Capcom details Dead Rising 3 co-op

Online mode allows players to jump in and out of friend's game at any time with progression carrying over to their own game.

180 Comments

Microsoft and Capcom Vancouver have released new details about the online co-op mode for the Xbox One launch title Dead Rising 3.

No Caption Provided

In the online mode, players can jump in or out of a friend's game at any time. All progression and experience points achieved in a friend's game will carry back to their own game, Microsoft said.

In addition, all missions completed in a friend's game will also be registered as "complete" in their own, making it so players will never need to go back and replay a co-op mission.

In Dead Rising 3's co-op mode, players will drop into the boots of Dick, a "wisecracking trucker." According to his description, Dick sees Dead Rising 3 main character Nick Ramos as his best chance of escaping Los Perdidos alive and will play a "key role" in the story.

In addition to detailing Dead Rising 3's co-op mode, Capcom also revealed "super-combo weapons" for the game. This new tier of combo weapons requires at least three components to craft and features "unique abilities that let you decimate crowds of zombies with devastating effect."

Examples provided include the ultimate powershout (a concussive horn made of traffic cones), the ultimate grim reaper (a flaming scythe made of a katana sword, scythe, gas canister, and mask), and the massive bomb, described as a mini-nuke that obliterates all zombies close by.

Dead Rising 3 is an Xbox One exclusive and will be released as a launch title for the platform on November 22. Its gameworld is larger than the first two installments combined.

Dead rising 1 was a 360 exclusive. Dr2 case zero was a 360 exclusive. Dr2 case west was an exclusive. Dead rising has never been a "timed exclusve". When its advertised as being only on the xbox it stays that way. Microsoft funded the development of this game, and capcom definitely had to sign something agreeing that it was only going to release an xbox version. Even if the game were to tank on xbox (which it didnt, btw) they wouldnt lose a lot of money, because microsoft paid for most of it. However, if they were to develop and release a ps4 version, if it tanked they would lose a ton of money, and theyd get sued by microsoft.

So sure, it runs 720p and 30fps on xbox. However, even if the ps4 could run it better (which it couldnt, btw), it wont matter anyways, because its an xbox one exclusive.

But i think its sweet that an xbox exclusive is getting so much attention from sony fanboys. Why dont you guys focus more on your P.O.S4 exclusives, because whining about our games wont make them come to playstation. Capcoms announced it, and so has microsoft.

Fanboys being fanboys, what else is new? "It's being published by M$, so it won't come to PS4 XD!"

Withholding facts is the oldest trick in the fanboy book. You Xbone fanboys are getting lazy.

I will wait for them to release the game on PC at a later point. Most Xbox "exclusives" are only time exclusives that come out for other systems later and part of the deal is they can't say it is only timed.

Dead Rising 3 will be on PS4 too, bank on it. Same with Deep Down being on XONE.

Capcom even says that Deep Down is coming to "next generation consoles"

@ShutUpFanboys Like most "Xbox exclusives" I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up on PC later. Seing these games on PS4 might be a stretch though

this deal to have this exclusive on Xbone seems kinda poor on capcom's part. she is in a quite difficult economic state. what if the exclusivity doesn't generate enough money as a multiplatform release would? did they thought of that?

@PETERAKO It's being published by MS, which means they funded the development.

@TrueGB

It was a mistake on their part, I've seen that interview and I don't think they intended for it to sound like that.

To me it sounded like they meant they were trying to make the game more accessible to everyone, easier to pick up and play, not designing the game with only COD players in mind. Like getting rid of the timer and bathroom only save system in the campaign and letting players decide when they want to just mess around or do some missions.

Which as a long time DR fan it did bother me to hear that, but there is a nightmare mode that still has the timers and the only place to save a game is in the bathroom.

With only $153 million in the bank, Capcom better pray that this game sells.

@leeko_link Being the only open world launch exclusive, with zeds to boot, I think they can count on a W with this one. Reactions have been extremely positive from people who have played it. I expect good reviews.

@malokevi @leeko_link Being an Xbone exclusive, and a only appealing to COD kids, this game won't sell all that well.

Nice try there, Xbone fanboy.

@TrueGB @angryguy77

you didn't read past the first paragraph did you?


if you had you would have seen:

What is Voxel Cone Ray Tracing?
Ray tracing done cheap. It works in a similar same way. Instead of individual rays, or lines, being shot from each pixel, it uses cones and voxels. It covers a larger area and uses a few cones. Prior implementations used along the lines of 9-12 cones which obviously saves a lot of power compared to a ~million rays at a 1080p resolution. It makes ray tracing almost practical on current GPU power. But the triangle or polygon data being calculated on in the scenes are converted and stored as voxels.

and:

Why is this important in reference to the X1?
Because DirectX 11.2 and the X1 chip architecture is built for doing partial resident resources in hardware. Removes the limitations other software implementations had, which held some engines back, such as John Carmack's Rage.

Agreed, and they still have some details they're holding close to their chest.

I have a feeling we're going to get a surprise here at the end of the month. Not sure how big, but there is something new coming.
