Dead Rising 3 versus Dead Rising 2 graphics

Better textures on the character models, interior walls, massive improvement in lighting and shadows, and much more detail on the zombies themselves. Dead Rising 3 is leaps and bounds ahead of its last gen predecessor in the graphics department.

Only those with poor eyesight or who are in denial would say there is little to no difference between last and next gen DR.

ZombieKiller3773d ago

I wish this game wasn't an exclusive as I was looking to pick this one up, oh well!

As for the differences, I see quite alot without playing the game. I've seen so many videos on this game and to me, it looks truly next gen. I love the detailed world and the dark gritty graphics.

There is something about the gritty dark "unreal" world I absolutely love. I mean graphics like Arkham, or Gears. Not sure if this is running on the Unreal engine or not, but this game looks way better than it's predecessor and is right up there with the best of the gritty IMO. Gotta love that next gen lighting despite what system you have!

Automatic793773d ago

This game is fun. Just beat it a few weeks ago and can't wait for DLC.

Kingthrash3603773d ago

there is a difference graphically between 2&3. the question here should be if dr3 is graphically possible on the 360. imo its is.
maybe not as many zombies but there are a few 360 games that look better than dr3.
just my opinion tho...i really dont care either way.

Kingthrash3603772d ago

lol man thos fanboy glasses please take them off. i said graphically..not scale, not how many zombies just graphically.
its vs dr2, like the title says, but ofcorse it looks better than dr2 because all sequals typically look graphically better than its predecessor. looks at ground zeros on ps360, out does dr3..no?
thats my point its looks like it could be graphically done on the 360...

Pogmathoin3773d ago

Its not poor eyesight. Its clearly those who hate Xbox and BS spreads like wildfire here, so its nothing more, nothing less.... Fanboyism... And before those rage, some say the same about some PS4 games looking barely better than PS3.... Its what the net has made of gamers....

DejectedJeff3773d ago

dude DR 3 has no loading screens, dead rising 2 had 20 second loading screens after every cutscene and new location. that's pretty substantial leap, plus the increase of zombies on screen and better graphics.

abstractel3773d ago

Bad video but I agree with RaidensRising.

The graphics are obviously better, but I'm disappointed with the zombie variety. If you look closely, every single Zombie has the same body texture with the exact same scars. Nearly the exact same face on them, just different hair and clothes. That's about the only real difference. I'm expecting more than that from next gen, so hopefully that gets better in Dead Rising 4.

OpieWinston3773d ago

Were we playing different copies of DR3? I was playing the game and if you get on top of a car and look at each of the zombies...I guarantee you..you will see a difference in the faces. I couldn't find a zombie with the same facial structure and scars as another...Unless I killed it and it respawned.

porkChop3773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

I'm talking about in this specific video, when he gets on top of the table to show off the "variety" of zombies yet they're all the same body with different hair and clothes.

OpieWinston3773d ago

Did you expect different body types for your average zombie.
Did you play DR3?
Because there is more than just one type of zombie in it. As you can see he's lvl 11 and probably isn't that far in the story. You encounter more and more different types of zombies with different body/facial types in the game as you progress through it.

Dead Rising 3 isn't the perfect game...but it's a major step up from DR2. That's what I believe is next gen. When you're able to not only up the graphical fidelity of the game overall but you're able to add more features into the game and open more doors through things like Kinect and better specs.

JaredH3773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

I was too busy killing zombies to notice similarities in the hundreds that were on screen. Literally in my 30 hours of game-time I never even thought or looked for what you stated, not even once.

sak5003773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

Even look at the details on the hat it's pretty obvious DR3 is huge improvement. Unfortunately not my type of game.

Would love to see the new gen versions of

GTA
Gears of War
PGR
Halo
Fable
BF5 (the true new gen version not the half hearted port)
COD (as above)

Automatic793773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

Its a shame that it is not your type of game. I thought the same thing until I beat it last week I had a lot of fun with it. Waiting on DLC.

tigertron3773d ago

What a great idea, let's compare the graphics of a 2011 last-gen game to a 2013 current-gen game...

fattyuk3773d ago

I'm glad someone said it before me,

I can understand comparing different gen versions of the same game, but this comparison is just a complete waste of time.

I'm expecting a graphic comparison of resident evil 1 to resident evil 4 next.

Chris5583773d ago

yea well dead rising looks like shit on xbox one the previous ones too but the game is fun

curtis923773d ago

The lighting is the big difference. Character models, animations... most the same.

What Happened To The Dead Rising Series?

Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.

Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...

Darksonic221370d ago

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl1370d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

MadLad1370d ago

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic221370d ago

Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.

ColdSin1370d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

darthv721370d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1370d ago

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

RamRod881370d ago

They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.

DeadManMMX1370d ago

This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.

Gamerking821370d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891370d ago

haha yes it may....good one.

The paddle bat and string ball from Fallout should be considered too.

Chaos_Order1433d ago

I would've included Tira's ring blade from Soul Calibur.
