Dead Rising 3 latest vid just got me very interested in the game.

Now that is looking a lot smoother, not sure what could have changed between GC and PAX though.

It's my understanding (and I could be wrong) that the GC demo was running on a build that was already several weeks old. If that's true, they had about 4-6 weeks or so to optimise it before PAX. Assuming the game is pretty much finished (and I believe it is), that's all they have left to do, get it running smoothly. Hopefully that video is proof they're doing just that and we can expect a lovely smooth game upon release.

Is that running on an Xbox one or PC because it looks so much smoother now...i mean the same parts looked about 5-10 fps in a vid from a month ago but now it looks much smoother.

I know its probably a later build but could it just be running on a pc?

Either way this is the only downside of getting a ps4 for me as this looks by far the most interesting and fun launch title. Id probably get an xbox one next year just so i know i can play this lol.

The build at GC was allegedly running on a PC and that has some bad framerate issues, so even if this is also running on a PC it's clear they've made substantial improvements in the past month or so.
 
I spoke with Tesco yesterday, as I had pre-ordered my Xbox One from there due to the wifes staff discount. Turns out they still havent been told by MS that their stock will be Day One editions.

But the Tesco Direct website is saying their stock is Day One and the guy at my local Tesco branch said all their stock was the same. So fingers crossed they are selling the Day One edition.


In other news.....think DR3 is definitely going to be one of my launch titles.

That and BF4 and hopefully FIFA 14.
 
Some info about DR3.

Dick the co-op character:



Psychos are named after the seven deadly sins: Greed is below:





There are two main types of non-zombie enemies in Dead Rising 3. The first are story-line characters such as Hunter Thibadeuax, a motor-cycle gang leader who menaces protagonist Nick Ramos and Nick’s boss Rhonda in one of the story’s boss encounters.

The second are the “Psycho” characters, each named after one of the seven deadly sins. These characters work differently from the story-line bosses. And unlike the story-line characters who may or may not be crazed or evil, the psychos are pretty bad to the core.

Looking forward to this.
 
"Dead Rising 3 now 'frame-locked at 30FPS'"

Dead Rising 3 is now "frame-locked" at 30FPS, producer Mike Jones has claimed, just one month after the game appeared to be suffering from major performance issues.

Discussing the game's performance at TGS with Polygon, Jones said that "if you saw it at Gamescom, we got a new drop from Microsoft literally that week, so you're seeing optimisations happening right now.

"We're in the midst of beta and final optimizations and polish — absolutely, we've got the game frame-locked at 30."

Sounds good to me. I said from the start I was hopeful they would get it to a stable 30FPS by launch and it seems that they have :)
