Capcom Heroes feels like a step backward since its single-player arcade experience doesn't jive with the levels and cutscenes they're sharing space with. The wonderfully named Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + α was a 4 player co-op experience with bite-sized levels, quick objectives, and custom boss battles that were tailored specifically for this style of gameplay. What's especially strange about Capcom Heroes being a layer of weirdness on top of the existing campaign is that they already produced a better version of this concept for Dead Rising 3. Even if you wanted to ignore the game's lacking side content and plow through the game in an arcade fashion, you'll still be spending a lot of time wandering around the game's empty open world looking for the fun.
There are also challenges for each costume that unlock finishing moves, and you'll need to gather a bunch of collectibles to unlock them all. Costumes function similarly to the Exo Suit, which means that they are initially limited in their use and locked into a strict timer. The most disappointing part of this new mode is that it feels like a half-step towards a different genre rather than a truly new way to play.
You can even embody Morrigan from Darkstalkers, complete with a joke about cosplayers in the ensemble's description.Įven if you do like the gameplay, you'll still be playing through the same Dead Rising 4 campaign, which doesn't really lend itself to repeat playthroughs. You can fit into the familiar red jumpsuit of Viewtiful Joe and slow down the action to fit in more kicks. You can become Devil May Cry's Dante and slash through the undead with a giant sword. The main feature of this playthrough is a suite of nostalgic costumes that transform Frank into other Capcom characters. The highlight of this new release, and what I really want to dig into, is the Capcom Heroes mode, which addresses some of what I found flawed about the original while also shifting it to a different style of game.Ĭapcom Heroes is a completely new way to play through Dead Rising 4, coming to the other versions of the game alongside the release of Frank's Big Package via a free update. Capcom Vancouver has grafted a few interesting modes and trinkets to their game since release, and all those updates are coming to the PS4 this week in Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package. I could go on, but you probably get the picture. The story's non-ending that was later finished in DLC, the haphazard focus on gunplay and stealth that took away from the franchise's familiar combat, the open world that felt like a chore to navigate. The game's combo weapon chaos was held back by a plethora of issues that had me frustrated beyond belief when I reviewed the game last year. Right off the bat, it's important to mention that I wasn't a huge fan of Dead Rising 4 upon release.
