It does concern me that the one issue that they addressed from the video happened to be the very first thing shown in it, especially considering that there were other, much more major issues to address.

That last one is a pretty blatant attempt to address one of the many complaints as seen in the excellent CrowbCat video that compared DR4 with the original 2006 Dead Rising. Enhanced enemy AI, new photography and survivor missions, usable Maniac weapons, and some minor reactive animations to the corpses of zombies when attacked have been added. There have been a handful of updates to the main campaign, as previously stated, but nothing I would consider game changing. As such, I won’t be covering the content that was originally included with Dead Rising 4, as we already covered that in a review. If you did not like Dead Rising 4 when it came out last year, you will not like this release of it either.

I figured I should get that out of the way, in case anyone reading was hoping for something more, like a complete redesign. There’s a handful of small tweaks and updates, but the grand majority is the same. If what you’ve played or heard about Dead Rising 4 had turned you off to its original release last year, you should know that very few changes have been made to the main game.

While also available for the game’s original release platforms (Xbox and PC), the Package brings Dead Rising 4 to PS4 systems for the first time as well.įirst, a disclaimer. Truth be told, I disliked the game so much I haven’t touched it since, despite numerous updates and extra episodes and modes being added in.Ī year later, Dead Rising 4 has returned with Frank’s Big Package, a re-release that includes not only all previously released DLC, but also an entirely new mode. I found myself alienated by a game that radically tried to fix something that - pure and simple - wasn’t broken. These changes were seen by most as not only being unwanted, but as making the game almost aggressively inferior in comparison with the previous titles in the series. Dead Rising 4 was an incredibly polarizing game, quickly becoming somewhat infamous for massive changes to both the formula and characters of the franchise. If you missed out on the game when it originally released, it was probably either because it had (until now) skipped PlayStation 4, or because … well, you heard about it.

Dead Rising 4 is back, for better or worse.
