Ahh, I waited months for this, pre-ordered it, played the demo to death. Then on release day I skipped college, rushed home and stuck it in my 360. Which immediately red-ringed.
I like Dead Rising because is all gritty and serious but then the gameplay the player can do the most wacky shit. Like: "Yes, I will protect my daughter from the zombie and psycho, bu first le me put a f***ing adult tiger in the same room with her".
It's a game that's only as serious as we allow it to be ♡ Want Frank to go thru his game beginning to end 100% serious? Can do Want him in a sundress in nice heels as he wears a ServBot helmet? Can do equally as much That's one part of it's magic after all
Exactly why I play Hitman. Take down the targets for the horrendous stuff they do… by elaborately getting him to get sent into the ocean by a giant marlin trophy while his guard is throwing up.
I felt very proud dressed as a ninja, getting my daughter a pet tiger in a zombie apocalypse. Between Dead Riding 2 and Saints Row 2 I had a lot of unhinged fun back then
Dead Rising 1 set up the ‘Carlito Orphans’ plot line Dead Rising 2 set up the ‘Phenotrans Outbreak Manipulation for Profit’ plot line Dead Rising 3 then concluded both by having the main character be the cure to the zombie plague, and then having Isabela basically be a self-centered, self-proclaimed hero, obligating herself to working with Phenotrans to start the Los Perididos outbreak, find Number 12, use his blood for a cure and clear her own name and separating herself from her deceased brother. But gosh, the character motives for each playable character were all over the place. You had Frank West who simply wanted to cash in a chance at fame by covering the Willamette outbreak and coining it as ‘The Willamette Incident’ and getting his five or so years of fame. Then, Chuck Greene came along and simply just wanted to clear his name from being the one who started the Fortune City outbreak and pinning it on T.K. afterwards. Finally, you have Nick who just wants to leave Los Perididos, but gets roped into the whole thing of his blood being the cure and deciding last minute to be a hero and do some good.
I don’t really see those differing perspectives as a bad thing, it’s kind of nice that each entry showcases a unique personality to a degree alongside their goals.
@@bulletcola7890 Agreed. Honestly I'm disappointed that they didn't do more of this. DR1 has Frank West, a photojournalist, he has a unique gameplay mechanic around taking photos. DR2 has Chuck Greene, a motocross champ, he has a unique gameplay mechanic around combo weapons. Time for DR3, we have new character Nick Ramos. I can't wait to see what unique profession and gameplay mechanic he's going to bring to the tab- Huh? He's a mechanic again? He does combo weapons again? Oh okay. No creativity or uiniqueness here. :(
Sgt. Boykin showed better emotion than most characters in recent AAA games. Also, poor guy; the one time his character type is heroic still ends up getting screwed.
Is he really heroic though? Unless I'm misinterpreting he's basically part of one of the same squads the pharmasutical company/US was using to cover up other earlier outbreaks right?
Get the real mega buster or the remake it makes the game much easier 😂, you could also try leveling up to level 50 cuz that makes the game easier as well
Y'know, 4 being a sequel to Off The Record makes a lot of sense. It's just as absurd as OTR was, including the more fantastical elements. Also, 4 wasn't the only time Capcom locked the true ending of a game behind a paywall. Looking at you, Asura's Wrath.
Let’s not forget Case West being the true ending of DR2 and Case zero being the origin story, I believe those two Games were cheaper than Frank Rising tho
@@UltimateGamer-ps9bv Case West is weird because it's not really the true ending of DR2. It's more like... What if they decided Chuck's Overtime mode wasn't canon, rewrite ending A so that Chuck survives with Frank's help and then Chuck suddenly has no evidence that he wasn't the bad guy, even though the original ending A was that Chuck had the evidence and that's how he was able to call a news station to send a helicopter to pick everyone up, so now Chuck has to go with Frank to investigate a scoop. Case West is good, but the way they tied it to DR2 was bonkers. I wish they would have just stuck with DR2's original ending and have the redeemed Chuck seek out Frank because he's still pissed about being framed. Or maybe the evidence Chuck found during the DR2 outbreak wasn't good enough, so he asks Frank for help finding more? Something like that. They could have done it without taking a mini-chainsaw to DR2's endings.
i had no idea how much lore there was for this series (and it's one of my faves that i've always WANTED to know more about), so seeing this video from you was the unexpected highlight of my week! nearly 2 hours of pure brilliance, thanks for this
Probably impossible to create a Santa cabeza dead rising as the plot can be predicted without playing the game. 1) Carlito and Isabela find out about the infection and why it was started. 2) Carlito and Isabela have their close friends/family die to the zombies 3) Carlito and Isabela fight off resistance i.e the zombies or the people trying to turn them into zombies/psychopaths. 4) Carlito and Isabela escape Santa cabeza and at the end of the game it's revealed they're escaping to Willamette. Additionally there is only one possible ending, which is Carlito and Isabela surviving and escaping. The only thing that the Santa cabeza game achieves is providing more depth on Carlito and why he became a terrorist.
@@Enthusiast230 I still think it would be cool to see the events the prelude the series, I would qualify the "one possible ending" being the "A Ending" for that potential prequel, I'd be very interested to see what B to F scenarios could of happened in Santa Cabeza.

It would also be difficult to create endings as the canon ending of the game is already well established.

@@Sir_Slimbread see I'd rather have a new game after the remake of dr1. I like 2 and I would play a remake of that as well but I really hope they prioritise a new game. Not every series needs the remake treatment for all the games like Resident Evil
Thank you for the great video ! Being terrified by zombie when i was young i never played those games, and i remember the advertisement being so centered on the "have fun destroying zombies" aspect that i had no idea the story was actually that interesting (working well with the time mechanic!) and the univers so fleshed out !

Correction 19:09, Brad was basically eaten up by the zombies but didnt turn into a zombie. If i remember correctly, Frank takes Brads gun and pops him because brad didnt want to turn
Wait wait wait. Shadow of rome was a precursor to Dead rising. Fuck man i love that game. After spartan total warrior on gamecube that was my second favourite game im a massive history nerd probably even more so when i was young so i was looking for any game i could play as a spartan or roman. So cool to know some other people remember that great game. I never fully finished it being about 7 when i was playing it. Always got stuck on the stealth bits. But man. Seeing you do a vid on it will be awesome
@GamingHarryYT what's your favourite level. For me it's either the first stealth mission as octavian I loved the hitman vibes of changing clothes. Or the gladiatorial missions later on
The one thing this franchise is consistent (except DR4), thankfully, is how interesting and diverse their main and side characters are, same thing for the psychos and antagonists. It carried on into the live action movies as well, which I was really glad about when I first saw the movies. Nick especially is my favourite because of how unique he is in his naivety and gentleness, he is a kind and big softie with a good heart who pulls through his fears to save himself and people around him.
Out of the 3 protagonists, I think nick has my favorite progression character wise. He starts out as a scared guy about to piss himself when threatened into a genuine zombie killing gadget building badass. Also Dick is a genuine homie, with him being player 2s character he shows up everywhere
I think Dead Rising 4 is a good game, but I can get behind it not being canon. I feel like it could definitely be in the Off the Record Timeline(like you suggested), but it could also be in the Timeline where Chuck Escapes on the Helicopter causing him to never meet Frank, which could've caused Frank to not get into the Lab(or got in, got caught, and that led into his life being worse, and him getting jaded). It be cool to get an Alt Timeline Dead Rising Video at some point just to try and make sense of it.
Hey, Harry -- I only ever got to experience Dead Rising 2, unfortunately, and not very much of it. This dive was very welcome, and gave me an appreciation for what I thought was a pretty ridiculous premise when I first played DR2. I loved learning the story of this franchise, and am looking forward to possibly picking up and experiencing these games down the line. Your argument for the canonicity of DR4 is interesting -- I'd love to see a deeper dive into that game specifically down the line.
Weirdly remember dead rising case zero being one of the first decent 400 Microsoft point games and it was basically a demo for dead rising 2 and it was so cool
Personally never been as big of a zombie fan as a lot of other people, even as a kid. This isn’t to say I didn’t like them, because I did, I simply wasn’t THAT into them, so I didn’t really play that much Dead Rising back in the day. Even then, I still have fond memories of it because it successfully managed to be scary (for a kid) what with all the undead running around, and hilarious at the same time. That was, I think, the first moment I started realizing comedy and horror can go hand in hand incredibly well, even though they represent almost opposite emotions
i'm enclined to agree with you, bro. my thought was what if they took the story of DR1 still then jumped to the frank west version of DR2 - off the record and then, that reality's DR3 is actually DR4 to all of us. an alternate reality is not unheard of. good recap. keep it up.
As someone from germany, where all the Dead Rising games are forbidden and you can't buy them anywhere, but who's still a big fan, I love to watch nearly every videos I can find of it, so thanks a ton for this video!! I wish I could finally play them myself 😭
After hearing about the remaster is being developed I wanted to to revisit the game but in backwards 😅 so from tomorrow i am gonna start from 3 to all the way to 1 and you drop your video 😆 what a timing
Just started playing the original while waiting to be able to buy the deluxe remaster, I forgot how hard the game can be but it still is really fun. Thanks for another amazing story video!
Great recap! But was there any reason you didn't cover the "Chaos Rising" DLC for DR3? (the one where you play as the gang leader). IIRC not much of consequence happens in it but its a noticeable omission.
I've watched so many UA-camrs and their gaming stories/lore vids. Noone comes close to the quality of Harry. Well done , Harry. Just wish you'd put more content out but I get it.....quality over quantity Edit for spelling
GamingHarry did it again! Another Story So Far....vid! What game are you gonna do next? Can it be Dishonored? Edit: Also i like how you're showing the Psychos in DR2 some highlight. And ive noticed that you didnt pointed out the most helpful shortcut in the game, but at least you've shown who you're gonna need to save to get it though
Y'know. It would be interesting if you can cover thr theories or inconsistencies as to why some titles are not favored as canon by fans. I've been reading the main story of 1-3 back then but never checked the spinoffs/dlc
I've gotta ask with emphasis on "looks" by why does Frank West have to look like if Larry Lovage from *_Leisure Suite Larry: Magna Come Laude_* if he got a graphical upgrade in the Dead Rising Remaster? You take a photo of Larry and Frank in the Helicopter and the similarity it's oddly alike.. Sure you get the "Frank West 2006" Costume for pre-ordering but they should've just taken that and upscaled it. Nitpick aside I can't wait to jump back into Willamette and Shop and Chop till I Drop. Thank you Harry for providing us with lore in order and maybe as a one-off you can do Bugsnax for the heck of it!
@@stinnetbennet Brother, the age of consent in Palestine is the same as the US. The only difference is they have it where men need to be 18. Why do you think this is a gotcha? 😂
"4? Well, not that one. Therefore, this video WON'T cover the 4th game, as I don't believe it's canon." 3 ended with them finding a cure or a vaccine to make everyone immune. A 4 didn't need to exist unless they were going to decide to make some kind of commentary on anti-vaxxers, but they didn't. They just went "uhm what if Willamette again and a guy we're calling Frank West even though he's not Frank West lolololololol"
Tehsnakerer covered a pretty decent explanation for why DR4 flopped. This explanation, in-universe, makes a lot more sense by rejecting it's canonicity.
As usual I enjoyed the new video immensely. Dead rising 1, 2, and OTR all hold a special place in my heart, shame the series fell so far. Idk if they can capture that same magic again, but if they could make a new game that stands out as much as the 1st did, they would do well I think.
great video, all the side games like case zero had me confused before but makes sense now. I am interested in hearing about number 4 as a stand-alone video but I understand the reasoning as to why you wouldn't include it here.
Dead Rising 4, command and conquer 4 & the 3rd Birthday for Parasite Eve- are so incongruent to their established narratives that being honest I wish they’d all just get binned. Killing franchise and the narrative so badly it takes a remaster to bring life back to a franchise.
In Dead Rising: Off The Record there's a version of the Terror is Reality song full and updated version of it. I wish they could update it and make a lot of Dead Rising Official Soundtracks. "Terror Is Reality." Quote from the song itself.
@@wajmgirlthey also removed any mentions of Cliff's Vietnam War backstory too. Which is a shame since he's one of the more interesting Psychopaths in the series.
PLEASE do all of halo next time. The gears of war video you did was amazing, but now I would love to hear the story of halo, and YOUR the only one that could do it!
0:34 My first game that I ever got with my Xbox 360 was Forza 3 I think and Halo ODST plus Halo 3 multiplayer bundled with the console cuz it was the launch version of the first Xbox elite consoles back when you still needed to have a Wi-Fi dongle plugged in the back to get Wi-Fi. One of the first games I ever bought used that I can remember buying at least is Dead rising the first one from Cash converters
Honestly, it's a shame we didn't get a game with a major title allowing the player to play as both. Maybe another Dead rising game can have all three protagonists interact like Devil May Cry 5.
@@camerondalton1495 I feel Dick and Annie should have played bigger roles in the story and gameplay. Them also being playable but option to pick. I also have Dick created the first combo vehicle as he's a truck driver and made his own truck. I have Annie make a combo bike from Dead Rising 2 and make her connection being Katey feel a lot more utilized. I also remove the mob boss thing and the love triangle as they were not needed. I make Diego also play a bigger role in the story and have him and Annie fight about the government stuff as while some has bad people, there's also some good people too. I also go deeper into Ronald's backstory and make him feel a lot more tragic and have only captured Isabela as thinking she caused this and was one of the reasons that zombies were created in the first place.
49:05 I never noticed, but did Rebecca Chang leave the safety of her roof to... walk in the middle of the street where mutated zombies just took down a military unit? I know she wants a story, but...
If you bought it on Fanatical just be warned DR4 is not Frank's big Package with all the DLC, its just the base game. So if you want the ending for it, got to fork over your money to capcom.

@GamingHarryYT what's your favourite level. For me it's either the first stealth mission as octavian I loved the hitman vibes of changing clothes. Or the gladiatorial missions later on
@@xXN0SK1LLZXx I always enjoyed the level where you lob the apple at the horse and get a Roman guard to chase an innocent bystander for it 😂
@@GamingHarryYT heheh
Fun fact: Sextus was used as a placeholder enemy in very early prototypes of Dead Rising 1
Man we Gaming Harry fans eating good lately with these uploads!
I’m glad you mentioned the side quests, I hate when lore recaps don’t mention at most the important side quests
The one thing this franchise is consistent (except DR4), thankfully, is how interesting and diverse their main and side characters are, same thing for the psychos and antagonists. It carried on into the live action movies as well, which I was really glad about when I first saw the movies. Nick especially is my favourite because of how unique he is in his naivety and gentleness, he is a kind and big softie with a good heart who pulls through his fears to save himself and people around him.
Out of the 3 protagonists, I think nick has my favorite progression character wise. He starts out as a scared guy about to piss himself when threatened into a genuine zombie killing gadget building badass. Also Dick is a genuine homie, with him being player 2s character he shows up everywhere
I remember spending way too much time on dead rising 1 to get that special weapon. I think it took 50 thousand kills
53,594 exactly.
I think Dead Rising 4 is a good game, but I can get behind it not being canon.
I feel like it could definitely be in the Off the Record Timeline(like you suggested), but it could also be in the Timeline where Chuck Escapes on the Helicopter causing him to never meet Frank, which could've caused Frank to not get into the Lab(or got in, got caught, and that led into his life being worse, and him getting jaded).
It be cool to get an Alt Timeline Dead Rising Video at some point just to try and make sense of it.
I know Frank West isn't a young guy, but why did the remaster make him look like he's in his 60's ?
THANK YOU someone else who openly says DR4 is not canon!
1:29:56 There is nothing funnier that Diego’s scream
I watched that part like 4 times that shit is just too funny.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I spat my drink laughing at how funny the scream is.
It was unexpected but a welcome take.
It's so great 😂
Thanks for the hard work Harry. Was a great watch.
Harry after finally making this video: I've covered games, y'know?
Hey, Harry -- I only ever got to experience Dead Rising 2, unfortunately, and not very much of it. This dive was very welcome, and gave me an appreciation for what I thought was a pretty ridiculous premise when I first played DR2. I loved learning the story of this franchise, and am looking forward to possibly picking up and experiencing these games down the line.
Your argument for the canonicity of DR4 is interesting -- I'd love to see a deeper dive into that game specifically down the line.
They should have done a prequel where you play as carlito in the original outbreak
I’ve been saying this!!! We need a Santa cabeza game
Weirdly remember dead rising case zero being one of the first decent 400 Microsoft point games and it was basically a demo for dead rising 2 and it was so cool
Personally never been as big of a zombie fan as a lot of other people, even as a kid. This isn’t to say I didn’t like them, because I did, I simply wasn’t THAT into them, so I didn’t really play that much Dead Rising back in the day. Even then, I still have fond memories of it because it successfully managed to be scary (for a kid) what with all the undead running around, and hilarious at the same time. That was, I think, the first moment I started realizing comedy and horror can go hand in hand incredibly well, even though they represent almost opposite emotions
i'm enclined to agree with you, bro. my thought was what if they took the story of DR1 still then jumped to the frank west version of DR2 - off the record and then, that reality's DR3 is actually DR4 to all of us. an alternate reality is not unheard of. good recap. keep it up.
Dead Rising 2 will always have a special place in my heart
In today's world I fully believe there will be a group protesting for Zombies rights.
100%
and they'dc ause an outbreak eventually out of desperation.
39:12 You got me completely off guard, well done sir lol
Seriously thank you for your work man
My boy dropped at the right time
I am soooooo excited for this video 🤩
As someone from germany, where all the Dead Rising games are forbidden and you can't buy them anywhere, but who's still a big fan, I love to watch nearly every videos I can find of it, so thanks a ton for this video!! I wish I could finally play them myself 😭
Why can’t you buy them in Germany? That’s shit
After hearing about the remaster is being developed I wanted to to revisit the game but in backwards 😅 so from tomorrow i am gonna start from 3 to all the way to 1 and you drop your video 😆 what a timing
🎶 “Eaten corn out the can!” 🎶
Just started playing the original while waiting to be able to buy the deluxe remaster, I forgot how hard the game can be but it still is really fun. Thanks for another amazing story video!
Harry’s the best!! I watch these like movies since I’m scared to play the games myself 😅
Great recap! But was there any reason you didn't cover the "Chaos Rising" DLC for DR3? (the one where you play as the gang leader). IIRC not much of consequence happens in it but its a noticeable omission.
Yeah exactly what you said. It wasn’t relevant to the story so I left it out.
I've watched so many UA-camrs and their gaming stories/lore vids. Noone comes close to the quality of Harry. Well done , Harry. Just wish you'd put more content out but I get it.....quality over quantity
Edit for spelling
GamingHarry did it again! Another Story So Far....vid! What game are you gonna do next? Can it be Dishonored?
Edit: Also i like how you're showing the Psychos in DR2 some highlight. And ive noticed that you didnt pointed out the most helpful shortcut in the game, but at least you've shown who you're gonna need to save to get it though
Y'know. It would be interesting if you can cover thr theories or inconsistencies as to why some titles are not favored as canon by fans. I've been reading the main story of 1-3 back then but never checked the spinoffs/dlc
Dead Rising 1 was such a masterpiece. I remembered playing it every after school. Good old days.
Hot take here but I want a dead rising game set in Santa Cabaeza and play as Carlito during the very first outbreak ever.
You are still the best youtuber Harry
I've gotta ask with emphasis on "looks" by why does Frank West have to look like if Larry Lovage from *_Leisure Suite Larry: Magna Come Laude_* if he got a graphical upgrade in the Dead Rising Remaster? You take a photo of Larry and Frank in the Helicopter and the similarity it's oddly alike..
Sure you get the "Frank West 2006" Costume for pre-ordering but they should've just taken that and upscaled it.
Nitpick aside I can't wait to jump back into Willamette and Shop and Chop till I Drop.
Thank you Harry for providing us with lore in order and maybe as a one-off you can do Bugsnax for the heck of it!
1:35:22 this scene turns gross when you realize she's only 17 and Nick is at least in his mid 20s
Yeah, that was odd. Also, she could be 16 as it's only 9 years and 6 months after 2. Nick is around 18-24, as the poster says. He's likely 21.
Coming from a palestinian flag, that's rich
@@stinnetbennetbro murdered him, revived him and killed him again 😂😂
@@stinnetbennet Brother, the age of consent in Palestine is the same as the US. The only difference is they have it where men need to be 18. Why do you think this is a gotcha? 😂
@@stinnetbennetAt least it wasn’t a Yemen Flag
I can't wait to watch this after I play the remaster. I've never played the OGs, so this will be a treat
Criminally under viewed
I love these types of vids please do more of entire franchises
"4? Well, not that one. Therefore, this video WON'T cover the 4th game, as I don't believe it's canon."
3 ended with them finding a cure or a vaccine to make everyone immune. A 4 didn't need to exist unless they were going to decide to make some kind of commentary on anti-vaxxers, but they didn't. They just went "uhm what if Willamette again and a guy we're calling Frank West even though he's not Frank West lolololololol"
Tehsnakerer covered a pretty decent explanation for why DR4 flopped.
This explanation, in-universe, makes a lot more sense by rejecting it's canonicity.
Yeah I’ve seen that video. Was a good watch 👍
As usual I enjoyed the new video immensely. Dead rising 1, 2, and OTR all hold a special place in my heart, shame the series fell so far. Idk if they can capture that same magic again, but if they could make a new game that stands out as much as the 1st did, they would do well I think.
I sorta disagree. 3 did not fall off as it still had the classic Dead Rising stuff. 4 is easily the worst one
Love the video ❤
great video, all the side games like case zero had me confused before but makes sense now. I am interested in hearing about number 4 as a stand-alone video but I understand the reasoning as to why you wouldn't include it here.
Dead Rising 4, command and conquer 4 & the 3rd Birthday for Parasite Eve- are so incongruent to their established narratives that being honest I wish they’d all just get binned. Killing franchise and the narrative so badly it takes a remaster to bring life back to a franchise.
1:04:44 I'm glad life didn't imitate art too closely here
Too bad we didn’t get the zombie part 😔
Chuck... gave a child a tiger?
Revisiting the story as an adult now and realizing how goofy and funny the story could get at times 😭
1:58:48 the fact you mentioned he farted on his self is cracking me up 🤣🤣🤣
1:29:55 is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in a video game
In Dead Rising: Off The Record there's a version of the Terror is Reality song full and updated version of it. I wish they could update it and make a lot of Dead Rising Official Soundtracks. "Terror Is Reality." Quote from the song itself.
16:01 did she seriously not see Barnabe get up and nearly grab Frank? She was looking right at him.
What an amazing early birthday present this is lol thank you harry
38:40 “All we had to do was follow the damn train CJ!” 😂
I’ve heard the remaster is going to be pulling a but of censorship, so I think I’d rather stick to the original
Yeah, OG is best. However, I am excited to play the remaster, too. As the sections of the mall look really cool!
All they did was make it so your up skirt photos of corpses aren’t marked as “erotic” anymore. Because it’s a corpse.
@@wajmgirldont tell him that or he finna say something bout woke bullshit
@@wajmgirlthey also removed any mentions of Cliff's Vietnam War backstory too. Which is a shame since he's one of the more interesting Psychopaths in the series.
@@LckiKoin736 did they? That one is weird, it’s been a while since I played the game but I wonder what the catalyst was for that.
PLEASE do all of halo next time. The gears of war video you did was amazing, but now I would love to hear the story of halo, and YOUR the only one that could do it!
Loved it
I wonder why this isn’t getting as much views as you normally do
I loved Shadow of Rome!
Thank you for covering this so well Harry
0:34 My first game that I ever got with my Xbox 360 was Forza 3 I think and Halo ODST plus Halo 3 multiplayer bundled with the console cuz it was the launch version of the first Xbox elite consoles back when you still needed to have a Wi-Fi dongle plugged in the back to get Wi-Fi. One of the first games I ever bought used that I can remember buying at least is Dead rising the first one from Cash converters
Now hear me out?
Chuck is better than Frank...
Honestly, it's a shame we didn't get a game with a major title allowing the player to play as both. Maybe another Dead rising game can have all three protagonists interact like Devil May Cry 5.
I agree. While Dead Rising 1 has the best story, Dead Rising 2 has the best characters.
@camerondalton1495 Nick, I feel was wasted potential. But I feel that with a lot of 3's characters like Dick, Diego, Ronald, and Annie especially.
@@RedStar2002B I gotcha. What do you think was missing with their characters.
@@camerondalton1495 I feel Dick and Annie should have played bigger roles in the story and gameplay. Them also being playable but option to pick. I also have Dick created the first combo vehicle as he's a truck driver and made his own truck. I have Annie make a combo bike from Dead Rising 2 and make her connection being Katey feel a lot more utilized. I also remove the mob boss thing and the love triangle as they were not needed. I make Diego also play a bigger role in the story and have him and Annie fight about the government stuff as while some has bad people, there's also some good people too. I also go deeper into Ronald's backstory and make him feel a lot more tragic and have only captured Isabela as thinking she caused this and was one of the reasons that zombies were created in the first place.
49:05 I never noticed, but did Rebecca Chang leave the safety of her roof to... walk in the middle of the street where mutated zombies just took down a military unit? I know she wants a story, but...
Amazing video!
Loved it ❤❤❤
Dead rising and dawn of the dead both has slap stick scenes
1:33:42 It’s a crime to not mention the genius pun that Gary used.
God Diego’s scream will always be great lmao
I just bought the whole dead rising framchise for less than 10 bucks
Nice, I hope you have fun.
If you bought it on Fanatical just be warned DR4 is not Frank's big Package with all the DLC, its just the base game. So if you want the ending for it, got to fork over your money to capcom.
@@FrostiKing Its from steam, i dont think i need dlc yet, first time playing it
The untold stories 2 was literally scary and scared me the hardest part
Great video but the amount of times your watermark in the top left hand corner made me think I had a smudge on my screen is unreal 😂
Rebecca got the Carley surprise. RIP
