"We have graphics envy" about Forza and Ryse, quips Dead Rising 3 producer

Dead Rising 3 became notorious last night after it was revealed that - shock - Capcom Vancouver's latest is one of those dreadful, dreadful 720p resolution Xbox One games, the kind absolutely nobody can bear looking at without first scooping their own eyes out with bits of shattered Kinect sensor.

dirigiblebill3820d ago

The frame rate's the key thing. It's easy to get confused when there are loads of zombies on-screen - the last thing you need at that point is stutter.

s8anicslayer3820d ago (Edited 3820d ago )

I think that's is way the Resolution is at 720p, cause with DR3 and all those zombies on screen at once the game would be virtually unplayable at any resolution higher than that, remember all the early previews stating at how choppy the framerate was and we don't know at what resoluion the game was running at that time but I can bet it was atleast at 900p in earlier builds!

cleft53820d ago (Edited 3820d ago )

I think most people understand why this game is running at 720p. There are a ton of zombies on screen and the game is clearly pushing the limit technically being an open world game with a ton of different AI routines running at once. Clearly, from a technical standpoint this is what a lot of people expect from next-gen gaming.

With that said, there is no need to downplay the importance a lot of people put on 1080p60fps with sarcasm, " shock - Capcom Vancouver's latest is one of those dreadful, dreadful 720p resolution Xbox One games, the kind absolutely nobody can bear looking at without first scooping their own eyes out with bits of shattered Kinect sensor."

Just respect that people are a little upset over this issue. If you accept that and move forward than it isn't a huge deal. But if you start doing what folks like Adam Sessler did and tell people that resolution isn't a big deal and basically start being an apologist for a console maker it upsets people a lot more than necessary. Sony recently dropped some unpopular news with the whole DLNA and mp3 issue, people where rightfully upset and Sony is considering that feedback. Because Sony didn't start telling people it isn't a big deal the issue passed a lot smoother for them.

I think Dead Rising 3 will be great and I look forward to watching someone broadcast it, while I play Contrast.

@ dirgiblebill and s8anicslayer

It's downright amazing the things you guys tell yourselves in order to remain as delusional as possible.

You guys boast that "the power of cloud" allows devs to offload things like AI computations and other taxing stuff to the servers and frees up compute space on the Xbox One. But now all of a sudden, this game is pushing loads of zombies on screen and therefore the resolution and framerate is acceptable.

You guys are going to have to choose which one is true. if 300,000 dedicated servers are helping with the AI, then certainly the number of AI on screen shouldn't mean much, right?

Meanwhile, In reality land, Heavenly Sword, a launch title on for the PS3 is pushing 1000 very animated charaters on screen at once. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Infamous Second Son is 1080P/60fps with fully destructibles environments and tons of other stuff going on.

GTA5 on current gen is doing so much more on screen than this game. But you know what, anything that fights insomnia is a positive in my book, so carry on guys.

dirigiblebill3820d ago

@Cupid

Way to read a bunch of stuff I didn't say into my post.

jetlian3820d ago

cupid HS didnt have 1000 very animated characters most were loops in the background waiting for the few you faught to die

in any case DW games NNN had a lot on screen. IFSS isnt even fully destructible and the map is very open and the same size as IF1/2. Which isnt very big.

GTA5 doesn't have a lot going on either. the resolution doesn't matter. it looks way better than last gen dead rising games

UltimateMaster3820d ago (Edited 3820d ago )

@cleft5

I think you'll disagree with yourself if this game, or a game like it plays 1080p 30fps on PS4.

Both Infamous Second Son and Watchdogs plays 1080p on PS4. Infamous Second Son has much smarter enemies than the brain dead DR3 Zombies and runs @ 60fps.

NeoTribe3819d ago

Its at 720 because its on the xbox. Don't blame the zombies for microsofts weak sauce.

Except that the zombies don't do anything. Are about as much of a threat as regular troops in a Dynasty Warriors title.

It would be better to have a dozen or less zombies who were honest threats, chased and climbed after you and broke down barricades, than hundreds that just mill about until you're an arms reach from them.

MrCastle3820d ago

Maybe you should just play Walking Dead or Resident Evil?

Godmars2903820d ago

Or a Dynasty Warriors that lets me use a lightsaber while wearing women's underwear.

Stoppokingme3820d ago

"It would be better to have a dozen or less zombies who were honest threats, chased and climbed after you and broke down barricades, than hundreds that just mill about until you're an arms reach from them."

Dead rising honors the original zombie, not the bastardised modern day version that can sprint, climb, or mutate.

Godmars2903820d ago (Edited 3820d ago )

@Stoppokingme:
"Normally" zombies aren't threats unless one catches you off guard or in groups of three or more. but Dead Rising has never offered surprise moments, and usually things don't get difficult even when surrounded by fifty or more. There's just never a sense of danger and the developers well know it.

UltimateMaster3820d ago

Hey, don't down grade DW, at least they attack sometimes at higher difficulties.

The important thing is the frame rate. With thousands and thousands of zombies on screen, the game runs smooth and that is what matters. I prefer a game to run with no frame rate issues and look good over a game that runs ok and has some issues and looks great.

Belking3820d ago

Forza and Ryse are two of the best looking next gen titles out there.

AJ Hartley3820d ago (Edited 3820d ago )

Are some of, that are on the xbox one. Thats all

Visiblemarc3820d ago

Yeah and it's worth mentioning that Deadrising actually looks fun...Ryse? Not so much.

4Sh0w3820d ago (Edited 3820d ago )

nah AJ Hartley Ryse and Forza5 have been praised by tons of sites for having some the best next gen graphics on consoles. Here's one of them:

"Of all the next gen launch games I've seen its hands down the best looking." -Brian Albert IGN
http://www.ign.com/videos/2...

Visiblemarc Ryse looks fun to me and although some a few sites weren't impressed with the gameplay, some did in fact enjoy it, so how "fun" it is will likely depend on who you ask, for me the vid above and this one tells me its plenty of fun:
http://www.gametrailers.com...

yeah I think I'll go with visual proof over an individuals opinion.

glenn19793820d ago

overtime they will improve, I mean common when the ps3 launch developers have more problems with the cell processor, there making such a big deal about this

AJ Hartley3820d ago

Yeh but the cell wasnt limited it was just hard to work with where us the esram being only 32 is slow and limited.

miklo843820d ago

To be fair, most third party XBone games started as 360 games and then where switched over to XBone. Who knows how much time devs really had with the new hardware that up until recently has been getting tweaked for better performance. DR3 is one of those games (link provided). Only time will tell if the esram is truly a bottleneck.

http://www.gamespot.com/art...

AJ Hartley3820d ago

Is that why mark cerny didnt bother with it we know esram can be used and in time it will get better with experience but only 32 cerny considered 1000.

christocolus3820d ago

its ok dude...you will get there someday but definitly not at launch ..lol....just give us dr3 the way it is and allow us start the zombie killing count.

I'm still waiting for the sequel.

HyperMoused366d ago

Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.

Ryse: Son of Rome Deserves a Second Shot

Ryse: Son of Rome was an Xbox One launch title that has been left to collect dust, but Crytek should set aside Crysis and give Ryse another shot.

It was a great game, it had issues but it can only go up from here.

crazyCoconuts622d ago

It was just ok. Looked really good for an Xbox game though

Snookies12622d ago

"for an Xbox game"

Way to subtly throw shade there. It looked amazing compared to any game at the time it was released.

Never played it myself though, wasn't really interested in it personally. Plus it came at a time when I didn't own an Xbox console. But it was at least different than the usual copy/paste games we get. So I hope it gets another chance sometime soon.

Crows90621d ago

It was a crytek game though

1nsomniac621d ago (Edited 621d ago )

It was a stunning game on all basis. One of the standout games for Xbox as a whole. I ended up buying on pc as well… and yes nothing looked better than it in PC at the time either. Nothing just ok about it, definitely needs a sequel.

fr0sty621d ago

@snookies12, don't pretend like the Xbox One didn't struggle with being gimpled by its tiny pool of ESRAM as a frame buffer. It was significantly weaker than the PS4.

crazyCoconuts621d ago

Metacritic 60, user score 6.4. I'm not alone in putting it into the "ok" category...

VenomCarnage89621d ago

@snookies
Haven't played it but at least you know enough to defend Xbox over it. The game did look good, for an Xbox game. That's not some "subtle shade," it's full on reality.
I remember it being nearly the only graphically decent game on the Xbone for like the first two years after launch, and graphics were that games strength

CrimsonWing69621d ago

I really enjoyed it. Bought it at launch even.

ManMarmalade621d ago (Edited 621d ago )

The qte's were disappointing though. God of war was doing it back in the ps2 days. As gorgeous as the game was, the gameplay needed to be updated.

annoyedgamer622d ago

I really liked the original Ryse but Crytek doesn't have the funds. The mismanaged their properties and let EA raid them with Crysis for the duration of their relationship. Right now they are working on Crysis 4, I doubt they can spare resources to work on a Ryse sequel.

gamer7804622d ago

It would have to be funded by MS, I really liked Ryse sure it got repetitive but the setting visuals and story were good

moriarty1889622d ago

MS should have funded a sequel to Ryse and Sunset OD. Two good franchises they definitely needed last gen.

annoyedgamer621d ago

MS is too busy trying to become the next EA, Ryse wont be on their list of titles to finance unless it gets a hipster makeover with lootboxes.

darthv72622d ago (Edited 622d ago )

I recently bought it for the steamdeck and have to say... 60fps is a game changer. I really wished MS had gotten a one x patch or series boost mode option but sadly, nope. Other games that definitely deserve a second chance (esp on steamdeck/pc) are quantum break and sunset overdrive. Both deserved 60fps support on one x / series but you have to go to PC for that.

Rumor has it Crytek had plans for a Ryse 2 but due to the low turnout for XB (at the time) it was shelved. They really should give this another shot. i dont care if its multiplat on PS and XB and PC and Switch... just so long as part 2 gets made.

babadivad621d ago

The game is automatically boosted on Series X

darthv72621d ago

sorry... but it's not. It still runs at the same fps the XBO did.

lelo2play622d ago

Game was good enough, not great.
Graphically it was top notch. Still holds well till this day.

Crows90621d ago

It only needed more enemy variety and few more movesets or weapons to use. That would have made the experience tons better.

MadLad622d ago

It was a good game.
Only time I saw quick time events actually make me feel engaged.

This is not what I would call value for money spent. They give you quests in liveservice games to get you "re-engaged" with the monetization schemes or to get you hooked or so you at least spend some extra on skins and loot boxes. Then they dole out paltry points after you have already paid extra for whichever liveservice within a liveservice that you are already paying for. My worry is people can't actually be that stupid to fall for this, can they?

littletad627d ago

Absolutely nothing in this comment makes sense. At all.

anast627d ago (Edited 627d ago )

How does it not make sense? O thy god of reason, shine some evidence upon us. Ryse of Rome, ESO,and AC: Origins are all live service games, between them you can get 275 points. Liveservice games are made to keep people spending. Therefore, Gamepass is a live service and the points are for playing live service games.

It is not my problem that this does not make sense to you, it is absolutely your problem. I mean it is all your problem.

Julion0715627d ago (Edited 627d ago )

Hate Xbox but comments in every Xbox article 😂 without making sense smh

anast627d ago

Bring the evidence and then your emoji might make sense.
