IGN: Dead Rising 3 Review

IGN: When I finally completed Dead Rising 3, the kill counter in the corner of my screen read 26,978. Also I was wearing a luchador mask for some reason. But anyway, that’s a really big number. It’s like killing one zombie per second for seven and a half hours, though I played far longer than that. The fact that I’m still ready and willing to go for another round with a co-op buddy is a good sign that Dead Rising 3 is packing enough variety and goofy action to make it a good time.

I wonder how many zombies someone has to kill to get the Genocide achievement? My guess is around half a million. Anyone else want to guess? Super excited to kill all those zombies. The short time I played it was the most fun I have had in a while.

this game looks hilarious and fun. Most fun game so far in the new generation

malokevi4576d ago (Edited 4576d ago )

Certainly the best reviews so far. And the best impressions. Nobody has played it... so we only have so much to go on.

I agree that it looks like the most fun game so far.

Edit: Then again.... Forza and Ryse could be more fun.... =D

Dragonborn3124576d ago

I have played most of the launch games for the next gen systems and in my opinion this is the most fun game. It just put a giant smile on my face. So excited for the game!

HammadTheBeast4576d ago

So far, Resogun has the best rating.

guitarded774576d ago

Okay... for me, PlayRoom has been the most "fun". Yeah, it's basically an AR demo, but every preview I saw, the people playing were laughing and having fun. Then when I played it with my wife and friend, we were laughing and having fun. Just my 2 cents on "most fun".

Day One Gaming stamina

How is this a good review? The reviewer lists a mountain of problems and yet slams a 8.3 on it contradicting everything they mentioned. Bad story, awkward slow clunky controls, struggles to run on next gen hardware, 720p & 30fps or less. Also the whole fun argument, I can't argue with because that is completely based on personal preference. I can see how it is fun for maybe an hour or two, after that there is nothing there.

That picture... Never has so much been said about a game in one captured screenshot.

fossilfern4576d ago

Looking forward to this! Anyone here from Belfast going to the midnight launch at GAME ?

Ninjamonkey824576d ago

From the Shankill m8 holding out to the new year for the xbox one to see how things go and picking up the PS4 at launch but i will still be getting the x1. You from here m8 you know where not made off money ;).

fossilfern4575d ago

lol aye when I get this I'll be skint for a while! Never really been to a midnight launch but ah well might as well try it at least once.

Z_-_D_-_34576d ago

Does anyone else see an enormous amount of Saints Row influence in this third installment in particular? I'm happy this game didn't tank because of trivial things such as technical performance, because it just looks like loads of fun.

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

ocelot07290d 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!

TheColbertinator289d ago

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

monkey602290d ago

It's not even the best one 🤨

ocelot07290d 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.

MetroidFREAK21290d 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...

Darksonic222125d ago

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

InklingGirl2124d ago

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

MadLad2124d ago

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

Darksonic222124d 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.

ColdSin2124d ago

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

darthv722124d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad2124d ago

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

RamRod882124d 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.

DeadManMMX2124d 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.

Gamerking822124d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18892124d ago

haha yes it may....good one.
