Dead Rising 4 review impressions: PC performance and Christmas zombies - washingtonwels1970

Dead Rising 4 reviews appeared yesterday, but you'd be forgiven if you thought the game was a console table exclusive. Then far as I potty tell nobody standard accession to the PC version until…well, yesterday morning. It does exist though, and it releases today on the Windows 10 Store. No, not Steamer. Just the Windows 10 Stack away.

I to the full expect some of you just closed out of this tab with disgust, though information technology's meriting noting that Dead Rising is a Capcom property, non first-party Microsoft, and so I wouldn't be surprised to see a full Steam departure in about six months. (Control besides: Quantum Fracture.)

The Windows 10 version is working just fine though, for the most divide. There's definitely evidence that the port is coming in hot—namely, two lines in an email that attended our recapitulation code:

"There is a beginning-plunge-only crash that will occur when you boot up for the forward time and we are presently practical on a pay off. The game volition run normally later this and the repose of the gameplay experience will be unaffected."

Yeah, a flake problematic. But Capcom's powerful to read "The game will run normally after this," as away from that pesky hemipteron execution seems pretty damn solid. It's by all odds better than the herky-jerky frame rate pink pong we byword with Dead New 3's bigger crowds of zombies. I'm TRUE running a powerful PC—a six-core Intel Core i7-5820K and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti—just I've only noticed short stutters when loading into a new orbit and no problems at altogether from the undead hordes. Level this scene below, which had something like 300 zombies loaded into the same field, stayed generally above 60 frames per second:

I've in general seen performance hover approximately 75 frames per second at 1080p resolution, with everything maxed extinct, and then dipping to around 63 frames per second during more chaotic moments. (I half-track my FPS using Dxtory, which is the easiest way to add a frame counter to Microsoft's UWP games.)

That's non to say that the gritty's hemipteron-free. I've had a few weapons disappear finished the floors of Willamette River, Colorado's rhetorical newly mall, and as wel encountered one issue where cardinal press of WASD would set Frank to running forever, only stopping if helium was attacking something. A bit of a pain in the neck, that one, though information technology was resolved by a re-start or by using a control.

It's another Deadened Rising though, and more importantly it's another Frank West Dead Rise. The game's about the Lapplander as ever—shoot down dozens of zombies with goofy weapons—but I have to say that bringing back Frank and returning the game to the theme park-style confines of a shopping centre definitely give the game something that Lifeless Uprising 3 lacked. Which is a long-form way of saying: I'm actually having a beautiful decent time. Deadened Rising 4 isn't an instant classic, and much of what made the original Dead Rising unequalled and eldritch has been lost, but it's not as boring and dour as its predecessor. Plus information technology's set at Christmas time, which means you can run around wish a weird elf.

We'll (probably) have a lengthier review sometime soon, erstwhile I've made my way through nearly of the game. For now, do it to say that it runs fine—if you're willing to take the plunge into the Windows Store, course. Otherwise, bilk your fingers for that Steam release.
