A new look at Capcom’s Xbox One launch exclusive Dead Rising 3 offers us our first glimpse into the game’s story. Even so, what you’re about to watch is full of slaughtering zombies more than anything else.
The story kicks off three days after the initial outbreak with mechanic Nick Ramos narrowly surviving the initial attack. Through a series of events he forms a small circle of friends, make that survivors, and together they scheme to escape the city they’re trapped in.
There’s also mention of a cure that Nick doesn’t seem to believe in. However, the game’s official synopsis suggests that Nick will in fact be on the hurt for the cure.
Nick Ramos was a simple mechanic before the outbreak. Now he’s fixin’ to be humanity’s only hope for survival in the search for a cure.
Dead Rising 3 doesn’t look like it will knock our socks off visually, but it will put a ton of zombies on the screen at once that I hope will replicate a zombie apocalypse better than any game before it has. I’ll take a step up in zombie quantity versus visuals in this instance, with a side plate of an airplane crashing into the city.
Dead Rising 3 comes to Xbox One on November 22.
