Features from Dead Rising 2?

[Aya]

I guess there's really only one that matters though. Wonder if Frank is gonna bring duct tape to a zombie outbreak like Chuck did in DR2.

In my opinion, the combo weapons was an idea great on paper, but it was one of the things that ruined Dead Rising's appeal.

If you were there when the first one was released, the most compelling feature of the game was the fact that you were in a shopping mall using regular objects, every day appliances and merchandise to defend yourself. You were, for the most part, not using weapons.

That was the fun of it.. try on the ordinary stuff to kill zombies. Some of them were even useless but they included anyway.

The combo weapons quickly took away the charm of the game. The baseball bet with nails became the default weapon on your inventory because they made that available right outside the safe house...

Then there was non sense to make an actually lightsaber with jewels and a flashlight.

Bringing a western developer to make Dead Rising was a mistake. They never really grasp what made the original so special and bit by bit they ran the franchise into the ground with more and more ridiculous over the top nonsense.

Capcom got it right on the first place and had this perfect balance between horror and comedy.

Let's just forget DR ever got sequels. Dead Rising 1 is the only 1. I hope Capcom wipe the state clean and develop a new canon with Frank West from this point on.

Moving around while aiming is the one feature from DR2 I wanted and it's in, so I'm good.

Maybe the survivor AI would be easier to navigate like Dead Rising 2? And an autosave option that could work like a checkpoint system like the one from Dead Rising 2 Off the Record

Yes, both of those things are confirmed.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Giving Dead Rising to Western developers after Dead Rising 1 was a massive ♥♥♥♥-up and I'm glad that almost twenty years later we're finally getting something new with Japanese devs.

How poetic considering the rest of the franchise killed off the ip and the studio that developed it.
