This Frank is actually a clone named, "Wank Fest.
Doyledeth If it's a clone, then why does he suck so much?
A failed experiment.
*Hank East
Doyledeth actually he’s named “Hank East”
So much better than these lame ass Hank East comments
"It's not entitlement, it's passion". Damn dude.
Yeah, I wanted that to be a hard-hitting line. So many people arguing that fans who aren't happy with DR4 are just being 'stubborn' or 'entitled' is one of the reasons I wanted to make this.
GhenryPerez not to mention its just a way fro them to feel like the victims. like they really did make a great game but the "fans" just cant move on. noo, i am complaining that you were lazy got caught then tried to blame it on "the fans."
A huge red flag when someone tries to pull that in any industry. These guys tried trashing earlier makers of the series and that already shows arrogance.
The irony is that those "devs" seem to think that they are entitled to our money.
We dont like what we see, we dont buy it.
But they get pissy about it and go on tirades insulting fans, is amusing
Frank in Dead Rising 1 was not like other video game protagonists.
Frank in Dead Rising 4 would say "I'm not like other video game protagonists~"
"I see what's going on here
I see you got a protagonist we got a protagonist actually
You put 'em in and he'll be like
COCKY LITTLE FREAKS!!!
S'perfect."
I mean Dr4 Frank isn't like other generic protagonists, he's worse by a long mile.
In the vein of laziness, when you enter the Highschool midway through the game, there is a classroom that is a carbon copy of Franks in the beginning of the game, complete with still having the words "Wedding Photography" still on the board.
No effort, none.
Max Realname wow lol
It's a metaphor for Frank in this game being a copy of the actual one.
Most devs would at least hide this stuff outside stuff.
Seriously now I'm more pissed
all they needed to do was change the texture for the board.
they couldn't be bothered to do that at least.
"...Make a product that can make a Dead Rising 5,6,7..."
> The entire dev team left the company after it's disaster.
Capcom Vancouver shut down fairly recently, and I think this is why.
Rebelmode -16 I really really hate to say it but I don’t think there will be another dead rising for awhile
@@anegativeone0227 Good. I love the series but if this is the future of it I want nothing to do with it
@@LoneRanger-gv3hg Being happy about a studio closure just because you dont like one of their games is a great proof of your selfishness.

That's capitalism baby
The first playable female was Isabella in the fight with the tank in DR1
messyprince05 OH SHIIIIT
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. lol
It switches off screen duh.
bla bla bla...Let’s cut to the chase, I miss Jessie from the first Dead Rising. Turns out Microsoft didn’t like the sexual overtones and off-colour stuff from the previous games. So now you all get the Melinda Gates' watered down version, you all deserve !!!
@Cincydoge I don’t know, but sometimes I get the feeling large corporations and the media in general have an agenda, where depicting mass carnage is fine, but anything that might offend feminists or be seen as “female objectification” is off limits. What was I thinking, I mean that would be crazy, right ?
The developers scream of a fast food restaurant mentality. Where substance stops at the surface. Their dialogue no greater than meme speak.
YEET.
Keep in mind that developers are synced-in with executives, and with the latters constantly changes, the formers are lost in a league...
They litterally describe the game like fast food. "I don't want to cook this for 45 minutes, I just want to eat"
Why is Frank actually a prick in this game? In the first game he was a little bit of a jerk but he had his shit together. In DR4 he's a slap stick comedy character.
The devs had no idea what the in the hell they were doing and didn't care about Frank's character, they basically turned him into a callous sociopath.
The writers who came in had no idea who Frank was. With how rushed this game was, this had to have been a first draft shambled together
I feel like they wanted him to be Ash from The Evil Dead
That's literally the first thing I noticed when watching the game play. That is certainly not frank west I know.
Yeah he was much more realistic in the first game
love how the game tries to act like Frank just gave up after Willamette but ignores the fact that he broke into a fucking government facility like a vigilante five years later
I from the get go hated Vick, she does something incredibly stupid, alarming the whole facility forcing them to leave prematurely and not gather more evidence. She then proceeds to leave Frank for dead at the base just because he chastises her for doing something incredibly stupid.
Would have been better in the long run to not kill the zombies, get sufficient evidence, get out of the base undetected and blow the story wide open. What good is shooting that one single zombie going to do if you get captured or killed and the story never sees the light of day? Even though they survived she still did much more harm than good. Causing the story to be successfully covered up cause not enough evidence was gathered and due to her leaving him there he had to go into hiding to prevent the government from capturing him, but hey at least that one zombie is dead whoopie!
She spends the entire time doing one moronic thing after another and continues to not see the forest for the trees. She is not someone I would sacrifice myself for at the end of the game thats for sure.
Yeah she was annoying af
She comes off as a pastiche of a bleeding heart college age moral activist making rash decisions because she's in over her head and letting her emotions control her. Instead of slowing down and thinking things through she pushes forward, convinced of her own infallibility, and falls back on movie cliches to guide her actions because she's making it up as she goes. There are several times she would've died if Frank hadn't been around to bail her out.
Craptastic13 So the lesson of Dead Rising 4 is, "Don't rely on movie cliches. Especially when you are in a series with realistic settings and characters."
Wait, that isn't what Dead Rising 4 was.
I've said it on another video but I'll say it here again - Vick may be one of the worst-written video game characters of all time.
Example: she tricked Frank into breaking into the research facility on the pretense of getting pictures for her story. Then, for no apparent reason, her motivation switches completely to 'gotta right the world's wrongs' and she gets angry at Frank for taking pictures - even though Frank wouldn't even be there doing it if it weren't for her.
Then, later on, her motivation switches _again_ back to getting the best story when she betrays Frank (multiple times).
At any given moment, she swings from the role of "dangerously inept environmental activist" to "backstabbing unethical journalist" on the turn of a dime and without any indication whatsoever. She's not just badly written; she's so poorly conceived of a character that Frank actually looks worse because he forgives her in the end (and Frank really didn't need any excuse to look worse in this piece of shit).
She should have been a psychopath in the game, to be honest. In fact, let's say that Capcom remakes DR4, and they include Vicky with her original personality and her same motive as before, but this time she appears as a main antagonist, and you get to battle her in the game.

I don't see Frank West.
I see Michael from GTAV trying to imitate Ash Williams....or Deadpool....
but in the worst possible way.
And now I only see Michael when playing the game
@@beardedweirdo790 I know, right? XD
so this is what Michael did after being so tired of being accused of being in witness protection he turned into a bootleg Frank West and went to Willamette
"Ogre-Like Hunch" they say, ignoring the fact that in DR1 he had a very expensive and powerful camera to get a steady shot in a moving helicopter to keep safe in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
I say this as someone who knows someone into photography: They value their cameras almost as much as their own life if not more.
That AND he jumped out of a helicopter,which definitely put some strain on his back and/or knees.
I swear theses guys only saw like, 10 minutes of someone else playing the game. They were like one step away from "why is Frank's left arm always bent up towards his chest?"
Yeah, it's not that he physically couldn't move fast, but he had to ensure the camera is intact. It's literally why he's there.
This is what happens when your game is developed by a marketing team, and even then they did an awful job. The amount of non-answers given to interviewers is appalling and it's clear the designers of DR4 think their players are too stupid to figure out simple concepts like "hide before you heal". It's like their only loyalty is to investors and their bloated sense of satisfaction for slewing out buzz words.
Mr. 'Google Results For Hipster Beard' comes off like such a complete and total fuckwit dirtbag.
lol i remember how conceited that asshole was and knew this game was gonna be trash
The part that's infuriating to me is the bit where they bragged: "This time we got a _real_ video game writer to work on our game!"
...So why is every character in this game less memorable and more annoying and obnoxious than every other installment in the series? Why are their motivations less clear and make less sense than they ever did before? Why does the plot seem convoluted and contrived at the same time? Why does the universe and setting seem less fleshed out and more bare-bones than every other game?
Don't brag to me that you got a great writer when the story that you've produced makes no fucking sense at all, you pricks.
the main things that draw me to Dead Rising's survival and gameplay aspects are that
1: Items have low durability, with some exceptions
2: All items go into the same limited inventory, making books and food quantities tough choices
3: Healing takes time and leaves you stationary and defenseless
Dead Rising 4 doesn't tick any of these marks, why they thought to make a zombie game with no aspects that makes a war of attrition between the player and the environment is beyond me.
> their only loyalty is to investors
Investors, literally, are who they're loyal to. Investors have a stake in their company. That's the point of investing; for the people you've invested in to take your faith in them seriously and to do your best to provide them a return on their investment. I don't know why people don't understand basic economics.
If they make a shit game that doesn't sell, then they've betrayed their investors, not gamers. Gamers don't have to buy these games, but investors have already put their money into these companies. If the developers/publishers fail then the investors lose. Gamers have options; investors don't. Well, except to sell shares, but that's not the point of owning a share.
stipo was right; this video IS the most comprehensive DR4 review.
It's the most comprehensive on the.secs. the most comprehensive on the game is from Tehsnaker.
I never thought the Dead Rising franchise would turn into Saints Row, it's like the devs are totally out of touch with what made the originals great.
To be fair? Least Saints row sucked after 4 (Agents of Mayhem anyone?)
Completely different dev's, and to be fair, they were forced by capcom to make it when they didnt want too.
@@boxtank5288 Saints Row sucked after 3. (Saints Row 4 anyone?)
@@kemando12 With 4 it was more of an even split in opinion while Dead Rising 4 is almost universally hated.
Well that happens when Capcom let's the west make their games. DR1 was in house, DR2 and above was from Canada
An easy way to sum up Dead Rising 4 is:
-Not an actual Dead Rising game
-Not even a good zombie game.
Dead raising 4 is really good
And keep your fucking opinion to yourself
Frank rising was fun and repayable.
@@arthurmorgan7645 Yikes.
@@arthurmorgan7645. Good ? Did you even watch this video ? It is trash. I'm judging it as a Dead Rising game and that is where it fails. As a zombie game ? If this character wasn't Frank West and this game was over the top, ignoring events from the first game, and it was a new franchise called a different name, it wouldn't have been that bad. It was a really lazy DR game.
@@Deadsea_1993 keep your fucking opinion to yourself
My jaw dropped so hard when I heard Frank say "Thanks Obama!" that I thought it was going to dislocate.
That made me do a double take and then laugh at just how ridiculous that line was.
Gabriel Jones it’s incredible to me how the director straight face shit talked all of the previous games and brought out that trash line. It genuinely makes me angry that they think they are SO smart and clever
bla bla bla...Let’s cut to the chase, I miss Jessie from the first Dead Rising. Turns out Microsoft didn’t like the sexual overtones and off-colour stuff from the previous games. So now you all get the Melinda Gates' watered down version, you all deserve !!!
@@DisDatK9 The directors were constantly bragging in their interviews.. didn't age too well, did it?
What makes me even more confused is that this series doesn't take place in our world at all. Even the games and films had a generic president that tried to cover up zombie incidents. Even the fucking president in the third game was a woman that was made into a zombie. So it doesn't make sense at all to mention Obama. Even R* that spoofs USA culture with Liberty City and San Andreas doesn't do stuff like this.
"Hey Google results for hipster beard"
Alright that was pretty hilarious.
So Dead Rising 4 is essentially a meme game where the devs took everything that made the series good, removed it all, replaced it with shit you'd find on the internet for the last 10 years, and sold it to us, essentially spitting in our faces.
Dead Rising 4 is the reason the phrase, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" exists, and Capcom is a company that has no internet service, because they would have learned what it is that the fans wanted, and it's not this.
And if you were intrlligent you would know it was Vancouver studio who done it

Its 2022, almost 6 since this disaster launched. And we still have no idea if Dead Rising is having a new entry and it doesnt seem like its getting one. Congrats Dead Rising 4's developers, you destroyed one of the greatest zombie gaming series
We even know Mega Man is still active via a leak or two (also a collection and a mobile game)
Theres *allegedly* a reboot in the works, but it wasn't part of the big Capcom leak recently.
@@ebookjapan8054 You've probably already heard but it's REAL
How are you feeling now with the latest news
The first game is getting a crappy remaster now. I guess it's better than nothing...
i dont care what anyone says but the character we play in this game is not Frank West. He might be called Frank West sure, but he is not the same man from the first two games.
Guns and Games You play as Wank Fest
I rather call this frank west- Hank East
He's Hank East
Frankino. Frank In Name Only
Let's pretend this game is non canon. Off The Record was non canon, but it gave us a good and believable Frank West centered game over this trash.
Dead Rising 4 just makes me sad. How do you go from something so innovative and new as DR1 to the same processed, open-world game that devs have been shitting out like constant diarrhea in the decade since?
Its sad. The appeal of Dead Riding 1 was thay you have anything at your disposal to kill with. You can do anything. I remember wanting to play it so bad just to kill zombies with mannequins. I have no idea why but that's what seemed fun to me. The appeal of the game is not to kill hordes and hordes of zombies, it was the open ended nature of the game. Most games of you lose the main story you're done, you start over. In Dead Rising you could ignore that. Save the people you wanted to save. Kill the psychos, explore the mall and find all the small details. I spent more time exploring in Dead Rising 1 than anything. You know Frank's bare feet make different noises than his shoes? Did you know you can spray glass windows with water? Or make zombies slip on oil if you spill it. There's so many little details that really immerse you, and some that a lot of people probably looked over, but they made the game feel real.
I'll tell you how. Capcom handed development over from Keiji Inafune to a bunch of untalented American hipsters who I am convinced did not ever play the first game.
The new development team seems utterly convinced that the only reason people play Dead Rising is to kill zombies in massive numbers and with wacky combo weapons. They gutted the survival horror aspect in favor of third person hack n' slash wide-open sandbox style gameplay, and as usual they give the excuse that they wanted to "appeal to a mass audience." I don't really understand; the first Dead Rising already appealed to a mass audience. That's why it was so damn popular.
And instead of innovating to add more features, they just ended up removing almost everything we loved about Dead Rising to pull a hackneyed, insulting effort, creating a game that is not only a terrible Dead Rising game but a sub-par video game in general. It's a slap in the face to us Dead Rising fans; it really is our worst nightmare to watch our beloved franchise burn to the ground.
This might be the end of Dead Rising, because Capcom is going to look at this game's poor performance and just say "well, I guess people aren't interested in Dead Rising anymore. Cancel Dead Rising 5."
Each and every single one of the developers should be ashamed.
Neonwarrior *Untalented _Canadian_ hipsters
Indeed. Instead of running franchises like DR and DMC into the ground, Capcom should take hints from the Naughty Dog and Arkane Studios schools of how to make an amazing video game. Dishonored 2 and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End are examples of how to make masterpieces.
Rebecca Clark Well DMC5 looks great, Resident Evil 2 Remake is coming along nicely, Megaman 11 is a return to form, Monster Hunter World was awesome, and Street Fighter 5 is waaay better now. The only franchise left to be made good again is Dead Rising, and unfortunately I doubt Capcom cares for the series anymore.
The most revealing thing they said was that they "are trying to make a game that lets them make dead rising 5, 6, and 7". That's game industry speak for dead rising isn't making call of duty money and they need to go for mass appeal.
Oh they didn’t say game, they said *product.* Shows even more how little they actually cared about what they were making.
"We wanted Frank to be more mature".. which is why he spews cringeworthy one liners and calls himself "his very own Superhero" no, the tired out of shape more cynical DR2 Frank captured that more in terms of Maturity and letting fame go to his head.
DR2 OTR is the only true sequel for frank west in my opinion.
This game should have taken place 6 years later after the events of Dr1. So it would have been 2012. Frank is in hiding cause of his involvement with Dead Rising 1 and Dead Rising 2. He finds a scoop with the possibility of another town is a possible zone for outbreaks. He gets dropped off at night on the top of the Mega Mall of a different town. It is sealed off by the military and he has to get to the bottom of the case within 3 days.
"We are going back to our roots". So ignoring enclosed areas, making ridiculous combo weapons return (a lot of the combos in Dead Rising 2 were believable, not Dead Rising 3's), making ridiculous combo vehicles return, and removing everything good from the series, including TJ is returning to roots ? I would have liked this game a lot more if we were enclosed into the Mega Mall with gameplay from the first 2 games, like survivors and psychopaths.
@@Deadsea_1993 not being trapped in that big ass new mall was really sad when I first played, imagine if they had the heart of dr1 and created so many cool stores and areas in the mall.
_"I've covered wars you know"_ went from a slightly odd but still fitting line for Frank West which gave you a pretty good insight to a character into a face-slapping insult to everything this series stands for. I kinda wonder if the lines are said at the same time in both games though probably not but god just the contrast between DB and DB4's Frank can be heard in those very words.
ALSO THE MALL IN THE BEGINNING IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FLASHBACK BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE MODERN MALL!
See remaking the Williamette Mall would have.. actually hang out... why didn't they remake the main plaza and have that be a nice throwback location used for both the flashback AND have it be in the Modern Mall as well....
It's almost as if no thought went into this
@@1Hol1Tiger Because that would be too much effort to do for a franchise that everyone on the team thought was old and dying. That's what happened. Same thing kinda happened with ol' Legacy of Kain but those games were cancelled before they got off the ground.
It's people who really have never played the games besides maybe once or twice thinking they can revolutionize the formula by dropping what actually made it great in the first place. Don't fix what ain't broke.
They actually should have made a game that was like Off The Record and used a Mega Mall that had nothing to do with Willamette. That would have been a much better game. Making a Super Mall that is as grandiose as the Fortune City shopping area would have been amazing. Imagine it having a theme park like Off The Record, a swimming area with a giant water slide that would make the Palisades water slide look like nothing. Have co op where it is Frank and a random character with him. Make the game about Frank West trying to see who was behind this outbreak and also for Frank to try and clear his name by being framed by the government for his stories and coverage. Imagine a modern game like the first 2 with the amazing enclosed areas.
@@Deadsea_1993 Too bad the closest we'll get to that is fan games. Dead Rising is, ironically enough, dead with no hope of rising again
Very detailed and very well put together. Many great points was brought up, all comments and criticisms was backed up with explanations and proof. Perfectly sums this whole DR4 debacle.
All I can say is that I feel defeated, it hurts to see that the casual player has yet again won. A game we loved so much get's changed to fit their needs, while the fans are sat in the back feeling left out and betrayed.
I like how the hipster developer guy couldn't even get Frank's age right. He said Frank was 54, when he would be 52 in Dead Rising 4.
Dead Rising 5 Wishlist:
-Return of the Timer
-Return of the Psychopaths
-Psychopaths drop unique weapons (DR3)
-Maniacs and Maniac minions replace Hostile Survivors (there would be unique groups all over the map)
-Return of Sandbox Mode from "Off the Record"
Honestly, they can do what they want with the series as long as it is fresh and interesting. DR3 didn't necessarily fail in that regard, it just had some misdirection and took some liberties I didn't appreciate.
If we do see a DR5, I REALLY doubt it'll be handled by CV. I really don't think Capcom is happy with the game's performance.
And while Sandbox mode was nice, I think Infinity mode deserves another chance, I adored that mode and hate that it was never attempted after the first title. It can be done again in the later games easily.
-Return of Overtime Mode
-Return of Infinite Mode
-More challenging gameplay
-More challenging survivor ai
-Make levelling more meaningful
-Return Blending
-Return getting drunk and sick
-Return picking up anything
-Return skateboards and Bicycles
-Make all combo weapons and vehicles more realistix
-Bring back each Psycho having their own theme
-Bring back Adam's chainsaws
-Make the story more realistic
John Thompson I don't like how they made the normal noncrafted weapons useless. I think crafted weapons should be rare. They need to emphasize the search for a useable weapon or trying to kill a boss with something ridiculous around you. That's what dead rising 2 lost from dead rising 1. If you make the combo weapons rare and effective, and interesting you keep both good aspects of dead rising 1 and dead rising 2...they could keep both aspects but do something different like make 2 characters, one who can craft and another who can't but because he or she can't craft, they are more effective with normal, noncrafted weapons.

"Lots of feedback of DR3 was the blatant sexuality in the game. We've gotten rid of the sexual overtones in the game. Psychopaths are going to be more than being a sexual deviant."
Isn't Dylan Fuentes the most popular psychopath from DR3 though? lmao
Best design in the game, IMO. I don't really like any of the bosses in DR3, but he definitely stuck out the most for me.
AlduinGijinka I can tell...
*Dylan laugh plays*
You know what, I feel like if you're going to decide to tone down on the sexual deviancy in regards to the psychos, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not a talking point you bring up in an interview. It shows you where their heads are at
I always thought that the setting was what informed each Dead Rising game. DR2 was more sexual because it’s based in a Vegas copy (fortune city).
What if Frank and Vick had a Teacher-Student-Relationship and "Playing Minigolf" was their Codeword.
Also imagine if a Dead Rising 5 came out and it just said that DR4 was a schlocky In-Universe Movie that everyone (including the real Frank West) hated
That would be the best way to go about it. The actual timeline would be 2012 and Frank would be dropped off at a mega mall to figure out why zombies are there this time
It was going to be about Chuck and Katey and their time spent in Mexico, and seeing how they butchered Frank, I wasn't ready to see them ruin Chuck
Chuck: So I saw they made a movie about you-
Frank: Yeah, can we not talk about that? I did not approve of that script. Whoever directed and wrote that thing should be fired.
Nick: Annie and I liked it. We especially liked the part when-
Frank: I said no talking about it!
Nick: Aw come on man-
Frank: Shut up!
Oh man! I would love the shit out of that in-universe movie idea!
I did think that's kinda weird. People don't just become good friends with their teachers, not even in university when everyone is an adult.
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record was the end of Dead Rising for me. And at least we got remastered versions of the first and second one.
Off The Record was remastered also. I agree 100%. Dr3 and 4 both went full moron
Dr3 was still a decent game at least, not a fantastic dead rising though.
Dr4 is literally just garbage.
Love your channel man. Don’t give up on making non-Dead Rising content. I see it gets less views than your Dead Rising stuff, don’t let that put you off.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!
I'm trying to make different kinds of videos, since I've covered so much of Dead Rising and it's not the most active franchise. I'm just going to keep trying my best, hoping I find something else that sticks!

Did i hear ya call Celldweller a hack? Cmon man
The developers in the interviews come off as really condescending
Yes lefty hipster twats.
These devs really rubbed me the wrong way. I have such distrust for video games devs. I don't like that they've made me jaded, but I've been burned too many times.
I also want to note that playing the PC port was so fun. It had been 10 years since I played the game. My 360 had broke years ago. After getting the megaman blaster I was able to save everyone from the mall and get the true ending. The time crunch was real, but damn did it feel good to 100% a run. Really rewarding. I miss the time system.
After buying, playing through, and regretting DR4, I honestly was worried about one thing in particular: what would happen to TJ Rotolo, the iconic, original voice of Frank since his character was just transformed into...whatever that overly quippy thing is on the screen. Turns out he not only still worked with Capcom after not being in DR4, but he voices William Birkin in the RE2 Remake. This doesn't exactly have to do with the video, but it does lighten the mood after the train wreck that was DR4.
That was HIM?! Damn! Redemption for that actor.
He also voiced Mad Max in the Mad Max game. Awesome and talented voice actor.
Oh my god. Mature bullshit makes me laugh. He is more mature in Dead Rising 1.
Frank acts like Kent in this game.
The funny part to get the real ending you have to buy a dlc
Bruh
That's where overtime mode is!
I want Capcom to take the Dead Rising franchise away from Capcom Vancouver, and make a new Dead Rising game with a PROPER Frank West voiced by TJ Rotolo. :D

LOL "On The Record"
You know what? I'd play it.
zombieslayer featuring: true frank west ( tj rotolo), psychopaths, hard but beatible challenges, survivors, an interesting story, and the old mall
billy mcjoebick and a time limit
Completely agree
It was so difficult to watch Jack and Gus interview that shitbox and seeing their forced reactions.
It irrationally annoys me that Frank is 54 in this game and somehow looks like he's in his Early 40's. Were they really too scared to at least give him some gray hairs or wrinkles?
From some angles, he looks younger in this than in DR1.
Even in the off the record, he look older, even though he was in the 40's
It's gotten to the point where I react to "bringing [X] back to its roots" with suspicion and disdain. Because usually, what they mean is "we're going to cherry pick aspects of earlier installments that we think are important, while ignoring other aspects that fans might enjoy, and/or simply take parts that are most convenient for our design process".
This, by the way, is giving the designers the benefit of the doubt, by assuming they had only the best intentions. The more cynical way to interpret "bringing [X] back to its roots" is to assume it means nothing, save a hollow attempt to assuage the fears of fans that the new installment won't be what they want from the series. And then the developers churn out whatever they like, heedless of brand integrity.
I don’t get why Frank West became an MCU character. It’s a lousy trope.
Very VERY well made video. Im incredibly impressed with the quality and effort you put into it.
Dead rising 4 is not only a bad dead rising but also a bad open world game in general..
I have to disagree with many people on dead rising 3 which i actually found was very much "A dead rising game" but MANNNN they fucked up with dead rising 4
LateNightGaming - Halo News & Entertainment It's funny. Playing Dead Rising 4 as much as I did make me appreciate 3 more. Going back to capture footage of the PC version for this, when compared to DR4, they really tried to keep elements from the previous games. It was just a misdirected game, but at least it gave you some freedom.
Dead Rising 3 did keep my interest longer than 4.
Dead Rising 3, while not very interesting, I have to say at least gave me a lot of things to do and collect. It definitely kept my attention longer than any other launch title of the 8th generation.
I played DR3's story on Co-op, and I loved it. Granted, not as much as DR2. That shit was practically my childhood.
ClashMaster Undertale's a bad game
"Your mother was a gopher and your father smells of bodyspray"
ISNT MONTY PYTHON FUN, GUYS??? DO YOU GET REFERENCE??
God, that line was awful.
You know, this version of "frank west" looks and sounds more like a poor man's ashley williams
Because they didn't actually play the first Dead Rising... they just watched Evil Dead and smoked pot
This horrible version of Frank West is more like a discount Ash Williams
I know these video aren't made for it, but I just want to thank you for making these videos. They're long enough, and your voice is calm enough, that I've been using your longform videos to help me sleep for about a year and to great effect. thanks
Well, as long as you're enjoying my content, thanks!
The way the producers seem to describe DR4's changes to the series is like if Nintendo made a new Mario game and were like:
"We got rid of goombas and Bowser, bc players didn't like having obstacles. We also shaved off Mario's mustache, gave him human proportions, and an American accent bc his character creeped people out.
Oh, and removed jumping, bc we don't want to exclude the players who don't actually like video games"
That moment when a game that came out in 2006 lags less than a game from 2016
That woman saying "liar" is more hilarious than Dead Rising4 will ever be, where is the clip from?
That's hilarious that the devs basically apologize for Dylan and Hilde. They were seriously entertaining & fun characters. When the team publicly promises not to make insecure people feel uncomfortable, you know that creativity is going out the window.
Whats made the original Dead Rising a great game is the horror , the freedom of what u can do and the epic story! Dead rising 2 was good but not as the original, Dead Rising 3 was worse than 2 but still fun . Dead rising 4 is the worst in the series. They removed everything that made the original an epic game . They made Frank a bad comedian and they removed psychopaths and they put some lame maniacs with no personalities. They removed the timer ( at least make it optional) . The story is very bad . Thank u for the video and keep the good work!
When does Frank say "Food court zombies are the worst" in the first game? I've played that game countless times and don't recall that at all. Please, just tell me which scene and I'll see for myself.
Also, that is NOT the only thing they changed about the bosses in Dead Rising 4. Guessing you didn't watch my video, since I go into detail on what they're stripped down to. And no, it is absolutely NOT just the intro and death scene that's different about psychopaths.
I even talk about the severity between how the terms 'psychopaths' and 'maniacs' are used in context. Synonym or not, one of them is commonly used in a less serious manner, and you should be able to guess which it is.
GhenryPerez I think he's either nuts or talking out of his ass, dude. That line is nowhere in DR1, and there's nothing even close to it spoken ever.
bigevilworldwide1 The line "Food court zombies are the worst" came from a tweet from Capcom Vancouver, twitter.com/capcomvancouver/status/776858201891360768, promoting Dead Rising 4.
The words "maniac" and "psychopath" in these games are specialized terms to refer to specific characters in the game, the scripted bosses you meet. They do not have the real world definitions, and work quite different mechanically, so no, they aren't synonyms. DR1 and 2 bosses were proper bosses, maniacs are dressed up, buffed enemies.
DR4 is drastically simplified to a brainless open-world game that Ubisoft could shit out.
DR1 and 2 aren't masterpieces, but can at least be considered very interesting games unique for their genre.
P.S. Please don't say LE SIGH again. It's very cringy. I know it's the hip cool amazing thing to do to go to 9GAG and try to replicate memes, but it's annoying, unoriginal, and seems to be something only tweens do.
Okay sure but dead rising 3 was actually better than dead rising 2 in terms of gameplay
I'm glad they didn't put a timer in DR4, becuase DR3 timer was so forgiving it might as well not be there, and in nightmare mode, which was apparently the "real" game, the timer was so short it was ridiculous (Not enough play testing). If they did put an optional timer in DR4, it would most likely be too long or too short.
Frank's new voice is terrible
MaxPaynefan1 “more mature.” So all of those “That’s what she said” jokes can come across more maturely lol
It just sounds like a dad trying to be edgy around his teenaged son's friends. It's awful and doesn't fit at all.
@@merces47letifer4 That and they just made Frank so out of character
yes and no. its not frank west for sure. but at least he made a good job
@@FurMuzzleGames No he really didn't do a good job...
The devs looked at the very grounded and Romero inspired Frank from the first game and really said "That's right we'll take him back to his roots... as a wackier goofball version of Ash from Evil Dead".
ik this video came out 6 years ago, and I only became a dead rising fan about 1 year ago, I still come back to watch this video every month.
Wow, someone who actually understood the negatives that the weapons combo system brought to the franchise. That's quite respectable, my man. Every half-baked fan of DR always harps on by how great combo weapons were, but fail to understand how it completely undermined the idea of "everything is a weapon".
Everything has always been a weapon. You even had more interaction with random objects because you can throw them as well and many had special attacks. Them changing how combos were made and people disagreeing with that change doesn't mean people don't understand. By your logic how is it not also undermined when you mix ingredients instead of specific items?
I'm pretty tired of people pretending their opinion is a fact
@@visassess8607 ironic since you are pretending your opinion is fact
@@gyroscope915 Listing actual differences between the games _are_ facts, not my opinions. I never said "DR2 is better" or anything like that.
I was saying that just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean they don't understand your point.
I LOATHE when the current owners of a game don't understand the point of THEIR OWN GAME! Dead Rising was a amazing blend of mindless fun and serious drama... sometimes at once. As well remember that while a LOT of people do not finish a game, they STILL appreciate there being an endgame and an idea of there being more AND that the people who sing a game's praises often are people who will finish it.
As a replacement for psychopaths, maniacs are terrible. As an addition, they're simple enough to add a bit of extra flavor to the series. Think of it like the cultists and special forces from the first game. They're tough to beat (at least on the first playthrough for the former) and weirdly unique.
They're boring, so they shouldn't be the focus, but I can see playing the first Dead Rising and running into an unmarked scoop in the supermarket with a maniac running around, chopping off zombie heads and attacking if he spotted you. It's not better than psychopaths, but it is a neat addition to add a little more content into the game without having to put in too much development time.
I always thought the new frank West looked like Michael De Santa
I remember when DR4 first leaked, I thought it was a hoax someone was pulling by modding GTA V.
Psychopaths were my favorite part of Dead Rising now they downgrade them wtf?
1:05:20 lol I just love the way you sternly say “No” to Frank’s question haha
Celldweller's not a hack :(
They had some bangers of Celldweller in 2!
Celldweller rocks
Narrow Escape is the best boss theme in DR2 IMO.
Iconic Celldweller banger.
Hats off man. Great job. Put into words the feelings of the community.
Developer: "We tried to strike a balance between really ridiculous and stupid."
Taken out of context, but still... ;)
They turned frank into kent.
Perfect video. I almost bought this game before seeing this. Thanks for saving me money.
p.s. "That hack Celldweller" is one of my favorite aspects of Dead Rising 2. His contributions to the 3rd were lackluster but his songs in 2 really added extra adrenaline to the psychopath fights.
Sorry, I just never really liked his music. Just a little jab.
Fantastic video. Especially considering it lasted 1 hour and 46 minutes and i was listening all the time.
as someone said in a different video,
"DR4 makes DR3 look like DR1"
I love how in the trailer, Frank posts a picture of him in willamette on his Twitter or something? So he can get likes, yet in the game he doesn't want any reminder of willamette. The writers are so bad and inconsistent lmao
The writers didn't really care.
Dead Rising 1, 2, 3- *stonks*
Dead Rising 4- *bankruptcy*
The series was in trouble as soon as DR3 dropped.
Dead Rising 3 was bad, but this one was awful. At least some fun was to be had in Dead Rising 3 and though the characters were ridiculously bad and predictable, they weren't anywhere near as Cringe as the characters in this game. The podcast person had a terrible voice actress that screamed for no reason and was really loud. Her delivery was painful and annoying. Plus yeah this game got boring really quickly. You barely spend time in the Mall and the story was awful and all over the place with so many plot holes.
I think DR2/OTR are just about as good as DR1, with the only real exception being that you just don't feel like you're in as much danger (at least, before the gas zombies cometh). At any time in the first one, barring the obvious small chainsaw abuse, you're one or two weapons breaking away from being screwed. In DR2, you're never more than a slight jog away from a workbench containing a "get out of jail free" card. That's probably my only real complaint with the game, that it only takes on the horror aspect of survival-horror after the first 72 hours are up.
Maybe Olson didn’t want to be credited on this game, being garbage
Whoa, whoa ,whoa whoa there pal.
Why the hate on Celldweller
'We had a writer on the most recent Deus Ex!"
Oh, the crap one nobody liked? Makes sense...
I remember liking Human Revolution when it came out... but it was more that it was a piece of bread in a gaming famine...
The game hasn't aged well, and I don't think it is very good.
Almost 3 years after watching this video, it reappears in my recommendations and reopens old wounds.
RIP Frank West and Dead Rising. What a terrible way to go.
What Dead Rising did wrong is not being the glory that is Dragon's Dogma.
The comment about survivors from the devs made me roll my eyes so far back I saw plankton in my head.
54:39 the game's own subtitles have a typo. "I really THOUGH that would work"
to be fair, the original dead rising also had some typos, like frank using the wrong there when talking to cheryl when rescuing her, and the "Unbreakable" achievement also had a typo in its description.
@@throwingoutrox . Yeah but those guys were Japanese and these guys are Canadian
@@Deadsea_1993 oh yeah lol
20:26. Question. How could an old strain of the virus made by Barnaby have been immune to both Zombrex and the zombie virus vaccine? Both of those weren't out yet. Wouldn't it have made more sense if this version of the virus was made in the government facility at the prologue of the game? Because Barnaby had no way of predicting that a drug to suppress zombification, or a vaccine to prevent it would have been made.
Would have been a better story had the setting been another location, say a town refusing to get vaxxed since no one had ever got bitten by zombies until shit really hit the fan and the town got overrun quickly due to their incompetency with zombie scenarios. But no, it just had to be the same Willamette because reasons.
40:00 "That hack, Celldweller"
OH NO YOU DIDNT
1:29:07 this statement not only aged horribly but it just made me really sad considering capcom won’t even acknowledge this series existence anymore
REmake engine reboot. It's happening. They'd be stupid not to do it.
@@GhenryYou were correct!
I want a Dead Rising 5 where Frank is back voiced b TJ Rotollo and someone asked him about the second Willamet outbreak and he openly says that wasn't him, just some guy trying to use his identity for fame
Great video. I wish you would've covered how incredibly generic this game is though; it's not just a bad Dead Rising game, it's a bad game. The game has no identity of its own.
I do touch on that a bit in the interview portion, but yeah in hindsight maybe I should've talked about it more.
The game to me looks like any game like Saints Row? Also I have bad feelings of ):$.&:$!/ and people trying to be cool and hip plus bad story writing. Sorry for that jibberish word. I don't want you to lose braincells even from reading the name.
Ryo Asuka for now
What does that mean
CrudeCoronet It means that DR4 reminds me of Saint Rows, Destiny, and the games I Hate Everything reviewed in the last one to three years. I think it can look like them but they have to be good graphics. Looking at Hammond made me think the graphics look like any of those games I mentioned.
Also I think that gibberish word was some bad anime I watched. I didn't want any one to go through what I gone through.
Ryo Asuka for now
Ok
I refuse to believe that the developers have even seen gameplay of the Dead Rising games. I mean the thing about removing workbenches is in the first 3 minutes of DR3
D1: fantastic.
D2: great
D3: great
off the record: good
DR4: horrible.
This was a great video I had this playing in the back round when I couldn’t sleep in the morning and was so nice
You know, if they toned the comedy way, WAY back, it would actually kind of work. Frank's attempt to break through the window would be funny if not for his one-liner, and the airplane cargo bay scene seems like it would work. If Frank was played as more of a cynical, burned-out sarcastic asshole and less of a goofy psychopath, I think it wouldve worked a lot better.
Very well made video. This is how criticism should be presented all the time, you gave an almost completely unbiased review, you simply stated facts. Great job exposing Capcom Vancouver.
This is what happens when hipsters make a game, from this video the 'comedy' is something only edgy 12 year olds would enjoy.
The writing makes me think it was done by someone who only knows 'safe and wholesome' humor was given a task to be more raunchy. They don't know how to do that, so they just went with the most obvious shit. On all sides and styles of it.
GhenryPerez // I see this kind of 'humour' in a lot of games now just look at Borderlands I don't know why every video game character needs to be changed to be like it. Honestly I can't believe a game from 2006 is better than its 2016 counterpart 10 years ago I would of thought games would be much improved by now but I guess not all we get is dumbed down crap.
@@Ghenry That's an interesting point. From what I've heard of this game, it really does seem like somebody told some B-list sitcom writers "Guess what? You can swear all you want now! Go be funny!"
they ruined frank and then killed him?
"we wanted to make the combo weapons more sciencey" proceeds to explain the Gandelf.
