Long heralded as Capcom's «
other zombie franchise», Dead Rising finally gets an opportunity to shine as one of the Xbox One's launch line - up exclusives, and Capcom Vancouver has clearly bought into the mantra of «go big, or go home.»
Not exact matches
Zombies has been a staple of the
franchise for a long time but has traditionally lacked the support given to
other game modes within Call of Duty.
For example, the big - name game title selection is spotty; you'll find Angry Birds, Monopoly, Dead Space, Madden, Plants vs.
Zombies, and Need For Speed, but none of the
other big
franchises like NBA Jam, Dungeon Hunter, Infinity Blade, Real Racing, or even Scrabble or Words With Friends.
Basically Plants vs.
Zombies, Zuma, Peggle, Bejewled and a bunch of
other gigantic
franchises are now all under EA's wing.
It's reminding me more of the Myst
franchise or Wander in that it's a survival sandbox framed by mystery and open - world exploration and relationship - building, not so much by the now - tropish parade of murderous
zombies, dinosaurs, or
other players (which is not to imply it's not stuffed with danger, mind you!).
