Sounds like a dead rising game to me.

 

[keit4]

Vandal: 8.6/10

 

[T.O.P]

Destructoid

9/10



They've been higher than average on the 3 XB1 games they've reviewed so far.

Dayum


gonna give it a read

 

[danwarb]

Pretty much as expected.

Mindless, stupid, crazy open-world zombie slaughter game

That does sound pretty good though.

 

[Tempy]

Dead Rising was my Xbox360 system seller. Enjoyed Dead Rising 2 (played on PS3) even more. Even if it's just the same, Dead Rising 3 (along with Forza) are selling me on the Xbone - of course Netherlands has to wait until next year...

 

[Maninthemirror]

Forza 5?

Bf4 will be

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Some said this one is weaker from the series, but we're getting a bigger world with more missions, more objects to interact, etc. I have a hard time to understand what they want.

5 games later, the concept may be running thin for a lot of people. Not me though. Not me...

 

[GavinGT]

DR2 has a 79 Metacritic. Anything around that means this is definitely the game for me.

 

[Macsta]

pre-order REDEEMED

MUCH excite
such bought

 

[Bananajama]

Is Ryse the one embargoed till the 19th?

Could have sworn it was this one but a tad confused

Escapist - 8/10

[Hindle]

Great scores so far.

It's also cool they're scoring the game based on what matters - gameplay.

 

[Hasney]

Same thing for their PS4 reviews.

Yeah, and slaughtered Zelda 3DS.

I like Chris Carter, gonna give him a chance as their reviews editor and see what direction they take, but for me, Jim will be a hard act to follow.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Something something needs to be 4k/120fps visuals before a game can be fin/worth playing something something.

 

[slunk2zero]

Im assuming they resolved the framerate issues for these relatively high scores? I thought the game ground along at around 20fps?

 

[Syphon Filter]

about what DR usually gets, good reviews.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Man, the game looks really ugly.

Definitely looks like an up-ported 360 title.

 

[dofry]

I expect great things from DR4 when they get their technical shit together.

 

[danwarb]

Im assuming they resolved the framerate issues for these relatively high scores? I thought the game ground along at around 20fps?

Some reviews note a patch resolving the frame rate issues, while others complain about the frame rate issues. It'd be nice to get that cleared up.

Rev3Games - 3 out of 5

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Some said this one is weaker from the series, but we're getting a bigger world with more missions, more objects to interact, etc. I have a hard time to understand what they want.

Reviewers have always been a little more forgiving to open world games for whatever reasons. Like this for instance, reviewers are saying it is the weakest in the series and has plenty of bugs one even called it ugly, but still it is a 7-9 game partly because it is open world and there is a lot of ways to kill zombies. It is the same reason Assassin's Creed gets good reviews year after year and why Skyrim can be an unplayable mess and get GOTY. That may not line up with everyone else's personal thoughts though. I personally find most open world games boring, with Saints Row and Infamous being the exceptions.

Edit: Meant to add if this wasn't open world with more missions and objects then reviewers may have docked even more points and followed the trend of more the same reviews games like God of War, Gears of War, Killzone, and Arkham Origins have received of late.

EGM - 8/10

Didn't know that EGM still really existed and out of curiosity I clicked the link. I was greeted with a full page unskippable ad.

 

[hoos30]

Sounds like a game that I would wait on a Steam sale for. Pretty much what I was expecting, dollops of fun here and there, but not worth full price.

I read the text of the reviews the opposite way; fun when you have the freedom to do what you want, but bogged down when you have to fight the bosses. So, more fun than not.

 

[shandy706]

Hmmm...very solid scores as more come in. Maybe I won't wait as long.

I have a feeling KI and F5 will own me for a while though.

OUCH. Xbox One is nothing but 7/10's

Hey look at me! Another stupid post.

 

[rmanthorp]

OUCH. Xbox One is nothing but 7/10's

 

[DukeBobby]

OUCH. Xbox One is nothing but 7/10's

What's the PS4 then?

 

[BruiserBear]

These reviews seem quite generous to me based on what I've seen of the game.

How is that bad?

 

[Ray Wonder]

OUCH. Xbox One is nothing but 7/10's

Umm, what? Even if they were just 7/10's, that doesn't warrant an OUCH. lol. All of the scores are around what I expected; and far from ouch!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

OUCH. Xbox One is nothing but 7/10's

Mmmhmm, especially when you willingly choose to ignore the 8's, and 9's that many sites have been giving KI, DR3, Powerstar Golf, and Zoo Tycoon. Come on ...

 

[T.O.P]

OUCH. Xbox One is nothing but 7/10's

...ok

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Solid reviews!

 

[GodParticle]

I see some of those reviews bringing up technical issues. Was it ever determined if that DF analysis was the final build? Just curious if the framerate issues were ever ironed out

 

[frayne182]

These reviews seem quite generous to me based on what I've seen of the game.

Playing the game > seeing videos of the game.

 

[Marleyman]

These reviews seem quite generous to me based on what I've seen of the game.

Seen or played?

 

[Gorillaz]

Expected. Looks like the best launch title on both consoles

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Don't know if it's already been posted, but:

Gamecentral 7/10

In Short: The best Dead Rising so far and purveyor of some of the most entertainingly absurd weapons in all gaming – just don’t expect any depth or longevity.

Pros: Wonderful outrageous weapon and vehicle combos, and an impressive number of zombies on-screen at once. Lots to see and do and a usefully expanded co-op option.

Cons: The gameplay is still extremely shallow in almost every aspect, and the novelty wears away considerably after a few hours. Prescription-only combo weapons still seem a missed opportunity.

Rev3Games (Tara Long) 3/5

She basically says that while it's fun, it does not advance over its predecessors, feels padded and with some odd design decisions.

 

[danwarb]

Edging on "very good" now. I hope that patch is legit.

 

[Twinduct]

Looking forward to the DF to see the performance! Looking forward to this one in my tier 2 country ... eventually when it gets released.

 

[kunonabi]

Looks like DR3 is the best next gen launch title so far.

if we're going by reviews both resogun and NSMBU scored higher.

 

[zackmorris]

Seems like a good game.
So it's looking like neither next-gen console has a NEED to play game.

10/10

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/technology/gaming/review-dead-rising-3-is-the-xbox-one-launch-game-you-want/article15484310/

Capcom Vancouver’s gory, over-the-top zombie thriller is a technological masterpiece that amply showcases the power of Microsoft’s new Xbox One console.

This is, in fact, what “next-gen” should be all about. It isn’t just more graphical fidelity – Dead Rising 3 looks great too, to be sure – it’s about games that are more immersive and draw more emotion out of their players.

 

[Twin Tails]

day 1 of course. Problems with it seems to be, it's still Dead Rising.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Seems like a good game.
So it's looking like neither next-gen console has a NEED to play game.

Just the multiplats so far.

 

[Bobb]

oh wow. That is higher than I expected.
I really enjoyed the previous 2 games and hope it sells well.

....urge to buy Xbox One rising....

 

[ironcreed]

Sounds great. Some of the games I end up having the most fun with score in the 7-8 range. The Xbox One launch line up is looking quite solid indeed.

 

[Odrion]

Seems like a good game.
So it's looking like neither next-gen console has a NEED to play game.

But it looks like Xbone is going to have plenty of WANT to play games.

Also not surprised that some people here are being passive aggressive about the good scores the Xbone games are getting. How long until people start accusing EVERY GAME JOURNALIST of being worthless or paid by Microsoft?

 

[zackmorris]

Just the multiplats so far.

Which Multi-plat? I feel like every time I start up a game on my PS4 I'm back playing Resogun in no time.
