The variety of activities and exploration opportunities in Los Perdidos is a little overwhelming. There’s still an element where Nick can bring along someone he saved at a safe house, but it’s still not great as it will quickly end in that survivor’s demise – but at least they’re more mobile this time. The artificial intelligence in past games has been less than satisfactory, so this time, as soon as Nick saves a survivor, they escape on their own. The biggest and by far best new adjustment Capcom Vancouver has made is that survivors who need saving won’t be tagging along. Vehicle combinations are also introduced, allowing Nick to ride in style around Los Perdidos, or in safely, depending how the player wants to go. The more creative the weapon is and the higher the combo meter ticks, the more PP Nick will obtain, allowing him to level up and assign points to various attributes. Hacking through the hordes of undead with unique combo weapons has never felt so good, and being able to craft items on the fly now is a nice bonus and saves a lot of time over finding a bench.
The gameplay mechanics are fairly similar to what we’ve come to expect with the Dead Rising name. This gives the player plenty of time to explore the vast city and maybe help survivors on the way. The story itself is pretty cut and dry as the government is covering up their efforts in evacuating Los Perdidos and look to bomb the city in five days. One moment he’s executing thousands of zombies in his underwear, the next he feels sick about having to kill a psychopath. The Dead Rising franchise has always had tongue and cheek humor, and while the third iteration certainly has a strong cast of characters and psychopaths, Nick’s somewhat conflicting demeanor dampens the fun. Unfortunately, because of this, the color palette has gone from a bright, colorful mall into a rather dark, grey world that seems to be somewhat indicative of the semi-serious tone the story has. This gives the developers an opportunity to build different structures than what we’ve become accustom to such as mansions, hospital, graveyards and more. The zombie apocalypse is upon us is your PC gaming rig up to snuff to process the hundreds of detailed zombies on screen at once?įorget the Wiillamette Parkview and Palisades Malls as Dead Rising 3 has players traversing through the fictional Californian city of Los Perdidos, which is broken up into four districts. Dead Rising 3 is the first game to break out of its exclusivity bubble, with Ryse: Son of Rome coming next month, and has hit the PC platform to moderate success. Forza Motorsport 5, Killer Instinct and Dead Rising 3 lead the system going into 2014, but those who didn’t own the console were left without their zombie murder simulator. Despite its share of disappointing releases, the Xbox One’s exclusive launch lineup was solid.
