Dead Rising 4 isn't constrained to the mall though, as it splits its time between the shopping megaplex and the town of Willamette. On Black Friday, the biggest of sales holidays, folks flocked to the mall's grand opening for the best of deals only to fall to the worst deal of all: zombie outbreak. The mall was the setting of the first Dead Rising, but here it has been rebuilt and revamped as something closer to the immense Mall of America. Instead of a zombie game show in faux-Las Vegas or an outbreak in not-Los Angeles, Dead Rising 4 returns to Willamette, Colorado. After two other embittered everymen up against hordes of the undead, Capcom Vancouver has returned to Frank West. Dead Rising 4 is an odd game, moving away from the series' roots while looking back to the first game in the series.
