Predicting The Metacritic Scores For 2016's Biggest Video Games
13. Dead Rising 4 (80)
The first three Dead Rising games have scored a range of 78-85 on their inaugural platform (the Xbox One), and number four seems unlikely to stray far from the pack, racking up a respectable if hardly Earth-shattering 80 (ish).
Dead Rising 2 and 3 scored 78 and 79 on the Xbox One respectively, and the Christmas theme to the new game (which releases in early December) should give it a very slight edge in terms of a unique aesthetic and tone.
It does remain to be seen, however, how fans and critics alike will take to the game's lack of a time limit. Will it open things up and promote an even greater sense of freedom, or will it simply be a missing feature from previous games that Capcom begrudgingly patches back in?
