Ua hoʻi hou ʻo Capcom's Dead Rising me kahi komo hou o ka luku zombie, ka pīhoihoi nui loa e hiki i kēia franchise ke hāʻawi. He anahulu kēia mai ko mākou hoʻolauna ʻia ʻana i ka honua o Dead Rising a me kāna protagonist, ʻo Frank West. Ua hoʻohanohano ka pāʻani mua iā George Romero's, "Dawn Of The Dead." Ua hana ʻia i loko o kahi mall, ʻoiai kahi wī zombie i luku ʻia i kekahi kaona liʻiliʻi. Ua hele ʻo West ma ke ʻano he mea kākau noiʻi a wehe i nā mea huna ma hope o ka laha. He ʻumi mau makahiki a ua hoʻi mākou i ke kaona ʻo Willamette, Colorado ma ke komohana. Aia nā ʻāpana i kahi āpau akā hāʻawi mau paha ʻo Dead Rising i ka ʻike like me ia i kēlā manawa?

Ke ʻimi nei ʻo West a me kahi mea kākau moʻolelo i kapa ʻia ʻo Vick i kahi wahi pohihihi i mea e wehe ai i nā mea i loko o nā boonies. Ke ʻike lākou e hoʻomoe pono ana ka hale i nā poʻe me kahi genome kiʻekiʻe, ua kaʻawale ko lākou ala. ʻO West nō ka haʻaheo a me ka manaʻo aloha pilikino a mākou e hoʻomanaʻo ai, ʻoiai ʻo Vick e makemake e wehe i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo no ka pono ʻoi aku.

No laila, ʻoiai ʻo Vick e hele nei e ʻimi pono i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, pilikia nui ʻo West no ka haki ʻana i ka hale a hoʻopiʻi ʻia no nā make i hana ʻia. Hele ʻo West e peʻe ma ke ʻano he kumu paʻi kiʻi male ma ka inoa ʻo "Hank East." Ua huli ʻia ʻo ia i lalo a ʻāpono e hoʻi i hope iā Willamette i mea e ʻike ai iā Vick a kiʻi aloha iā ia iho i ka moʻolelo ma mua o kona hiki. No laila hoʻihoʻi ʻia ʻoe i Willamette i uhi ʻia e ka hau e wehe i ka mea i hana ʻia ʻO ka Pōʻalima Pilikino ʻO ia ka mea i kū hou i ka maʻi ahulau.

Nui ka palapala ʻāina no Willamette. ʻO kahi ʻāpana nui o ia ka mall, akā me kēlā me kēia hihia āu e hoʻopau ai, wehe ka palapala ʻāina i kahi hou e mākaʻikaʻi. ʻO kahi laʻana, no ka hihia mua ua paʻa ʻoe i ka mall. Ke komo ʻoe i ka hihia 2 wehe ʻia ʻo Willamettes Ke Kaona Kahiko. Nui kēia mau ʻāpana āpau a loaʻa i ka ʻāina ka nui. Puehuehu ʻia nā koina. ʻO nā nūpepa, nā podcast, nā kelepona paʻalima e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi hoʻokolokolo ʻelua i nā ʻāpana o ka moʻolelo. Hoʻolahalaha ʻia nā Blueprints no nā mea kaua hou a me nā kaʻa a puni ka palapala ʻāina. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o kekahi i mua o kekahi. Naʻu, he waiwai nui ia i ka pilikia. ʻO wau e ʻōlelo nei, inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i kahi keʻa e kī i ka iʻa pahi, e hoʻokau ʻoe i ka hana.

Aia kekahi manawa hou aku e mākaʻikaʻi pū kekahi. Ua hala ka uaki makaʻu mai nā pāʻani make ʻekolu o Dead Rising i hala. No laila, ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻāwīwī e hopu i kahi holo, e hoʻōla i kāu kaikamahine me Zombrex a i ʻole e hoʻāʻo ana e hele i mua o kahi neʻe kaua missile koa. Ua hauʻoli wau i ke kūʻokoʻa akā i ka manawa like, ua hoʻokau ka uaki i ka hoʻokūkū i loko o nā pāʻani ʻekolu. Hiki nō iaʻu ke mahalo i ka loli, no laila ʻaʻole lilo ka nalo o ka uaki i mea haʻihaʻi ʻaelike.

Aia ma laila ke koho e hele pololei i kāu māka i kau ʻia. A inā makemake ʻoe e mākaʻikaʻi i ka ʻāpana āpau a ʻike i kāu mau mea maikaʻi a pau i hōʻiliʻili ʻia aia i laila ke koho. Ua makemake wau e ʻohiʻohi i nā mea āpau ma mua o ka hele ʻana ma hope o nā mikiona mua. ʻAno aloha wau i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole wau e wikiwiki.

Me nā ʻimi ʻimi no nā hōʻiliʻili, holo pū ʻoe i nā wahi hoihoi i loaʻa nā pahuhopu ʻaoʻao liʻiliʻi e like me ka luku ʻana i nā ʻenemi satites, ka hoʻopakele ʻana i nā mea pakele mai nā zombies, a me ka hakakā ʻana i nā hakakā o nā luna liʻiliʻi i nā 'maniac.' Hele mai kahi bummer maoli e pili ana i kēia pāʻani ... 'Maniacs' i kahi o ka punahele punahele 'Psychopaths.'

"I ka wā i lilo koke wau i Leprechaun

ke kau nei i kahi kaulahao, ua ʻike wau

koʻu aloha i kēia pāʻani. 

No ka poʻe i hoʻomanaʻo ʻole, ʻo nā ala psycho kēlā mau hakakā luna nui weliweli i hōʻike ʻia i ka poʻe i nalowale ko lākou noʻonoʻo. He holo maʻamau kēia mau mea i haʻalele ʻole iā ʻoe e mākaukau no ke kaua. Ua hōʻike ʻia kekahi o nā mea nui i ka makua kāne a me kāna keikikāne i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o kahi hale kūʻai maikaʻi haʻuki a me kahi clown e hali ana i ka clown nāna i hoʻolilo kona manawa a puni nā keʻena wili mīkini. ʻAʻole like ke ʻano o kēia mau kaua maniac me ka psychopaths i hāʻawi ai. Maʻalahi loa lākou. Makemake wau e ʻike i ke kumu i hoʻoholo ai ʻo Capcom e ʻoki i kēlā mau kaua mai kēia komo ʻana. Akā ua nalo ʻia.

I ke kamaʻilio ʻana no Capcom, piha kēia pāʻani i nā hua manu easter. ʻO nā hale kūʻai puke Comic āu e ʻike ai he mau paia i kāhiko ʻia me nā lole, nā pālule tee a me nā pelaha e hoʻohanohano nei i nā mele Capcom. 'Street Fighter,' 'Mega Man,' a me nā mea ʻē aʻe āu e hoʻomanaʻo ai mai Capcom mai a pau. Hoʻopili kēia, Blanka masks a me Mega Man Zero i nā lole piha. ʻO kēia āpau ke kani nei ke kani kani ʻo 'Street Fighter' ma o nā haʻi ʻōlelo o nā hale kūʻai.

Aia he tona o nā mea kaua combo hou e hana. Hana ʻia ka hana lima ʻana i ka lele e like me ia ma 'Dead Rising 4,' ʻo ka Ice Sword kekahi o kaʻu punahele, hoʻomaʻamaʻa ia i nā zombies a hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka manawa e hoʻowai iā lākou i nā shards liʻiliʻi. ʻO nā ʻōpeʻapeʻa Baseball i wahī ʻia i ka uea ʻaukā, nā masks Blanka i mākaukau me ka pākahi kaʻa a loaʻa nā mea he nui aku. ʻO ka sillier ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.

ʻO Exo-Suits kekahi mea hou āu e ʻike ai a hoʻopuehu ʻia. Hana kēia mau hoʻopiʻi iā Frank i pahu. Hiki iā ia ke kuʻi i kahi zombie i loko o ke goulash ʻoiai ke komo nei i ka hoʻopiʻi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i nā mea i mea e make ai kāu exo-suit iʻoi aku ka make. ʻO kahi laʻana, inā ʻoe e launa pū me nā lako pono o ka pūʻali koa, hoʻopaʻa ʻoe i ka mini-gun a me ka rocket launcher i kou kua a hoʻokuʻu i gehena. Inā hiki iā ʻoe ke launa pū me kahi hakahaka e huli ia i omo make e hiki ai ke huki iā ʻoe i nā zombie a laila e hoʻokuʻu ana i kahi ea e hoʻohuli iā lākou i ka viscera. Holo koke kēia mau lole exo-suit i ka wai momona. I ka manawa pōkole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana iā lākou, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka nui o nā pōpoki ma nā pūʻulu zombies e hiki ai ke hoʻopaʻa i nā kiko combo hit. He leʻaleʻa loa kēia mau hoʻopiʻi, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole mau lākou e like me ka lōʻihi āu e makemake ai hiki iā lākou.

"Ke moemoeā nei i ka Mele Kalikimaka keʻokeʻo,

ʻo kēia nō ke ʻano Kalikimaka

ke moeʻuhane nei nā poʻe haʻalulu.

Ua hoʻi nā lole a me nā lole i hoʻopilikino ʻia. Hiki i kēia mau mea ke hoʻolilo iā Frank i kekahi mea mai ka bipi i kahi pirate. Hāʻawi kēlā me kēia hale kūʻai lole āu e ʻimi nei i ka hiki ke hoʻonui i kou manaʻo fashionista. I ka wā i lilo koke wau i Leprechaun e lawe ana i kahi kaulahao, ʻike wau i koʻu aloha nui i kēia pāʻani.

ʻOiai nā pāʻani e like me 'Dark Souls' e hele no ka permadeath a hoʻopaʻi i ke ala paʻakikī, hele ʻo Dead Rising 4 no kahi ala maʻalahi loa. Hoʻomaʻalahi nui ʻia ka pāʻani pāʻani. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole make iki wau i ka wā o ka hoʻouka holoʻokoʻa. ʻAʻohe ala e hoʻohuli ai i ka paʻakikī kekahi. I nā pāʻani ʻē aʻe he pilikia nui paha ia, inā ʻoe e aloha i kahiʻaʻa maikaʻi. I kēia hihia, ʻo nā lole lōkahi a me nā mea koho combo comane mea ʻoi aku ma mua o ka make up nona. ʻAʻole e hoʻāʻo nei ʻo Dead Rising e hoʻopaʻi iā ʻoe, ke uku nei ia iā ʻoe me nā mea kaua kiʻekiʻe a me nā lole. ʻO ka hana ʻana iā 500 zombies i loko o ka mush e hoʻohana ana i ka waiwa e kuha ana i ka lau nahele ʻo Santa Clause he mea ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu e make ana i nā manawa he 49 e hoʻāʻo ana e hele i ke alahaka. Hāʻawi ia iā mākou i nā ʻano a hiki iā mākou ke mahalo āpau i ka ʻokoʻa?

ʻO 'Dead Rising 4' kahi pāʻani e leʻaleʻa wale. ʻO nā mea kaua combo pupule a me nā lole ka berena a me ka waiū o kēia moʻo a ʻo ka hā o ke komo ʻana i loaʻa i ka hoʻohālikelike kūpono o nā mea ʻelua. E nalowale ana paha nā psychopaths a me ka uaki, akā aia ka nui o ka luku zombie, nā mea hauʻoli hiki iā ʻoe ke kau ma luna e uē nui ʻole ai. Ke noi nei ka pāʻani i ka nīnau "lilo ka pepehi ʻana i mau tausani zombies i mau manawa a lilo hou i luhi?" a he pane nui loa ia "gehena ʻaʻole." He pāʻani freaking ia e pili ana i nā zombies i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ka wā Kalikimaka hau. ʻO ka moemoeā Screw o kahi Kalikimaka keʻokeʻo, ʻo kēia kahi ʻano o nā mea aloha weliweli Kalikimaka e moeʻuhane nei.
