As the title suggest, DR4 is starting to look like a train wreck of a sequel. It started with Terence Rotolo not being contacted to voice Frank West again, but as time progressed it's gotten way worse. The timer is gone from missions, you don't escort survivors anymore (they just run away when you save them), your health automatically regenerates, you get the overpowered exo-suit from the start, and combo weapons are being given out like candy now.



Supposedly the dev team asked fans what they wanted and this is the result. I've yet to talk to a Dead Rising fan who was in favor of completely changing everything about Frank, making survivors super easy, or wanted an overabundance of OP weapons, or any of these changes (only one you can argue is the removal of the timer). Dead Rising 4 doesn't resemble what the franchise was 10 years ago.
