Dead Rising 3 is one of the only horror titles that will be released as a next generation console launch titles later this year and we've already seen quite a good bit of footage. While the game is taking a more realistic approach to the material this time around, the latest screenshots show that you can still have plenty of fun with costume and weapon options.
As we reported previously, the new game takes place ten years after the events of Dead Rising 2, with players taking on the role of new hero, named Nick Ramos. Dead Rising 3 is being developed by Capcom Vancouver as an Xbox One-exclusive launch title and should be released in November. Along, with the new screenshots, we've also included the first screenshots, gameplay videos, and official feature details from Capcom:
"Features
Dark, open world.
A bigger open world than ever before in the Dead Rising series--bigger than the worlds of DR 1 and 2 combined. The Xbox One hardware will also allow for a more seamless experience, with fast load times and awesome next-gen visuals.
Also expect lots more zombies on screen at a time, with vastly improved AI. You'll have to be creative to stay alive here.
Non-stop sandboxin'.
Hundreds of weapons scattered throughout the world and a nearly limitless variety of combo weapons. Combine weapons anywhere at any time!
Vehicles also play a much bigger role than ever before, but you'll still be vulnerable to the zombie threat when you're behind the wheel.
Easy to play, hard to master.
The accessible pick-up-and-play joy of a DR game, with a new save system and ability to explore the world without time constraints.
BUT! At the same time, you longtime DR folks will enjoy Nightmare Mode, which will bring us a return to classic DR rules, complete with countdown clock and other restrictions. More on Nightmare Mode to come, guys.
Coop Campaign!Play with a buddy over Xbox Live, with drop-in, drop-out play.
SmartGlass and Kinect integration.
Use SmartGlass integration to turn your smartphone or tablet into a "Zombie Defense and Control PDA." Overwhelmed by the zombie masses? Use the device to call an airstrike and even the odds. The PDA will also give you live missing briefings and in-game calls, and keep track of your mission progress. It even has a map to help you find hidden items and locations of interest, plus a real-time news ticker to keep you aware of conditions around Los Perdidos.The Kinect, meanwhile, will let you use noise to distract zombies and use motion controls to fight your way out of close encounters."
