Joystiq - Dead Rising 3 and the stuttering car conundrum

Mobility has always been an issue with the Dead Rising games.

No entry in the series until Dead Rising 3, the upcoming Xbox One launch game, has created a big enough sandbox for vehicles to be a crucial component of the experience. There have been cars before, but their use was limited by confined spaces and the lack of a real street system.

Well who would of thought that there would be frame rate issues in an exclusive xbone game running at 720p with 30fps.

I guess frame rates dont matter tho.

thorstein3817d ago

Didn't even need the sarcasm tags! Dying Light might be a great alternative (and it is available on both systems).

rdgneoz33816d ago

Still skeptical about Dying Light. I want to believe it'll be good, but the devs behind it did make Dead Island and that was not the smoothest (stable) game around.

this is what happens when M$ panics and decides to release the xbox sooner to compete with the PS4, the games simply aren't ready...

MRMagoo1233816d ago

by the sounds of the bottlenecks and the fact the xbone wont be any good when games start using gpu compute, it wont get any better for MS in the near or far future lol.

Damn still frame rate problems n its only 720p n 30 fps

SpiralTear3817d ago

I know it's going to be the beginning of a brand new generation of gaming, but seeing a low frame rate in a 720p/30fps game isn't representing the new tech in the generation very well.

matrixman923817d ago

if this game really was a current gen game being ported to next gen, that kind of makes it even worse

Chaostar3817d ago

I'm not the kind of guy who expects next gen games to all be 1080p 60fps but being unable to maintain a solid 30fps at 720p should be the worst case scenario.

DR3 was on my list of reasons to buy an Xbone next year but now it's looking like I need more announcements. Don't disappoint me MS I like owning all consoles.

What Happened To The Dead Rising Series?

Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.

Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...

Darksonic221354d ago

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl1353d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic221353d ago

Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.

ColdSin1353d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

darthv721353d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1353d ago

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

RamRod881353d ago

They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.

DeadManMMX1353d ago

This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.

Gamerking821353d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891353d ago

haha yes it may....good one.

The Decade's Bizarre and Quirky Gaming News

VGChartz's Patrick Day-Childs: "2020 is upon us! The past decade has had some downs, like the influx of monetisation within full games, Blizzard's community backlash and EA winning the worst company in America award twice, but also some ups, like the leaps in understanding gaming from more mainstream companies to wholesome news like gamers helping preserve a controller signed by someone’s deceased mum.

The decade has also been the highlight of some… bizarre news, and I decided collect together some of the more obscure and quirky stories to make you giggle or question what the hell happened this decade."
