One of the new zombie features that have been added in “Dead Rising 3” is increased awareness. If one of them managed to spot you, he or she will scream in order to attract the others to gather to the spot.

I don't know what you're getting at?

Gritty visual styles are awesome, Last of Us was pretty gritty and washed out, almost similar to what we've seen of Dead Rising 3, apart from Last of Us has the vibrant greens in overgrown areas.

I think your post is just silly in all honesty.

What does color has to do with it?

If the game offers awesome gameplay that really gives a great experience..does it really matter?

I don't get u.

I'm just worried is all. I loved the whimsy of DR1 and 2. I just hope DR3 doesn't forget that.

Forget the color, I'm more interested in how you ventriloquist the zombies into thinking you're somewhere else using kinect 2.0.

"the enemies are able to operate more as a group instead of a single individual. Players can take advantage of this by setting off a loud noise (like screaming something using the Kinect accessory, for example) in a different direction in order to cause a distraction."

How do you scream in another direction without

A: Alerting the original pack of zombies to your exact location.

And

B: Alerting new zombies in the direction you "screamed something"

The only I can think of in which this works is the ever watchful eye of Sauron... Err Kinect detecting which way you're facing. Still it should not work that way either.
In every face to face conversation you've ever had you don't turn your back to listen to the other person, you immediately zero in on the source.

Don't get me wrong, I think its cool having the NPC's more interactive with the microphone.

Imagine an Elder Scrolls game (or any game really) where you can talk to the NPC's instead of picking from a list, or give them instructions without going through the menu.

Stuck in a room because Lydia has some obsession with standing in doorways?
"Lydia, get out of the doorway"
"yes, my Thane"

Don't want the morbid tedium of searching dead bodies?
"Lydia, search the corpse"
"yes, my Thane"

Kill an NPC you weren't meant to?
"Lydia, gather the Dragonballs"
"mod not installed, my Thane"

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...

Darksonic221784d ago

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

InklingGirl1783d 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.

Darksonic221784d 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.

ColdSin1783d ago

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

darthv721783d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1783d ago

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

RamRod881783d 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.

DeadManMMX1783d 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.

Gamerking821783d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891783d 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."
