Dead Rising is one of Xbox’s premier exclusive franchises, especially since the zombie craze is still going strong. Its next installment’s release date is set for this fall, but it will not be coming out on the 360. Larry Hyrb, aka Major Nelson, stated on Twitter that any rumors saying Dead Rising 3 is releasing for the 360 are false. It’ll release on November 22nd exclusively for the Xbox One alongside the new system.
The game’s producer from Capcom said that they initially started developing the game for the 360, but the system simply couldn’t handle everything they wanted to do. Apparently, the game world is going to be larger than the first two games combined!
Enhanced Gameplay and Features
Dead Rising 3 promises to bring a host of new features and enhancements that leverage the power of the Xbox One. The larger game world is just the beginning. Players can expect a more immersive experience with improved graphics, more detailed environments, and a higher number of on-screen zombies. The game will also feature a dynamic day and night cycle, which will affect zombie behavior and add a new layer of strategy to the gameplay.
One of the most exciting additions is the SmartGlass integration, which allows players to use their smartphones or tablets as a second screen. This feature can be used to call in airstrikes, set waypoints, and access exclusive missions. The Kinect functionality will also be utilized, enabling voice commands to interact with the game world and control the protagonist, Nick Ramos.
Story and Setting
The story of Dead Rising 3 is set in the fictional city of Los Perdidos, California, ten years after the events of Dead Rising 2. Players will take on the role of Nick Ramos, a young mechanic with a mysterious past. Nick must find a way to escape the city before a military strike wipes out both the living and the undead. Along the way, he will encounter other survivors, each with their own stories and motivations, adding depth to the narrative.
The game will also feature a new crafting system, allowing players to combine various items to create unique weapons and vehicles. This system encourages creativity and experimentation, making each playthrough a unique experience. For example, players can combine a sledgehammer with a buzzsaw to create the “Sledge Saw,” a devastating weapon that can cut through hordes of zombies with ease.
I’ve never been a huge fan of the Dead Rising games, largely because I’m not a huge fan of zombies. I like The Walking Dead as much as the next guy, but zombies get boring to me fast. They were great games, just snooze-fests after a couple of hours in my opinion.
Dead Rising 3 will certainly be a selling point for the Xbox One though. Would you buy an Xbox One just for Dead Rising 3?
