After three years, Capcom will release the next zombie-slaying game to their popular series as an Xbox One exclusive. And this time around, the key word is more. Dead Rising 3 aims to amplify gameplay by multiplying zombies, weapons, wheels, and more.
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
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...
Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁
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.
They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.
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.
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.
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."
Now this is the way launch titles should be, this is a system seller.
I always enjoyed playing the Dead Rising series but one of the things I never care for was the timed missions, you have to be at this end of the mall at 11:59am to save Frank, Sally and George and the opposite end of the mall at 12:12pm to save Bill, Fred and Jackie so make a choice.
My understanding is DR3 does away with that.
My only fear worry with this game is they can have 100's and 100's of zombies on the screen at one time and I hope it doesn't get overwhelming or you never get a breather.
I'm also digging the fact that no two Zombies look the same, they have a Zombie generator that picks their cloths and various body parts, Way to take advantage of the advancement in tech and show us some of the things that Next Gen gaming will have, Good job Capcom.
If we demand excellence we just might get it.
Dead rising will not be a system seller, if anything, it's gonna be forza.
Oh I'll agree, would it be a system seller if released a year from now? more than likely not but because it's a launch title, I believe so, as I said if I were to get an Xbox One it would be because of games like DR3.
If this is a system seller, the future is bleak for this system.
Can be a system seller IF Microsoft markets it properly, instead of just making youtube videos.
