Eurogamer - Before the Xbox One celebrates its first birthday this November, a pair of its exclusive launch titles - Dead Rising 3 and Ryse - will have made their way to PC. Dead Rising 3 is perhaps the more interesting and ripe for an enhanced PC release, with its large urban environment and dense zombie mobs. Capcom Vancouver helmed this conversion itself and we were excited to see what the studio might achieve on the less restrictive PC platform. The developer's previous PC work on Dead Rising 2 wasn't particularly stellar, with plenty of performance issues on hardware well beyond the recommended specs, but still, we were optimistic.
Dead Rising 3 has sold over 5 million copies, making it the top-selling game in the series despite being exclusive to Xbox One and PC.
This really needs a re-release. Enjoyed all 4 games with 3 probably being my second favourite.
It's 2013! I'm on my Xbox One and streaming from my laptop to my chromecast! Life couldn't be better!
Now I can stream my Xbox One from my TV to my phone to my tablet while I'm inside my refrigerator.
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.
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
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...
Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁
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.
They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.
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.
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.
It's a mess but I'm able to play it in 1080p with 70fps that drop to 50fps sometimes. I can't confirm any crashes or freezes but I ran into some unbelievable bugs and texture pop-ins during my 6 hours with the game already. Still it's a very enjoyable game and I'm glad to have waited for the PC version.
It's poorly optimized, maybe it will be fixed with time.
I already that the PC version of Dead Rising 3 was a half-baked port when I read that it was going to be capped at 30 frames, but I didn't know that the game actually ran worst than the Xbox One. They are most defiantly not going to get my money.
While it is a horrible port that runs like crap, it's still an excellent game I can't stop playing.
I didn't unlock the framerate, I'm happy with it running maxed out @ 1080p30fps solid because I know it can't run at 60fps whatsoever.
Just do yourself a favor, don't do a tech analysis - just play the game. You'll enjoy it.
EDIT: Plus, it's been known from the start that it's going to be a lousy port. Capcom themselves stated so.
Crappy port, better then the xbone. Exlected frankly.
