![]() Dead Rising 4, for better or worse, features no countdown. Now, fans of the series will undoubtedly be gearing up to try and beat Vick to the story in a set amount of time, say, oh I don’t know, 72 hours? Well, they would be dead wrong, I am afraid. The story is obviously nothing original, but it does offer some truly funny moments, mainly courtesy of our wise-cracking photojournalist hero. In return for his help, Frank is promised to have his name cleared and to get the exclusive story, but Vick is already there trying to figure out just what is going on in Willamette, again. After this, Frank’s image as a national hero is somewhat tainted, so he is convinced by the head of the ZDC (Zombie Disease Control) to return to where it all began, Willamette, where a new outbreak has occurred. This obviously doesn’t last long when one of his students (Vick) convinces him to follower her to a secret government facility where there are some unethical zombie experiments going on. Set in 2022, Frank is now a college professor trying to live out the rest of his days in peace. But yes, Frank is back, and it is back to Willamette for everyone’s favourite photojournalist. Yes, Frank was playable in Dead Rising 2’s DLC, but as the main character, Frank is by far the stronger one compared to Chuck Greene or Nick Ramos. I have never really understood Capcom’s thought process of excluding Frank from the other two entries. This freedom has lead to Dead Rising becoming a popular franchise, and after a year of being an Xbox exclusive, Dead Rising 4 has made its way onto the PlayStation 4 in a BIG way.ĭead Rising 4 puts you (FINALLY!) back in control of series hero Frank West. Hundreds of zombies were at your disposal to dispatch in any method you saw fit. Dead Rising was first released all the way back in 2006 (that is slightly depressing) and showed the undead in a different light. Where most zombie outlets portray the living dead as a fearsome advisory and a bleak look into humanity’s future, there is one video game series that takes a slightly different approach. Simply put, zombies are here to stay, and there seems to be no dwindling in their popularity. The TV adaptation of The Walking Dead is still as popular as ever, new zombie films are a dime a dozen on platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime (with some actually being quite good) and of course, Zombie mode also made its return to this year’s instalment of Call of Duty. The living dead are very much still alive and kicking in 2017.
