10 Images That Will Restore Your Faith In Upcoming Video Games

9. Dead Rising 4

Final Fantasy XV

Why We're Worried: After three entries of zombie-slaying madness, is there really anywhere else left to go with this series? The third one was a disappointment, and aren't we approaching zombie fatigue at this point, especially for fairly brainless gorefests such as this?

Why This Image Rocks: That's right: you can use a freaking fireworks crossbow in Dead Rising 4. In addition to the inspired Christmas theme, it's pretty clear from this explosive image that the well of imaginative ways to dismantle zombies hasn't quite run dry yet.

Sure, rocket fireworks have been present in previous Dead Rising games, but a fireworks crossbow?

That's a new trick, and a decidedly more awesome one at that. Given that some of the other weapons reportedly include an "electric axe" and an "ice sword", there's a good chance DR4 might compensate for the uninspired previous entry.
