Quick Look: Dead Rising 3

I really want the moustached guy to stop staring at me. The uncanny valley has arrived. Topic: looks fun, though I haven't played the previous games.

This game looks great, and I look forward to the day when they eventually give it away for free or $5 or whatever on steam/ps+/XBL

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW VINNY?!

Axes > Spears

I can understand where you're both coming from. Personally though, I found item management and the timer very frustrating to put up with. I feel like they work well in a smaller game like Case Zero but just hinder/penalize player freedom in a larger game. It would be like adding a ticking clock to Skyrim or Fallout 3/NV main story line - there's no real benefit to the player, it just adds frustration and prevents you from seeing/completing content.

This is by far the best game I've seen for either console. If I was buying a new console, it would be the X1 along with Dead Rising 3, Fifa 14 and Forza. But I'm going to wait at least a year and I already have Forza 4 and PC Fifa 14.

JUNK-CAR-LO

A shame that another franchise got dude-bro'd for the worse. I guess ill play it when it comes out for pc in a year or so.

Solid frame rate should come first before anything else.

I SAW A LAWNMOVER SQUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE!!!!!!!

Also glad to see they streamlined the combo weapon system, that was so god damn tedious in DR2. Will propably still be playing this on Nightmare, the timer and insane difficulty was some of my favorite parts of the old Dead Rising games

Watching this QL makes me want to play Saint's Row the Third...

Never cared for the past games but this one looks pretty good from a gameplay standpoint.

Multiple times I yelled at the screen, "Get out of the menus and play the game!" It was getting absurd.

Have to say this looked really unimpressive to me technically, not great framerate, lengthy loading times, muddy textures, not great character models and pop in... While I understand that the video compression does it no favours this left me severely underwhelmed outside of number of zombies on screen.

Agree with is as well, this really didn't do anything for me.

Quits to menu 08:35,

menu

finishes loading at 09:31

The fuck? (Restarting CH3, 10:11 to 10:55, oddly enough)

Also those fonts are stupidly tiny. I'm at arms reach of a 24" monitor, fullsizing the video good luck reading that quest log shit. I guess it's developed on 32" monitors on desks and not a thought is given..

"What they're losing in Ps they're making up for in a lot of other places" not graphically in any way that's for certain. At least this gone-gold version continues looking playable at this stage of the game with framedrops never getting in the way.

I could get lost forever in those pores

Los Perdidos sounds like a Resident Evil virus.

this looks really monotonous. look lika a gta with zombies.

The fact that I'll be playing this game on Friday has made me not care that my PS4 is broken.

Of course if my Xbox One arrives and doesn't work either my head might explode.

Day one. I can't wait. This looks too good for me to miss.

Kind of amusing hearing Exasperated Jeff trying to move things along a bit.

I'm not sure why Brad thinks its so impressive that there are not loading, alot of open world games this gen didn't have any load times. If it did fast travel instantly like Dead Island I might be able to see it as impressive.

I think it's more impressive when you compare it to how it was on the previous games. Yeah, just having an open world game with no loading times ain't new but having it that way for a Dead Rising game (instead of having all the damn loads that previous games had when you moved from place to place) is quite an improvement for the series.

I'm sure It'll get a good score, but from what I'm seeing, it's just running through a town killing far more zombies than should be on screen. But It's understandable since like PS4, the Xbox 1 wants to show off its graphical power.

I never got those games. Looks boring after an hour or two. Also, I don't think people be should be contented with bad frame rates, especially on consoles where you can't lower the setting to boost the fps.

Looks Great !

Huh, +1 for Xbox One on having a game that I would actually like to play, but -1 for it being on a system that I don't want to own.

"Hello, it's time to kill." YYYYEEEESSSS!

"Show me your Mega Dragon."

Vinny read every Quick Look talking point. :P

This is some Dead Rising. I'd like a PC version since Dead Rising 2 got one but Microsoft are incredibly stingy on their exclusives. Wonder if Capcom kept that door open...

That's what they did with Knack.

True, like GTA

Huh, I had my comment deleted yesterday where I mentioned I bought a PS4 after being an Xbox Live subscriber since the beginning. Or maybe it was because I put my PSN ID in my message looking for some decent friends to add to my friends list. Are we not allowed to do that? Seriously, I don't know.

Anywho's, I may get an Xbone next year after they drop the price (camera). Titanfall looks great and I am really curious about Project Spark. I love me some creation games (LBP, Minecraft, etc.).

This looks like a dumb, fun time. Might have to pick it up after all.

I don't know if we're not 'allowed', but there is a forum thread dedicated solely to the adding of fellow Giant Bombers on PS4. I haven't done any adding, but at least 15 people have added me.

@icantbestopped:

Thank you for the tip duder!

Oooooh I don't know if I can take a whole other generation of zombies.

Liking these four person quick looks.

@peritus: Yeah, I own every console but this generation ITS NOT WORTH IT!

I am not saying they are bad, but in terms of technology a computer is more then enough for all my gaming needs. I do believe eventually all these exclusives will go on steam in years and thats when I will play them.

I usually write off zombie games as "not for me" but this looks really fun.

@hockeymask27: Thats daft. If you want the game you want an XBOX because console allegiances shouldn't matter. Its about the games, not the platforms.

The way they back up some pretty negative damning stuff they say with lots of positive comments and say at the end its great and worth getting seems a little disingenuous, just saying

I get the feeling that watching this Quick Look over and over gives an accurate depiction of playing this game. But then again, having played the previous Dead Rising games exhaustively I'm burnt-out on them.

I don't give two fucks about anything except playing a fun game...and this looks fun. Loved the other DR games to varying degrees and I'm excited to play a new one.

@alloguv: What damning stuff?

I don't get all the negative comments here, this looks very familiar to the build I saw at PAX and that was very impressive.

The amount of zombies and lack of load times (DR1 and DR2 had the worse load times ever on 360) is really impressive. DR1 and 2 felt really archaic to me with those weird survivor based game design elements that just made me super mad.

Not much a racing guy so Forza while looking impressive doesn't do much for me. KI and DR3 have me pretty pumped. Still not sure on xbox one though :(

I don't think they thought they'd like it, so they are struggling with that fact throughout.

Personally, as impressive as that horde is, I'm not sure I'd want to do much more than drive through them once. Dead Rising 1 really scratched this itch plenty for me.

Man, if Jeff wasn't there, we would've gotten a QL of Brad fiddling with menus and upgrade trees.

The Xbox One launch lineup is really impressing me. DR3 actually looks quite good, despite that stupid "wall guy" style image that's been going around trying to poo poo this games graphics. Seems like good fun as well. I'll give this a go.

They say lots of negative stuff about the graphics, but then immediately say how impressive they are cos of all the numbers of zombies on screen, even when Patrick points out the previous games were like this. Then they say ridiculous things like "I would take this number of zombies over graphical fidelity or smooth frame rate any day" and "no load times throughout this open world".

Say negative stuff about the gameplay, lacklustre story, but then say that it looks great and "super awesome" anyway. It just seems like they have no interest in this but are faking excitement for whatever reason. Disingenuous.
