Oh user! You're still alive. Listen, there's a guy here who wants to DEAD RISING THREAD...

>"Can you really explain why you removed the time limit?"

>JS: I wasn't involved in the decision, but talking to people at shows (PAX, Gamescom) the majority of people who ask about time limits are happy that they're gone. Even people who played the game from day 1 were glad to see it go. Definitely there's support for time limits, but I'd say the vast majority of the people I've talked to face-to-face are glad they're gone.

>JE: It just didn't work with an open world. Mainly it's difficult to expect people to try to find all the collectibles or explore when they're under a time pressure.

I want the open-world meme to die.

>"As someone who is a huge fan of the original Dead Rising and almost as big of a fan of Dead Rising 2 and Off The Record I am severely dissapointed to hear that the timer has been removed and survivors are no longer to be escorted to a safe area. Is there a possibility of these features being added in at a later date? As some kind of extra 'challenge' mode of some sort?"

>JE: No the game isn't built with those challenges in mind so it wouldn't work.

>TLA: Multiplayer has challenges that reflect some of those systems.

Multiplayer is there for you, Cred Forums.

What's a good spot to stop doing the story cases on a saint run?

yeah fuck it
I'm stealing dr4.

>Will there be any collaboration with music artists? I loved Celldweller in Dead Rising 2/OTR

>JS: I tried to get Oleska here he's our in-house composer and he's been with the series since Dead Rising 2. But he was too busy doing music for this game called Dead Rising 4.

>TLA: There's lots of Christmas themed tunes, you'll get to sing along with or without Frank.

>JS: Confirmed we're working with U2. (NOT TRUE). I don't think we've got any collaborations to announce.

Confirmed for failing to understand the series charm.

Brett, Jonathan and Alyssa look so fucking evil in the notebook that I'm pretty sure they may have been psychos in a prior incarnation of the game before release.

>I finally got logged in, thank god didn't want to miss opportunity to ask a question to the devs.

>Are we getting psychopaths this time round? Haven't heard anything about them in any interviews etc. If we are - are they based on the ideas of deadrising 3's seven deadly sins psychopaths or more random original created psychos like in DR1 and DR2.

>Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions guys much appreciated.

>JS: We've answered this earlier, so check out above. But basically yes there's non-zombie enemies and they'll be more related to the world than in other games.

>dodging the question

They wouldn't.

THEY WOULDN'T FUCKING DARE

This is the hardest I've found a game in a while and I'm loving every minute of it. Every time I think it's going to be smooth sailing I get kicked in the dick again and come back for more. What a special game.

>But basically yes there's non-zombie enemies

But that doesnt confirm, psychos, that could just be like the looters in DR2

...

Gameplay demo already showed some private soldiers, so my assumption is that's what they're talking about.

...

me on the right

They ripped the soul out of the series in a chase for more money that'll ultimately fail.

Everything I hear about DR4 makes me hate Canada a little more...

Johnny Test was a warning sign, and we didn't listen.

fuck my shitty cuck country

Is it possible to save all survivors and complete the story in 72 hour mode? First time playing and holy shit it is difficult to juggle all this stuff.

>have family in Toronto
>visit most summers as a kid
>be exposed to their original programming on TV
Learned a long time ago. One of them married a cuck from Montreal so now I have to deal with French Canada's pussy ass shit too.

There is zero chance you will pull that off if you don't know the game inside out and are playing on a fresh save. Just save who you can and try a saint run with a better Frank and more knowledge.

Not on your first go, no. You're too slow. By the time you kill Carlito the first time it's already time for the convicts, and by then you've probably received calls about the few survivors in the plaza between entrance and the food court.

yes but the only way you will be doing that on a fresh playthrough will be with knowing the mall's layout pretty good, scoop times, and overall experience with the game. otherwise you may have to wait until level 50.

Already at 15k zombie kills. This is going quicker than I thought it was going to be.

>kent can tie you up with a chain
this is more intense than I thought he was
I wasn't late to that fight

Possible, yes. You need to know your shit though. Hardest part is the first mission run and a part of day 2 where a lot of shit is happening at once.

Personally, I like to start the game at level 1 and do a save everyone/complete story run, but I know this shit backwards and forwards.

>mfw reading that Q&A

> Guy asking questions about the censorship on DR 1's re-release.
> Gets completely ignored

Is that pic a DR4 pre-order bonus?

How the fuck do I stop dodge rolling?

censorship?

Gonna need you to elaborate.

Don't use ps4 analogs they're fucking trash like the game. I literally spended half my playtime rolling by accident.

A poster and a shirt had titties on them which are now removed.

Fuck man, I was having fun until I got got that ability, the game is becoming unplayable. There's gotta be a way to fix it

>Missed man in a bind
ENDING B HERE I COME

You can get ending A and still get Saint, just finish overtime mode.

>overtime mode
>have to escort isabella thru the tunnels
>she loses my handgrip everytime and i get mauled by zeds

So how did Ed get a Zombie on his heli?

He was a dumb and should have stopped being a kike and flew to Frank

>zeds

>>>/kfg/

Probably got an infected survivor on his heli when he was waiting for Frank.

Give me a break. I've been playing dead rising for 2
10 hours or so without a break. I think I'm just gonna try lvling up by killing zombies and then saving so I start with more than 3 bars of health

how did frank get infected.

Thats not the fault of the game being bigger retard its the fact that casuals dont like time limits

Oh bullshit. Just front-up admit you were cheap and wanted someone cheaper.

The whole 16 years is LOL because he doesn't look any older than he did in 2:OTR. He actually looks *younger* than Dan Akryod Frank.

I'm not a huge fan of the time limit but I like it. It gives you a purpose and a sense. Of stress. And it makes sense a large scale zombie outbreak would be dealt with. I really wonder what their reason in universe for no time limit and so on will be. At least dead rising 3 had a time limit, psychopaths and weren't too bad.

How many times were you bit while playing

In universe he didn't get bit like that. In universe zombies always seems less of a threat since survivors and cutscene characters move around easily.

Also there isnt really that much to do in the game. Mainly saving people and occasionally fighting a psychopath the games pretty empty so the time limit helps you focus more

Someone got infected from just a stratch so it seems really easy to get infected

The threat of the series was always the clock. The zombies were always obstacles and fodder. To remove the threat and replace it with super strong zombies that are wasted with super powered armor anyways is pointless.

He got infected same way most other people got infected, he got stung by one of the wasps. A little harder to avoid then a zombie bite.

In fact it's so hard to avoid in the DR movies they just go fuck it and say it's a virus.

Well the virus was cured in dead rising 3 unless this is some new strain and the reason for no time limit is that the whole US is infected

Are the dead rising movies any good? Are they somewhat serious as the games can be?

>playing this for the first time
>dying a lot trying to save people in Barricade Pair
>look up where the key is yeah I know fuck me
>get it
>fucking die 'cause it's the middle of the night
>choose "save status and quit" thinking it'll set a checkpoint or something like a one-time save
>all the way back to the beginning
How the fuck was I supposed to know that would happen

Why does overtime mode give you 24 hours until Frank turns into a zombie
Seems really lax.

OTR's sandbox mode proves that the timer is absolutely a core part of the franchise; it's amusing for a little while but quickly gets boring as fuck because there's no tension. People think that because DR has an open world it should be like every other shitty open world game and let you piss around all the time when it just doesn't work.

Average at best. Rob Riggle as Frank was pretty good, though

>whole us is infected
>military troopers will come in a poor attempt to clean it up, but no fire bombings because entire US

I'd rather have a time limit and another mall

Is seeing a shitty resolution picture of a pair of titties that important to some people?

3 should be off the record for what they did to Katey and Chuck.

Dead Rising doesn't have much going for it mechanically, it's the stress of the time limits that keeps you going.

I don't know if I'd even call it a "good" game since it's pretty shit on a few fundamental levels but it scratches a very specific itch.

Probably to give the player some time to fuck around killing zombies.

The problem with the time limit is that it spams you with failure messages. Dead rising 3 handled it well in that the time limit was permissive enough that you could screw around and not be told "You fucked up", but was still present enough you had to start hauling ass if the timer was getting low.

In Dead Rising, its a turn off because you basically have to go in the first time with the idea that you're just going to fuck around to get the hang of things.

Absolutely true. It's not particularly fun only exploring with no purpose. It's the time constraints and wanting the best ending thats the kicker

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

...

If 4 handles it like 3, where you had the option of a forgiving timer or having a frantic one, it will probably be alright. If it's "walk here to initiate next cut scene", fuck that.

They've already confirmed it's no timer at all.

>it's no timer at all.

They flat out said 4 will not have a timer of any sort, and that the challenge of the game will come from "special zombies" instead

>"Playing Dead Rising HD really does showcase how much more "user friendly" the series has gotten. Is some level of urgency and desperation returning in DR4, or did you guys decide to keep on with the newer, more fast paced action oriented form Blue Castle started the series on with Dead Rising 2?"

>JE: The goal is going to be making DR4 harder than DR3, but we're moving away from some of the elements of the first two games like the timer that added a lot of the challenge. We're also trying to up the challenge by adding new enemy types which present different challenges for the player.

so they're taking away one of the core parts of Dead Rising to make the game harder?

this sounds familiar

>virus

Doesn't ANYONE remember that this isn't a virus, it's a paratactic wasp larva causing this shit.

Sounds like they want to make a completely different game.

Wait! Did anyone ask about Zombrex and if frank needed to take it?

When asked if psycho boss battles were still a feature they dodged the question too, see

>start by level 1
>game is fun, hard and challenging
>forced to use heavy machinegun on bosses because they're bullet sponges
>finish it at level 35
>replay again
>it's too easy and boring now

They dun goofed in the bullet sponge balancing. Bosses and soldiers are too resistant.

If whatever the bosses are don't have celldweller or gone guru-esque music, I'm just going to lose my shit.

>It's no timer at all?
Whelp, there goes one of the most crucial building blocks the DR series was built upon...

>Using guns to kill psychopaths

anonymous, please

But you see, today's audience aren't about silly timers and challenges. They want exploration and wit!

>"Dead Rising 4 stars Frank West, but the longtime here is getting a new voice. With the fourth entry, Capcom Vancouver has decided to replace longtime actor TJ Rotolo. 'With Dead Rising 4, we wanted Frank to grow physically and mentally', says studio director Joe Nichols. 'sixteen years is a long time, and we also wanted to make sure that the chemistry and the voices of the characters were awesome. We do have a new voice for Frank.' 'TJ was really important at the beginning of the game,' adds executive producer Bryce Cochrane. "Dead Rising 1 was a Japanese take on American Society, which was awesome and great, and we needed to find how to keep that Frank West being true to the original character but also a little more grounded, a little more appropriate to North American audiences."

did these morons even play dead rising 1 or watched anything of it

frank is the most grounded character in the fucking game and nearly always serious

did they make the AI better in the Dead Rising remaster

Nope, as dumb as ever. as it should be.

>Frank now takes selfies
>A professional get-shit-done photojournalist taking selfies

Gonna kill myself m8s

No, only the framerate is better. The survivors are just as retarded as they were a decade ago.

which is better, dr2 or off the record

The selfies are the least of the problems surrounding the game. Hell, it's about the only thing I like in what I've seen and heard so far. used to take mirror pics in the original game all the time. MySpace style.

OTR, though it does have some annoyances they added in for no particular reason (Looters now aggro from across the level, the auto-grab jumpscare zombies).

DR2. Chuck is fine and I go autismo apeshit if Frank's personality isn't DR1

>tfw love Chuck and think he's sympathetic as hell
>mfw i see what they did to him in 3

Playing DR1

How exactly am I supposed to save survivors?

I mean, in a timely fashion.

It almost seems like the tunnels are 100% worse, but moving through the mall with these fags is a pain in the dick

Case Zero was a perfect introduction to his character. I feel like DR2's attempt at silliness puts his plight more in the background which makes him more forgettable than he honestly deserves.

>gif is from Misfits, which went to shit with Season 3
>DR went to shit with the third game

Its like pottery

Finish story and scoops as best you can then come back when you're over leveled and do strictly scoops and survivors.

>mfw that show went shit

>misfits
>went to shit in season 3

While I agree it was the weakest in the series, it did bring us the best character who I was very against leading up to it. Also, that zombie cheerleader episode.

you could take selfies in OTR

Rudy was ok but they went retarded with the time travelling Simon, it should have just stayed a bunch of dumb ass teenagers fucking people over with their super powers.

I never understood what is supposedly wrong with selfies. Everyone is gonna take and post pictures of their Frank anyway.

I knew it was over at one crucial moment

Best of the season, and pretty fitting for the thread.
youtube.com/watch?v=KUxoxEZWDms

It's a meme and professional photographers usually refrain from it, they rather stay behind the camera to get the perfect shot.

who's the worst survivor in Dead Rising? my vote goes to either Aaron Swoop or that fatfuck Ronald.

kys dumb fuck. Not everything is a meme

Honestly I think it fits fine. There are bigger things to worry about.

T. DR4 Frank

Sefies are a popular thing in mainstream culture, practically everybody takes them these days. Doesn't seem out of place to me.

I always thought Ned Luke was his voice actor

>In Dead Rising, its a turn off because you basically have to go in the first time with the idea that you're just going to fuck around to get the hang of things.

I know, it's so much better when you can just breeze through in three hours and sell it back to gamestop that same afternoon.

The game is well designed and if you enjoy actually investing some effort into the game it's extremely rewarding. It's one of the last games from a bygone era when games had actual game design.

>mfw cutting it so close I lose the next story scoop because of bumbling retard survivors climbing up to the safehouse vent

The bee you stand on bites you.

Just go trigger the cutscene and shit, they're not gonna die in the time it takes for you to get in and out.

important note: there is no autosave at the start of overtime mode. if you die or fail or shutdown after starting OT without saving, your saint achievement gets fucked. learned that the hard way today

I figured out how to force it
I set a way point at the vent and walk into the retards and break them up so they go one at a time.
The AI is set to climb up using only one side of the ledge, stupid as fuck.

Tell them to climb up while you stay down and detangle them.

As soon as you are off the elevator, send them to climb up, they usually run in a straight line and get up one by one as they reach it. Sometimes you get the odd couple bumping into each other especially with groups 5+ but just run into them yourself and push one away while the other climbs up.

be careful in the fight against Isabela to not let this happen to you

Is Dead Rising a mini-roguelike?

>covnicts in jepe movign at icredible hihg speed

>minichainsaw with magazines
yes i feel certain that i will never be this much of a retarded scrub

First one is actually kinda great for what it is. It gets the spirit of the games and manages to have silly fun mixed with a serious threat. The movie is even on a 3-day based timer that constantly ticks down.

Second movie is shit, it's the Walking Dead with 0 Dead Rising.

>roguelike
no not at all, what i think you meant was
>roguelite
still wrong

:'(

If you weren't supposed to use it then why is it in the game

To help retards

don't cry about it dude i'm gonna drop some knowledge on your newbie bum
I mean, you could ask that question of the "Lipstick Model" weapon or "Potted Plant". Just cause it's in the game doesn't mean it's worth using.

For one thing, getting all those magazines takes a lot of time, and that should be factored on top of how hard minichainsaws are to stock.

If you're gonna hit a psycho with it there's better options with 2x4 or leadpipe for better stun, or battleaxe for better damage and easier to stockpile.

Basically the only thing minichainsaws are good at is clearing groups of zombies that DONT have survivors stuck in the middle because of the huge friendly fire damage. If you're magazining that hard then you miss out on having 2 queens and 2 other weapons for at least the same amount of kill potential on this front but with more versatility for saving survivors or juicing up. I notice the guy in the video isn't using a gun on that fight, and thats fine cause guns are pretty cheap on a lot of psychos, but you may as well even the odds with a quickstep or something if that's how you're gonna play it. I'm speculating, but the first reason that pops into my head as to why that player wouldn't juice constantly is because he's wasting inventory on his minichainsaw.

>For one thing, getting all those magazines takes a lot of time
you what

Wait I finished reading your post and I now understand it was a joke.

>none of the dead rising games expanded on what the fuck the True Eye cult was or why they were there

Glad we got more fucking Isabela Lore though

It's really sad when DR4's portrayal of Frank makes that fagboy Nick seem bearable in comparison.

Nick. The character who...
>Loses his shit whenever there are more than 10 zombies in the same zip code as him
>Is motivated to act because he wants to fuck some girl
>Has little reaction to his best friend being murdered, but chimps out when said girl is any danger
>Breaks down crying after having to kill a human in self-defense
>Is the magically immune Santa Cabeza rape-baby rather than an everyday man
>Has other characters actively acknowledging how "amazing" he is on a regular basis

Holy fuck this is perfect user

What did they do to him in 3? I don't remember much other than he looked absolutely depressed with his haircut and beard.

>Expand on the cult

That would get in the way of yolo.

In addition to You eventually get access to a shortcut that'll zip you from one part of the mall to near-ish the safehouse.

I've never been able to get all survivors WITHOUT using the shortcut.

He's become a mob-boss, who gets chewed out by Nick for trying to help Katey with his evil criminalness (which is never expanded upon).

He deserved better. At the same time, he got off easy in comparison to Frank in DR4...

> he didn't talk to Isabella

Pic?
Not gonna jerk it, I just want to see what you guys are talking about.

>He's become a mob-boss
You fucking what? Seriously?
What the fuck would Chuck do that for? If anything he should be swimming in money and fame because of his abilities with the motorcycle and the events of DR2, why the fuck would he become a criminal?

Give them orders instead of just telling them to follow you. That way you can cover them while they run rather than praying that they get where you're going and repeatedly going back with all of them and saving stragglers as they get caught

Here's a pastebin. Feel free to add to it the more stupid info gets announced.

pastebin.com/Z896uswm

Is it autistic that since every run after the first, I've always fed Ronald rotten food if I do the mutiny?

Here's the cliffnotes

>After Case West Frank and Chuck expose Phenotrans as the corrupt fucks they are.
>The government supposedly does this huge crackdown on Phenotrans.
>This leads to any infected citizens being implanted with Zombrex-supplying GPS chips. The GPS being a means of finding individuals who turn and neutralize them quickly.
>A lot of infected illegals refuse to get chipped because they don't want to get tracked by the GPS.
>This includes Chuck and Katey
>Zombrex is no longer being sold over-the-counter, so the price of those old syringe doses goes up.
>Katey runs away because Chuck is losing his mind trying to gather enough money to afford Zombrex (unclear if he's a criminal at this point).
>Despite there being no reason to believe that the Zombrex chips are bad other than emitting a GPS signal, the paranoia is justified when a corrupt Newt Gingrich impersantor named General John Hemlock (yes, really, that's his name) a big, bad government man uses radiation to disable all of Los Perdidos's Zombrex chips causing everyone to turn.
>It's revealed that John Hemlock has been working with Marion Mallon, the CEO of Phenotrans.
>Apparently Phenotrans is allowed to operate and have a say in the Zombrex chips despite their countless acts of domestic-terrorism.
>Hemlock wants the outbreak to happen so that he can harness zombies as a military weapons to fuck up other countries. Yes he's that retarded.
>But surprise, it turns out that Isabella was behind everything the entire time and she's been starting outbreaks including instigating this one, because then she would find one of Carlito's orphan who was made immune to being a zombie (this is Nick). Yes, Isabella is evil now.
>Also Carlito's orphans were apparently able to survive turning for up to 15 years in some cases, and they're all rape-babies made by the bad, evil U.S. soldiers who did evil rape things to the women of Santa Cabeza.

I walked up to him and fucking ragekilled him on my second play, and I'll probably never give him something that isn't either rotten or a vegetable again, fuck that guy

>>But surprise, it turns out that Isabella was behind everything the entire time and she's been starting outbreaks including instigating this one, because then she would find one of Carlito's orphan who was made immune to being a zombie (this is Nick). Yes, Isabella is evil now.

Jesus fucking christ

So basically
>Characters have no reason not to use an equivalent of the thing they're searching for except because plot
>Military is dumb enough to want to use zombies, not even 28 Days Later "zombies", Dead Rising zombies as a weapon when if they wanted that they might as well just use the parasitic bugs instead
>Terrorist organization previously showed to be corrupts in this specific regard and be overall fuckwits still have a say in millions of people's lifes because fuck you plot
>Character decides to kill millions to obtain information she already had in the first fucking game
For fuck's sake, and I was starting to get curious about playing DR3.

I was going to blind buy DR3 on good faith since I loved 1 and 2. Glad I actually read up about it. Why the fuck do newer series go to shit after 2? It's like there is a divide between the first two and later games.
Saints Row did this shit too.

Damn user, that shit looks good too. When you first had the template starting I didn't think it'd turn out so well. You're doing god's work.

Believe me user, you're not the only who's made the Saints Row comparison. I wouldn't say Dead Rising is a bad game per se, but its very lacking in terms of challenge.

Once you've maxed out your character, there's nothing that provides any sort of challenge. Even before that, the game gives you so many shortcuts in terms of crafting combo weapons that it makes the entire practice dull and mindless. And once you make the Elemental Staff, you may as well turn off the fucking game, because it's a degree of rape that puts the Mini Chainsaw + 3 Books to shame.

The time mechanic made the world feel alive. Characters felt like they were in actual danger. It's a shame they've removed it.

*Dead Rising 3 not Dead Rising

Also happened to Bioshock and Mass Effect to an extent. Vidya doesn't seem to like trilogies too much.

Is Dead Rising on PC good, or is it a shitty port?

Dead rising 1 is such a shitty game
But I love it dearly

And Fear. And Dead Space.

>most people didn't like the timer and it doesn't suit what we're making the game into
>no survivor escorting
>super-zombies
Why would Capcom go to so much trouble making sure that Dead Rising was fantastic only to hand it off to Canadians as soon as it caught on?

I pirated it and it's pretty good. Can feel a little bit outdated in some regards if you haven't played it before, though.

I saw that thing in gameplay videos and I couldn't understand why the fuck would the make it so durable and the AoE so big. You might as well consider it a fucking vehicle because zombies ain't doing shit to you with it.

I need Jessie in my life.

FIRE WATER

WAIT WHAT?!?!!
DEAD RISING 1 GOT A FUCKING PC PORT?!??!

FUCKING WHAT!!??

So I have never played the first game but I've enjoyed 2.

If I'm reading correctly, I can just play the first one without giving a shit about the story or the survivors for a while, grind for levels/money and then reset.

And just keep doing that until my dude is OP enough that I can do the main story at a leisure pace?

I know that sounds retarded, but that personally sounds fun to me.

Remaster, also on PS4 and Xbone.

If you want fun mode: don't get the megabuster or chainsaw

Inafune. Whenever you question some of Capcom's decisions in the last gen, think Inafune.

Do they make the game too easy or something?

How are you getting usable files from the .arc? When i extract them i get shit with no file extensions or fucked up ones.

Here's a secret.

Mannequin torso is OP is fuck. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody put a couple of extra zeroes on its damage value. The thing hits hard as a chainsaw.

Any Jessie nude mods yet?

There's a mod for Frank to have her clothes.

There's "real megabuster" you get as a permanent reward when you kill 53,000 zombie in a single play through.. Its OP as fug.

Theres a compact chainsaw you get from the clown boss. You can maximize its durability with 3 magazines. Its also OP as fug.

I heard you keep magazines between playthroughs.

But do you keep weapons?

welcome to 2006

it doesnt go away, you just learn to ignore it

What all did they change? Pls don't tell me they made it easier for the normies

In 360 game you didn't keep anything, idk about this rerelease

The only things that carry over are unlocks: laser sword, megabuster, and cosmetics

>ITS GRIZZLED OLDER FRANK GUYS
he looked more like that in OTR
what the fuck are these new guys doing

Well, I can't give you a list, but they did fix some bugs. Added higher resolutions, runs well.

It's just a good port, nothing big. As it should be.

can you save those 2 hanging from something near where you fight adam

New Frank is a man-child compared to old.

kill the zambambos and then throw something at them so they fall

ez

Throw the meat chunks the zombies drop at them. Throwing your own weapons or food at them is a bad idea.

hello darkness my old friend...

Frank is probably one of the most relatable game protags out there

I hate this industry

i didn't give that any thought because when i tried to cut down the old guy Carlito strung up all it did was hurt him

its a solid port. just rebind a couple keyboard controls and you're set

Max Payne?

That part with Dr Barnaby dangling is weird. They put him up there so that you can interact with him, but the only way to continue is to beat Carlito.

That's it, I'm pirating the game, not paying for this shit

Something as minor as that the devs probably ignored him cause they just didn't know what he was talking about

Man, I fucking love the convicts theme

The album it came from is pretty nice, if you dig Beastie Boys-type vibes

>did seven day survivor
>didnt "save" before quitting the game
>now i dont have the heart boxers or lazer sword

what was it all for? why did i do this?

Damn son. Should've let yourself get killed after getting the cheevo.

the tambourines really make this song EXTREMELY fitting for steven, because it sounds the same as his shopping cart

i would assume that was intentional, so thats p cool

Try beating 72 hour mode
If you have the achievements you might be able to get the items back when you get to the results + rewards screen

But he's not even with Capcom anymore though.

That's why I said last gen.

I remember doing 7 day survivor and you fight Isabella day 5 or so on her motorcycle in the outdoors district (I forget the name) . you can ride it around after you defeat her.

I thought it was pretty cool driving it somewhere you basically were never meant to have a vehicle

change.org/p/capcom-terence-j-rotolo-as-frank-west-for-dead-rising-4/u/17360420

Sign this shit

what is this expression trying to convey?

i mean the game is still in alpha right? they changed the voice actor for dead rising 1 during its beta stages, so maybe this VA isnt weven permanent

do these things ever do anything

By this point, the game is likely done and already in QA, or at least close to it. All voicework at least would be finished.

>le dreamworks face

CANADA NEEDS TO BURN

Too late and Frank's voice isn't the biggest problem. The direction of the series and Frank's whole personality are shit now.

I think it got us Digimon Cyber Sleuth

we got a dark souls 1 port from it

Should I buy OTR?

I never played it. I played DR2 back in the day but never beat it for various reasons.

DR on Wii

Add respawn times to convicts.
Or don't. I would but I'm phone posting

So, i am planning on getting the Remaster eventually.

Should i just not use Combo Weapons? I never played OTR. Would a run without combo weapons be fun?

It'd make your second playthrough a lot more interesting

My Dead Rising bros. DMCfag here.

Soon you will know how it feels like with DR4. Stuff that I hear are the same I heard for DmC. Casualization of mechanics or removing some out right, missing the point of the entire franchise including of the main character of the series.

It just keeps happening. And the more info and footage you will get for DR4 the more pissed off you will be

>It just keeps happening. And the more info and footage you will get for DR4 the more pissed off you will be
i have a feeling this will only be legitimate for dialog and his voice

everything else im sure will be fine

and don't forget the legions of contrarians, shitposters, and shills that will shit on the old stuff and praise the new garbage for the sake of it.

Is DR 3 worth it?

Frank, you there?

It's me, Otis.

>there's a guy here who wants to DEAD RISING THREAD

Except people are rejecting the leagues of overpowered weapons.

WWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL

no not really, if you can get it for super cheap then maybe

explain?

if we're talking about the power suit then its timed for a short amount of time

for the other items, youre going to have to help me out here

>Motohide Eshiro: Well, taking Devil May Cry 4 as an example, including the PC versions we sold 2.7 million of that particular game, but we looked at the market and saw that there were other action games selling four million, five million, all these copies.

These people are delusional.

Not sure if this is yours, but could you add when survivors die if you take to long to activate the encounter, like Above the Law?

> yfw DMC4 is the best selling DMC
> yfw DMC 1 2 and 3 remaster sold more than DmC

The power suit itself is out of place and it doesn't matter how timed it is. Combo Weapons are incredibly overpowered as are Combo Vehicles. Then you have ridiculousness like the Gnome Launcher. Dead Rising was about using anything you found around the mall as a weapon. You had to improvise. Dead Rising 3 and 4 throw that out the window to make you superman.

> no timer
> possibly no psychopaths

I can't wait for Fronk Wust memes

Where's the face for the yfw?

>by the time I get some time to play through this without anyone bothering me, the threads will have died down

Emptiness speaks for itself

thats a shame, because these threads have been the best thing on this shitty website for a while

Fantastic!

if we're talking vehicles then i havent been paying attention enough
sorry user

>Then you have ridiculousness like the Gnome Launcher.
i dont see how bad this is. maybe its just me but seems fine?

literally no decision ive ever made has been correct

Suuure

is "Unbreakable" bugged? I made it through overtime without being killed by special forces (reloading a save if I did) and yet no fucking mega Man boots or achievement?

Also anyone else get weird light grey shadows from the trees in Leisure Park? Can this be fixed?

when they disappear im going to leave Cred Forums again

i only came back for these threads

Good the place has gotten even worse recently.

Why the fuck did they think bringing the convicts back to life no matter how many times you kill them a good idea?

>mfw the cletus fight

FUCKING WANTED BULLET CURVING BULLSHIT

I'm glad I killed the drunk faggot

user, if anything, you'd get MORE views because of the remaster releasing and people are playing it again or looking up videos again.

Im about to load up Dead Rising on the 360 for the first time

I have an intention of making this one hell of a ride

Whats the fastest I can complete this game and whats the hardest thing to do in said game

I haven't ordered a capture card yet because the SDTV chink USB one I found got me shit on for asking about from both Cred Forums and SA goons so I didnt bother ordering it a month ago like I wanted to

>if we're talking vehicles then i havent been paying attention enough
>sorry user

We're talking weapons and vehicles.

>i dont see how bad this is. maybe its just me but seems fine?

It's incredibly silly and out of place. Especially since they said that an upgraded version sends out an army of Gnomes.

>3 yes, 4 no, take my word for it.

Everything shown for 4 makes it look like you're overpowered as hell

>or dont. im just an user online, theres nor requirement for you to listen

You're a shill. I don't know if you work directly for Capcom or if you're just being paid to damage control forums but I hope the complaints get back to them. I hope they see almost no discussion for 4 on forums. I hope they understand why the bad sales are coming.

>You're a shill.
Yes user. everyone is shills. thank you for correcting the record.

it WILL have DENUVO

>You're a shill.
by choice yes
>I don't know if you work directly for Capcom or if you're just being paid to damage control forums
no and no. again, entirely by choice
>but I hope the complaints get back to them
i can actually do this part despite no affiliation

>he isn't aware of how many shills advertise their garbage on Cred Forums, one of the most heavily trafficked websites related to gaming on the internet

Thank you for Correcting The Record.

So how in the hell would you know that you aren't overpowered if you aren't involved in the game?

>Combo Weapons are incredibly overpowered
They were already incredibly overpowered in DR2, OTR, and DR3. And in DR1, hand-to-hand was even more OP than combo weapons. Why are you complaining only now?

a number of ways to be frank with you

Would anons watch a comfy LP of Dead Rising?

The only way it'd be comfy is with no commentary

no

Not if it's in SD quality. Fucking cuck. Kill yourself frogposter

Get the real megabuster m8, it takes no time at all :^)

i listen to dsp playing dead rising while i play dead rising

his whining is so brutally good

People complained about them back then too. It's a combination of everything in the series being casualized that has people upset.

LOL

?

>the series
DR1 is incredibly easy. You can easily beat the game starting from LV1, filling up your inventory mostly with books to boost healing items, skateboards, and getting the Wrestling book.

If anything, having to rely on combo weapons (and the parts to make them) will make the game harder now that you can't just spin2win with Double Lariat and the Jump Kick/Roundhouse combo.

Don't for get Disembowel.

>whats it like being shit at dead rising

daud, i've done everything in this game, this playthrough is all about getting small cheevos

>DR1 is such a hard game guys. hardcore. for hardcore gamers like myself who only play Dark Souls now

I certainly think it's hardcore or hard. But god damn if it isn't one of the most cathartic and satisfying games out there.

Dark Souls isn't that hard either

Anyone who says DR1 is easy never got the 50 survivors rescued cheevo

Anybody?

if you get captured by the cultists that ruins the achievement

DmC was shit. Shitty stiry with shitty characters. Ruined, simplified combat with enemies who show no sign of challenge. Limited moves for all weapons due to shitty controls scheme. Donte's character changed to what the story needs him to be rather than naturally changing by any logical means. Donte's and Vergil's conflict at the end could have beeb solved if they spoke about it.

Vergil boss fight is a poor man's Vergil from DMC3. It's easy and shit

All bossed are gimmicky shit.

Soundtrack fucking sucks. In past games the vocals would describe character you are playing as and also the story. In here the soundtrack is made by a band no one heard of.

Color coded enemies.

Lifeless characters without any passion for anything.

No taunts.

You're a cunt with a shit taste. I can go on

What really? Even though that's not even during overtime and they're not special forces? Fuck everything

Is there anything worse than Canadians trying to create an American character?

You're retarded if you didn't see the "restart game" warning

>Cletus holds off the special forces for an hour before dying

That hick has a shotgun that can hold 30 shells, and it reloads pretty quickly. I'm honestly surprised you can do his boss battle when they arrive.

Wait a minute, I thought he got killed and replaced by three survivors by the final day? The ones that demand a vent photo?

Well I'm assuming they only show up if cletus is dead, since according to user's image his "scoop" lasts until midnight. I made a mistake actually, I thought they showered up at 10pm because of that red line, special forces show up at midnight.

Nope, on my first run I was too underpowered to fight him, so I ignored him. The survivors still showed up on day three. Maybe he was just out back taking a shit

>paratactic wasp larva

I transcribed the developer Q&A in
Here's a link: pastebin.com/Sz7YckGP

Just put this in new threads so people know what's up with Dead Rising 4 and know that it's not fucking Dead Rising.

jesus christ which game is the bottom left one

>does not matter Tojo, white piggu westerners all rook same!

DR1 beta

I dreamt of Colombian Roastmasters last night.

>locking the wrestling moves behind a combo counter
>YOU HAVE TO BE COOL TO USE THEM XD

I'd rather play Dead Rising. I get to actually do stuff and I don't have to listen to your stupid faggot voice.

Is there a trick to getting flash kick/somersault to come out instead of the normal jump kick? I've landed it a couple times, but I can't seem to get the "timing" down, since it tells you to press the attack button immediately after jumping.

Keep still, then just tap jump and then IMMEDIATELY hit attack. It's a super small window.

Controller or KB+M? Personally it feels like the port has stricter timing for inputs and might be one of the issues the port team is looking to address. I've never missed this many knee drops on the 360 version.

Comfiest place in the mall, besides Carlita's hideout

All the saint guides are telling me to save the two sisters and wait for Kent at 12 noon but it's not noon it's like 12am at that point and the main story is just gone. I don't get it.

Every zombie has a larvae inside of them. The bite puts eggs into your bloodstream or something. Or at least I think it does.

Has anybody ever tried using a queen on Jessie? It's uncertain how she was infected.

>no timer

>you can't escort survivors

>no psychopaths

>hand to hand combat locked behind a combo meter

what the literal fuck, is this even dead rising anymore?

some years ago i dreamt about columbian roastmasters and gundam

it was pretty weird and vague

I'll try that. I figured that it'd be tighter than most fighters after a couple tries. I can pull them off in 2d fighters easy.

Ps4 version. I do wish that dodging was bound to L3/clicking the stick like in otr instead of double tapping since sometimes I get accidental dodges.

>people are genuinely glad about the timer being removed
>just spoke with a friend who agrees that the timer is gone, claiming it makes the game worse
>bring up majora's mask and he says they're two totally different systems

At this point the game seems to only be a few climbable, map-revealing towers away from being literally every other open-world meme-game released in the past 6 years.

Try sliding your thumb over the jump and attack button in one motion.

>Original Dead Rising is completely unique
>A high-tension survival game set in an open, but carefully structured environment with a time limit

>a decade later we get just that

cut my life into pizza

Also needs crafting ite- Oh fuck

>Poster and shirt with titties on them

Unless you can give pics, I'm pretty sure those were never in the game

I think I'd remember

Barnaby infected her

I know that much, but with a skin-breaking bite or just a scratch or something?

Isabella says that she's uncertain if she was bitten or not, so that makes me think it has to be a bite to infect, which supports the parasite idea.

the poster was actually a painting, and the shirt had really low res titties, it was black and white

Prob will get it with DR4, we won't like what they do with them I'm sure of it.

>Chuck is 29

Huh?

So i just got to finishing case 1-4 i think

I have not answered a single call from Otis

I have no idea what I'm to do next but it's about an image on a monitor. What the fuck do I do now?

I have also not saved a single person and the first one I tried to save was Burt but he's a shithead

Also rate my Frank cap
360 cap from frame buffer

Why the hell is Antoine's theme so cool? It feels like a DMC song. Didn't expect this from a Canadian produced game.
youtube.com/watch?v=DNNO0qRVJKk

Psychopaths are a really cool concept but I wish the actual fights were better. They're kind of a mess especially if you're not leveled up. Maybe the series should've focused more on psychopaths rather than the open world elements. Zombies are shit, zombies are not interesting. Twisted humans who realize their own deranged visions in the middle of an apocalypse are way more intriguing.

OTR is best

Alright, the problem was that I was moving. Once I stop moving, flash kick comes out easy. Thanks for all your advice anons.

I bet there's a magazine that increases unarmed damage, I need to find it.

i hate playing as fat oldman frank

...

>"Dead Rising 1 was a Japanese take on American Society, which was awesome and great, and we needed to find how to keep that Frank West being true to the original character but also a little more grounded, a little more appropriate to North American audiences."

But the whole premise of the original Dead Rising was basically 'Damn America, why you gotta eat so much'? Since zombie games/movies are essentially an allegory of mindless consumerism, how do you alter that for a pro-capitalism audience?

After you beat machette guy in the DIY store, he'll drop a key to a store nearby that has 3 hostages as well as a wrestling magazine that boosts unarmed damage.

>Caffeine Gundam with infinite OJ rockets
This is the only thing G Gundam lacked.

Ah thanks user. I knew I ran into it my previous run. I'm around that part of the story anyway

>how do you alter that for a pro-capitalism audience?
Make the game for children and turn Frank into a quipping teenage white girl.

>No Lollipop Chainsaw/Dead Rising crossover
Stop making me want things that will never exist.

you play as Reuben Langdon and Dan Southworth in a co-op adventure, do crazy combos with whatever crap is on the floor

>Mel Gibson Frank
Huh, neat.

So I still have deadrising on xbox 360, is it worst getting on ps4?

what the fuck

youtube.com/watch?v=8t09gfwVxxA

Absolutely.

Is this game harder than dr2?

Yes.

It's the same game but with smooth performance at a 1080p 60fps and without the risk of RRODing your Xbox going for 7 day survivor. That's all I really wanted so I'm very happy with the PC version. Don't go in expecting new textures/models or alterations to gameplay or you'll be disappointed.

...

>Not the red shirt with stars and jean shorts version

You fucked up

>You fucked up
Not even my gif m8

>that tiny amount of time you get until Professor's Past runs out when doing saint

Fair enough. I fucked up the description of the colors too it seems

Look at Franks camera in DR1 and then go look at it in OTR. DR1 camera has a reflective lens and nice model/textures but OTR it looks like shit.

What's the best way of eliminating these sobs? Obviously they can't seem to navigate trees that well, but that assault rifle is a stun locking pain the ass if you get too close.

Am I the only one who doesn't like overtime mode?

From memory every single person you save gets killed by the military at the end? So there's no real reason to bother saving people except to level up.

Achievements

Just out maneuver and shoot them in between bursts while leading them to trees. If you're getting gutsy, kill the one with the machine gun first then run up to the jeep and steal the gun. Either manual or auto aim the other two with it and you're done. Shame you can't fit more than one survivor on the jeep though

Otis jacks a helicopter and gets everyone sans Jessie out, which is why the game counts them as still being alive

Normally I just run Sophie out, and then when I head back they're a mile away stuck in trees and I pick them off with a rifle.

What is the correct way to play this game? Are you supposed to die a lot to grind XP? Should I rush the game because there's a time limit? I feel so stressed out for some reason?

play it how you want to play it, usually people fuck around the first couple times then start trying to save everyone once they start learning more

Just go along with what happens for your first run. Don't stress yourself out trying to save everyone or getting everything done. Go for that stuff on later attempts once you know what you're doing.

Do whatever. The game is made to be played multiple times. You can just fuck around and get exp the first time around then once you know the mall and got some levels on you, then you can try to juggle cases and survivors

Is the gun aiming really bad for everyone else? That first gun fight with the carlito dude jesus christ. It takes me like 10 seconds to center my pistol on him and then he moves again.

Just hide behind a corner and then when he gets close jump out and katana him

Go to options, scroll down to aim type and set it to arcade.

Usually your crosshair is gonna be in the "middle" of screen. Just have your target be in the middle before aiming to spend less time moving the crosshair

I allready set it to arcade but that doesn't change the sluggisness/slowness.

Thanks for the advice!

user here who made the timestamp.

Yes there's a mistake here, Cletus dies at 12am third day, not fourth.

I'm going to fix it, double check the scoops, add some things and also store numbers.

Is there any real way to tell if Otis saves anybody other than himself?

Is there a beginners guide somewhere? Or just a few tips and tricks to not suck at this game?

throw a mannequin at a wall
get the torso
get orange juice
win game
mini chainsaw + 3 books optional

You won't be able to do everything at first. Orange juice is the key to everything.

Get around the mall, learn which weapons you like and you'll get it sooner or later.

Can you save all the survivors without doing the story?

What exactly are you struggling with? Bare in mind you're weak as shit at low levels

One survivor can't be taken to the security room unless you have Isabella in there, which requires you to be at a certain point in the story. I think you can still get Saint though because you can save Jessie.

They only respawn once a day at midnight.

Is the dodge roll any good? I find it tricky to pull off while walking.

>Last survivor I rescued was the fat middle aged woman on the roof at the start of the game

absolutely

I still own it on the 360 but playing it on PC revitalized my love for the game

kinda wanna play 2 and 3 now

probably won't buy 4

only when you're in a tight spot and can't chainsaw your way out of it

so short answer: no.

best move is walking on top of zombies, or the zombie walk at level 50

dodge roll is a great way to avoid certain psycho attacks or barge through thick groups of zombies in tight spaces. Jumping through/over them is generally the best move though.

The park would be pretty lifeless without them. They're like the toll you have to pay for using the mall's central thoroughfare. You want to cut between plazas? Then you have to deal with the Gone Gurus.

As much as I love the Paradise Plaza shortcut I don't like how it makes the central park pretty much unnecessary.

once you get the roundhouse kick the dodgeroll gets much more utility as you can cancel the recovery of the dodge into the kick and immediately attack after the kick.

Same. Playing dead rising 1 properly to the end on pc is great. I'm at overtime mode where you've gotta walk through the tunnels filled with zeds. Unfortunately I only have 3 bars of life left, and albeit several mini chainsaws i dont know how I'm gonna solve it. Isabela always loses the grip of my hand. Looking forward to playing dead rising 2 and then 3 after this.

Is Transmissionary bugged or something?

I did two playthroughs, following a guide and everything and still didn't get

i'm seriously considering just using Steam Achievement Manager, because i really don't feel like playing through the game for the third time since it's my last achievement left

Double lariat and travel markers

Sure you didn't miss one by being in the Security Room or area the scoop would take place?

I dunno, you get the shortcut right away in infinite survivor mode and central park is a crucial part of my run because you can kill the sniper family and spend 24+ hours on the roof eating their leftover food (giving you the outdoorsman achievement and also saving you from having to hunt down food until about the 2nd or even 3rd day if you play your cards right)

Travel markers won't solve the large scale amount of zeds wanting to grab me. If I hold her hand they back off

100% sure, i even made a checklist

i only got interrupted twice, and he always called back

I had trouble too, you've just got to walk really slowly till you're both side by side, then you can go full speed

Double Lariat
And
Hammer Throw

Do the guides list 38 calls?

yes, gamefaqs.com/xbox360/928326-dead-rising/faqs/44422

Also, i find it pretty odd that more people have the 7 Day Survivor achievement than the Transmissionary one

I've never gotten transmissionary and I've beaten the game a few times. Does getting interrupted during calls lose you the achievement? Like when you get the 'don't interrupt me' thing?

There was a lot of debate about this back in the 360 days, but the general consensus was interruptions are fine.

Hmm I'll try. Thanks for the tip!

That's the problem. The ports are based on a later edition of the game that added one more call. It should be a call for a later case IIRC. I was surprised to get a call that wasn't listed on that FAQ.

...

so there are 39 calls? Which case is it?

you have to do a LOT of preliminary bullshit in order to get the achievement

answering every call you receive doesn't get the achievement, you have to answer every call in the game in one playthrough

so you have to beat the game up until Otis steals a helicopter and also save pretty much every survivor you see in case they want to give you something or have you do something for them in the safe room, also making sure you get them all done before the spoiler mentioned earlier.

>Later edition added one more call

Well fuck.

is there even a point to that part or is it just

>LOL WE TOOK AWAY ALL YOUR THINGS

?

Floyd wants wine
Ronald wants food.
Paul wants to talk,
Simone wants a gun
And Cheryl wants to be a sloot
I think those are the only survivors you need

It's just a new enemy type with more serious consequences for letting them get you. Zombies consume your health. Cultists consume your health, items, clothes and time but are also easier to avoid.

I believe it was Jamming device at 5pm on the third day. I remember expecting the call for Paul's request, but got Otis saying something about Jessie, and I see it's not listed on the FAQ.

i believe i answered that one

so i guess i'm just fucked then, i'll use SAM, mall employee uniform can go fuck itself

gamefaqs.com/boards/928326-dead-rising/44117562

Here's a complete list of Otis' calls.

Baseball bat is probably the most useful weapon early on. Kills pretty fast and great for crowd control. Grab the sports book from the shop across from the warehouse entrance to make it last 3x longer. If you want to be cheap (and considering DR is cheap anyway...) then grab a small chainsaw from where you fight Adam (you fight him fairly early) and the 3 books to boost its durability which are Criminal Biographies (in the shop with the Japanese tourists) and Engineering & Entertainment which are both in the shop below Colombian Roastmasters. It lasts for over 2,500 hits with those 3 books so you can absically use it for almost an entire playthrough.

As far as survivors go, you want to use the waypoint marker a lot. Set a waypoint for where they should go and then stand near your survivors, clearing the way for them and helping any that get caught.

Other than that, you just need to learn where stuff is and good routes

mannequin torso is the better than the baseball bat

Abuse the knee drop once you unlock it, it one shots almost everything and puts everything else on the floor to be knee dropped again. Knee dropping from high places ignores all fall damage. Jump kick is also insanely good.

Visit columbian roastmasters frequently, combine 2 orange juices to make nectar, it heals more than OJ and it will give you a free queen after drinking it. During the early parts of the 72 hour mode coffee creamer can be found in the security room (it's actually chocolate milk though) Combine creamer with orange juice to make quickstep, which heals you for a shitload and makes you go FAST.

Don't be shy to carry a few guns to give to survivors, bring food for them as well (they won't drink mixed juice)

break mannequins and take the torso for a really good melee weapon, it hits like a truck and they're fairly durable even without a book.

When fighting the dickheads in the jeep, bait them to run into a tree and kill the driver by either shooting him (takes a long time though) or cut him apart with a slashing weapon, as those weapons don't stop when hitting an object, meaning if you hit the jeep you can still hit the driver.

Make sure to take the machine gun from the jeep when they're dead, it's best to use the auto aim and to tap the fire button at a steady rhythm. Oneshots zombies and will make short work of the clown.

At higher levels when you have more ATK and throw, consider using handfuls of gems to knock crowds of zombies over with ease, be careful though because at high levels that shit will one shot survivors.

Good luck motherfucker.

Stupid question that I probably know the answer to, how gory are those movies? I can't stand gore in film which fucking bums me out but I really want to watch the Dead Rising movies.

>I can't stand gore in film

Fucking pussy.

Time to resurrect an old meme

youtube.com/watch?v=4Ke0Rv5ww24

youtube.com/watch?v=a55eAGBq010

To further add to this:

A lot of bosses can be baited into melee attacking at you, and if you run back you'll make them whiff and then you can slap their shit, be careful though, several bosses have counter attacks and will fuck you up if you're not careful.

If you're worried you're gonna get grabbed by a zombie bastard, jump. Jumping will prevent you from getting grabbed and might save you precious time and HP.

Jump kick trash cans for a high chance at finding guns to give to survivors if the need arises.

When fighting those jerkwads in the raincoats, be careful if they hunch down and look like they're reaching into their pocket, they're about to pocket sand and knock you out, if you're hit by this, you're fucked, and you'll be stripped nearly butt naked and put in a box, then you'll have to fight your way out of their sodomy room bare handed. The mannequin torso almost always one shots these assholes, if it doesn't kill them in the first shot, clobber them again before they get back up because they'll get up and go jihad on your ass, which might kill your survivors.

at higher levels of ATK and throw, benches will fucking RUIN crowds of zombies, don't be shy to throw them whenever you get the chance.

Jump kick at survivors being grabbed to make sure you get the zombie off them with doing as little harm to them as possible.

In the al fresca plaza, there's a gym in there, if you go in and break every sandbag (preferably with a weapon, it's faster) and run on every treadmill til you get a notification, you'll get a shitload of PP

combining a pie and OJ at the columbian roastmasters will give you a juice to make you immune to being grabbed.

and above all else, don't be shy to start over if you die or you fuck up the story, you carry your level ups and skills over with new runs, making previous shit easier.

Except it only hits single targets and breaks pretty quickly....

It doesn't break quickly, it has way more durability than other melee weapons, double book it and its never breaking. It kills zombies in one hit and cultists/special forces in two. webm related

How do you combine stuff? I didn't know this was possible?

Yeah, combo weapons were cool at first, but they made them way too strong
I miss when you had to grab a mop because it was the only thing around and zombies were coming down on you.

There's blenders strewn about the mall, the one you'll use the most is in the columbian roastmasters, next to the OJ rack.

There's another in the food court, al fresca plaza too, there's a few more I think around but those are the ones that stick out the most.

And how do I give guns to survivors? Or heal them?

Are you sure it wasn't her husband ?

Equip guns, walk up to the survivor and push the interact button, not all survivors can be armed. You do the same process with food in hand to heal them. They'll always drop their weapon after you give them food, which might be useful if you accidentally give them something you didn't want to give up. Just make sure to re arm them if you need it.

Stand in front of them and it says "give"

Just play the game lmao

"Good, I never played the DR games because of that."

...

Does someone have Zombie Genocider routes?

Drive from c) to a) following this path, make sure to drive around when you get to A and run over the cluster of zombies, then go inside the meat processing area and leave to reset everything, climb into the big truck and drive back to c) to grab the white car again.

you don't -have- to but I usually take a hard left after grabbing the white car to smush the big crowd of zombies the appears after you reach c), then I resume the path on the line. Repeat until you murder enough zombies. Make sure to aim for big crowds and pray you run over some zombies pushing fuel tanks.

listen to eurobeat for additional motivation

youtube.com/watch?v=XCiDuy4mrWU

Thanks!

Good luck user. Make sure to save every so often, and remember that you MUST get an ending after killing enough zombies.

...

Torso with Chainsaw, the torso is durable and the chainsaw does more damage therefore can take more damage and output more damage.

It's faster to enter and leave the meat processing room when you reach the truck, user.

>no psychopaths
WHAT

WHAT

WHAT

I'm saving once every 5k kills so I don't lose too much time in case the game crashes (which hasn't happened yet thankfully.
I've also read about a route which is just the first straight from A) but you drive back and forth, forward and in reverse, because the big mosh pit of Zs next to the truck's spawning zone keeps reappearing every time you drive backwards up the slope. I wonder if that's faster than switching back and forth betweet the truck and the white car?

Thanks as well.

ALSO, if someone is willing to share podcasts to listen to while I'm getting my count up, that would be nice.

improved route:

>grab truck
>drive to where you pick up maintenance key
>reverse out of the dead end and turn backwards so that you face the route to the entrance plaza
>this hallway is now packed shoulder to shoulder with zombies because of how spawning groups work
>there's also enough propane bombs to instakill all ~200-300 of them if they're aligned right, which they usually are
>drive to entrance plaza, grab the sedan
>drive back to north plaza using the same route in reverse
>reset maintenance tunnel area by stepping into the meat processing area

Doing this and case files you should get 6 digits worth of kills. Bring zombie-kill magazines if you aren't 50 yet.

Is the meat processing plant open? I always thought it was locked until the boss fight

Unlocked with zombies inside

Why do I keep hearing about how powerful the mannequin torso is ? is it that strong ?

It kills Spec Ops in two hits.

Is there a fast way from entrance plaza to paradise plaza?

>not disemboweling/head crushing them for free instakills
they don't attack during the frank's "cinematic" attack animations, so i ran supermarket (10 spec ops per spawn) about 50 times in the last 12 hours of the final day to go from 42 to 50 on my Lv1 run.

It insta kills zombies and has good durability.

meant for
soon

>we want the "NOT EVEN FUCKING FANS OF THE SERIES" audience

>i ran supermarket (10 spec ops per spawn) about 50 times in the last 12 hours of the final day to go from 42 to 50 on my Lv1 run.
Damn, I did the EXACT same thing. Overtime really is a great source of grind.

>Want to take time exploring the mall and finding all the items
>Don't get to because forced to complete all missions

Hold on I just realised something, why does the Mexican explode into all sorts of bugs in 3 when it's just wasps?

>dont answer otis calls and explore mall

>fail main case file
>RETURN TO GAME
>continue exploring

problem salvo'd

You can fail the cases an still play. Maybe find out first before coming on Cred Forums to whine.

you're the kind of idiot dr4 was made for

lol, did the same, but with small chainsaws.
Also figured out that if you run straight at them and attack from the right distance they tend to not even get off a shot at you before getting chainsawed.

>forced
Hello???

>lol, did the same, but with small chainsaws.
lol, that's not the same at all.

that´s breddy gud

*knee drops behind u*
heh... nothin personnel... officer...
*disembowels u*
FAN-TASTIC

...

He got infected because the zombie Carlito shot when you fight him the second time with Brad gets blood in his mouth.

WHEN THE ZOMBIES CAME

EVERYONE DIED

Can I still get Saint if I fail Kent's Photo Scoop?

Maybe you should have used those chainsaws you have to stop them, lord knows you'd be unstoppable if you read a book.

>Goooood!
>Goooood!
>Perfect...

>Pick up jap book
>Can immediately speak intelligible japanese
Why can't life be this simple? It's not fair!

Probably not, a Saint run needs to be literally flawless

New version, here's the changes:
>Location added (store numbers)
>Convicts respawns added
>Special forces added
>"End A" added
>"The Gun Shop" time fixed from 12am fourth day to 12am third day
>"Gun Shop Standoff" time fixed from 1am to 12am
>"Cheryl's Request" time fixed from 9pm to 8pm
TO VERIFY INGAME:
??? The Gun shop starts at 2pm or 3pm
??? Hanging by a Thread finish at 12am or 10am
??? Floyd the Sommelier starts at 1am or 2am
??? The Drunkard starts at 12am or 2am

kent's quest is only worth 1 survivor so yeah probably, long as you did bill and gunshop 2, and you get ending A or stop case files just before barnaby turns

Godspeed.

*teleports behind you*

pachamama....

*snipes you from 145 feet away*

heh nothing personal.... hombre...

totally wrong, if you stop case files at just the right time you can get everyone out except simone for a total of 53 or 54 survivors i forget

youtube.com/watch?v=xyvCdl1sG_8

INSANELY BROKEN

watch the carlos sniper fight

Damn, so I can't get Ending A now that I've failed his challenge?

>aaron was killed

I haven't seen it yet, but I do think Dead Rising's boss fights are pretty broken too, if you don't use the Chainsaw/Mannequin you are just gimping yourself.

Kent has nothing to do with the main case.

>think it says VIRAL GEEERM
>it's actually fly routine
B-but that fit well...

just grabbed the chart off google for example

fuck aaron though, and fuck the male guy on the wonderland plaza bunny, their survivor archetype is a major hassle

nigger just use a sniper rifle against him

no

or the convict gun, or shotguns, or the RMB/laser sword, or lead pipe/2x4, or

But it's still tied to the survivor he has.

nah nah you're misreading the advice given here. to get the maximum number of survivors you stop the case files midway through, but you don't need to do that to get 50. should still be able to get 50 exactly if you've done all the secret escorts (most of which you're meant to run into by accident) even if you kill the story characters which die as a result of main story

trying to get saint is giving me anxiety.

should've saved and gotten a screenshot of them all at a fun Al Fresca party

>DR4 is shit
>SFV is their worst yet
>DMC is dead and to be buried in pachinko graveyard
>Dragons Dogma dead
>Final Fight dead
>VS series only kept by the UMvC3 zombie
>Darkstalkers dead
>Megaman is getting a animated series instead of a game
>RE7 fell for the lets player meme
>Power stone dead
>Breath Of Fire has died of IOS
Capcom might as well just rename themselves to ''The Monster Hunter Company

I like giving them all Shotguns, the Shotgun in this game is so satisfying it's even good to see Survivors kill things with them, like when you open the Security Room Elevator and they massacret hem....though sometimes they don't fire at what's in front of them, but eh.

>secret escorts

welp, not following a guide, just thought now I'm level 50 I'd just do all scoops asap, no idea which I've missed.

the only two hard ones are bill (in entrance plaza at the start of the game) and gunshop 2, which is on day 3

i'd consider the woman in the cultists' box to be a secret escort for example, just anyone otis doesn't call you about.

What, no love for Ghosts n Goblins, Maximo, or bionic commando?

I'm glad those series didn't get assraped by Capcom, with the exception of 2009's bionic commando, but we got rearmed in exchange.
