Tras un Dead Rising 2 something soulless, Blue castle games, converted into Capcom vancouver returns to the charge with a proposal that is too continuous, which means that this Dead Rising 3 carries both defects and virtues in this delivery, for now, exclusive to Xbox One.
Never before in any other game have you seen so many zombies on the screen, and it is that in this program it is easy to run into real tides of undead that can even slow down our pace even when mounted on vehicles. Without further delay, we are going to gut you the sensations that it has left us Dead Rising 3.
Nick Ramos is a mechanic from the fictional city of The lost - clearly inspired by Los Angeles - where a zombie outbreak has occurred and the government is expected to end the biological threat through a nuclear attack. While the countdown to the bombing takes place, we will have to save other survivors and carry out missions in the purest style Grand Theft Auto. And it is that the new scenario where the game takes place is an open city in contrast to the places where the previous ones took place Dead Rising, reaching a sandbox touch that other games did not have.
Of course, the hallmarks of the saga remain intact: brutal hordes of zombies, traps, vehicles with which to destroy everything, gore, black humor, absurd weapons, side quests and, of course, some charismatic psychopaths who may be what improve the game. As for the cooperative mode, it returns allowing the second player to embody Dick ramos, the protagonist's brother, and the game offers a filter to more appropriately choose our virtual partner according to the type of game we want to carry out.
One of the things that many players liked the least was how repetitive the experience was. Dead Rising with the hours, and that, unfortunately, also happens in this third part: the monotony will be more than evident when you realize that you have spent hours and hours doing exactly the same type of missions. And watch out for the zombie tides, very impressive in a first contact, but when we are already in advanced points of the game, it is very heavy to move between them to travel distances and there is no way to make fast trips. Special mention to the AI, specifically to that of the other survivors, which is too basic and can give us some displeasure.
The size of The lost It is much more extensive than that of the other scenarios Dead Rising, and also without any loading time. Still, the level of detail is not very high and it is easy to find too often copied buildings and accentuated popping unthinkable in a new generation console. Another weak point of the technical section are the 720p maximum resolution and 30 fps to those who run the game, with quite sharp frame drops, we also have textures that take time to load, others too flat, saw teeth ... The truth is that no one would expect these blemishes in a game that promised to be more in the premiere of Xbox One.
At the sound level, you can already get an idea of what you are going to find: shots, moans, explosions ... With an ost that goes unnoticed, not like the curious detail that, for the first time in the franchise, we will have the voices dubbed into Spanish , although yes, nothing remarkable. Mention should also be made of the numerous winks and Easter eggs referring not only to the universe of Dead Rising, there will also be presence of other titles of Capcomas Mega Man o resident evil.
Dead Rising 3 It is the same game that we saw three years ago from the same studio, except that dressed, or rather poorly dressed, with next gen clothes: it gives the feeling that, in the face of so much technical slip, the game has been elaborated too hastily to arrive just in time at the launch of Xbox One. The freedom given with the new sandbox touch is a point in its favor, but it has not been properly used, especially due to the repetitiveness of the game's missions.
However, the hallmarks, such as gore, zombie hordes and black humor remain in force in this Dead Rising 3 that, far from innovating or having polished the defects of the previous games, it remains very continuous and neglected, but thanks to its personality, fans may enjoy a few hours of entertainment with this program, as for other gamers, it is better that you go with leaden feet.
