Dead Rising 4’s quirky humor will cure ‘The Walking Dead’ blues

Zombie survival stories don’t have to be as bleak or tragic as AMC’s television series The Walking Dead. Capcom Vancouver wants to remind you that the apocalypse can be fun, too.

To commemorate Dead Rising’s 10th anniversary, the developer is delivering another helping of the series’s wacky zombie-slaying humor with Dead Rising 4 (coming to Xbox One and PC on December 6). The latest entry in the open-world franchise brings back two major stars from the first game: hero Frank West and the fictional Willamette, Colorado.
