Still, let's not focus too hard on one of the least important aspects of the game, as much as I might like to. The game's Selfie mode brings life to the otherwise purposeless photography system, and some of the most fun I had with the game was watching Frank makes funny faces during supposedly serious moments. Considering how integral she is to the game's car crash of an ending, the fact that I was never sold on her as a hero or a villain speaks to how slapdash everything about this game's story feels.
One of the few who did leave a mark was Frank's protege Vick Chu, but she was only memorable for the number of turns her character goes through whenever she's on-screen. I was left with a bunch of named side characters that I had almost no connection with and a conclusion that legitimately had me yelling at my screen in frustration. What follows is a narrative filled with uninteresting characters and bizarre storytelling choices being told in a game that is hesitant to force any story down your throat. One of his college students drags him back to Willamette for a night of investigative mischief, and Frank soon finds himself trapped in the mall again to discover why the zombies have returned after all this time. Dead Rising 4 makes that clear from the jump. However, this gameplay can't sustain itself under a mountain of bad plotting, out of place mechanics, and enough open world jank to make even the most jaded player wonder what happened before release.įrank West is old.
The core gameplay, that hack and slash with crazy weaponry and vehicles-that's still a blast. Instead of embracing the irreverence that this game brings to the table, the developers of Dead Rising 4 instead doubled down on the worst elements of Dead Rising 3 and piled more excess on top. You could see the writing on the wall where I was blinded by shiny new toys and a hope that Dead Rising would follow in the same footsteps of Saints Row.
Everyone who constantly defended the timers and everyone who decried Capcom Vancouver's insistence of having a new actor take up the mantle of Frank West.
