[Comic-Con ’13] New ‘Dead Rising 3’ Gameplay And Weapons Revealed
“Every zombie’s a snowflake.” I’m glad someone finally said it.
Looking at this new ‘making of’ video, which made its debut at Comic-Con the other day, Dead Rising 3 looks like its gotten rid of the weird tonal shifts that plagued the first two games. For the most part, Dead Rising and its sequel were wacky, outlandish games with over-the-top gore and brief sparks of humor. This made the bits where the games got serious all the more uncomfortable. I liked having a sick little girl to take care of in the second game, but when daddy comes back armed with a chainsaw paddle and wearing a thong — I can’t take that “serious” moment seriously.
In Dead Rising 3, Capcom has finally decided on a tone for the games, and that’s gritty. The crazy weapon combinations are back, as are the psychopaths, time limit, and hordes of undead. You’ll still even be able to wear bizarre costumes, if you’re into that. Only now, it’s a gritty banana hammock. Enjoy a new featurette, where the devs talk about all these things — and more — after the jump.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
