    Excellent and never doubted it. The builds we have been seeing were from E3, so optimization, spec bumps, improved software tools. More than enough to get the game running smooth.

    What? 30 frames? Why not 60? We're talking next-gen, for fuck's sake.

    there are a lot of zombies in that game yo. They all have AI, reasonably high def graphics... and it's a launch game.

    To be expected with the amount of stuff going on "behind the scenes" in that game.
    As long as it doesn't drop any it should be fine really, especially for a game like this.

    Ew, 30 fps! A game like this should be at 60 precisely because of all the action.

    I saw a stage demo of this at PAX and it looked really sharp (and amazing!). I would want 60 fps ideally, but it being a launch game combined with what they showed during that demo makes it almost impossible for them to pull off 60fps this early into next gen.

    Honestly after that demo I went from never caring about any dead rising games, to being kind of excited for dead rising 3 and it being a potential game that might switch me over to xbox one (if its reviewed well).

    don't be a moron, some people actually can't stand 30 FPS much, and it really gets in the way of their gameplay. While plenty can, and some people can't even tell when it dips below that, your comment is completely ignorant of anything. Also, get over yourself.

    We're talking current gen PC hardware actually, and 1.3/1.8 Tflops. That's half the TFLOPs of a GTX780 or 7970. They're console, not miracle machines. Just what do you expect out of these next generation consoles? I accepted it a long time ago. They're not that hot.

    Don't get me wrong, devs will still get great looking games out of it, console development environment will help, and DR3 has a ton of enemies on screen and is basically an open world game but they're modest machines at best.

    In addition, I just highly doubt you're going to see too many open world games running at 60fps. Even, next next-generation. 10 years from now, you'll still have 30fps games just because some games benefit more from graphics, physics, or more enemies on screen than frame rate. So unless we ever get to the point where developers have so much power they barely use up 50% of it, this trade-off will always be made(i.e. Probably never).

    If you want 60fps as a baseline your best bet is cloud gaming. Turns out 60fps is beneficial to latency, so there devs might have a reason to shoot for 60 more consistently.

    Developers will almost always choose pretty graphics over fps. I wouldn't expect 60 to be standard this generation.

    30FPS looks and plays fine with the motion blur and slow-ish gameplay the Dead Rising games have, in my opinion. Somewhat doubtful that they can maintain even that, though.

    Looks like it is not locked at all and pretty rushed.

    It's also unfortunate that the game runs at far from the promised locked 30fps - rather a chugging 20fps during the zombie action while out in the big city. Compared to the shaky E3 build seen just months ago this is still a respectable step forward, and of course many of the game's technical shortcomings come with the unique circumstances of meeting a hardware launch. All this amounts to an intriguing first attempt, then, but needless to say we're eager to see how Capcom Vancouver follows up on its sandbox survival-horror formula when it's given more breathing room with the deadline, more experience with the hardware, and factoring in the next-gen platform's strengths from the very start.

    DriveClub ate the delay and that was a first party Sony deal, in order to give players a better, more complete game.

    I dont think this games problem is going to be the 30fps cap, what ive saw so far look uninspired, very grey and just plain ugly and this is coming from a fan of the genre and the series. Maybe it will suprise me but if that was number one reason for getting the Xbox One id be bummed right now.

    @darji:

    Thank you based Capcom? Sigh...

    I sure hope two of my all time favourite dev companies, Konami and Capcom, get their shit together this gen. Gen 7 has largely been a embarrassment for both, with some exceptions. This isn't a good start for Capcom though...

    If it runs this bad, they should've delayed it. It ran like absolute shit at E3, and it doesn't seem like they've been able to fix that completely. I'm gonna give the Xbone the benefit of the doubt here, and blame it on the game coming in way too hot.

    Oh I am pretty sure this has not much to do with the power of the One but rather with a launch title being rushed out. I mean this frame rate is really terrible and there is no real reason for it to drop normally.

    That looks a bit rough. Hopefully they got things running a little better for the retail version. It's kind of a shame about some of the technical problems because the game looks like a ton of fun.

    Frame rate locked at 30 is okay, but if it's just capped at 30 and it drops down to 15 sometimes then that's pretty bad. They might be able to fix it with a patch couple of weeks after the release, or hopefully sooner.

    Yeah, the article isn't clear about what build this is that they tested. Although, I wouldn't be all that surprised by this game being a bit shaky. Ideally, it probably would've been pushed back six months, but this has too much "launch day" pressure behind it.

    Man, I really hope this game is given the polish it deserves, if not by launch then at least sometime after. I plan to buy a PS4 first, but even then I'm going to wait a few months, so the idea of getting an XB1 is still pretty far off. Nonetheless, I certainly hope that by the time I (most likely) get around to it, there'll be a great Dead Rising game awaiting me.

    Dead Rising 2 (and Off The Record) was certainly rather framey on PS3, though, and I generally had no problem with it. So, hopefully the same might carry true for Dead Rising 3... It's such a slow-paced series after all, with a heavy emphasis on animation-priority and the like, so a sub-par framerate doesn't quite hamper it as much as it would other games.

    Pretty sure every PS4 game barring BF4 (900p) is confirmed to be 1080p native. And quite a few of them are 60fps.

    Yeah. Aside from some of those screens that DF posted, most of the stuff I've seen has looked pretty good. I'm not doubting there are problems, but I haven't seen anything that's looked bad enough that it dissuaded me from being really excited to play the game.

    The previous Dead Rising games had performance issues, and that didn't stop me from enjoying the hell out of them.

    @i_stay_puft: The 360 versions of Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 both could get a little shaky when you were really pushing it, primarily just when using vehicles or in some of the larger areas with a ton of enemies.
