A few parts from the Dead Rising 3 preview:

After several months of so-so looking footage featuring muted colors and a flagging framerate, I had begun to lose hope on Dead Rising 3. But by the five-minute mark of my two-hour play session, most of my doubts had melted, giving way to smiles, a few laughs, and my very first glimmers of anticipation for Capcom’s open-world zombie slaughterfest.

First things first: how’s the performance? Dead Rising 3 features massive packs of zombies roaming the ruined streets of an open world that’s reportedly larger than that of the first two games combined. In earlier builds, it didn’t look like the game engine could handle the stress, but the latest round of optimizing has all but completely eliminated the issue. Capcom is targeting 1080P/30fps and at this point Dead Rising 3 is hitting that 90% of the time. The other 10% usually involved craziness like igniting and flattening hundreds of zombies at once with a steamroller-equipped, fire-spewing motorcycle

The world and the crafting aren’t all that’ve expanded either. Our hero Nick Ramos can be leveled up and built out in far more different ways than his forebearers. In fact, there’s a few RPGs out there that have less customization than Dead RIsing 3 serves up. As you earn PP and level up you gain attribute points which can be spent on one of seven different stats or 22 different crafting categories. At certain milestones, new perks open up, further expanding your combat options. Of course, the sickest ones are locked away until level 50, but once you get there, you’ll become a nigh unstoppable zombie-slaying juggernaut.



It's looking great. Wasn't too interested in the lineup to begin with, but it helps that Ryse actually is good. Looked a bit too stiff for my taste at E3.

I'm wondering if I'm going to import it from UK this year instead of waiting. Does anyone know if there is some sort of stuff I'll miss out on if I choose to do so?

My opinion is that, just like Nintendo with Mario 3D World, they did a bad job when they showed the game for the first time.Now they´ve come a long way.



The guy states Ryse is "hands down, at least from a pure technical pov" the best looking next gen launch game !!!

 


Srsly - that is an amazing, huge, statement !

 

 

 


PS. 900p is the BESTp

Looks good.  Question.  Will I be able to play this game withough finishing DR2?  I'm guessing the stories are not tied together.

 

I didn't finish DR2 when it was free.  Just got frustrated with that fat ass cook boss battle, and even though I finally beat him, I got frustrated again with the GOD AWEFUL save system.  So I stopped playing the game, and I am OK not picking it up again.

Honestly, if RYSE is a testament to what the X1 can do, X1 will be fine.  The PS4 is a more powerful system, but at some point it doesn't matter it's about great games (which the PS4 will have plenty of too).

All my online friends are getting X1 first, so it looks like that will be the directing I go short term.

I´m not qualified to give you an answer since I never played DR2, but from the little I know, DR3 has nothing to do with DR2..and even if I´m wrong, and if you do want to play it, will you stop yourself from playing DR3 just because of the story?

Dude, the X1 will be fine, remember Ryse is a launch title, and it already looks that good..imagine the kinds of things the machine will be displaying a few years from now.Both systems will be beastly.

I honestly think Wii U games look good (new Mario, Kart, etc.) so I'm not hard to please trust me.
