Friends, let me admit something up top.
I am the most tedious ofDead Risingapologists.
I love its in-game timer.
Hell, I even like its severely stripped down Wii port.
For the first time in my life, I think I might be right about something.
I guess Dead Rising is the antithesis of the modern day open world action game?
Where contemporary titles focus on player choice, Dead Rising sort of does the opposite.
you’re free to only save in certain places.
Skills and upgrades are tied to player levels.
But guess what, fucko!
Dont be rude, Frank.
And yet, surrounding this is one of most complete and dynamic spaces ever featured in a video game.
Its startlingly antagonistic in a way that feels absurdly unique in 2022.
I cant see it happening, sadly.
A bit too abrasive these days, perhaps.
Thankfully, the original game is widely available and can now be played portably on Valves wonderful handheld.
I will, however, concede that the survivor AI is piss.
For the record, they fixed it in the Wii version.
No, Im not joking.
I hate that I know that.
