Dead Rising 3 is flush with dark horror … until you want it to be funny

DR3 producer Bridge states "We wanted to go truly open-world this time around. No more load screens, with the biggest world we've been able to make, with loads of zombies. And in doing this, we needed to hang on to the pillars of Dead Rising:everything and anything is a weapon, as well as the ability to play how you want.

You can get a call from game's NPC to your smartphone via SmartGlass, zombies can hear you if your room is noisy, no loading open-world action with rich content and funny stuff, and most of all, it's almost 500-1000 zombies can be seen in one screen, and I'm happy they fixed the framerate in PAX's build.

I swear, this game has the most "next-gen" features than others for me

theWB274308d ago

It's getting harder and harder to overlook this launch game among the others. It's not talked about as much as it should be. The map is ginormous.

The first two games fit into 2 corners of DR3.

The in-game models to match.

That's what the devs mean when they say linear fidelity in a non-loading seamless, every and anything is a weapon, packed with zombies and content next gen game. On top of the features you mentioned...with Kinect.

svoulis4308d ago

As much as I believe that DR3 is going to be a great launch title on the Xbox One. I do not think it screams next gen.

"No-Loading Open World action"

This has been done before and I don't have to name the games that do it.

"zombies can hear you if your room is noisy"
Really? Who wants that. I don't. I mean its a cool gimmick but in my eyes its in fact just that, a gimmick.

and about the "in-game" models to match.

Hm, really.

That being said, Dead Rising is a fun series, and I am sure this will be no different. But honestly try to keep things on a factual side. If possible

psych4308d ago

Just eyeballing it here (don't get mad if I'm off a little) but the DR3 map looks to be ROUGHLY 12 times the size of the DR1 map, and ROUGHLY 7 times the size of the DR2 map.

And not a single loading screen in sight...

Irishguy954308d ago

Yeah alot of open world games are doing that psych

PFFT4308d ago

Thanks for the heads up on the frame rates. I cant wait to play DR3 come this release date.

Dagobert4308d ago

I swear some of these people posting on xbox articles sound like damn Microsoft employees. Lol Jamal you ain't fooling me.

sobotz4308d ago

Why people who are excited about their purchase it's being called 'this company' PR?

It's what people called hype, and voicing opinion, If you disagree with my opnion, then fine.

Dagobert4308d ago

@sobotz

Yeah well Nintendo fans are excited about the Wii U (not sure why), Sony fans are excited about PS4. But the way you're excited about the Xbox One? Bro that's some straight up PR shiz.

It's like how Best Buy has employees post on their twitter posing as customers "Hey I'm a frequent shopper for the past 20 years at 5 different states, and I am very supportive of Best Buy..." You can tell it's fake when it really seems different from everyone else's comments even if they like that thing. You ain't fooling me bro.

psych4307d ago

@Dagobert

So you're saying being excited about WiiU is fine (sort of), and being excited about PS4 is fine but anybody expressing any kind of excitement over X1 is instant PR stooge?

That is some straight up Sony fanboyism right there.

I too found the plethora of features in DR3 to be the most next-gen packed game, and one of the only next-gen games I was truly excited over.

This is my OPINION, it might differ from your OPINION, but it is still a valid point of view.

obelix014308d ago

Oh you forgot all zombies will be doing something different instead of 100 zombies on screen doing the exact same thing. The AI will be pretty impressive. This will be amazing. Definitely a first game for me. If I'm lucky enough to get a X1 this year.

i wish dead rising 3 comes to ps4 :-(

Irishguy954308d ago

Well, you'll have to deal with Infamous :)

Seriously from the track record Infamous should be a better game.

Khajiit864308d ago

How do you get disagrees for facts?

Irishguy954308d ago

Xbox thread = Xbox fanboys

Kane224308d ago

im pretty sure this will eventually be on pc and ps4

sobotz4308d ago (Edited 4308d ago )

X1 get Dead Rising 3
PS4 get deep down

get over it.

If you're saying DR3 will eventually released on PS4, then it's safe to assume that deep down will come to X1 as well, both are Capcom's games and Capcom already stated DR3 IS X1 exclusive, and deep down will NOT coming to X1 too

CrimsonStar4308d ago

lol I'm pretty sure it wont .

svoulis4308d ago

Capcom is known for breaking their own contracts with companies if games don't sell to their standard.

Example.

Resident evil series. WAS gamecube exclusive. After Resident evil 4 on GameCube came out. They went and released it on PS2 and PC.

From EA standpoint

Mass Effect Series. Started on Xbox 360 and PC, Microsoft sold the IP. ME2 was a xbox 360 exclusive, and then it came out for PS3.

Demon Souls series started on PS3, and now its gone to Dark Souls on xbox 360 and PC.

The only games you can guarantee wont see other console/PC launches are first party games because the Studio owns the IP. Other then that its all about the $. If pre-order numbers are any indication of this, maybe you'll see it on another system (console/pc) sooner then later.

GmIsOnPt3604308d ago

This game is such a standout in terms of launch games , 2 generations in a row MS has delivered DR to us at launch and help keep the standard HIGH

Kamikaze1354308d ago

Cool. Can't wait for the re-release on the PS4/PC.

CrimsonStar4308d ago

lol , I cant wait to get the GOTY edition of deep down . 300k servers with deep down = bliss ;).

Kane224308d ago

the thing is with deep down vs. DR3. is that sony is helping capcom make deep down. so it may or may not ever go to X1. also i highly doubt there gonna just give microsoft DR3 and no one else. no 3rd party game is really ever exclusive anymore these days.

Bundi4308d ago

Did you just say Deep Down, a 3rd party exclusive would never com to X1 and then one sentence later say DR3 won't remain exclusive cause it is a 3rd party game? Hypocrisy, we meet again.

Also, I'm pretty sure MS said they were helping capcom with DR3, besides the fact they are publishing the darn thing.

Who is publishing Deep Down on PS4?

XboxFun4307d ago

MS also helped Capcom make and publish DR3. So I don't really understand your argument especially when you say things like:

"is that sony is helping capcom make deep down. so it may or may not ever go to X1."

So which is it, may or may not?

Kamikaze1354307d ago

Just throwing this out there, but remember when they said Ninja Gaiden 2 wouldn't be released on any system because Microsoft published it? Or when Microsoft published Mass Effect? They said Dead Rising 3 will be exclusive, but Dead Rising 3: Director's Cut won't be.

Kane224308d ago

@Bundi, i said it may or may not. learn to read better. also just cause Microsoft is publishing the game doesn't mean a damn thing. one way or another a 3 rd party game can go to another system.

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...

Darksonic221788d ago

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

InklingGirl1788d ago

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

1788d ago
MadLad1788d ago

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

Darksonic221788d 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.

ColdSin1788d ago

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

darthv721788d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1788d ago

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

RamRod881788d 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.

DeadManMMX1788d 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.

Gamerking821788d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891788d 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."
