'Dead Rising 3' PC Release Date, Gameplay & Trailer: System Requirements & Where to Download
Get ready for another game with intense action and creative character customization as "Dead Rising 3" comes to PC on September 5.
Capcom announced that the zombie-smashing, million-selling game's third installment is now available for pre-order, and this success is greatly shared in a YouTube video by IGN's Luke Karmali. "Dead Rising 3" will cost $49.99.
What's in store for gamers in this upcoming game? Scott Butterworth of IGN comments on the trailer:
"The resolution has clearly jumped up a notch, as textures are noticeably more detailed and the world in general feels crisp and clear. Lighting and smoke effects have also improved slightly, and really, who doesn't love some enchanting sunbeams peeking through the branches of a mighty tree as they slaughter zombies by the dozen?"
In an interview by Game Spot, producer Jon Airhart said that the PC version of the game--initially released on Xbox One, will get a higher level of display. Airhart said there will be a "full suite of graphics options."
He added, "For PC, that meant we needed to go back and put extra work into optimizing the game for the full range of PC gaming hardware out on the market."
Meanwhile, Strategy Informer suggests that players start preloading the game this early, as "Dead Rising 3" takes up a whopping 30GB of space. Apparently, one might need some clearing, especially if the hard drive is not very spacious.
The source added a backgrounder, saying that the title "bundles up all four of the 'Untold Stories of Los Perdidos' DLC packs (essentially extra mission from the point of view of other characters), and also adds higher resolutions and Seam cloud and controller support."
Game Spot added that "new weapons, vehicles, and costumes will also be included in the DLC, which can be then be used in the main game by protagonist Nick."
