandon, or that deranged CURE member from the 2nd game with the shard of glass. Maybe he was meant to be in the first game, but moved on to 2 because the first game already had enough content? Idk either.

[@bloodycherri2798]
