[E3 2014] New ‘Dead Rising 3’ DLC Pokes Fun At Everything
It looks like the steady stream of DLC Dead Rising 3 has seen since its release on Xbox One last November isn’t over yet, as Capcom just confirmed another bit of DLC called — no joke — Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition DX Plus Alpha. It’s available now exclusively on Xbox One and it gives players the opportunity to play as classic Dead Rising characters.
This news comes right after Capcom revealed their plans to bring Dead Rising 3 to PC. It sounds like this DLC won’t be joining the game on Steam, at least not yet.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
