Dead Rising 3 Exclusive to Xbox One



Dead Rising 3 goes open world and will integrate SmartGlass.

Today, at Microsoft's E3 2013 conference, Capcom unveiled Dead Rising 3, which will be released as an Xbox One-exclusive this holiday season. No stranger to big environments, the third game in the series will expand on previous efforts, this time taking place across the open world city of Los Peridos. Fans of the series can, in turn, expect the franchise's trademark zombie hordes to be the largest the series has ever seen and on par with what one would expect to find in a bustling metropolis turned undead.

Luckily for Nick Ramos, the game's protagonist, it looks as though players will have abundant tools to fight back against the ravenous hordes that populate Los Peridos, inclusing hundreds of unique weapons that can be found throughout the city. You'll also be able to create and customize new weapons using items you find as you work your way through the city. During the game's demonstration, for instance, a flashlight was strapped to a gun to make it easier to aim in a dark space.

The game's open world nature will also give multiple options for evading hordes that are too large to fight. In the demo, Nick could be seen climbing up on rough tops and working his way through buildings to escape hungry zombies. Likewise, he was able to use flares to distract them and board a car that he then used to escape. The game will also feature SmartGlass integration which, during the demonstration, was used to call in artillery fire to help clear a path through a horde that was both too big to fight and avoid.

Judging based on how loosely Microsoft throws the word "exclusive" around it wouldn't surprise me if it was also for PC or if the PS4 version is released a month afterwards or something similar

I have exactly one question. Why would you sign an exclusivity deal with Xbone AFTER the train-wreck of the reveal? I understand about deals that happened beforehand; you didn't know exactly how bad the Xbone shitstorm would be. But now that you *know*, why would you say "I want my game to reach as few people as possible. Xbox, please give me an exclusivity deal."

Sorry, but nothing can convince me to buy a Xbox One.

So all those exclusives are just games I sadly will never be able to play, hopefully they all come to other platforms at one point.

(I plan on not buying a console, just upgrading my PC and if I really feel the need for one, I'll grab myself a PS4)

Was I the only one who thought it looked bland and nothing like the other games? Granted there are zombies and weapon combining, but it just looks like any other shooty game. Also, why does a mechanic have access to artillery strikes and why aren't the people firing just destroying all of the zombies? Game logic I suppose.

I hope if CrapCom releases the game later that players will do the same to CrapCom... and delay purchasing the game, for a month or so for the big FU CrapCom just tossed out to the PC and PS3 fans of Dead Arising 2.

I would imagine its a stupid decision on CrapComs behalf to limit this highly successful IP ... to one yet to be established market, you can bet anything that Activision wouldnt even think of limiting CoD, only a timed exclusive on the packs... hell they still release PC versions.

Calling it now... Dead Arising 3, fails to hit desired sales figures, CrapCom releases the game for 360, PC , PS3 and PS4.
(ignoring the whole only possible on XBox One comment).


(EDIT- meant a market not established -> XBox One)

Capcom must be wetting themselves in excitement over the XBone's DRM schemes.

I hope this is incorrect. I enjoy the Dead Rising games. But I will not buy this system for any number of games. Too many downsides... so many that I would be hard pressed to want to spend money on it, even if there are exclusives I really like.

Also, I can't believe Capcom is falling into this trap. They are by far one of the stupidest publishers around. Very few are dumb enough to sign exclusives anymore. But, that said, I doubt that the system will move that well, at least at first. This will mean a later release for everyone else, which is the worst case scenario.

I must say I'm impressed. Dead Rising always had/has it's charm. An open world with zombies and weapons everywhere in which to utilize. But like the others said; is this really an exclusive. Last time they said that then released on PS3 and PC iirc. Might this one be the same. Otherwise that's a nice feather in the Xbox One cap.

I'm sad they just couldn't scale it back far enough for the Ouya :p
Might as well strip it back for a Casio pocket calculator.

Too bad nobody is going to buy the Xbox One. Seriously that thing is so bad it's like something out of a Penny Arcade comic.

This looks like a pretty cool game, it got good once they showed going into buildings. But by heck there are a lot of zombies in it =D

It doesn't matter the game looks terrible anyway. They ripped all of the defining traits of a Dead Rising game out of 3 and turned it into a dudebro GTA clone with tactical nukes.

To think I believed in Capcom Vancouver.

After Dead Rising 2, I'll pass if this really is exclusive or not. For a hack'n'slash game, the hack'n'slash mechanics in DR2 weren't too great.
