Dead Rising 3 Review | Gamespresso

Dead Rising 3 isn’t the best looking game out there, but that’s not a big deal. The fact that the game can run with that many zombies on-screen and have minimal slowdown is a very impressive display. It’s a game that asks the players to just sit back and have a blast killing zombies in the most creative ways you can think of.

Dead Rising 3 is funny, dark, bloody, violent, crude and inappropriate, but it also has a lot of heart to it. Dead Rising 3 is easily my favorite launch game for the Xbox One. There is so much fun to be had and it’s advised that you play this game with a friend. Not only is it more fun, but you can be more creative with a friend.

Score is way too high. Personally, I'd give it somewhere between 7.5 and 8.

Necro_5593783d ago (Edited 3783d ago )

Minimal slow down? You do realize the game runs at like 20FPS through out the whole game right? Read the digital foundry article. 20FPS is unacceptable. And the game looks like utter crap. It looks like an early 360 game. Yes the scope is "next gen" in a lot of ways and the game is a lot of fun to play UNLESS your a fan of the originals like me and have to deal with the fact that they change all the things that were so great about 1 and 2. But yes its an alright game, not 9.5. That score just destroyed my faith in any reviews of yours not as if your reviews matter.

lastofgen3783d ago

Digital Foundry takes apart the performance of a game piece by piece with technology to measure the exact performance of a game.
I'm pretty sure that all reviewers don't do such extensive testing. If you're just an average joe with no tools to measure exact fps or performance, you probably won't even notice most of the fps variations aside from the occasional hiccups.

And from what I've played, the reviewer's spot on regarding his comment about the some slowing down. It's not frequent and you'll notice it at times when you're not expecting it to occur (for example, when you charge into a huge, huge horde of zombies- no slowdown).

And what's up with your "not as if your review matter?" You cared enough to bash the reviewer over his opinion in his review of the game with an extensively opinionated and subjective take and you say that his review doesn't matter?
Lol...whatever.

Oh the irony with this one xD

BLKxSEPTEMBER3783d ago

Oh I take it you have actually played it for a few hours then? Because I actually own the game and have yet to notice major frame issues throughout the entire game as you put it. Something tells me you don't even own the game.

Muadiib3783d ago

Of course he doesn't, he's just a moronic fanboy on a site full of moronic fanboys. He said "It looks like an early 360 game" that moronic statement completely disqualifies everything he wrote, lol at the obvious hater.

Elit3Nick3783d ago

a patch fixed most of the framerate drops in the game, try again.

Servbot3783d ago

Finished the game today and really enjoyed it. However, the visuals are extremely weak and the performance is far from good. Frame rate drops happen regularly and are very noticeable.

Sarcasm3783d ago

The only thing that really looks next-gen is the number of zombies on screen, which is a TON.

But as far as everything else, it really just looks like a X360 game.

fractured743783d ago

People on here are crazy,frame rate drops,no it does not, are the visuals futuristic, then no they are not,but they are far from bad and you can have hundreds of zombies exploding and the fr never drops.

This is a strong launch game,if fb don't like it then don't play it.

The vehicle combos are fantastic,you chopping zombies in half they still come after you,they crawling out the gutter,falling out of windows,climbing all over the place to get to you.This is a good game guys,reviews aside i would recommend to anyone.

BcozoftheImplication3783d ago

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...

Darksonic221359d ago

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

InklingGirl1358d 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.

Darksonic221358d 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.

ColdSin1358d ago

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

darthv721358d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1358d ago

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

RamRod881358d 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.

DeadManMMX1358d 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.

Gamerking821358d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891358d 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."
