Dead Rising 4 (Win 10 only it seems!)

Judging by the comments from Capcom below I get the impression this game is being dumped with minimal QA to make the release date the day 1 crash on 1st launch is pretty shocking as is the no preorder or any other way to buy on PC until release day and the day 1 DLC pre-order bonus is not even downloadable at all :rolleyes: seems like Capcom went back to the bad old days of unwanted PC ports on this game :eek:

90 days is Windows PC exclusive to Win 10 store then Capcom can port to Steam if they want to. But the entire game is set @ xmas in snowbound festive scenes not sure they will launch that after 90 days as DR3 took 10 months to come to Steam after being exclusive to Win 10.

This is silly of course as no way will this game sell anymore XB1 consoles by being exclusive for 90 days to PC & 1 year on console :rolleyes:
 
Out now on the UK Win 10 Store App. Prices have been adjusted downward as well. £39.99 for the std version & £54.99 for the Deluxe edition with Season Pass. £16 for the Season pass on its own to upgrade the std edition (season pass content is out next year though).
 
Took a chance on this as the price dropped to £39.99 & have to say its a brilliant game. Starts off slowly but once you get into it a very good DR game better than DR3 & looks about the same but the sense of humour & xmas setting is really used well here. Also quite a large game with mainly outdoor large open world sprawling levels. Its probably the best game in the series just a shame its tied to Win 10 for now but works pretty well although needs some serious high end hardware for decent smooth FPS.

Uses Denuvo as well as Win 10 Store which is I guess why not many have bought on PC yet!

I buckled as well and bought it. Havent had a lot of play time yet because the Windows store was playing silly ******* with the download for me. Stop, start, reset, rinse, repeat. Eventually it came through.

I am also enjoying it. I just bought the bog standard version and I will see later if the season pass seems worth it.

It gets better the longer you play. But it starts shockingly poorly as FPS are low until you upgrade Frank a little then it suddenly behaves as it should but until then its stuttering in many places with basic graphics as well!

I estimate it will take around 75-100 hours to fully complete excluding the MP mode so much content & side quests-collectibles.

Some of the weapons are both amazing & wonderful ;)
(Gandalf staff which fires mini Gandalf grenades or the magic wand which turns zombies into cute gingerbread men & xmas parcels)
so many weapons as well & bizarre combos to create or discover :eek:

If this had been launched on Steam it would have sold very strongly in the next few weeks due to the xmas theme, snowbound setting & quality of the gameplay but unless your a fan of the DR series I do not think its going to win any new fans as its just more of the same but different, unusual & wacky :D

Going to have a decent go this weekend, and I will test the performance then.

What GPU do you use AWPC?

I have a couple of 980s, but I am unsure if SLI is utilized in the game at all.

It'll be W10 store rather than Denuvo

People just don't go to the Windows Store to buy games, everytime we hear comment on sales they're shocking.

KFA2 GTX1080 HOF game still lags badly early on then once I upgrade Frank all the microstuttering magically went away!

It uses Denvuo as well apparently. I agree Win 10 store was shocking but it at least works better now you can download reliably and its the only way to ever own certain games so cheaper than buying a console! MS still do a no hassle refund process as well even if you played the game for a few weeks.
 
Buyer beware!

Just got a full refund from MS. At least that's fast to do only took 2 min's online. Game is not ready to be sold yet. So many game breaking bugs QA is obviously user tested now :rolleyes:

Doors stay locked you need to progress through
Safe Houses lose all survivors (that's 8-10 hours progress lost right there)
Sub missions have no content so are not possible to do
Zombies spawn all over the place in walls, cars, buildings etc etc some are not possible to kill yet you must to get the required number of survivors in your safe house to progress your stats & upgrades :eek:

Game is in a shocking state until you start to tackle the story missions its not apparent but one you start to sink time into it the problems become obvious.

Oh well lets see when or if it appears on Steam with some hefty patching I hope!
 
I just bought Dead Rising 4 on the Steam platform via Kinguin for £27.
I'm not sure how long the offers on for but it's not a bad price.

I only get a game on the store that I can't get elsewhere, For example I have Gears of War 1 & 4 via the store,

However games I know are going to release on Steam at a later date I wait for.

Also, the price of games is terrible especially if you can't get a discounted legal key from anywhere.

All the big W10 store releases seem to be in the 70 or 80 quid region all in which is a sure way to bankrupt myself :(
