Dead Rising 3 Developer Interview | NZGamer

Dead Rising 3, releasing exclusively alongside the Xbox One on November 22nd, is more than just a sequel to fans of the series. Rather than simply taking the sandbox zombie deconstruction gameplay of the earlier titles and iterating on it, Capcom are moving the entire experience into an open world for the first time, dramatically extending the title's scope in ways that players seem very excited about indeed.

"You come across this dead ZDC agent and you find his military PDA and that's when the game prompts you 'hey, did you want to connect your smartglass device?' and if you do, you get his PDA in your hand, on your smartphone or your tablet, and that gives you this back door into the military network, and their information and some of their support applications and even allows you to hack in and do things like airstrikes and drone strikes and things that a normal ordinary mechanic wouldn't have access to."

-I like new ideas to add to the gameplay, I hope this feels more like an optional gameplay mechanic/feature rather than a gimmick.

I also like new innovation in games like this makes me excited that I can have stuff like this that can't happen on the previous consoles.

JokesOnYou4518d ago

True. I really do like it in theory it sounds fun as long as its well implemented like I think this will be, sometimes just throwing in stuff for bullet points isnt very good. Im sure we'll see some smart glass stuff like that down the road but here it really sounds like they worked it into the game smartly instead of intrusively.

This really needs a re-release. Enjoyed all 4 games with 3 probably being my second favourite.

ocelot07201d ago

It once was. But the recent DR1 remake took that spot.

It's 2013! I'm on my Xbox One and streaming from my laptop to my chromecast! Life couldn't be better!

TheColbertinator200d ago

Now I can stream my Xbox One from my TV to my phone to my tablet while I'm inside my refrigerator.

monkey602201d ago

It's not even the best one 🤨

ocelot07200d ago

Surprised this didn't get a Series S/X boost. I believe it's still locked to 30fps. Then again so is the PC version until you go into the .ini file and change it.

MetroidFREAK21200d ago

Genuinely surprised this still hasn't been ported

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...

Darksonic222035d ago

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

InklingGirl2035d 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.

Darksonic222035d 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.

ColdSin2035d ago

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

darthv722035d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad2035d ago

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

RamRod882035d 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.

DeadManMMX2035d 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.

Gamerking822035d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18892035d ago

haha yes it may....good one.
