GameInformer- Dead Rising 3 Review

GI:Capcom Vancouver’s latest entry in the Dead Rising saga is an impressive display of big, dumb fun, and a must-play for fans of the series. It’s also a great demonstration of the outstanding capabilities of next-gen hardware right out of the gate. Thinning out the undead of Los Perdidos is worth your time, but the bugs infesting the sandbox are an unwelcome scourge.

So excited for this game! The game actually got 8.75 out of 10, not the 8.5 shown above (Does not really matter, but the higher the merrier! :) )

malokevi3812d ago

me too!! A lot of great reviews rolling out this morning. Couldn't be happier =)

Dragonborn3123812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

Yeah I am happy with the reviews so far. 8+ scores are great. Even if it got bad reviews I would still get it because it is so much fun (played it a bit and had a smile on my face the entire time!).

Game-ur3812d ago

7-8 Scores weren't great a few days ago, what happened?

malokevi3812d ago

That's what I've heard. I was listening to a bunch of previews done by an Irish guy last night, and he said that DR3 was the first and last game he went to. And, in spite of the limited scope of the demo, he played it completely differently both times, and had unbelievable fun.

Which is EXACTLY what I look for in games. 3 days :D

Dragonborn3123812d ago

Yeah I listened to the same Irish reporter. A similar thing happened to me: played the demo twice and I played very differently the second time. I went to different areas (there is a really nice vertical element to the game, found myself at the top of a large building and went off a ramp with a motorcycle!), used very different weapons, wore different clothes, drove different vehicles, and even used a mega bomb that blew all my clothes off! So excited for the game (I know I have been saying that a lot but it is the truth!). It is a great time for gamers.

This is promising. Hope you enjoy your system like I do mine

CramShaft3812d ago

That is a very reasonable thing to say. Are you sure you belong at n4g.

Now on to the topic, this has been the darkhorse for XB1 launch games, I was gonna pick it up regardless but it's nice to see its getting solid reviews. Less than 4 days to go!

TheDarpaChief3812d ago

@cramshaft lol yes I do, I'm just being reasonable and realistic. i personally thought that dr3 was xbox's real launch title. I do think its sad killzone wasn't reviewed in a similar manner cause I believe it plays a lot like far cry 3. But yes from a sony pony to an xbot.... enjoy my fellow gamers

DiRtY3812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

Dead Rising will never be a 90+ rated game.
You are killing zombies with a lightsaber wearing a mankini... nuff said.

*edit* and I can't wait to do so! 4 more days!

ceedubya93812d ago

Getting mostly good reviews so far. Can't wait to play this on Friday.

lifeisgamesok3812d ago

Dead Rising 3 looks like senseless fun and that's great. I can't wait to open this

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...

Darksonic221360d ago

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

InklingGirl1360d 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.

Darksonic221360d 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.

ColdSin1360d ago

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

darthv721360d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1360d ago

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

RamRod881360d 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.

DeadManMMX1360d 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.

Gamerking821360d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891360d 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."
