The Dead Rising franchise has always been known for one thing – putting a time limit to tasks, thus introducing an urgency with sometimes quite harsh punishments, including a game restart. In spite of having all the freedom to explore, the time limit bound you to completing the tasks in the give boundation, or face the consequences.
The upcoming title will abandon the system completely. Unlike Dead Rising 3, in which adhering to the time limit was optional, this time Frank West is going to have all the time in the world to explore the world and kill zombies. Though we don’t know how to feel about ripping a game of its most iconic element, even Dead Rising 3 wasn’t exactly a bad game (and the time limit in that was completely useless, mind you). But we can probably expect Dead Rising 4 to be a more similar to GTA V, now that the time limit is gone. But then again, the game is the most fun when you’re trying out new weapons annd silly, silly costumes. So maybe the urgency is not THAT important, and the world can rot for a little bit longer.
