Review: 'Dead Rising 3' is the Xbox One launch game you want - The Globe And Mail

The Globe And Mail: If it’s a true “next-generation” game you’re after, look no further than Dead Rising 3. Capcom Vancouver’s gory, over-the-top zombie thriller is a technological masterpiece that amply showcases the power of Microsoft’s new Xbox One console. But more importantly, it’s also immensely and outrageously enjoyable. While other launch titles for the Xbox One and Sony’s rival PlayStation 4 are doing much to show off their respective systems’ improved graphics, Dead Rising 3 goes beyond that simple call of duty, no pun intended. It masterfully uses the console’s beefed-up processing power to pump not just a few more, but a ton more things onto the screen – in this case, of course, it’s zombies.

10 out of 10! Awesome!

kiz26943803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

Withdraw comment :P

NYC_Gamer3803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

The score is on the left side 10/10

Dragonborn3123803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

My original comment was about the score on Metacritic from the Globe And Mail. I did not see the score of 10 out of 10 in the top left hand corner of the review under the image. Dead Rising 3 and all those zombies are going to put a smile on my face!

Edit to kiz's comment below: Oh haha I thought you meant that I should withdraw my comment.

kiz26943803d ago

Didnt mean you, I ment I have withdrawn my comment :P

Freedomland3803d ago

It's a review or an advertisement for X1 and its games. Really confusing.

malokevi3803d ago

This article has drawn more comments then any other article on the board by a wide margin, and has a heat score of 320 degrees.

I'm not saying that N4G is owned, controlled and manipulated by Sony.... but that's exactly what I'm saying.

xHeavYx3803d ago

@Malokevi
Check the main page. PS4 negative article (Red light related) has over 1000 degrees with 130 comments, and a positive one (fastest selling console) has 750 degrees with 113 comments, that's only a 17 comments difference.
I'm not saying you are full of it... but that's exactly what I'm saying

TheGreatAndPowerful3803d ago

10/10...are they talking about framerate?

Rev3 gave it a 3/5

the most fun and worthwhile next gen game at the moment. Looks so much fun. A lot of people just getting Xbox One for this game. I mean who wants to play a generic shooter and some crap platformer on another platform?

kiz26943803d ago

Me. It wouldn't call KZ:SF a generic shooter its one of the most original shooters there is. And Knack is a very selective taste type of game, some will love it, some wont. Dont state other people wont enjoy games, everyone is different. Now shh troll.

NoLongerHereCBA3803d ago

StraightPath, why the need to troll? What's the use? I wouldn't call KZSF a generic shooter or knack a crap platformer.

A 10/10 for Dead Rising 3 goes a bit to far imo (though I haven't played it), but I'm glad the game is getting reviews around the 7.5-8 mark a lot. Seems like a worthy game to pick up when the Xbox One is released.

malokevi3803d ago

We don't need to put down PS4 games. XB1 has a great game here. No need to stir up more confrontation.

JokesOnYou3803d ago

StraightPath, why the hate? Nobody was trolling until you said that...can't we just enjoy that X1 has some great launch games?

Derajcan23803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

agreed! xbox one has the better games and thats no surprise

sincitysir13803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

Obviously u speak out ur ass as I'm sure u haven't played knack or killzone. Knack is a surprise hit shot down by reviewers for god knows what. If u gave games outside ur comfort Zone a chance then Ud realize how ignorant ur comment is

What r the disagrees for? What u guys are scared to go out of ur comfort zone?

LiQuiZoN3803d ago

Not even sure why I Take time to combat trolls, but Killzone is a great game. If you think otherwise (without even playing it) your out of your mind. Much better than BF4 and COD ghosts.

Knack I have but haven't played yet, so I can't comment.

Ashby_JC3803d ago

There is a reason you have one bubble.

I like to feel that xbox gamers are above the trolling..guess not. But all that replied...kudos for NOT supporting troll comments such as this.

EdoubleD3803d ago

You don't deserve that Big Boss avatar...troll.

Perhaps I was playing it wrong.... maybe having missions and task makes it more appealing than what was at the Xbox One tour.

WTF?

jetlian3803d ago

what part dont you like? if its the power of xbo then it does show improvements over last gen

imt5583803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

Which improvents? More zombies and bigger world? NO!

I don't wanna spend 500$ on console which can't run a game properly with akward graphics and unstable framerate ( drops from 30 to 16 according to DF framerate test )

From IGN :

Notice that I didn’t say it was pretty. Dead Rising 3 runs at an upscaled 720p resolution, it doesn’t have amazing textures outside of its cinematics, and it suffers from regular framerate stutters and occasional walls that pop in after you’ve driven into them. It doesn’t look a whole lot better than what you’ve probably played on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

Brix903803d ago

"The power"

lol it's 720p and not even locked at 30fps...Don't get me wrong not saying it's bad game but definitely not push the graphical bar.

imt5583803d ago

@jetlian

No, you don't understand me. XO is powerful enough even to handle much better graphics than DR3 has and at 900p or 1080p, not graphics that is little better than current gen.

78 on metacritic...

this game cant compete with gta v or the last of us so 10 out of 10 is bs

So it seems like some reviewers had the patch and others didn't strange. Regardless, this game is going to be insanely fun.

MasterCornholio3803d ago

Does the patch fix the frame rate issues?

Loki863803d ago

According to EDGE and destructoid it does.

kiz26943803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

Good news actually, really wanted this to be a hit :)

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...

Darksonic221352d ago

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

InklingGirl1352d ago

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

1351d ago
MadLad1352d ago

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

Darksonic221352d 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.

ColdSin1352d ago

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

darthv721352d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1352d ago

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

RamRod881352d 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.

DeadManMMX1352d 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.

Gamerking821352d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891352d 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."
