Reception [edit]

Dead Rising 4 received "mixed or boilerplate" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.^{[27] [28] [29]}

IGN 'southward Brandin Tyrrel liked the new Frank West and the game'southward accept on Christmas consumerism, besides every bit the "detailed presentation and careful consideration that went into both the world and the story." Tyrrel felt Capcom had balanced the absurdity of the gameplay with intelligence and feeling, merely specifically establish the safehouses too simple and underwhelming, writing he "would've loved to come across some sort of shelter defence system come into play."^[36] Game Informer 's Jeff Cork similarly praised the gameplay, writing that Capcom Vancouver "infused the series with fresh ideas and some of the all-time action that it's had in a decade." Cork felt the storyline was a piffling rote, and was disappointed with the new and original simply bland and generic "maniacs" (which serve every bit the game's bosses and supersede the previous games' psychopaths) and lack of campaign co-op, but praised the new gameplay features such as the photographic camera enhancements and the exo-suit, every bit well equally the improvements to the map compared to Dead Ascent iii 's map.^[32] Conversely, GamesRadar+ 'southward Sam Prell wrote the "majority of Willamette is a sleepy, uninspiring mistiness", and felt the story lacked a satisfying concluding dominate and as well many objectives were repetitive. He acknowledged some players might not similar the changes to Frank W'south appearance and voice merely wrote "he has the aforementioned smartass-with-a-centre-of-aureate personality he'due south always had" and "is still worth cheering on." Prell felt the removal of the timer present in previous games was a "fantastic improvement" and wrote that together with the simplification of the game'due south bosses and relieve points, Dead Rising 4 was a "more coincidental, easygoing entry than its older siblings", but ultimately believed information technology succeeds more than it fails.^[35]

Writing a less positive review, Destructoid 's Chris Carter wrote that while he liked the game's comic volume-like animations and campy tone, information technology felt like at that place "was a concerted amount of endeavor put into information technology". He disliked the new Frank West, who reminded him of a less-interesting Ash Williams, and he "directly up [did] non like that the timer is gone in the chief manner". He felt the lack of story co-op and specific save points were understandable, but the removal of the timer organization removed the tension, and felt it was "a sleazy move" that Capcom Vancouver were going to bring back the timer in the upcoming Expressionless Ascension 4: Frank Rising paid DLC.^[thirty] Writing for GameSpot, Scott Butterworth felt that "[f]or a game that's all most mindless zombie murder, the storytelling is remarkably skilful", and Frank and Vick's relationship was nuanced and believable. Butterworth believed "Dead Rising 's juxtaposition of slaughter and silliness makes for a memorable world", and summarized his review by writing that despite the serial' zombie-slaughtering formula wearing a bit thin subsequently all these years, the "surprisingly well-crafted story, [...] new philharmonic weapons, and expansive open world elements [...] turn Expressionless Rising 4 into an over-the-top slice of popcorn entertainment that captures the series' best elements."^[34] Jim Sterling favorably compared the goofiness of the gameplay to the Saints Row serial. They recognized and sympathized with long-time Dead Rising players who were put off by the changes Expressionless Rising iv made, such as the removal of the timer system, the replacement of Frank Due west's voice thespian and his new appearance, and the more comedic tone of the game, simply could non aid but find it "a damn fine, damn fun, damn funny game though."^[37]

As of April 2017, the game had sold under a one thousand thousand copies, short of Capcom's expectation of two 1000000.^[38]

Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw of Zero Punctuation ranked both the game and Frank's Large Package third on his list of the 5 Worst Games of 2017, calling them "a stripped-down, tarted-up holiday special of a Dead Rising game with none of what makes Dead Rising good."^[39]
