Capcom has announced that a slew of changes are coming to Dead Rising 4Â based on fan feedback, on December 5.
In a video released on the game’s official YouTube channel, one of Dead Rising 4’s designer’s outlines some of the tweaks that the development team is making to the follow-up to 2013’s Dead Rising 3.
New side missions are being added called Distress Calls. These will see protagonist Frank West doing a particular task for a survivor in Willamette, and then escorting them to a safe location on the map. Once completed, you’ll be rewarded with an altered version of one of West’s outfits.
The Maniac battles in Dead Rising 4 are also promised to be better when the update comes out. Human enemy AI is being reworked so your foes will provide more of a challenge by using cover, blocking with shields, and being better at countering attacks. As well as that, some Maniacs will even have minions that will try and help take out Frank. Once you defeat the Maniac, you get the weapon they were using in the battle.
Zombies will also be more responsive, and controller input will be more responsive, too. The update will be included in the PlayStation 4 version of the game, Frank’s Big Package, and will be downloadable as a free update for PC and Xbox One players on the same day.
