Dead Rising 3

If it’s a true “next-generation” game you’re after, look no further than Dead Rising 3. Capcom Vancouver’s gory, over-the-top zombie thriller is a technological masterpiece that amply showcases the power of Microsoft’s new Xbox One console. But more importantly, it’s also immensely and outrageously enjoyable.

The city of Los Perdidos is a bit too massive for its own good, but there is plenty to do and kill within its limits. And with an impressive next-gen presentation and endearingly spastic boss encounters, Dead Rising 3 is an easy recommendation to any new Xbox One owner.

Luckily, the game gets close to finding a happy medium between Dead Rising's signature weirdness and a slightly more traditional open-world format that makes this by far the most approachable game yet in the series.

Like a shuffling zombie with its eye on a hunk of meat, Capcom has stayed the path, offering a juiced-up Dead Rising experience that benefits from the next-gen hardware's added horsepower.

Los Perdidos certainly has its flaws – and so do some game design decisions that make this Zombie adventure feel more like Dynasty Warriors at times. But nonetheless it delivers undead splattering fun.

Dead Rising 3 excels at what it does best, which is mainly killing zombies in deeper ways as your undead-slaying skills grow over the game. And it’s smoother than ever to maximize that quality time of chainsawing a zombie in half. Yet the lack of combat annoyances only amplify the flaws of the writing and the lack of mission variety. Dead Rising is closer than ever to realizing its full potential, but its many mistakes make it clear that it isn’t quite there yet.

Get ready for a new generation of zombie-slaying thrills where there's only minimal gameplay to get in the way of the thrills!

I love this game! It had the interesting Day One edition also. I always loved survival horror of Dead Rising 3 with all the zombies.

Dead Rising 3 is an engaging and highly entertaining game that affords players considerable freedom in dispatching zombies through creative and varied means. The gameplay is polished and effectively immerses players in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a zombie epidemic. Destroyed storefronts, military checkpoints, and relentless hordes of undead vividly populate the environment. Crafting mechanics have been notably refined since Dead Rising 2, enhancing the overall experience. I particularly appreciate the shift in tone from the lighter, more humorous predecessors to a graver atmosphere in this installment—a change underscored by the adrenaline-pumping music that intensifies upon approaching a zombie horde.However, the narrative falls short. The story is often illogical, featuring implausible actions, underdeveloped characters lacking intelligence and memorability, and a protagonist, Nick, who appears naively compliant and perpetually serene. While the plot holds some appeal, it is ultimately forgettable and could have benefited from greater depth and **** side missions are similarly repetitive and monotonous. For instance, a character requests assistance in retrieving figurines, yet their locations instantly appear on the map despite no prior indication—rendering Nick’s knowledge of them implausible. Moreover, approximately three-fifths of these quests involve fetching items for others.Notwithstanding these shortcomings, Dead Rising 3 remains a solid title that has aged gracefully and surpasses the regrettable fourth chapter.

Um jogo bem divertido que não se leva a sério! A história é bem mediana, tá lá só pra cumprir tabela, a gameplay é muito boa com uma grande variedade de armas a combinar e matar uma (infelizmente) pouca variedade de zumbis, mas que é sustentada pela IMENSA quantidade de zumbis no mapa, principalmente se você pensar que esse jogo foi lançado em 2013.

This is Dead Rising repackaged and ported to the Xbox One. As a launch exclusive it really doesn't do the console justice. No innovation, no changes, just a slightly darker version of the original game.

Après les deux épisodes précédents qui étaient de véritables calamités, je n'attendais pas grand'chose du 3 ou rien pour ainsi dire, car il faut avouer que Capcon faiseur d'étrons depuis bien des générations, ça ne fait pas du tout rêver. Et pourtant ! et pourtant si Dead Rising n'est pas devenu bon, il est devenu presque acceptable... Quelques détails symptomatiques du particulièrement mauvais "game design" ont été lissés comme la sauvegarde qui n'impose plus d'aller aux gogues ou la possibilité de fabriquer des armes à la volée. Et les véhicules ! la partie vraiment réussie du jeu qui se marie à merveille à ce bac à sable désormais assez grand pour boulotter du zombi à une cadence industrielle. Du coup, il est possible en farmant comme un gros porc de se construire un perso enfin moins balourd et nul à chier. En ce qui concerne le reste, on surnage toujours quoi qu'il en soit dans le maniement foireux, le même inventaire merdique, les QTE à foison, les boss bien lourds, l'histoire sans intérêt et les missions chronopost. Le remplissage affecte bien entendu la carte truffée de conneries à récupérer et ramasser pour les victimes de la collectionnite. Le temps limité demeure pour la campagne et le reste, ce qui implique de recommencer de nombreuses fois pour tout faire : principe complètement con dans un monde ouvert ! Techniquement si le jeu n'est qu'en 720p, il n'en est pas moins agréable à l'oeil et maintient son 30 im/s malgré le nombre astronomique de morts vivants à l'écran, rapidement écrasés et éviscérés. Naturellement gore et riche en hémoglobine, il satisfait les instincts primaires avec un empressement étonnant. Enfin, dernier bon point (si, si, je vous jure) Dead Rising 3 est entièrement doublé en français, un doublage de qualité qui plus est ! Tout bien considéré, la licence Dead Rising a toutes les cartes en main pour devenir éventuellement un excellent jeu un jour ou l'autre si Captron se sort les doigts et prend des leçons de "game design" (on ne sait jamais). Présentement ce DR3 n'est qu'un brouillon bordélique et mal dégrossi qui parvient à divertir de temps à autre... c'est déjà une petite révolution en soi ! PS : signalons que DR3 se signale par un patch de 16 Go (seize gigas ouais ouais ouais) et qu'il se permet de grossir de 7 Go à l'issue, grimpant ainsi à 27 au lieu de 20 : c'est le contenu des DLC, prêt à être acheté...
