Dead Rising 3 PC - Announcement Trailer

[UPDATE]

Capcom has also revealed the minimum and recommended requirements for Dead Rising 3. As we can see, Dead Rising 3 has somehow similar requirements to all recent next-gen console ports. Capcom claims that 6GB of RAM are required as minimum, so it will be interesting to see whether the game uses more than 2GB or not.

    1. i like GTA but screw R*, i’m done. they can keep it and it’s broken mess dead online to themselves

      1. won’t it be easier to get a f*ck@ng Xbox or PS3 for a very small price now and get done with GTAV!?

        Come on, stop kvetching, already. That’s R*’s deal how to manage theyr business and we can’t blame them for promotion of GTAV on consoles. They got pretty objective reasons to not develop GTA for PC.

        I think why not. But they think different, unfortunately. So it’s theyr business, however.

          1. exactly, with that price i can upgrade some of my stuff, for example i can buy another 8GB of ram or sell my gpu and buy a better one

          2. PS4 is getting me scratch my ears with TLOU, The Order and Uncharted. But of course after some upgrades, because Witcher is coming! lmao

            Multi = PC. Exclusives = PS4

          3. hahahhaha so you were in that trhead? that stupid steven guy claim that there is no downgrade on the order ,i even showed him some screenshots with the MASSIVE downgrade and he stills defend it…
            $ony just raped his brain ,plain and simple.

        1. “won’t it be easier to get a f*ck@ng Xbox or PS3”
          i can’t play in 720p with sub 30fps on ultra low quality textures in 2014, sorry. not only that but half of the GTA fun on PC are the mods, there aren’t any on consoles.

          “They got pretty objective reasons to not develop GTA for PC”
          yeah paid to not release on PC.

          “So it’s theyr business” & “That’s R*’s deal how to manage theyr business”
          and it’s my opinion, it’s up to me how i share my opinions

          1. “yeah paid to not release on PC.”

            I doubt that’s true. I think it’s Rockstar’s own choice, rather than someone paying them not to release it on PC. Most console manufacturers only pay for exclusivity on their own platforms, and GTA V isn’t an exclusive.

          2. yeah but they want to sell more consoles, both MS & Sony, i guess they might have some deal with rockstar and some other publishers

          3. I kow they’ve done that for timed DLC, but nothing particularly related to the PC. Most console manufacturers are mainly concerned with casual audiences, so PC really isn’t their target as such. But of course, I think Microsoft might’ve done it for its own games like Halo 3,4 etc, because those games literally sell Xboxes, so releasing those games on PC would mean people would have no reason as such to buy an Xbox. I despise the idea of exclusives altogether, but I can see why they’d want to do it from a business perspective. And of course, Sony (not Online) doesn’t even release PC games to begin with, so f*ck ’em.

          4. Timed console exclusive, just like Rising Dead 3. Vice City, San Andreas, GTA 4 all released over a year later after the console versions.

          5. I know, but I was referring specifically to MS and Sony exclusivity. PC doesn’t even figure in, since it has no platform holder in hardware terms.

          6. In this case it’s Ubisoft’s choice to release it on PC as well. That’s what I was talking about earlier… MS and Sony mainly care about exclusivity on their own console platforms. PC is not a matter of concern to them.

          7. which means sony paid for ms to NOT release it on xbox since the arkham games do infact have sony exlusive dlcs.

          8. And that has nothing to do with PC, since technically MS only owns Windows, not the PC hardware. And both MS and Sony profit from hardware sales, so their consoles get priority.

          9. i am only askign you why pc gets the same dlc as sony on watchdogs while in other games like arkham did not.

            Seems sony paid for ms not to have the dlc.

          10. Sure, just like MS paid Crystal Dynamics for Tomb Raider Underworld DLC. Happens all the time for consoles. But PCs are separated from this since it’s an open platform.

          11. that dlc though is STILL exlusive, as is arkham dlc, but wathchdogs dlc is exluded from xbox, which means that since no one payed the dlc for the pc version, that sony payed so ms doesnt ge the dlc.

          12. That would mean Sony paid for the DLC to stay only out of Xbox. So PC isn’t concerned here, which is what I’m saying.

          13. which is exactly what i said, we sayign the same thing and we have such hard time communicating AGAIN!!!

        2. “They got pretty objective reasons to not develop GTA for PC.”

          They dont, its just that they SUCK at pc progamming.

          Max payne 3 was made by rockstar vancounver and it was released on pc, bully was ported to pc by new england and la noire was ported by leeds. Rockstart north sucks at pc the gta iv was ported to pc by rockstar torronto and rdr was made by san diego who never even made a pc game

          Dont talk about piracy, right now pc gaming makes more money than consoles and even old console only games are now released to pc.

          Reason is not on pc is because they got technical issues.

          1. Have u seen what did they do with past-gen? It’s miracle. Really. I understand, could be, you haven’t noticed but GTAV with all content and it’s big world looked fantastic for PS360

            R* did theyr best even with eSRAM and Cell, do you really think they can’t handle PC version quality?

            Hahaha PC makes omore money? Have you ever seen VGcharts?
            Not all games released on PC, though. Anyway, I don’t care.

          2. “do you really think they can’t handle PC version quality?”

            Like i freakign said, they dont have any reason to not make the pc version, they suck at pc programing which is harder to do than consoles and gta iv pc was not made by rockstar north who made gta iv but it was ported by rockstar torronto.

            Many developers hire other studios to port to other platforms. Eg tomb raider and thief were brought to pc by nixxes.

            “Have you ever seen VGcharts?
            Not all games released on PC”

            Vgcharts doesnt count digital sales which is where pc makes the most money from.

            Type in google “pc gaming makes more money than consoles”

            You will find out that pc gaming does infact make more money than cnsoles.

            Also this gen all games will be released on pc because of how similar the architecture is. Just wait and you will see.

    2. Just move on . Rockstar doesn’t care about PC . End of story .
      Even IF GTA V comes to PC , Agent will be PS4 exclusive and new Red Dead will once again be delayed for PC or will never be released on it . Then GTA 6 will be delayed for PC .

      1. we moved on Umair 😀 but looks like R* forgot where GTA was started and how, where GTA online first created and how (a mod in gtaSA). Agent is more like a dead ip but Red Dead yeah, i can’t complain about Red Dead, it was on console since the first one.

        1. Agent is rumored to be at E3 . Forget R* man . Support devs that actually care about you and want your money . Lot of great stuff is coming out on PC . I am 100% sure that Quantum Break will end up on PC and that’s only console game I’m interested in .

          1. Don’t care about same old generic cover based shooters and Mario 1000 . Quantum Break is something new and fresh

          2. just like alan wake i think it will come to PC, maybe a year later or so but i hope it will

          3. No worry soon the teamkey or WTF they are called will release the WiiU key so maybe then Nintendo will sell some more WiiU’s ..LOL!

            I cant wait myself to get that WiiU key, allway pirate console crap if you can I say 😉

      2. Well I dont think so! GTA 5 is huge game and as so need a “huge” effort. But why wouldnt they bring to PC and Next-gen consoles?!

        1. Yes it’ll be on PC but I won’t be surprised if PS4 and X1 versions come out before PC version . They treat PC community like criminals . F*** em .

          1. Piracy is huge threat for devs. I wont blame them, but PirateBay scum users!

          2. no its not piracy is hugely overrated. Pc gaming is making more money now than ever before if pc sales are so bad due to piracy then why they bother releasing old games like oddysey to the west, brutal legend and viking battle for asgard?

            what are they stupid?

          3. Piracy on consoles are way bigger. Lets see if R* will do us that favor!
            Brutal legend damn great game!

          4. This.
            Ontop of that look how Halo 4, GTA 5, and Watch Dogs got leaked way before their release and pirated on consoles, Piracy is just an excuse and these AAA games are selling in the millions, pirated copies are a minority for them if anything.

            If Rockstar dont want to make money on PC that’s their problem, we shouldn’t need to ask or beg for games to come to our platform, at the end of the day it’s another £40+ in our pockets and one not going to them, this is why I support Ubisoft’s ports, they get them out in a decent amount of time and keep us in the know more or less, never mind the poor Watch_Dogs PC version however it’s not really justifiable.

            The only way I can justify them keeping tight-lipped on the PC version of GTA 5 is if they have something really sweet instore for us, which we’ll only know if they say anything.
            I’ve played the game on PS3, I want to buy it again on PC for the definitive experience, is it so hard to say “Yes” or “No” to a port?

            They’ve acknowledged us and know we want it with Tweets hinting toward a PC version and acknowledgement of the modding community, they’re not unaware of what’s going on.

          5. another noob with his strawman argument on piracy. come on kid, move on. piracy is not the issue here, its greed. 30 million copies sold and they cant port the game to pc? why? theyre gonna lose money? after selling 30 million copies? lol

            seriously, piracy is not the issue, pc is a very very viable platform and that has been proven plenty of times. so please, before you make arguments, use smart ones, not strawman piracy arguments.

          6. nah its techinical reasons, thats why all the R games that are on pc were made by other R studios. I bet they wait for next gen remake version.

          7. I dont believe it, they’re made by other studios but look how quick Max Payne 3 came out on PC, that’s how you do it, not torment customers who you know are eagerly awaiting it’s announcement and release.

          8. gta = rockstar north.
            gta iv pc= rockstar torronto
            bully pc and x360= rockstar new england.
            max payne 3= rockstar vancouver
            rdr= rockstar san diego
            la noire= team bondai
            la noire pc version= rockstar leeds.

          9. StarCitizen ? it’s AAA game. before it even released it managed to get almost 50million $, imagine that post full release

          10. OK. Like every damn PC gamer I am hoping for bigger releasing keep coming to PC.

          11. AAA= budget if you have that budget and spend it on a game, then your game is casual and made for the masses so ofcourse you gonan release it to as many plaforms as possible all AAA games are on pc apart from gta v.

          12. So now you’re sticking your nose up at games if they’re not AAA. A lot of AAA lack quality and deal mainly hype, made of sterotypes, plot holes and dumbed down gameplay mechanics for joypads..

      3. oh look, another one who really believes gta 5 wont come to pc haha. come on son, learn to understand the market before you make dumb assumptions. trust me, ta 5 will come to pc and i will bookmark this page just so i can come back and laugh at your face for being a dumbass.

    3. True but be sure of that those dipshits over R* right now are hard at work for the Pc version, to much money $$ to loose for those f*ckers otherwise!

  1. yeah 😀

    now in 1080p or more and 60fps or more. capcom are usually good with it’s ports for PC and it will be defenitive edtion 😀 however the system req recommended is a little bit odd. now it’s time for some Forza 😀

    it’s a good start if MS wants to really show some intrest in PC. DR3 was published by MS

    1. Yeah it’s good to see that it will come to the Pc even tho I dident like the other games, but to each of their own.

      Who knows maybe I will like this one and hell yeah, Capcom are allways awesome with the Pc versions 🙂

    1. Maybe that falls under “compatible gamepad”. They probably think that most PC gamers already have a 360 controller. Personally my first choice is always mouse and keyboard for anything other than 2d games and racing games. For those I still use my Logitech controller that I bought many, many years ago.

    2. Cuz that’s bullshit in compare with X360-controller and worse that DS4.

      Who would care about One-controller after all that? 😀

    3. And the good thing is that MS just today have released the drivers for the xbone controller for tha PC 🙂

  2. Probably because it wasnt as popular on the one. Cant say im surprised to hear this as I always believed the original E3 footage we saw of this game was running on PC.

  3. it’s happening people: (witcher 3 & gog live stream in less than 2 hrs)
    https://new.livestream……..com/accounts/8717080/events/3063017/player?width=640&height=360&autoPlay=true&mute=false&page_referrer=

  4. Exclusive? I am more certainly that if a exclusive game dont achieve an amount of sells the contracts of exclusivity is broken!

    1. yeah, Forza 5 was the worst game in the series filled with microtransactions, even turn10 said they didn’t have much time and they said their sorry for rushed game and it’s microtransactions. i like to see forza 6 or a nice forza 5 with all of it’s DLC on PC, forza horizon was a little bit more arcadish than forza but what the hell i will be happy if one of them release on steam

      1. Forza 4 came with my 360 but apart from not even playing it apart from just starting it I’ve never been interested in those , Horizon to me is the best Racing game I’ve played ,The racing,atmosphere and Music were all what made it really shine , Need for speed has kinda lost it’s appeal,Codies series of games are great but yeah.., glad Horzion 2’s coming on 360 aswell so no need of a new console, but yeah wanna try the and see if creating a petition or something will get their attention

  5. noooo i wanted ryse instead.

    Just kidding.

    So this is how microsoft is gonna do exlusives? can i haz quantum break too?

        1. Heh that may be true, have seen some comments about that Sony had an underwhelming E3 so all is good then ..LOL!

          Annyway I will of course test this game, who knows it may be funny as hell 🙂

  6. I know they say resolution doesn’t matter, but the differences b/w the PC and X1 versions are beyond obvious.

  7. Lol , remember that Dead Rising 3 gameplay at Micrsoft’s conference .?
    “With the power of Xbox One , we are able to create huge … [Windows 7 error sound in the backgroud] ” .

  8. All is well and good even tho it’s the same crap as the other in the serie. But for those who like that stuff why not 🙂

    And please John, lay down all that talk about 4gb memory bla bla blaa.
    Every pc gamer have 8GB ram or more these days or else just gtfo and get some more ram!

    Who the f*ck can call themself a gamer and just use 4gb huh. Just saying!

  9. A dedicated PC version of a console-exclusive without a PS4 version to tag along? Color me thoroughly impressed, Capcom!

  10. Feb 24th is the Witcher 3’s official Release Date and new unseen footage is coming in few minutes. it started. john ? we need an article about this.

    https://new.livestream………..com/accounts/8717080/events/3063017/player?width=640&height=360&autoPlay=true&mute=false&page_referrer=

          1. The PS4’s supposed to be running at high, I think I could push 45+ @900p, not 60 because of my CPU bottlenecking, but then again my GPU is alot more powerful.

          2. I can hit 75fps on low at 1080p, SMAA on my GTX 660, the game is just VRAM limited. The game is well optimised as long as you’re not VRAM limited according to my tests.

          3. i get around 30 fps at high with 1680×1050, oh look i got a next gen experiance without a need for next gen consoles.

  11. Hmm 6GB its to low i think cuz’ when im gaming in WD after an hour of playing game uses 4.5-5GB Ram already 😉 Thats why folks talking about stutter after long period of gaming, Game is RAM hungry and it will eat RAM and then eat Swap 😀 lol Optimisation is very poor
