One thing I like about Dead Rising is that it make it absolutely clear that children died during the outbreak. They don't sugarcoat it and make kids magically absent. Whenever people call Dead Rising a silly comedy game I always think back to that mother survivor who was in hysterics because her infant was grabbed and ripped apart and she says "I've never heard her make a sound like that" forcing the player to imagine what a baby being fucking torn open and cannibalized sounds like.
Honestly I'm kinda happy they didn't show that and Instead used methods like that, because often times in zombie media when you do have kids and they are violently killed on screen it often comes across as beign needlessly edgy or no reason, looking at you crossed.
Frank is an example of an honorable and ethical journalist who genuinely wants to do good by unveiling horrific truths about the world. That may just be the most unrealistic element of a game about zombies.
I wouldn’t say a Japanese plot point, more so an observational one; United States Department of Agriculture reported in 2020 that “55% of crops grown in the US were genetically modified”. In 2024 the FDA confirmed “95% of animals used for meat consume GMO crops” and even still in 2024 the US uses ‘Bovine somatotropin’ which is a growth hormone given to cows to produce more meat which is as far as I’m aware, the plot for DR1? America testing genetic modification on cows to produce more meat and it makes a fuck up?

"Zombies are coming to rip you limb from limb, Otis is yelling at me, Jessie has panties I need to take pics of, dude, I got things to do!" This is it. This is Dead Rising 1 in a nutshell.
It's cool how multiple franchises spawned as originally being spinoffs of Resident Evil- Onimusha, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Haunting Ground, and even Dino Crisis.
And Capcom is currently doing completely nothing with most of these franchises. Dead Rising is getting yet another re-release that looks mid, Dino Crisis is dead, Devil May Cry, their most consistent franchise in terms of quality is MIA, Onimusha is dead, Haunting Ground is dead, and Dragon's Dogma was brought back! YAY! Oh wait the sequel is terrible.

God, Dead Rising is an amazing zombie game that was ahead of it's time honestly. A.I. be damned, I'll always die on the hill that it's one of the best zombie games to be ever made.
The ai isn't good by any means but I've played so many modern games with worse ai that i was surprised how kinda average they were when I actually played dead rising. I was expecting way worse and they're like average open world follower tier. The worst for me was kindell who would just stand around and get grabbed all the time.
I do find it refreshing to have a zombie series where they actually call the infected zombies instead of calling them whatever the writers can come up with.🐱
The reason writers do that is because if the characters use the term "zombie," it means in-universe exists zombie-media and then you can't get away with zombie tropes because characters should be aware of them and avoid them.
@@HortonSalm I feel like if they use the term “zombie” unironically then they won’t get taken as seriously. Dead Rising wasn’t trying to tell some mature story, it was just trying to be a goofy good time so it embraced the premise and ran with it; I personally think it works better for it.

Ecdycis is literally one of the gods of dead rising Tom foolery. Just stumbled apon this channel and I’m enjoying what I’m seeing. Keep up the great work
@@rabidwolverine8367 I completely forgot Rich Evans streamed video games at one time. I thought TAL was just referring to another fella that shared the same name but I looked it up and sure enough Dick the Birthday Boy himself is the one playing.
This is gonna be a long comment, but I wanted to mention that for all the psychopaths that we get to see, Sean and Jo stand out for me as the worst ones. Jo kidnapped several innocent women just to force herself on them as well as brutaly kill them and Sean used the outbreak to make his own cult to sacrifice survivors. And while it's shown that Sean was genuinely insane, Jo had no excuse and no remorse for what she did. She just used the situation for her own advantage. And it's also related to the other thing I like about Frank. While he tries to be peaceful with the psychopaths and shows sympathy to the ones that were really tragic, he can show disgust for the most awful ones. This is especially seen after his fight with Kent and Jo, when he throws the former camera in disgust, and doesn't even want to look Jo in the eyes after defeating her. Hell, he can snap one of the Convicts neck in fury in the Wii version and doesn't even acknowledge Sean's death. He will try to make things peaceful, but when someone crosses the line, there is no sympathy for those kinda monsters.
I love how the game was played straight with some amazing acting and overall very serious. Though the gameplay and psychopaths are friggin funny and clunky as shit that newer zombie games can't really replicate. Here's hoping DrDr is gonna be good
I think what works really well about DR1 is that for the most part it's really only as goofy as you want it to be. As long as you don't do stuff like put Frank in ridiculous outfits then it's an incredibly dark game that's played straight. DR1 is the best game in the series at capturing how destructive, horrific, and downright tragic an event like this would really be. Many of the survivors you meet are so traumatized that it almost makes you wonder if death would've been a preferable option.
Speaking of under appreciated Zombie games, I'm playing through Days Gone. I feel like that's a game that got slept on when it came out, with no thanks to journalists.
I get pretty upset thinking about it since it’s confirmed to be a sort of “Alt-Timeline” to another forgotten Sony franchise that I loved growing up and they even have references to it (including a weapon!) The fact that it got slept on so hard until it released on PC is absolutely criminal
See, I wanted to like Days Gone but I feel like it tried to do too many things narratively for me to actually enjoy it. Fighting the massive hordes of infected was pretty fun though. Don’t know if they’ll ever make another, but if nothing else they set up a solid blueprint to build on.
I recently tried getting back into it. It's relentlessly dull and boring and it's way longer than it has any right to be. If it was a 15 hour game it would be so much better but they actually had the audacity to stretch their horrid writing out to an over 30 hour main story. The characters just suck as a cherry on top. Nobody is likable. Deacon constantly ranting about something while exploring gets old after the first 5 times he does it and he does it EVERY TIME YOU DO SOMETHING. A Radio Free Oregon plays? Deacon rants. Picking flowers and mushrooms? Deacon rants. Zombie hunting? Deacon rants. Gets called by anyone just to antagonize Deacon? Deacon rants. Deacon thinks about his wife? Starts ranting immediately after. O'Neil doesn't immediately pick up the radio after Deacon was just talking to him? You guessed it, Deacon rants. Days Gone deserves it's poor ratings from journalists. It deserved lower than what it was given.
36:44 anytime a remake is made after the dev team got dissolved, they always miss the finer points of the original and sadly, the characters will never be spared
But that change doesn’t dissolve his women-oggling character trait like this guy seems to imply. He still checks Jessie and Isabella out when he first see’s them, and Cheryl’s request still has you take suggestive pictures of her. Erotica was a photo category that you rarely got an opportunity to exploit anyways.
I remember the 360 era, and how both Microsoft and Sony were competing to see who had the strongest hardware on the market. I also remember getting EDF2017 and this “totally top of the line modern hardware” would chug, desperately trying to render the hundreds of ants and robots and explosions that were on screen. Good times.
I believe it's a SIG P220, but in gameplay it's a long slide .45 1911, I assume to show the slide reciprocating loading the next round. I remember as a kid I thought it was an amazing animation while most games at the time didn't even have a functioning slide. And I think a reference to the first Terminator movie.
Dead rising was my childhood. I bought 2 first since it was the only one they were selling at my local flea market. I got obsessed since then, and the series has stuck with me ever since. These games are dark if you really think about it, but the real comedy is what you’re allowed to do to the undead hordes that massacred the town. I’m glad I requested this game alongside others on subscribestar, since more people need to look back on this series. Great video as always.
I like how literally every zombie media plays around with the realization that zombies are real and then Dead Rising is just like: "Ye, we have a zombie apocalypse, deal with it"
The reason I like dead rising 2 to be specific is the weapon combinations they look pretty cool and badass. good video 👍 but I think dead rising 1 it’s pretty fun and cool
I remember watching my dad play the Wii version back in the day. The fact that the poodles and parrots are wii exclusive is a true shame, those little bastards are a pain that should be shared.
I feel like Dead Rising came out at the right time for the mid to late 2000’s zombie mania, if not helped kick it into overdrive. You could argue that it was already starting with the Resident Evil games, and movies like Land of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, and the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead, I won’t dispute that in the slightest. What I mean is there’s just something about the timing of Dead Rising’s release that makes me think it helped fuel it. In fact, aside it and the aforementioned Resident Evil, there was only two other game series that came out during the period’s height that I think of with those games, Left 4 Dead & Call of Duty Zombies mode. These four series are what I instantly think of when I hear “zombies” and “video games” together. One thing I like about the plot is how stupidly plausible it appears, even back then. If you think about some of the major concerns in the 2000’s in the world, if not at least the United States, it somehow creatively combines them, almost like it’s commenting on it as parallels. This could be intentional or just coincidence, but the way they line up is kind of impressive. -You have the plot of the game being caused by a biological terrorist attack. (War on Terror & Anthrax letter scare) -You have an attempted major cover-up by the U.S. involving the military over it (The questionable ethics behind starting the second war in Iraq) -You have the major cause of the incident being related to dealing with hunger by mass producing beef through biological experiments (Global hunger and maybe a shade of Mad Cow Disease and/overpopulation) Heck before The Last of Us used it as a plot point, it had a parasitic organism as the main vector of zombie infection. Again, I wanna stress that this could be coincidence, but it’s kind of surprising how it all blended together while also still keeping some of the original Romero critique of consumerism. I wouldn’t say it’s the brightest plot conceived, but it’s definitely very creative.
Interesting detail about the games plot i picked up on. Dunno if it factored into it directly, but the idea that the zombie outbreak happened because America wanted more beef could've come from how in Japan, Capcoms home nation, the Japanese couldn't compete with America's cattle industry at its scale. The entirety of Colorado alone could out produce the Japanese. In response to this, Japan invested in quality wagyu beef as opposed to America's mass produced quantity.
There's segments I left out specifically to be covered when we talk about other games. This was intended to be one big video, but quickly realized that's gonna be a hell of a lot bigger task than originally intended. ;_;
@@TheAlmightyLoli youve got your work cut out for you when you get to 4 never played it but seen enough to know its awful, cant wait for your follow up videos down the line with 2 and off the record love seeing a what if with Frank, keep up with the great videos always look forward to them
@@NotSoNadeo I ment Kent (forgot the T) he is a rival photographer you can challenge to take better photos, but you learn hes willing to harm and kill others to create his perfect shot and can fight him.
RE4 didn't invent OTS aiming. It only popularized it. The earliest example I know is Jet Force Gemini for the N64. But there might be earlier examples.
Jet force Gemini is not OTS, it's a player-centered TPS. OTS requires the camera to be over the shoulder of the player character which makes the player actually staggered to one side of the screen. Jet force Gemini is how third person shooters were *before* OTS was made.
Weeeeeeeellllllllllllll.... I gotta say I'm very interested to see where this video series goes. All time favorite franchise for me, alongside Pikmin. That weird action + resource-management combo just really scratches a sweet spot for me.
I've said it before in a stream and I'll say it again. It's funny how I went from GHenry's Dead Rising videos only for him to unintentionally introduce me to your channel off one of his...off moments. And now you made a Dead Rising video and looks to be more to come. The circle of life. I love Dead Rising.
@FilthyTea basically, GHenry made a random video a couple years ago about the "FUCK RACISM" hoodie from No More Heros 3 essentially to dunk on people not liking it. TAL was among those people in the video he shared and I checked out TAL after that and loved his content ever since. I unsubbed from GHenry shortly after because the attitude from that video was too obnoxious for my liking, however I still think his Dead Rising retrospective videos are well made.
Is it just me or is it normal to feel bad for a good amount of the psychos in Dead rising. I'm not saying all of them of course but at least a good half if there was a way to knock them out could have probably been rehabilitated.
Your video reminded me of the time when I first played Dead Rising 1 on and dog shit laptop that almost melted but still it didn't take away the fun out of the experience truly a great game, great video and I'm looking forward to your next upload
I never really played the dead rising games before but after seeing this video I am now curious about seeing it. Mainly for Frank West and how compassionate he is and I love compassionate characters they are like my favorite kind of characters with aspirational characters
Hate double commenting, but that's what I get for commenting before I finish the video. Thanks for calling out the """"Deluxe""""" remaster. It was the last chance to get the franchise back on track, and they messed it up. I look forward to your video on it and the other DR games. Also, this was a very thorough video that I enjoyed. You've earned a new sub.
I loved the review! I've 100%ed this game a few times (getting all achievements). I know quite a lot about the game, so I'm happy you went this in-depth. A good tip for Cletus fight. Kill zombies in the area first. Then don't hold any items and while Cletus is reloading or drinking, jump behind the counter and grab a Sniper rifle. Open both doors and then you can camp on the corners of the entrance. if you do it right, he will get stunlocked and will not be able to hit you. He will just keep drinking.
15:16 this is because 1. Most cases take place here. Making it more dangerous for traversing and 2. It literally has everything you’d want; a blade store, hardware store a store with infinite of basically all food, and the only gun store. If you want reliable EVERYTHING you can consistently find, it’s dangerous & out of the way to encourage you to try to find suitable options elsewhere while making it rewarding to be there.
Dead Rising had such a special place in my heart. I remember staying up late with friends playing it on the Xbox. We got 7hrs into the 7 day Survivor achievement and the game crashed, I gotta give it another try
my first contact with this game was the Let's Play made by PhantomSavage, totally found it by accident. Decided to get it and play for myself since it looked awesome, and I was surprised by how much they actually put into this game, still to this day the best game on 360 and one of the best zombie games, period.
Great video, Almight. Loved this game and the sequel. Speaking of the sequel, hope you remember the comics too. Not to mention Zombrex: Rising Sun and Watchtower.
Love that he brought up the red ring of death, since this game was the first of many to brick my 360. Oh and the "towel fix" such a stupid idea, but i can say it did work since i was desperate enough to try it back when left 4 dead 1 released. That damn red ring couldn't have come at a worst time 😅
You know what great abouts dead rising, its full of diversity that isnt forced or injected. A great example of diversity in media way before the pc culture, and DEI agenda's
Man, growing up with the 360 I remember those problems all too well. I sent back maybe 3 360's because they all bricked on me, and when my warranty expired and I couldn't replace my 4th, I resorted to the "Penny Fix," where you wrap pennies in electrical tape and place them on the GPU and CPU to act as heat sinks (Granted it did work for a while). In all, I think I went through maybe six 360 consoles by the time the Xbox One came out lmao.
Man, looking back on the story has reminded me of what they did with Case West and how that went nowhere. Its crazy that this series has not one, but two spin off entries dedicated to an alternate timeline from the main.
During my deployment they made me take pictures. Every time someone asked me if I knew what I was doing I would say "I covered war you know"
I wasn't forced to take photos, but my SGM wanted some of mine for the battalion facebook when we got back from rotation.
I thought you were going to say, "Every time I took a picture I'd say, FAN-TASTIC!"
@@koatam damn I should have said that. Oh well maybe next time

that's how you know it's fiction the journo is actually a good guy

I like how the original town where the outbreak happened was Santa Cabeza. Literally “Saint Head”, but maybe a reference to brains.
Dead Rising is one of those games like drakenguard for me
a game you pop in when you want t blow off some steam and slice and dice your free time away
Except Drakengard leaves you feeling more insane.
or alternatively, like you’re the butt of cavia’s jokes.
those fucking desert wolves….
Imagine playing drakengard for fun
@noravanguard3993 that's me with no more heroes. It's braindead gameplay wise, but its craziness is something to behold
That sounds more like Devil May Cry tbh lol or the Sandbox mode in Off The Record

Bro I gotta do this to you after hearing you say that.

In all serious, really good video Loli.
Hey, wrapping your 360 in a towel sort of worked. I was able to get mine to come back to life for about two hours by putting a towel around it, then it died again.
Desperation, Resolve, Triumph, Despair
A modern tragedy
Yeah I remember doing it with mine but it only booted up briefly. It didn’t really work
Your mistake was not giving it a shower first. What's it supposed to do with a towel if it's not wet?
“Everyone used to laugh at me.”
🤡
“But not anymore.”
The Japanese have a very, very strange fascination with small town America and every day American life.
As soon as I heard "You know who won't abandon you to the zombies?" I went "Gamersups?"
Ross was a very strong lesson in context clues
Ecdycis is literally one of the gods of dead rising Tom foolery. Just stumbled apon this channel and I’m enjoying what I’m seeing. Keep up the great work
15:56 common Rich Evans W
@@rabidwolverine8367 I completely forgot Rich Evans streamed video games at one time. I thought TAL was just referring to another fella that shared the same name but I looked it up and sure enough Dick the Birthday Boy himself is the one playing.
You mean the same rich Evans from red-letter Media
@@mm-tb4sj there is only one Rich Evans. Anybody else going by that name is a plagiarist.
This is gonna be a long comment, but I wanted to mention that for all the psychopaths that we get to see, Sean and Jo stand out for me as the worst ones. Jo kidnapped several innocent women just to force herself on them as well as brutaly kill them and Sean used the outbreak to make his own cult to sacrifice survivors. And while it's shown that Sean was genuinely insane, Jo had no excuse and no remorse for what she did. She just used the situation for her own advantage. And it's also related to the other thing I like about Frank. While he tries to be peaceful with the psychopaths and shows sympathy to the ones that were really tragic, he can show disgust for the most awful ones. This is especially seen after his fight with Kent and Jo, when he throws the former camera in disgust, and doesn't even want to look Jo in the eyes after defeating her. Hell, he can snap one of the Convicts neck in fury in the Wii version and doesn't even acknowledge Sean's death. He will try to make things peaceful, but when someone crosses the line, there is no sympathy for those kinda monsters.
I love how the game was played straight with some amazing acting and overall very serious. Though the gameplay and psychopaths are friggin funny and clunky as shit that newer zombie games can't really replicate. Here's hoping DrDr is gonna be good
I think what works really well about DR1 is that for the most part it's really only as goofy as you want it to be. As long as you don't do stuff like put Frank in ridiculous outfits then it's an incredibly dark game that's played straight. DR1 is the best game in the series at capturing how destructive, horrific, and downright tragic an event like this would really be. Many of the survivors you meet are so traumatized that it almost makes you wonder if death would've been a preferable option.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster ended up being a Censorship Demake trash
@dyliokhan3946 The only thing that's better about Deluxe Remaster are the graphics, and even that's debatable when we get into art direction.
@@tylertheguy3160 true
Speaking of under appreciated Zombie games, I'm playing through Days Gone. I feel like that's a game that got slept on when it came out, with no thanks to journalists.
I get pretty upset thinking about it since it’s confirmed to be a sort of “Alt-Timeline” to another forgotten Sony franchise that I loved growing up and they even have references to it (including a weapon!)
The fact that it got slept on so hard until it released on PC is absolutely criminal
I played that game for like an hour, it was funny clubbing zombie kids but then I just put it down.
@@yeez13Syphon Filter. Loved tasing enemies until they caught fire.
See, I wanted to like Days Gone but I feel like it tried to do too many things narratively for me to actually enjoy it. Fighting the massive hordes of infected was pretty fun though. Don’t know if they’ll ever make another, but if nothing else they set up a solid blueprint to build on.
I recently tried getting back into it. It's relentlessly dull and boring and it's way longer than it has any right to be. If it was a 15 hour game it would be so much better but they actually had the audacity to stretch their horrid writing out to an over 30 hour main story.
The characters just suck as a cherry on top. Nobody is likable. Deacon constantly ranting about something while exploring gets old after the first 5 times he does it and he does it EVERY TIME YOU DO SOMETHING. A Radio Free Oregon plays? Deacon rants. Picking flowers and mushrooms? Deacon rants. Zombie hunting? Deacon rants. Gets called by anyone just to antagonize Deacon? Deacon rants. Deacon thinks about his wife? Starts ranting immediately after. O'Neil doesn't immediately pick up the radio after Deacon was just talking to him? You guessed it, Deacon rants. Days Gone deserves it's poor ratings from journalists. It deserved lower than what it was given.
I always found the cover of the first game really funny. It's like frank's saying "This is my tv!!"
me on black friday.
36:44 anytime a remake is made after the dev team got dissolved, they always miss the finer points of the original and sadly, the characters will never be spared
But that change doesn’t dissolve his women-oggling character trait like this guy seems to imply. He still checks Jessie and Isabella out when he first see’s them, and Cheryl’s request still has you take suggestive pictures of her.
Erotica was a photo category that you rarely got an opportunity to exploit anyways.
@@TheOnePrinceMeatballYeah, but getting rid of it to appease a small group of sissies who won't even play the game? Not worth it.
Frank is one of the realest fictional characters in history, i could absolutely see him being one of the boys.
My favorite Berserk channel doing dead rising? FANTASTIC!
I love the fact that this game was legally declared "too dumb" to be a rip off of Dawn of the Dead
DR1 has Jessie
DR2 has Rebecca
DR3 has Rhonda
DR4 has no thick baddie therefore it was doomed from the start
3 had the stacked cop too
The OST of this game lives in my head always
I remember the 360 era, and how both Microsoft and Sony were competing to see who had the strongest hardware on the market. I also remember getting EDF2017 and this “totally top of the line modern hardware” would chug, desperately trying to render the hundreds of ants and robots and explosions that were on screen.
Good times.
WELLLLLLLLLLL HE AINT MAH BOY BUT THE BROTHER IS HEAVY
DR1 and DR2’s soundtracks are absolutely legendary
Fun Fact: the pistol Jessie gives Frank is the same one Leon uses in Resident Evil 4.
I believe it's a SIG P220, but in gameplay it's a long slide .45 1911, I assume to show the slide reciprocating loading the next round. I remember as a kid I thought it was an amazing animation while most games at the time didn't even have a functioning slide. And I think a reference to the first Terminator movie.
No it isn't
Misinformation spreader
unless you talk about the wii version which had a lot of guns from RE4 as it basically heavily modified RE4 wii port, no.
Dead rising was my childhood. I bought 2 first since it was the only one they were selling at my local flea market. I got obsessed since then, and the series has stuck with me ever since. These games are dark if you really think about it, but the real comedy is what you’re allowed to do to the undead hordes that massacred the town. I’m glad I requested this game alongside others on subscribestar, since more people need to look back on this series. Great video as always.
The orphan plan is so messed up and one of the best parts of Dead Rising 1
I really liked how they follow it up in DR 3 with Nick as one of the Orphans.
My man mentioned the mannequin torso! Love to see it.
Ahh hell yeah, time to potentially piss off another subreddit
???
I like how literally every zombie media plays around with the realization that zombies are real and then Dead Rising is just like: "Ye, we have a zombie apocalypse, deal with it"
The reason I like dead rising 2 to be specific is the weapon combinations they look pretty cool and badass. good video 👍 but I think dead rising 1 it’s pretty fun and cool
I remember watching my dad play the Wii version back in the day. The fact that the poodles and parrots are wii exclusive is a true shame, those little bastards are a pain that should be shared.
My gateway of gaming. The nostalgia strikes hard😢
I feel like Dead Rising came out at the right time for the mid to late 2000’s zombie mania, if not helped kick it into overdrive. You could argue that it was already starting with the Resident Evil games, and movies like Land of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, and the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead, I won’t dispute that in the slightest. What I mean is there’s just something about the timing of Dead Rising’s release that makes me think it helped fuel it. In fact, aside it and the aforementioned Resident Evil, there was only two other game series that came out during the period’s height that I think of with those games, Left 4 Dead & Call of Duty Zombies mode. These four series are what I instantly think of when I hear “zombies” and “video games” together.
One thing I like about the plot is how stupidly plausible it appears, even back then. If you think about some of the major concerns in the 2000’s in the world, if not at least the United States, it somehow creatively combines them, almost like it’s commenting on it as parallels. This could be intentional or just coincidence, but the way they line up is kind of impressive.
-You have the plot of the game being caused by a biological terrorist attack. (War on Terror & Anthrax letter scare)
-You have an attempted major cover-up by the U.S. involving the military over it (The questionable ethics behind starting the second war in Iraq)
-You have the major cause of the incident being related to dealing with hunger by mass producing beef through biological experiments (Global hunger and maybe a shade of Mad Cow Disease and/overpopulation)
Heck before The Last of Us used it as a plot point, it had a parasitic organism as the main vector of zombie infection. Again, I wanna stress that this could be coincidence, but it’s kind of surprising how it all blended together while also still keeping some of the original Romero critique of consumerism. I wouldn’t say it’s the brightest plot conceived, but it’s definitely very creative.
Interesting detail about the games plot i picked up on. Dunno if it factored into it directly, but the idea that the zombie outbreak happened because America wanted more beef could've come from how in Japan, Capcoms home nation, the Japanese couldn't compete with America's cattle industry at its scale. The entirety of Colorado alone could out produce the Japanese. In response to this, Japan invested in quality wagyu beef as opposed to America's mass produced quantity.
Suprised when you went over Frank as a character you never contrasted him with Ken, cant wait for you to cover 2
There's segments I left out specifically to be covered when we talk about other games. This was intended to be one big video, but quickly realized that's gonna be a hell of a lot bigger task than originally intended. ;_;
@@TheAlmightyLoli youve got your work cut out for you when you get to 4 never played it but seen enough to know its awful, cant wait for your follow up videos down the line with 2 and off the record love seeing a what if with Frank, keep up with the great videos always look forward to them
I'm a bit out of the loop, who's Ken?
@@NotSoNadeo I ment Kent (forgot the T) he is a rival photographer you can challenge to take better photos, but you learn hes willing to harm and kill others to create his perfect shot and can fight him.
Saul Goodman explaining the RROD caught me so off guard, I died laughing 😂
RE4 didn't invent OTS aiming. It only popularized it.
The earliest example I know is Jet Force Gemini for the N64.
But there might be earlier examples.
Jet force Gemini is not OTS, it's a player-centered TPS. OTS requires the camera to be over the shoulder of the player character which makes the player actually staggered to one side of the screen. Jet force Gemini is how third person shooters were *before* OTS was made.
Winback?
@@fakesmile172 nope. I had to look it up to see gameplay again, but it's a standard third person game view-wise.
Weeeeeeeellllllllllllll.... I gotta say I'm very interested to see where this video series goes. All time favorite franchise for me, alongside Pikmin. That weird action + resource-management combo just really scratches a sweet spot for me.
I've said it before in a stream and I'll say it again. It's funny how I went from GHenry's Dead Rising videos only for him to unintentionally introduce me to your channel off one of his...off moments. And now you made a Dead Rising video and looks to be more to come. The circle of life.
I love Dead Rising.
"Off moment"? What happened?
Now I’m curious too. I used to watch his dead rising retrospectives, I gotta know
@FilthyTea basically, GHenry made a random video a couple years ago about the "FUCK RACISM" hoodie from No More Heros 3 essentially to dunk on people not liking it. TAL was among those people in the video he shared and I checked out TAL after that and loved his content ever since.
I unsubbed from GHenry shortly after because the attitude from that video was too obnoxious for my liking, however I still think his Dead Rising retrospective videos are well made.
@@SeffTrollinsyeah, I think I saw that video but I didn’t notice TAL in it. I had about the same reaction.
a game truly made your surroundings matter by letting you use almost anything as a weapon
Dead rising 1 has a really good horror atmosphere. Something about all of these moving parts gives me chills all the time while playing.
Is it just me or is it normal to feel bad for a good amount of the psychos in Dead rising. I'm not saying all of them of course but at least a good half if there was a way to knock them out could have probably been rehabilitated.
Your video reminded me of the time when I first played Dead Rising 1 on and dog shit laptop that almost melted but still it didn't take away the fun out of the experience truly a great game, great video and I'm looking forward to your next upload
I never really played the dead rising games before but after seeing this video I am now curious about seeing it. Mainly for Frank West and how compassionate he is and I love compassionate characters they are like my favorite kind of characters with aspirational characters
Hate double commenting, but that's what I get for commenting before I finish the video. Thanks for calling out the """"Deluxe""""" remaster. It was the last chance to get the franchise back on track, and they messed it up. I look forward to your video on it and the other DR games. Also, this was a very thorough video that I enjoyed. You've earned a new sub.
Doing as much as possible in as little time as possible sounds like work.
I really love all the detail you went into. Looking forward to more videos
I loved the review! I've 100%ed this game a few times (getting all achievements). I know quite a lot about the game, so I'm happy you went this in-depth. A good tip for Cletus fight. Kill zombies in the area first. Then don't hold any items and while Cletus is reloading or drinking, jump behind the counter and grab a Sniper rifle. Open both doors and then you can camp on the corners of the entrance. if you do it right, he will get stunlocked and will not be able to hit you. He will just keep drinking.
15:16 this is because 1. Most cases take place here. Making it more dangerous for traversing and 2. It literally has everything you’d want; a blade store, hardware store a store with infinite of basically all food, and the only gun store. If you want reliable EVERYTHING you can consistently find, it’s dangerous & out of the way to encourage you to try to find suitable options elsewhere while making it rewarding to be there.
Dead Rising had such a special place in my heart.
I remember staying up late with friends playing it on the Xbox. We got 7hrs into the 7 day Survivor achievement and the game crashed, I gotta give it another try
Yeah for all the good times I had on the 360 it required many prayer to the Machine Spirit.
Thanks Bob, you truly were a big help.
Hello from Brasil 🇧🇷 I love your content man never change
I appreciate most of the footage having the small-chainsaw-triple-book tech being used.
Awesome video, thank you so much! Waiting eagerly for the remake review, that one is gonna sting 😞
Loved it! Can't wait for the next vids! This gonna be one crazy arc!
I like to imagine Saul is just crashing on loli's couch, and when he pops up he just overhears loli recording and adds his fun fact
Hey; you should review Berserk.
I think he'd really like it tbh.
Again? For another 24 hour long video?
This video is sick bro!
my first contact with this game was the Let's Play made by PhantomSavage, totally found it by accident. Decided to get it and play for myself since it looked awesome, and I was surprised by how much they actually put into this game, still to this day the best game on 360 and one of the best zombie games, period.
always love ur vids bro, stay safe
Great video, Almight. Loved this game and the sequel.
Speaking of the sequel, hope you remember the comics too. Not to mention Zombrex: Rising Sun and Watchtower.
WEEEEEEEEEEEELLL
I WANTED TO USE THAT SONG, BUT FUCKING COPYRIGHT SAID NO.
HE AIN'T MY BOY
GREAT VID!! cant wait for the DR3 video!
Wait. THE Rich Evans? The one who works with those hack frauds? Absolute legend
Damb didn't expect this. Great video Loli😊
I'm excited for this series!
Is gamer sub the core ingredient for Zombrex?
36:42 Taking pictures of people getting horribly mutilated by zombies that’s ok! But taking pictures of boobies that’s wrong
pleasant surprise, I remember the stream you got footage for.
Lets fucking go, lets fucking go
Love that he brought up the red ring of death, since this game was the first of many to brick my 360. Oh and the "towel fix" such a stupid idea, but i can say it did work since i was desperate enough to try it back when left 4 dead 1 released. That damn red ring couldn't have come at a worst time 😅
You know what great abouts dead rising, its full of diversity that isnt forced or injected. A great example of diversity in media way before the pc culture, and DEI agenda's
Man, growing up with the 360 I remember those problems all too well. I sent back maybe 3 360's because they all bricked on me, and when my warranty expired and I couldn't replace my 4th, I resorted to the "Penny Fix," where you wrap pennies in electrical tape and place them on the GPU and CPU to act as heat sinks (Granted it did work for a while). In all, I think I went through maybe six 360 consoles by the time the Xbox One came out lmao.
59:33 wait dead rising 3 the protagonist in that game was effectively immune to the zombies.
Man, looking back on the story has reminded me of what they did with Case West and how that went nowhere. Its crazy that this series has not one, but two spin off entries dedicated to an alternate timeline from the main.
