Dead Rising 4 (Win 10 only it seems!)

Kainz said:
Dead Rising 1 & 2 were brilliant. Played both over a dozen times on the 360. DR3 I couldn't even run on my PC - a 5ghz i7 with a R9 290 on it. It ran at sub 20fps and was almost as bad as GTAIV so I never got far in it to judge it.

Doubt I'll bother with 4 really...as it'll be more of the same. However State of Decay 2 - YES PLEASE! The first game was brilliant and one of the best survival zombeh games I'd played alongside DR.

Think you will change your mind as DR4 is rumoured to be DR1 remastered & expanded with brand new gfx/game engine (same as DR3) set in the same shopping mall location as DR1 but at xmas time so lots of crazy zombie black Friday chaos ;)
 
Played them all but DR1 was the best for sure. DR3 run like crap on my machine, framerates would plummet massively and randomly. I persevered and finished it though. Some of the weapons combos were cool and ridiculous.

As much as I do love Frank West (he's reported wars you know) I just wonder how much fun it'll be the fourth time around slashing zombehs with a katana whilst you're wearing suspenders and stockings whilst plonking traffic cones on the infected yet again.

That shopping mall in DR1 was brilliant though and the bosses were amongst the best I'd seen in any title. I mean who could forget Steven, the mental store manager?! I hope it'll be good but I don't really trust Capcom for optimisation in their games.
 
It's the co-op that will make it. DR2 was fun, but the setting didn't have the sandbox greatness of the mall. I'm really hoping this is a good port.
 
I would love a straight up PC remaster of DR1.

The trouble is, I wouldn't want anything to change beyond the graphics/framerate, and I'm not sure many would sign up for that.

I've not played the sequels, in part because the first was just so perfect.

DR2 is well worth checking out. It's like the original and you can play it with a friend. I had great fun plowing through zombies with a massive sun shader while by mate ran behind hacking everything to bits :D

I might. Is it better to go for DR2 or the Off the Record one, with Frank West?

Opposite for me... I love the mall (or casino in DR2). The city just.. lost that charm. The barriers in the roads when driving didn't help!

I do agree that the malls had great character but not enough to build a series around. I think they branched out into a full blown city with 3 simply because zombie apocalypses really shine in them, as you see the chaos it caused on a much bigger scale.
 
Comes out on Win 10 Store only for now 6th December. MS removed from the Play Anywhere titles list as its probably but not confirmed as coming to Steam at some time after the 90 day exclusivity to Win 10 expires. This means it will only appear on the Win 10 store on 6th December they do not usually do preloads for non Play Anywhere titles (its 50GB on PC).

As the entire game is set around the xmas-holiday period its probably highly unlikely Capcom release such a xmas themed game until late 2017 when it will also launch on PS4 so sadly it looks like you either have to buy on the terrible Win 10 store or wait until its announced on Steam.

£66 as well for the full game with season pass! At least MS do a hassle free refund though if the game is rubbish.
 
Really tempted with this, but the price is steep. I also cant seem it on my windows store yet.....which is a good thing in the sense that I cant click that pre-order button!:D

MS removed it from the Play Anywhere title list (as its no longer exclusive to MS platforms) which also removed it from the Windows Store so that means it will not appear on there until launch day...no 50GB preload for the PC peasants as the fully (un) featured!! Win 10 store does not even support preloading unless its a Play Anywhere title.

Also several US XB1 players got the disc version early the reports are not positive:

Timer removed (this was already known about) takes a lot of tension away.
Boss intros removed it now treats all bosses like any regular zombie you just fight them without any context like the previous games gave you amusing video intros.
Regenerating health (this was also known about but it once again removes any tension its hard to ever get killed now).
Easier than ever to lvl up & capped @ lvl 80.

Overall the impression they report is the game has been dumbed down for casual players but those steps have also removed a lot of the series gameplay mechanics & made it seem like a very pretty but shallow game for casual younger players.

Not sure its worth risking £49.99 or £65.99 for that (half of the DLC is a 4 player co-op golf course you use weapons to shoot the ball around the course!). At least MS do a hassle free refund though if you buy & do not like even if its several days later they still refund without question most of the time even if you have completed the game ;)

Capcom really sold out here as most players who are fans of the series would probably like to play on Win 7 + Steam but must either wait 90 days or even longer (Dead Rising 3 took 10 months to arrive after XB1 release) as its hard to imagine they would release a Steam version in the spring\summer of a snowbound xmas themed game :(
 
Cheers for clearing that up.

I love the DR series, but the price is steep. I am also not a great fan of the windows store. The primary issue I have is that unlike steam/origin/uplay (please correct me if I am wrong....and I hope I am!) when you reinstall your OS it is impossible to get windows store to point to the data on whatever drive you have it and play right away.

I have just completed a reinstall, and now I am faced with downloading GOW4 again at around 75gb. Shocking.

I hate the Win 10 store as its rubbish but your wrong about moving data you can just copy paste the folder contents as they are 256bit encrypted to your username when you download so its all self contained.

I read that this is a 90 day times exclusive, not sure if that means console or not, either way while wait an see of it hits steam or not
