Dead Rising 3 can be a "serious horror" game thanks to Xbox One's fidelity, says Capcom

OXM UK - "Right now, I'd say the most horrifying thing about Dead Rising 3 is that protagonist Nick Ramos looks rather like Christopher "Highlander" Lambert. It's all about the eyes, those awful, deadened eyes - eyes that have doubtless "smouldered" their way through an '80s sex scene or two."

Serious FUNNY horror game, indeed !

sonarus3913d ago

agreed. serious is not necessarily the word i would use to describe dead rising

bumnut3912d ago

Hope I can still slay zombies while wearing a mankini :)

lifeisgamesok3913d ago

Sounds right the E3 gameplay showed the survival horror more serious side and the latest trailers show it can be silly too

I'm anxious to try it on the nightmare difficulty sounds fun

Did't take long for someone to drop a turd in the punch bowl.

Godmars2903913d ago

Considering that the turd's been dipping in and out of this particular punch since it was first shown off, its pretty much your choice to notice.

Not seeing how they think that they can have it both, anyway, that they want.

Its an open world sandbox where you do ridiculous things while killing zombies. You can have serious cutscenes but gameplay is going to be surreal if not comical.

GmIsOnPt3603913d ago

id prefer it to become a tad more serious, with that comes a challenge of the zombie being the challenge not just time limits. I mean the game is littered with zombies but has been about racing against a clock not surviving zombies which is meh to me. its unique and funny i get tha

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...

Darksonic221409d ago

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

InklingGirl1409d 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.

Darksonic221409d 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.

ColdSin1409d ago

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

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1409d ago

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

RamRod881409d 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.

DeadManMMX1409d 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.

Gamerking821409d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891409d 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."
