In a leaked gameplay video sent through to Polygon, Dead Rising 4 has had its sleeves rolled up, and a few of the aces have come tumbling out.
The games setting, some of the weapons available, and the ability to take selfies all feature in the leaked gameplay. Willamette Colorado will serve as the beautiful Pacific Northwest setting for the game – scenic views help to alleviate the stress of the zombie apocalypse. The taking of pictures was one of the more interesting mechanics to layer the first Dead Rising game, and fans will no doubt be glad to see its return here. The series’ trademark sense of self-aware humour makes a glorious return as players will no-doubt be setting up selfie opportunities among the undead horde.
The footage also seems to take place in a prison, which is an intriguing setting and lends a grittier vibe to the gameplay on show. Take note of the vehicles and outrageous weapons on offer, which have both become trademarks of the series so far – it’s good to see West back in action at last!
Dead Rising 4 will be released on December 6th for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC, but it is only a timed exclusive – in the vein of Rise of the Tomb Raider – and will eventually make its way to PS4 and Steam.
