Wow this is so true thinking about it wtf now we say that for a lot of games cause it’s really obvious but back then I don’t think we really thought about those things when the Ps3 and Xbox 360 were released
Used to play this game over and over again before i even got a memory card on xbox 360... Meet carlito on the roof, explore the safe room, fight through the starting horde again and again, fight carlito... Did that for a month or so... Farthest i got i think was the convict psychos in the park spawning and stuff... Good times... But jesus the A.I......
I think the problem with 7 day survivor is that I personally think the achievement was designed for a unique experience. 7 day survivor was meant for a friday afternoon, your best friend rode the bus home from school to your house. Theres pizza rolls in the oven. the door is physically moist from all the 15 year old boy condensation. More sugar is consumed in liquid form than the entire european continent had even thought of before the year 1900. Its your third weekend in a row trying it. You pass the controller off every hour. YTPs are playing in the background. The sun rises at 8 am. The two of you have finally beat it. Your xbox profile has infinite bragging rights Thats what I always thought the spirit of the achievement was, not one dude trying it alone as pretty much part of his job.
Yep, all because they decided to hire a team that had never worked on a Dead Rising game. It all went down the shitter once Keiji Inafune’s involvement was minimized.
@@jamesedleymusic I still will never understand the mindset. “We’ve had three well-received Games in a row... let’s take all that and throw it in the garbage”
@KeoneArt The franchise itself is still done with. Yeah, you COULD play the same 3 or 4 games over and over, but at the end of the day, it's the same games. Nothing new is coming to the franchise for a looooong time. So yeah, it's gone.
I feel like the lameness of the reward at the end of the 7 day challenge was completely intentional. At the end of a near impossible challenge, taken only by the most dedicated and loyal of players, the devs decide to play a joke. It’s messed up... but it is kinda funny!
Yea I think they screwed with people and flipped around the rewards where the laser sword should be 7 days and the boxers after 5. Making you think you are gona get something even better lol
But then you wouldnt get to play with the sword during the final stretch! I think its the right decision cuz then you can put on the shorts when you finish and Frank can finally rest
There's still malls but they hold no use except for the old people who don't know how to use the internet. Covid 19 was supposed to wipe them out but it failed.
Sucks for you. Here in GA we had a brief, 2 week half ass lockdown and went back to normal. Our Governor had our backs. Guess what? Life is the same, no crazy shit like they tried to say would happen.
I actually have a pretty fond memory of getting the 7 day survivor achievement. I stayed up all night to get it and it felt like a damn journey. It really puts you into more of a survivor mentality, where every zombie grapple is terrifying, food was much more valuable. Every time you see a character's name and health bar pop up in the distance was nerve racking and I loved every second of it.
I just finished this game for the first time and i gotta say i think its a masterpiece. I havent played any of the others but this first one seems so ahead of its time. The time sensitive quests (like in kingdom come), the weapon durability system (breath of the wild), and knowledge as a weapon (death loop). This game is so immersive. I beat it and immediately went back in because i wanted to try and save more people and take more pictures! Every run gets a little easier because im always discovering new things! Also, i absolutely love the plot, characters, and theme; theyre done perfectly for this videogame setting. I love how you can just ignore the whole main quest too. Frank said it best: Fantastic!
This game ate so many hours and days back when I bought it for Xbox 360. My tip is just first max up your level to 50 and get the Mega buster and then complete the storyline. This is still a incredible game.
Dead Rising wil always have a place in my heart cause it was one of the favorite games for me to play with a dear friend who passed away. Yes, this isn't the best game in the world, but it still resonate with found memories.

But yeah those vr missions where a pain in the ass, paticulaty mission 18 i repeated that for like 5 hours
I know you don't always like when people bring up the old episodes, but I have to say one of my favorite Completionist skits of all time was when you were all running into each other (like the survivors in this game) trying to get a good picture. Absolutely hilarious!
I remember that I picked this up on a whim from blockbuster because it had a cool steel back case, I was amazed at the sheer amount of zombies and the goofiness and shopping mall design was soooo much fun. Man I miss this era of gaming.

There was a console arcade in my neighborhood when I was young, a room filled with Xbox 360s. The year was 2007 and Halo 3 had just been released. The arcade was filled with people focused on Master Chiefs newest adventure, but I was unaware of Halo at 9 years old. I only knew what games my dad played with me. Me and my dad bought a few hours time and Deadrising is what we played. It blew my mind. Picture dozens and dozens of people focusing on Halo 3, and me and my father laughing like crazy throwing TVs from the second floor of a virtual mall. What a wonderful memory.
Hey Jirard and all the TOVG crew. I love you guys. Thanks for all the work you put into creating amazing entertainment for us viewers. I really appreciate it. You're all FANTASTIC!
Never got the chance to play the DeadRising series as a kid, mainly because I was a kid at the time and thought it was a scary game. I'm glad I got to watch you replay this on stream as it was definitely a fun experience.
My Experience with Dead Rising: The year was 2006. October to be exact. I had just got my xbox 360 a few months earlier when Oblivion launched. At the end of October i was set to ship out to Army Basic Training. I spent those 3 weeks leading up to my deployment playing Dead Rising and loving every second of it. The day i left i let my best friend borrow my xbox360 and this game while i was gone. Good times. Fond memories.
This game is so good it makes me cry. It’s so fucking amazing. If there was only one game I was allowed to play for the rest of my life, it would be Dead Rising. I could talk about this game for hours. From the amazing graphics (at the time) to the amazing story. The perfect blend of horror, comedy and drama. The unreal attention to detail. Everything about it.
This game seems to be way ahead of its time! I just finished it for the first time and cannot believe i hadnt played it before. Its the perfect and quintessential zombie game imo. It hits all the points of what a zombie story should be and what a videogame should be. If runs werent so long it could be the best arcade game of all time! I dunno haha i just love this game now
The original Dead Rising is still one of my favorite games of all time, and I hate escort quests and the pressure of time limits, which this game is full of, but even those parts of it I love because it's what makes Dead Rising what it is. I disagree with a lot of the criticisms, but I understand it's not for everyone.
@@larelare1 Yes the second is great as well, has some extra polish, some changes I didn't like but overall great. Honestly haven't played OTR yet, I meant to play it a few times but never felt quite in the mood for it. Might do it soon though, since I'm upgrading my PC to something that can actually play games.
I had to agree with him. For me when I played it back as a rental it bored me. I had trouble figuring out where I was supposed to go and the "time" restraint discouraged my exploration. The games chalk full of timed quests and moronic AI to rescue and after a while it got tedious. For me I rank it at donate it, but hey I respect your opinion
@@27Bayleefs The timer is the core of the game, it was designed around that timer, I believe that if the timer was removed then exploration would feel meaningless. Dead Rising 4 removed the timer and escort quests, and it is a terribly generic game, because those elements are what make Dead Rising what it is. I don't believe it's for everyone, but it doesn't need to be, trying to make the game appeal to everyone is why Dead Rising 4 failed so badly. Btw I believe there is a mod for the game that allows you to freeze the timer, giving you plenty of time to explore. Or alternatively Dead Rising 3 has a time limit but it's much more lenient.
@@remulaevergaze5342 I agree that games should not appeal to everyone. But for me, the timer ruined it. I wanted to explore this mall from top to bottom and sadly you can't do that due to time restraints. It takes multiple playthroughs to do everything and it just kills the enjoyment as the charm wears off real fast.
Such a underrated gem, I remember when my dad introduced this gem back when I was 8 and I’m so glad he did, since then I played a good amount of zombies games for the 8 years but none of them can’t compared to the uniqueness and amazing gameplay of dead rising, how everything and anything can be used as a weapon. Thanks capcom for making dead rising a part of my childhood
Man, this was one of my favorites, bought it twice on 360 and steam. Did Saint but never did the 5 to 7 day cheevos though. It was my first experience with next gen and I really loved the character progression and bosses, I also enjoyed the time limits. Still my favorite of the entire series, felt the most pure and experimental as opposed to caving to criticism in the sequels.
I remember staying up late watching Dawn of the Dead over and over again to get "ready" for this game when it came out. I played the absolute hell out of this game. The Infinite mode achievements of surviving X days were the worst. I had to wake up at like 7AM during summer vacation to survive long enough for the 7 day survivor. And for the 14 day survivor achievement, the game crashed at 13 days. EDIT: Maybe it was 5 Day / 7 Day survivor not 7 / 14. Sure felt like 14.
I remember this so fondly. This game will always be remembered by the HD transition at the time. And my dumb baby self with a TV that I couldn't read the HD text on....Good times
Dead rising was one the best zombie games I played back in the day on the xbox 360. Once in a while I always 100% game because it's just so fun. Love dead rising 2 and off the record as well.
I completely understand why people can hate timers. You want to explore, take things in, don’t want to feel punished for taking your time. And yet, I absolutely *adore* the idea that the story can just go completely past you if you aren’t there for it. It would take a lot of effort but I’d like to see more games tackle the idea. Branching paths in case you miss something crucial. Like in Heavy Rain if you miss a clue that reveals information that would help you later, how could it play out without you having it? Or how in Morrowind it lets you kill key story characters but you can continue knowing you’ve affected the outcome. A straight game over tells you “yeah you missed something, go back”, but it’s cool to me that you can keep going and have to deal with the consequences. Dead Rising still impresses me.
@@EpsiIonEagle Idk man, I really don't like how you have to bring Katey Zombrex every 24 hours. As easy as it sounds, I actually had trouble since I usually find myself in the middle of a mission about to expire and realize I'm too far to get back on time. And I found Off the Record easier since I don't need to be somewhere at a certain time in the middle of a mission.
DR1 never gets enough credit for its writing and VA. Psychopaths aside, every character in the main plot feels like a believable, real person. No silly Hollywood heroics or dumb horror movie decisions, and I think it was a smart move to give everyone a very average joe appearance. None of the sequels recaptured that feeling of normal people being thrown together in a crazy situation
Really love this game. Apart from the survivors' dodgy AI, I personally found it pretty easy. Even 7 day survivor, while a chore, was annoying mainly due to boredom rather than difficulty (with the mega buster). But if you have a break now and then while it's paused, anyone can grab the platinum fairly easily.
Thanks for sharing the experience & tips for how to get through this tough game for me It was an after school favorite but I struggled getting through the bosses . . But I enjoyed the FANTASTIC premise of zombie near free roam
I could never do what you do. When I play games I play till I'm bored then leave it untill I feel like coming back and enjoying it all over again. Sitting down to 100% a game just seems like hell on earth.
Damn I remember getting this on launch, I was so puzzled on what to do... It felt so hectic and all over the place, I just wanted to slash zombies! Then getting the extended game and all stuff was such a experience without any guides, fun stuff to rewatch!
Watching this makes me want to eat a Banana😊. Also always thought this one was super interesting but never actually got around to playing it. Always glad to see it done vicariously.
This video was FANTASTIC, and a joy to watch as always. Still wish I could of played this game way back when, but I can definitely see why it'd be a nightmare to complete. Keep up the great work, Capn.
7 Day survivor wasn’t meant to be easy! I’m sick of people complaining about. How bout praise the game for being original and actually challenging the player. You don’t see achievements like that anymore
And you saying there’s so many game breaking bugs is so misleading. Unless it’s just a PS4 issue. I just replayed this game on Xbox One and didnt have a single bug or game crash.
Yeah, i found it odd that 90% of the video is just him complaining about infinite mode and bugs instead of actually talking about the gameplay or story, you know, like a review is supposed to.
I have played dead rising on multiple platforms so many times and cannot think of a single bug that had a big effect on gameplay. Or really many bugs at all. Tbh this guy, like many, probably was just frustrated with how hard the game is. They don't make em like they used to
@@jackgunderson9442 The game is only hard til you get access to the gun shop and Adams Mini Chainsaws, then the game is a breeze lol, and even before then the game really isn't all that difficult.
I hate timers. I especially hate being rushed when the game gives you every incentive to take your time and just have fun. Unfortunately, this might be a minority opinion, as most fans seem to think the timer is crucial to the series. I think DR4’s lack of a timer was its one great benefit. Shame everything else about it sucked.
I guess some Dead Rising fans like the challenge that having a limited amount of time presents to the player. To be honest, I think Dead Rising 2 is a lot more lenient. For the next Dead Rising game, they should have two modes. One with a timer and one without a timer. That way, they can please everyone.
As a fan since the original game, the reason why so many of us like the timers and were upset they got taken away in 4 was because it’s one of the things that made Dead Rising unique. Without a timer, parts of the experience can feel dull, prime example being the infinity mode in 1 and sandbox in 2. Everything in the first two games are built around the timer system, and it has the player have to think about how to best deal with it. It also enforces that “everything is a weapon” because you have to balance between strong weapons and weapons that clear out hordes the fastest. It’s all about that tension, that to the wire moments you have, and it gives a greater sense of urgency to both gameplay and even the story. If you’re not quick enough you’ll have to make the tough calls at times, but surprisingly you can do everything in one run, hard as it is. Taking it out of 4 was streamlining the series hard for us OG fans, even though it was meant to “go back to its roots,” and it seemed like the more appealing the series tried to become by getting rid of or simplifying its core mechanics, the less interesting and more generic the games are. Even though it’s the central focus, Dead Rising was never about just killing zombies, and DR4 is a prime example of what happens when that’s all the developers seem to focus on.
@@sharkjira9142 That doesn't mean there is no possibility of it happening. It could always be headed by another company. Besides, there's a new Timesplitters game coming, and no one thought that would happen.
This review was really stupid and inconsistent. First, how is the game goofy? Dead Rising 1's story is very serious and most of the comedy comes from the player dressing up in silly ways, where as the story is played straight. The only examples of comedy I can think of is with Stephen and even then it's more of a black comedy than anything else. Second saying the game is scary is something I also disagree with. The music, the cutscenes, the way it frames the tragedy of the psychopaths and the games main antagonist, not only is it disturbing seeing someone like Adam or Cliff latch on to the last thing they had before the outbreak but also shows how much is affected them to change them into those people. Also the breakdown that Frank has at the end is pretty nerve wrecking. Personally this review is awful and doesn't do the game justice.
I remember getting the megaman buster cannon. It was such a chore! But it was fun being megaman in this game. Loved it years ago when I owned the game.
@@gray9818 I get that, but I feel like you need a better excuse than that if you're gonna fight anyone in Marvel vs Capcom. Except Phoenix Wright you don't really need an excuse to go toe to toe with him.
One of the first 360 games I owned. Its janky, its weird, and it has quite a few problems, but I absolutely adore this game. Such a unique experience that, outside of Dead Rising 2, hasn't been duplicated since
Oh, Jirard. Tremendous, as always! A Happy Halloween to you and everyone else at the studio! Honestly, I worry that the stress of these sorts of proverbial nightmares are taking an accumulative toll on your... I don't know... your "essence". Take care of yourself and keep pursuing what brings you fulfillment!
I just got the Dead Rising Remaster or Remake on Xbox one about 3 days ago on sale. The first day I had it downloaded I tried for the Zombie Genocider award and spent nearly 6 hours earning the stupid thing. Then I tried to kill the last 16 hours I had left in game by completing the "assist Brad" mission in the food court. Went through the whole first case file, forgot to save, and when it completed, it killed my save since the scoop was lost. I reloaded and it set my Zombie kill counter back to 25,000 zombies. I was so fucking furious I almost pitched my controller across the room but buckled down and earned the achievement and megaman buster a second time around
I'm with you on this one, completing Dead Rising is one of the most frustrating things I ever did, right after multiplayer trophies. Especially with the game breaking bugs. The constant fear and presure of running into a game breaking bug isn't making this any easier. But the worst thing, THE ABSOLUTE WORST THING is loosing 10+ hours because of bugs. Boys, Girls, do yourself a favor and don't even think about completing Dead Rising, it's not worth it.
I can feel you on this one Jirard, if only somewhat. After making it through the game the first time I thought "Hey I want to try saving every survivor. It'll be fun!" Oh boy was I wrong. Even getting the dual chainsaws and the three books that boost their durability and being in New Game+ (higher starting level), it was one of the few times I was made so angry by a game that I actually bit my controller, leaving teeth marks in frustration. For me, what really killed the experience was the survivor AI and pathfinding being VERY rough which, combined with time pressures, led to one particular instance where I had three other survivors I had to get back to the saferoom and had to go down a pretty large stairwell. Every time the stairs changed directions, at least one survivor would get stuck running in place on the railing, failing to turn the corner and go down the next set of stairs. If this happened even a few times, I would run out of time on another mission and have to restart. I also couldn't take my time because of said time pressure. So I was there for hours just trying over and over again to babysit these three survivors down a single stairwell successfully. And it's for THAT reason that I loved Dead Rising 1 (casually), but have never gone back to it. Which kind of sucked because I wouldn't get the same kind of feel I had with DR being a silly playground through and through with the sequel. Don't get me wrong, I like Chuck Green and I appreciate that they put together a fairly competent storyline but it just lost a lot of that extreme B-movie hilarity that the first game had. Then Off the Record came out and I was happy again.
Dead Rising was the first time I remember thinking ‘this wouldn’t have been possible on the PS2 or Xbox’. It’s such a good game.
Wow this is so true thinking about it wtf now we say that for a lot of games cause it’s really obvious but back then I don’t think we really thought about those things when the Ps3 and Xbox 360 were released

Never got the chance to play the DeadRising series as a kid, mainly because I was a kid at the time and thought it was a scary game. I'm glad I got to watch you replay this on stream as it was definitely a fun experience.
i truly despise the survivors being downright stupid and getting stuck on things
My Experience with Dead Rising:
The year was 2006. October to be exact. I had just got my xbox 360 a few months earlier when Oblivion launched. At the end of October i was set to ship out to Army Basic Training. I spent those 3 weeks leading up to my deployment playing Dead Rising and loving every second of it. The day i left i let my best friend borrow my xbox360 and this game while i was gone. Good times. Fond memories.
This game is so good it makes me cry. It’s so fucking amazing. If there was only one game I was allowed to play for the rest of my life, it would be Dead Rising.
I could talk about this game for hours. From the amazing graphics (at the time) to the amazing story. The perfect blend of horror, comedy and drama. The unreal attention to detail. Everything about it.
This game seems to be way ahead of its time! I just finished it for the first time and cannot believe i hadnt played it before. Its the perfect and quintessential zombie game imo. It hits all the points of what a zombie story should be and what a videogame should be. If runs werent so long it could be the best arcade game of all time! I dunno haha i just love this game now

That’s great to hear! I’m glad you really liked it! It’s such a good game. It’s absolutely unforgettable in the best possible way.
This is thee one game I’ve been waiting for him to complete again. The original dead rising is one of my all time faves.
This and Lolipop Chiansaw wereone of my favorites.
Frank West's "Faaantastic" is almost as iconic as Phoenix Wrights "OBJECTION!!"
The original Dead Rising is still one of my favorite games of all time, and I hate escort quests and the pressure of time limits, which this game is full of, but even those parts of it I love because it's what makes Dead Rising what it is. I disagree with a lot of the criticisms, but I understand it's not for everyone.
I flip flop between the first and second Dead Risings. Replay them around the winter holidays. DR2: Off the record? That’d be cool to see.
@@larelare1 Yes the second is great as well, has some extra polish, some changes I didn't like but overall great. Honestly haven't played OTR yet, I meant to play it a few times but never felt quite in the mood for it. Might do it soon though, since I'm upgrading my PC to something that can actually play games.
I had to agree with him. For me when I played it back as a rental it bored me. I had trouble figuring out where I was supposed to go and the "time" restraint discouraged my exploration. The games chalk full of timed quests and moronic AI to rescue and after a while it got tedious. For me I rank it at donate it, but hey I respect your opinion
@@27Bayleefs The timer is the core of the game, it was designed around that timer, I believe that if the timer was removed then exploration would feel meaningless. Dead Rising 4 removed the timer and escort quests, and it is a terribly generic game, because those elements are what make Dead Rising what it is.
I don't believe it's for everyone, but it doesn't need to be, trying to make the game appeal to everyone is why Dead Rising 4 failed so badly.
Btw I believe there is a mod for the game that allows you to freeze the timer, giving you plenty of time to explore. Or alternatively Dead Rising 3 has a time limit but it's much more lenient.
@@remulaevergaze5342 I agree that games should not appeal to everyone. But for me, the timer ruined it. I wanted to explore this mall from top to bottom and sadly you can't do that due to time restraints. It takes multiple playthroughs to do everything and it just kills the enjoyment as the charm wears off real fast.
One of the first reviews that helped me find your channel back in the day.
God I loved this so much ❤️🔥
Thank you not only for such a comperehensive look at the original Dead Rising, but also a killer Chili Recipe. Good on ya, Jirard. Also, Banana 😁
Such a underrated gem, I remember when my dad introduced this gem back when I was 8 and I’m so glad he did, since then I played a good amount of zombies games for the 8 years but none of them can’t compared to the uniqueness and amazing gameplay of dead rising, how everything and anything can be used as a weapon. Thanks capcom for making dead rising a part of my childhood
Man, this was one of my favorites, bought it twice on 360 and steam. Did Saint but never did the 5 to 7 day cheevos though. It was my first experience with next gen and I really loved the character progression and bosses, I also enjoyed the time limits.
Still my favorite of the entire series, felt the most pure and experimental as opposed to caving to criticism in the sequels.
I remember staying up late watching Dawn of the Dead over and over again to get "ready" for this game when it came out. I played the absolute hell out of this game.
The Infinite mode achievements of surviving X days were the worst. I had to wake up at like 7AM during summer vacation to survive long enough for the 7 day survivor. And for the 14 day survivor achievement, the game crashed at 13 days.
EDIT: Maybe it was 5 Day / 7 Day survivor not 7 / 14. Sure felt like 14.
Yeah there was a food court bug that would crash the game mode after like day 2 or 3. What a bummer setup, that’s where the food is!
It's only 7 days max for achievements, which equates to 14 hours.
20 games left already?
*Skyrim intensifies.*
I think you undersell the horror of this first game. I think it definitely has a sufficient amount of horror
Dead Rising is a masterpiece, I had the chop till you drop version originally. Its one of my most replayed games
I remember this so fondly. This game will always be remembered by the HD transition at the time. And my dumb baby self with a TV that I couldn't read the HD text on....Good times
Dead rising was one the best zombie games I played back in the day on the xbox 360. Once in a while I always 100% game because it's just so fun. Love dead rising 2 and off the record as well.
There's nothing more terrifying that i can think of than dying in infinite mode nearing the finish line, it gives me heebie jeebies.
It's amazing how much detail was steadily dropped over the course of the series. DR3 wasn't too bad but 4 just wasnt the same!
I completely understand why people can hate timers. You want to explore, take things in, don’t want to feel punished for taking your time. And yet, I absolutely *adore* the idea that the story can just go completely past you if you aren’t there for it.
It would take a lot of effort but I’d like to see more games tackle the idea. Branching paths in case you miss something crucial. Like in Heavy Rain if you miss a clue that reveals information that would help you later, how could it play out without you having it? Or how in Morrowind it lets you kill key story characters but you can continue knowing you’ve affected the outcome.
A straight game over tells you “yeah you missed something, go back”, but it’s cool to me that you can keep going and have to deal with the consequences. Dead Rising still impresses me.
Wtf are you talking about.. the story in this game is actually a lot deeper and thought provoking than it has any right to be. It’s freaking epic!
Exactly! one of best stories in a zombie game this guy he doesn't know shit haha
Extra PP for anger!
This game is a classic. Not for the casuals like the sequels. The only Dead Rising I still play to this day
@@EpsiIonEagle Idk man, I really don't like how you have to bring Katey Zombrex every 24 hours. As easy as it sounds, I actually had trouble since I usually find myself in the middle of a mission about to expire and realize I'm too far to get back on time.
And I found Off the Record easier since I don't need to be somewhere at a certain time in the middle of a mission.
@@KaRyu-zm2wf That's Dead Rising 2. I didn't like it
This series is supper underrated, and I wish we’d get a 5th installment in the form of possibly a reboot, bring our old Frank back
This episode was ... Fantastic!
DR1 never gets enough credit for its writing and VA. Psychopaths aside, every character in the main plot feels like a believable, real person. No silly Hollywood heroics or dumb horror movie decisions, and I think it was a smart move to give everyone a very average joe appearance. None of the sequels recaptured that feeling of normal people being thrown together in a crazy situation
Really love this game. Apart from the survivors' dodgy AI, I personally found it pretty easy. Even 7 day survivor, while a chore, was annoying mainly due to boredom rather than difficulty (with the mega buster). But if you have a break now and then while it's paused, anyone can grab the platinum fairly easily.
Thanks for sharing the experience & tips for how to get through this tough game for me
It was an after school favorite but I struggled getting through the bosses . . But I enjoyed the FANTASTIC premise of zombie near free roam
Was waiting for you to re-complete this game again. ^^
I could never do what you do. When I play games I play till I'm bored then leave it untill I feel like coming back and enjoying it all over again. Sitting down to 100% a game just seems like hell on earth.
Damn I remember getting this on launch, I was so puzzled on what to do... It felt so hectic and all over the place, I just wanted to slash zombies!
Then getting the extended game and all stuff was such a experience without any guides, fun stuff to rewatch!
I think it's got a good social commentary with the livestock story and the Santa cabeza plot but I could be biased I love the first game lol
Watching this makes me want to eat a Banana😊.
Also always thought this one was super interesting but never actually got around to playing it. Always glad to see it done vicariously.
This video was FANTASTIC, and a joy to watch as always. Still wish I could of played this game way back when, but I can definitely see why it'd be a nightmare to complete. Keep up the great work, Capn.
Is that a shirt with Knack on it that says “Vapes”?
Does your shirt imply that Knack vapes because if so I need it?
Watching Jirard complete this game over twitch was probably the best experience I've ever had on it.
7 Day survivor wasn’t meant to be easy! I’m sick of people complaining about. How bout praise the game for being original and actually challenging the player. You don’t see achievements like that anymore
And you saying there’s so many game breaking bugs is so misleading. Unless it’s just a PS4 issue. I just replayed this game on Xbox One and didnt have a single bug or game crash.
I really like how each of the bosses have their own individual theme songs.
Banana :), as per you request.
Banana :)
It's always nice when Jirard is wearing that vibrant Shantae t-shirt.
It was a blast to see this live, also.
>complains nonstop about bugs and crashes the whole video
>reveals at the end he never ran into any bugs or crashes
??????????????????????????????
Yeah, i found it odd that 90% of the video is just him complaining about infinite mode and bugs instead of actually talking about the gameplay or story, you know, like a review is supposed to.
I have played dead rising on multiple platforms so many times and cannot think of a single bug that had a big effect on gameplay. Or really many bugs at all. Tbh this guy, like many, probably was just frustrated with how hard the game is. They don't make em like they used to
@@jackgunderson9442 The game is only hard til you get access to the gun shop and Adams Mini Chainsaws, then the game is a breeze lol, and even before then the game really isn't all that difficult.
8:30 J: “two of the largest-“
Me: “hehe”
J: “-goals of the genre”
Me: “oh”
I hate timers. I especially hate being rushed when the game gives you every incentive to take your time and just have fun. Unfortunately, this might be a minority opinion, as most fans seem to think the timer is crucial to the series. I think DR4’s lack of a timer was its one great benefit. Shame everything else about it sucked.
I guess some Dead Rising fans like the challenge that having a limited amount of time presents to the player. To be honest, I think Dead Rising 2 is a lot more lenient. For the next Dead Rising game, they should have two modes. One with a timer and one without a timer. That way, they can please everyone.
As a fan since the original game, the reason why so many of us like the timers and were upset they got taken away in 4 was because it’s one of the things that made Dead Rising unique. Without a timer, parts of the experience can feel dull, prime example being the infinity mode in 1 and sandbox in 2. Everything in the first two games are built around the timer system, and it has the player have to think about how to best deal with it. It also enforces that “everything is a weapon” because you have to balance between strong weapons and weapons that clear out hordes the fastest. It’s all about that tension, that to the wire moments you have, and it gives a greater sense of urgency to both gameplay and even the story. If you’re not quick enough you’ll have to make the tough calls at times, but surprisingly you can do everything in one run, hard as it is. Taking it out of 4 was streamlining the series hard for us OG fans, even though it was meant to “go back to its roots,” and it seemed like the more appealing the series tried to become by getting rid of or simplifying its core mechanics, the less interesting and more generic the games are. Even though it’s the central focus, Dead Rising was never about just killing zombies, and DR4 is a prime example of what happens when that’s all the developers seem to focus on.
@@jamesedleymusic There's not going to be a next Dead Rising game, the developers Capcom Vancouver shut downed and cancelled future series.
@@sharkjira9142 That doesn't mean there is no possibility of it happening. It could always be headed by another company. Besides, there's a new Timesplitters game coming, and no one thought that would happen.
@@jamesedleymusic Well, let’s see how many years it will take for it to come back. It’s been a while and there hasn’t been a word on the franchise.
I remember me and all my friends loved this game. I can admit it was a product of a decade ago now.
This video was great, I’m gonna go have a Banana
*scratches head* I'm completing all of these games in a row, and I still think they're the greatest games ever
This review was really stupid and inconsistent.
First, how is the game goofy? Dead Rising 1's story is very serious and most of the comedy comes from the player dressing up in silly ways, where as the story is played straight. The only examples of comedy I can think of is with Stephen and even then it's more of a black comedy than anything else.
Second saying the game is scary is something I also disagree with. The music, the cutscenes, the way it frames the tragedy of the psychopaths and the games main antagonist, not only is it disturbing seeing someone like Adam or Cliff latch on to the last thing they had before the outbreak but also shows how much is affected them to change them into those people. Also the breakdown that Frank has at the end is pretty nerve wrecking.
Personally this review is awful and doesn't do the game justice.
Jirard you’re the man! I loved this game. Thanks for the episode👍🏼!
The erotica was hilarious idk what your on about
I remember getting the megaman buster cannon. It was such a chore! But it was fun being megaman in this game. Loved it years ago when I owned the game.
Anyone else having deja-vu? didn't he do this already/
"Dropping off the hapless photojournalist" uh excuse you, he's covered wars you know
And that's Frank's only justification for doing anything dangerous.
@@thecommonman9524 It's the only one needed
@@gray9818 I get that, but I feel like you need a better excuse than that if you're gonna fight anyone in Marvel vs Capcom. Except Phoenix Wright you don't really need an excuse to go toe to toe with him.
First
You beat me by 11 seconds congrats
9th
One of the first 360 games I owned. Its janky, its weird, and it has quite a few problems, but I absolutely adore this game. Such a unique experience that, outside of Dead Rising 2, hasn't been duplicated since
You know why you channel is starting to die? Because this kind of attitude.
Love the thumbnail! Without a doubt one of my favorites in the series!
Oh, Jirard. Tremendous, as always! A Happy Halloween to you and everyone else at the studio!
Honestly, I worry that the stress of these sorts of proverbial nightmares are taking an accumulative toll on your... I don't know... your "essence".
Take care of yourself and keep pursuing what brings you fulfillment!
Frank proving that dad bod was the hottest new trend in creating thirst way back in the mid 2000's
To be Frank with you this episode was fantastic
I just got the Dead Rising Remaster or Remake on Xbox one about 3 days ago on sale. The first day I had it downloaded I tried for the Zombie Genocider award and spent nearly 6 hours earning the stupid thing. Then I tried to kill the last 16 hours I had left in game by completing the "assist Brad" mission in the food court. Went through the whole first case file, forgot to save, and when it completed, it killed my save since the scoop was lost. I reloaded and it set my Zombie kill counter back to 25,000 zombies. I was so fucking furious I almost pitched my controller across the room but buckled down and earned the achievement and megaman buster a second time around
We must acknowledge the fact that he finally unlocked 7 day survivor at 5 am and (from what I could see) in 15 days of gameplay 16:15. mad respect
I'm with you on this one, completing Dead Rising is one of the most frustrating things I ever did, right after multiplayer trophies. Especially with the game breaking bugs.
The constant fear and presure of running into a game breaking bug isn't making this any easier.
But the worst thing, THE ABSOLUTE WORST THING is loosing 10+ hours because of bugs. Boys, Girls, do yourself a favor and don't even think about completing Dead Rising, it's not worth it.
To me this game will go down in history as the reason to get a TV with HDMI since it was basically unplayable on the old tube tvs
I can feel you on this one Jirard, if only somewhat. After making it through the game the first time I thought "Hey I want to try saving every survivor. It'll be fun!" Oh boy was I wrong. Even getting the dual chainsaws and the three books that boost their durability and being in New Game+ (higher starting level), it was one of the few times I was made so angry by a game that I actually bit my controller, leaving teeth marks in frustration. For me, what really killed the experience was the survivor AI and pathfinding being VERY rough which, combined with time pressures, led to one particular instance where I had three other survivors I had to get back to the saferoom and had to go down a pretty large stairwell. Every time the stairs changed directions, at least one survivor would get stuck running in place on the railing, failing to turn the corner and go down the next set of stairs. If this happened even a few times, I would run out of time on another mission and have to restart. I also couldn't take my time because of said time pressure. So I was there for hours just trying over and over again to babysit these three survivors down a single stairwell successfully. And it's for THAT reason that I loved Dead Rising 1 (casually), but have never gone back to it. Which kind of sucked because I wouldn't get the same kind of feel I had with DR being a silly playground through and through with the sequel. Don't get me wrong, I like Chuck Green and I appreciate that they put together a fairly competent storyline but it just lost a lot of that extreme B-movie hilarity that the first game had. Then Off the Record came out and I was happy again.
