Dead Rising is back

I'm a verified buyer of the game and both a PS 4 and XBOX One owner so hopefully I can help clear up these reviews a bit. There are a lot of fanboys out here just looking to bash an opposing console.First a generic note to those who just adopted a new next gen console. Calibrate your televisions people!
