![]() ![]() ![]() (Also see: Super Mario Run, The Last Guardian, Dead Rising 4, and More Games Releasing in December ) From rescuing civilians to restoring safe zones, or squaring off against the many maniacs - mentally unhinged survivors that replace the series’ trademark psychopaths - as well as missions that take you across Willamette (and not just its mall like the first game), Dead Rising 4 offers a tremendous amount of things to do. Solid core gameplay aside, getting rid of the series’ long-running time limit that forces you to complete it in a set duration is a welcome change, as it brings content galore. Admirable considering the meat and potatoes of the game is its combat. ![]() Half of the fun in Dead Rising 4 is discovering and creating these outrageous armaments just to see some insane visual effects pepper the screen.Ĭoupled with responsive controls that allow you to dodge, shoot, and pummel as you please, there’s not much to complain about, and everything works well enough to keep the game from getting stale. You can combine a dinosaur mask with flammables to make headgear that lets you spew fire and maim enemies add chainsaws to a motorcycle to slice through undead legions while you ride or, our personal favourite, attach fireworks to a crossbow, which lets you decimate entire hordes with a single shot, complete with celebratory pyrotechnics. Doing so lets you craft some whacky weapons of mass destruction that are on par with, if not crazier than, what we saw in 2014’s Sunset Overdrive. The combat really starts to shine once you get your hands on the many blueprints in the game world. With an assortment of firearms, vehicles, and even an overpowered exo suit, defeating foes - from zombies, to mercenaries, and even stronger oddities - is far from problematic.

These sections provide a welcome break from the combat, and exist to push the story forward, letting you know what to expect next. While the caped crusader has his cowl to do the needful, West uses a camera that’s equipped with night vision, and a spectral analyser, to get the job done. In these areas you'll be using your camera in a manner that's similar to the Detective Mode in the Batman Arkham series. The former has you investigating locations such as military bases, labs, and survivor shelters. The plot, while having some relation to West’s exploits in the first game, is explained well enough, and despite the 4 in its name, you don’t need to have played earlier titles to follow along.ĭivided across six chapters - or cases as the game calls it - Dead Rising 4 alternates between exploration and combat. (Also see: Dead Rising 4 Could Come to the PS4: Report ) Along the way you’ll uncover a government conspiracy laced with liberal doses of dark humour, and the usual set of zombie tropes. Once again, you’ll be mowing down a nearly infinite number of zombies using everything from window cleaner (yes, spraying the undead with that stuff incapacitates them), to crudely assembled electric hammer that electrocutes your foes. Set in Willamette, Colorado, Dead Rising 4 puts you back in the role of Frank West - the protagonist of the first game. ![]() Does Dead Rising 4 belong on that list, or does it get lost in the zombie apocalypse? Microsoft has had a solid year in terms of exclusives, what with Quantum Break, Gears of War 4, and Forza Horizon 3. Dead Rising 4 is the final Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive for 2016. ![]()
