Dead Rising 3 Title Update Is Why Xbox One Needs External Storage Now

Users clamoring for Microsoft to add USB storage support to its Xbox One entertainment console just got more reason to demand that Microsoft add the feature sooner rather than later:  a game patch for Dead Rising 3.

Silly article, the DR3 update doesn't take up extra space... It mostly replaces old files.

bessy673794d ago (Edited 3794d ago )

Yeah, the file started out at 19.9 gigs and after 2 updates (3 gigs and 13 gigs) the file size is now 23.2 gigs. Trust Maria to ignore the facts and post this crap anyways.

andrewsqual3794d ago

Fair enough. How about the fact that USB storage is not supported yet because Microsoft have no idea how they are going to do this without opening piracy to the console like they did on 360 in April 2010 when they added USB storage last time.
All it takes is the hackers to reverse engineer the packaging of the files and then be able to unlock any games to full versions. The online only was supposed to save them from this but the system's overall protection against the hackers is all wide open now.

I thought everybody knew the XB1 updates replace older files. XB1 updates act as replacing older builds with new builds. Guess this happens when you troll more than you have smarts.

Maria is an alternate account with a crazy mod on Sony's payroll. Nasim/Shmee/NewMonday/Maria and more, are all the same people.

I would assume the extra 2 gigs would be mostly adding in extra content to make the game compatible with for those who choose not to buy the DLC but still want to be able to play with those who do.

Gamer6663794d ago

Yes, when the patch started the game took 24 gb... It still only takes 24 gb on my X1.

Also, I would assume MS' reserved HDD space probably is where the temp files were downloaded to...

BanginBiscuitz3794d ago

Gotta love false titles lol. The files are overwritten and barely adds any extra size to the game file. Silly article, just pure silly. They really need to start checking posts harder or something.

KonsoruMasuta3794d ago

I was coming here to point that out. But the article is right about one thing, people need external storage support as soon as possible.

Pogmathoin3794d ago

I know... Where do you go here to leave a ticket to complain about people like this?

Ilovetheps53794d ago

I just checked the page and it says that it got 5/10 approvals. No clue how it passed the approval process with only half of the approvals needed.

kewlkat0073794d ago (Edited 3794d ago )

I'm not sure bro..I'm not sure...some must have close friends on here

MrPerfect8133794d ago

I would be more concerned with data caps and your broadband provider. Like everyone else has said, the patch barely adds any size to the game. 13gbs is a lot to download though

cyguration3794d ago

Yep, it's easy to extend those caps when games average 30GB+ and you have patches that clock in at 13GB.

Steam is already testing my limits every time I open it and 10 games need patches ranging from 10MB to 1GB.

showtimefolks3794d ago

while the author is wrong about DR3, it would be helpful if both sony and ms allow us to store games on external harddrives with system attachment. Meaning you have to sign in with your profile to be able to play those games off the external hard drive

annus3794d ago

Internal harddrives are usually far faster than external, and since developers are making their games based on a single speed it means they can tweak things like texture streaming. Slow it down by a massive amount and you can get all sorts of weird, unwanted effects.

The ability to actually back up content to an external harddrive would be nice though.

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...

Darksonic221408d ago

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

InklingGirl1408d ago

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

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

Darksonic221408d 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.

ColdSin1408d ago

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

darthv721408d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1408d ago

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

RamRod881408d 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.

DeadManMMX1408d 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.

Gamerking821408d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18891408d ago

haha yes it may....good one.

The Decade's Bizarre and Quirky Gaming News

VGChartz's Patrick Day-Childs: "2020 is upon us! The past decade has had some downs, like the influx of monetisation within full games, Blizzard's community backlash and EA winning the worst company in America award twice, but also some ups, like the leaps in understanding gaming from more mainstream companies to wholesome news like gamers helping preserve a controller signed by someone’s deceased mum.

The decade has also been the highlight of some… bizarre news, and I decided collect together some of the more obscure and quirky stories to make you giggle or question what the hell happened this decade."
