Nick and crew would dismember and make zombies into pieces, and some of these methods of expiration from Dead Rising 3 return in Dead Rising 4, but more detailed, less choreographed form. That is, enemies are dispatched less in clean-cut body-separations characteristic of Japanese cartoons, and more in jagged body-separations characteristic of American movies like Rambo. Like the Capcom masterpiece brawler Alien VS Predator that paved the way, Dead Rising 4's weapon-based fighting gameplay is messy, with bloodspill littering every square inch of the eternally-miserable Willamette. The Forge engine powers the hordes of zombies and the rivers of blood their separations bring forth; torsos, extremities, and limbs are all stripped in a plethora of visceral methods. There are tons of different weapons in Dead Rising 4 that cause these special effects, since anything and everything is a weapon (much of which have returned from the monstrous Dead Rising 3). Like Capcom's past brawlers, Dead Rising 4 has tons of weapons to use against both the dead and undead lot you encounter, all of which are in acute abundance just like in Alien VS. Predator.
