The guns handle very well and became a favorite weapon class of mine, which was a surprise since I was not a fan of guns in any of the previous Dead Rising installments. The bodies of the undead can be torn limb from limb and explode which make some weapons feel godlike. The combat in Dead Rising 3 is satisfying and makes the game enjoyable from the first kill to the last.

The game is capped at 30 frames per second, however a simple tweak can override that which I am baffled as to why it was not just included in the games options to turn it off. There are a decent number of zombie textures through the game so when you are slashing through them it doesn’t feel like your kill counter was filled by killing the same 10 basic zombies over and over. The amount of zombies on screen at once still manages to amaze me though, and ripping through them with a shotgun/sabre hybrid is so fulfilling. The texture pop-ups are still present here and there however, and weird glitches that made cars start bouncing around would randomly, but rarely occur. Now this isn’t the greatest looking game ever, but it actually surprised me how nice and crisp it looked compared to the Xbox One version. It looked beautiful being able to run at 1080p and the improved textures on the characters, backgrounds, and objects were noticeable. One of the biggest improvements I noticed over the Xbox one version of Dead Rising 3 was the improved graphics. Released November 22nd of 2013 Dead Rising 3 was an Xbox One exclusive, but now re-releasing with all 4 Los Perdidos DLC, higher resolutions and updated textures, is the Apocalypse Edition worth revisiting on PC? The Dead Rising games have always been a parody of the zombie genre and push the limits on how absurd it can make the end of the world, and the third official sequel is no different. It is a great game that revolves around slaying hordes of zombies with ridiculous weapons, while wearing even more ludicrous costumes. Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition is stupid, bloody fun in the most sincere way.
